I'm in love with the shape of you We push and pull like a magnet do 😐🥔
Almost 7 years ago three girls in Moscow named Krestina, Angelina, and Maria Khachaturyan (19, 18 and 17 years old back then) agreed to kill their father. Only now in 2025 the court agreed they had the reason to: the deceased was tried posthumously and finally had been found guilty of abusing them.
He was a violent drug-addicted person with police connections, who beat his wife Aurelia for 20 years, kicked out his son when he was about 14 then Aurelia herself, and forbad her to contact the girls. He raped and tortured his daughters, threatening them with weapons and controlling their every move. Nobody helped even after he pulled them out from school.
In one of the interviews, Krestina told about the order their father established at home:
He demanded that we always be there and come at his first call. He had a special bell, which he rang, and one of us should immediately run up to him, day and night. And do whatever he says — to bring water, food and miscellaneous other… He could not make an effort even to open the window himself, and we had to serve him as slaves.
One night when he got angry with them again he tortured them with pepper spray, causing Krestina, the oldest, asthma attack. Later that night the younger sisters attacked him with knife and hummer and with the help of Krestina who woke up because of sounds of fighting they killed him.
I remember the initial news, the details about abuse that came later, the arrest of three girls. The BIL of the deceased was called a victim of the crime and was doing everything he could to influence the prosecution and the court so they would punish his nieces in full. He denied the abuse, accused them of lying, girls’ messages were leaked and used to paint them as spoiled brats. Our ‘Incels movement’ joined him in this.
At the same time there were a lot of feminist protests going on, and I think it was the last huge joint feminist activity before the war began and feminism was called destructive movement close to terrorism (they haven’t banned us yet, but it could happen any time). And it worked, it helped, and I think the decision to charge the deceased father with abuse was one of the last good news we had here.
In the year 2025 when feminism is a dirty word in our country, when domestic abuse is no more a criminal offence, when people get twice longer sentences for antiwar graffiti than for rape or murder, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the news today. I hope that sister will be found not guilty or at least will be considered righteously defending themselves and will get suspended sentences. Didn’t they suffered enough? They are still forbidden to meet each other.
This woman is Dr. Grace Murray Hopper. She created the first computer language compiler tools to program the Harvard Mark I computer. This computer was used in WWII after 1944. John von Neumann initiated the computer's first program, but Hopper invented the codes
i hate being on the internet on april 1st because i read something, get excited and then remember… it’s all a lie
The domination of male-coded language.
Especially in the 2010’s, everyone called each other “bro” and “dude”. I’m sure it even happened before this timeframe. Doesn’t matter who is who, what is what. You called everyone and everything “Bro” “Bruh” “Dude” “Man”.
Not many complained. Actually, the expression was shared back. Another way of saying homie. Everyone said it. Everyone accepted it.
Even till this day, for the most part, it is a part of our daily language. It’s become common language, usually to specify friendliness and common ground.
But why doesn’t this happen with female-coded language?
“Girl” “Girlypop” “Bestie”. While I’ll admit, Bestie is not technically female coded, a lot of women do use this word.
I think about how so many people, especially men, get annoyed or upset when called “Girl”. Even “Bestie”. I see men talk about it on Social Media, about how much they hate getting called that. They get annoyed. It’s even come to a point, it is seen as transphobic, we cannot call people Girly Pop or Girl because it can offend someone who is trans identifying.
People come to the defense “well not everyone feels comfortable with that” “not everyone identifies as female”. But only when people are offended by the female-coded terms.
Where is the same energy with women getting offended by being called Bro and Dude? During the 2010’s Giant SJW Bash, I’ve seen women come out that they hated being called Bro and Dude. And nobody had that same logic. They told these women, get over it. Everyone gets called Dude & Bro. It’s normal. It’s a good thing.
The normalization that being male is gender neutrality.
Being called Dude, Bro, Man— it’s ok. Even if you don’t like it. Even if you’re not a man. You should be lucky to be seen as a fellow…man…
