feminist villain in a Shounen Jump series, she's so cooked

The truth 🐊

sorry i put this elsewhere but i might as well share it here in case people here need it for future internet arguments

A panel from Chainsaw Man where Denji is sitting on the side of a bed while Your is asleep next to him saying, "Couldn't sleep cuz too many boners..."

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

when I got a job fresh out of high school, I had a couple of older adults befriend me and be a mentor figure to me, which was something I was sorely lacking. I really treasured those relationships and they helped me grow and I'm sure kept those folks from feeling lonely and disconnected from things

Yeah, "go to work" and "go to school" work the same way, with the emphasis on attendance. "She went to church" implies showing up for a scheduled event like a mass, but "she went to the church" implies she has some other business there, raising the question "to do what exactly".

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

I have a soft spot for KLK but more in broad strokes than in execution. Action-packed, almost all conflict is between female characters, no romance, outstanding production. I hate that female action heroes are assumed to have no mass appeal without humiliating fanservice.

Love that they're just worried about *sounding* transphobic

So, for any cis people who have money, would like to say that if you feel lost about what to do regarding these trans EOs. Please direct yourself to my venmo (@ Zadja) or my cashapp ($ShomariK). Money is a great help in these trying times. 💗

Oh wait, sorry, "lazy thinking". But something tells me you don't get so precious about lazy thinking when people say shit like "eat the rich". It's just women having class consciousness that bothers you.

Well, you just kind of announced that women complaining about men's treatment of us is bad for left politics, as if that isn't super sleazy to say. Not sure how else I can disagree with it since you didn't say why it was so bad.

I mean, it can't be all that important if you immediately reach for MRA talking points when women talk about how men treat us and think about us.

You know what's bad for left politics? Telling women that us complaining about men's dehumanizing attitude is a slippery slope to racism. It just comes across like you're telling us to shut up.

Given that you keep equivocating between misandry and anti-blackness throughout this conversation, we might as well be living in alternate realities. You seem to treat sexism like a hypothetical problem or one that communism will automatically fix.

Sure, I would recognize it as anti-black (as ridiculous as that scenario sounds). But being "anti-men" would only be analogous to being anti-black if we lived in a matriarchy. Which we don't, by the way.

If you believe that all women who dare to mention that a lot of men view us as less human, are all screeching feminazis who think men are born evil... I'm sorry but you might just hate women too much to be able to differentiate between us as individuals.

No idea what you mean by that social process being "outside" (of what?) but yes obviously I see it as a learned behavior. Nobody else in this conversation implied otherwise, you just projected it there. It's convenient if you need to believe we're all rabid feminazis or whatever.

Ah, a "no u", fascinating

But nobody in this conversation said that men's tendency to dehumanize women is inherent or natural. I wouldn't be talking about sexism as an ideology if I believed it was natural.

But I did say that street crime is downstream from poverty, in a different reply...

Meanwhile the tone for the way men relate to women is primarily set by the patriarchy. There is no material condition that causes men to dehumanize women (for being women) outside of the ideology of sexism itself.

I was paraphrasing, are you not familiar with the concept?

Alternatively, you could enlighten me: if you really find that observation so harmful, what should women say when we plead for our rights to not be rolled back? Should we not even try to discuss why this latest patriarchal backlash is happening? Just say "pretty please can we keep our rights"?

And I still don't understand how making this observation about the way so many men view women enables fearmongering about street crime. If it's so self-evident, surely you can share with the class how the former leads to the other.

Street crime statistics are not just abused for racist ends, they are also dishonest on their own since street crime is primarily caused by poverty.

"Men tend to view women as not fully human" observes a motivation behind misogynistic behavior, which helps to describe gender as a hierarchy.

unforgivable web/app UX trend: the thing where the minute you start typing a search, results start showing up every time you add a letter and, inevitably, everything lags the fuck out

i should not have to write my search terms in notepad and copy-paste them in!!! 🫠

You're the one who said a woman sharing her experiences about men is basically the same as her citing crime statistics to support a white-supremacist agenda. Then you declined to elaborate on what the logical link is between these two things, as if it was self-evident
