“Cis women who don’t pass” is such an insane thing to say. Do you even hear yourself? “Cis women” don’t need to “pass as women”. We literally ARE women, it’s that simple. The concept of passing doesn’t make the slightest sense when applied to a person who doesn’t identify as trans.
no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment
Men have what's called "explosive" strength. Power + speed. The price of this type of strength is tiring quickly and tissue injury. If a man can't overwhelm you in the first few minutes, he's lost his "advantage". They also have low pain tolerance. Strikes are loudly telegraphed and slow compared to maneuvering and grappling. Most men don't train legs at all.
Learning how to fight with a woman's strengths is a game changer. Endurance, flexibility, joint manipulation, reflexes, environmental awareness, marksmanship. The disparity in strength that exists between a man's upper body and a woman's upper body, exists between a woman's hips and a man's hips. Regardless, women need to do full body heavy strength training to shore up what socialization has depleted-- strength training also increases your bone density. Hormonal birth control weakens you.
Eyes, ears, nose, tendons, small joints. Men fight for fun and status/ego. Women fight for survival. If a fight cannot be avoided, you must move to kill/cripple first and without mercy. The more meaty/fat the neck, the more your chokes will hurt. A properly applied choke kills in approximately two minutes or less. Men are especially susceptible to foot, ankle and knee manipulation. If you can hook his balls with your fingers and bust them, there's a strong chance of him choking to death on his own vomit.
I've spent most my life getting in fights. Men are sloppy, stupid, overemotional, and weak. Their strengths have nothing on ours. But you do need to start navigating the world as if we at war. An isolated woman is a woman in danger. Failure to cultivate your woman body and instincts can cost you your life at worst, your self assurance at least.
Idgaf if you don't want to write essays for school. I don't care if you don't want to write corporate emails yourself. I don't care if you can't draw well, I don't care if you can't write well, I don't care if you just really really want to talk to your favorite fictional character but don't want to RP with a real person because you have social anxiety or whatever
If you're still regularly using generative ai, chatgpt or midjourney or character.ai or literally whatever the fuck, im personally blaming you when my utility prices start going up.
Excluding the crucial fact that office jobs pay you an income….if staying home to raise children and do chores and bake bread was really so much easier and more joyful than working in an office on some objective level, why aren’t men doing it? Why aren’t they chomping at the bit to be ~leisurely house husbands~ to a working wife? Why aren’t they stepping up to depend solely on someone else’s income in exchange for round-the-clock domestic labor, if it’s really as blissful and their propaganda suggests? Curious.
my sister kinda cooked today. we were talking about how dumb it is that people consider (insert bigoted group here) mistaken little uwus (i call it “uwu culture” as a current response to cancel culture where people are uncritically assumed to be “misled” or uneducated or “victimized” as justification for the bigoted beliefs ) and she said:
“people keep trying to humanize villains when the villains are already human”
and i stood up and clapped for her and told her the women in my phone will greatly appreciate that statement
oppressors are already human. in general, the problem is that their humanity is validated while those of the oppressed are not. when we describe them by their inhumane treatment, that is not dehumanization. that is recognizing that the leopard is a carnivore.
nazism isn’t a cosmic accident. nazism does not exist outside of nazis. the ideology is realized in the ideologue. patriarchy is men. not something that happens to them. for them to be misogynists or nazis or racists or homophobes, they have already accepted that your humanity is forfeit to them.
stop babying bigots.
i have gained the boss level skill of being incredibly difficult to shame or embarrass. more women should try it. it drives everyone crazy when you’re a woman who doesn’t self-flagellate over any mistake or quirk or prostrate yourself when you aren’t perfect in (insert social role) or hedge your words with a thousand sorries to accommodate the feelings of adults who just expect you to affirm them bc you’re a woman which means validation machine. when you’re nonchalant about your mistakes instead of monologuing about them. when people realize you aren’t bully-able because you don’t give enough of a shit to give them reactions. it’s like watching infinity war in 5d to them. they can’t fucking believe it.
