Thinking Back On My Childhood When I Thought That My Country Liberated Itself From Fascism So No Way

when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart

like ok we can all solve differential equations but can you do that while being a decent person? mm yeah didn't think so

In Italy, it's really common for clubs (like discos) to do free entry for women, which is clearly a marketing tactic to get more disgusting males to buy a ticket because they're going to find girls there.

Is this common in other countries as well? Do young people talk about it? Here it's a huge MRA argument for "women's privilege" 🙄

I love being in a women-only fighting class but kinda miss being able to kick men when I was in a mixed one :(

One of the lowest points of the leftist/feminist cultural landscape in my country, posting because I'm still mad:

So-called feminist author (a woman) runs one of the most important independent book fairs in Italy.

Last year's edition was dedicated to a young woman who was killed by her former boyfriend.

Also last year, this author (a man) was invited while being accused of domestic violence by his former girlfriend - this was widely known at the time of the invite.

Before being found guilty, he revokes his participation from the fair. Some time later (days or few weeks, I think), the matter is taken to court, they find him guilty.

Condemned to 4 years (because domestic violence is a joke for courts).

The woman organising the fair goes to the press and says "it's a shame that he revoked his participation, I will still hold the event and I'll talk about his book instead of him"

Some days later she apologies, the apology is along the lines of "we hurt your feelings, we're sorry, we're going to replace his event with a panel on feminism".

She's considered one of the most prominent feminist intellectuals at the moment in Italy.

He was considered an ally and constantly praised by other so-called feminist women in intellectual spheres.

German anti-prostitution-sticker reading "Johns (as in clients of prostitutes) aren't comrades, Pimps deserve to be shot"

finally bought "right-wing women" by Dworkin so expect commentary in the next few days 🤩

We're not making it out of the patriarchy

for reparation, you know

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

my working theory when reading elon musk news is that he watched house of cards and didn't understand who the bad guy was
