Oh Shit They Want To Be A Part Of The ‘weird Spiritual Belief But Go Off King’ Group?

That wasn’t the original argument. Op didn’t say, ‘JK Rowling does a lot for women but her posts are bad’ it says ‘Rowling isn’t a feminist just Gender Critical.’ That’s why her actual feminist actions are relevant in this conversation in the same way it’d be relevant to bring up The Carnegie Foundation if we were talking about his views and influence on education (but obviously not if we were talking about all the horrible shit he did for workers rights.)

j.k. rowling is probably the biggest example of why i say that TERFs and GC’s aren’t the same group of people and they have a different orientation towards enforcing patriarchy. because rowling isn’t even pretending to be a “feminist.” she never posts about feminist politics. she’s a straight woman doing what they do best i fear (derogatory).

”No one is saying you have to-“

Well ignoring the last post that literally said, ‘there is no version of no to a penis that I consider morally acceptable’ - when you call something an ‘-ist’ or ‘ic’ you’re making a negative value assessment of a behavior. If I said, ‘that’s misogynistic’ it is saying that the behavior negatively impacts female people and there’s a moral obligation to change it.

So when you call refusing sex an ‘-ist’ or ‘-ic’ act you are saying there is a moral obligation to have sex with people based on a given trait.

Didn't wanna add this to the last post bcs it's a bit off topic but HEY WHAT THE FUCK??

Wow! What a great idea, it's not like there's ever been a severe weather event that ended up killing a bunch of people who only speak Spanish because they did not have access to appropriate warning systems they could understand due to systemic racism treating them as disposable-OH WAIT NO THAT DID HAPPEN.

Actual horseshit. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the USA, this is just another sign that systemic racism continues to devalue the lives of anyone who isn't white and it will get people killed. I'm not kidding, I don't fuck around with severe weather warning systems, and if you take even the shallowest look at the history of meteorology in this country you will immediately see how many people have died due to not being properly informed about tornados and other natural disasters. Anything that makes it harder for the average person to know if a goddamn tornado is heading right for them or not is a miscarriage of social justice and should be corrected immediately.

Idk what can be done to restore the channel, but in the mean time please look out for your friends, family, and neighbors, especially if you live somewhere prone to natural disasters and extra especially if they don't speak English. If The Weather Channel won't step up to ensure that the flow of information is easily accessible to everyone who needs it we're gonna have to do it ourselves.

Okay last post for the night.

A person recommended on a post to look up the white supremicist concept of ‘the right to comfort’, so I look it up and find that it’s kind of irrelevant to what they were talking about (No actually, thinking wearing a ball gag in public as an exhibitionist kink without making sure everyone there wants to be a part of said experience isn’t related to this) BUT it is relevant to other things. The right to comfort is about people with power (specifically white people in America) disliking conflict. It’s more important to keep the peace than to actually discuss or fight for any of our rights. Everyone should just calm down and be nice, no one can take you seriously if you come across as too mean. It’s about tone policing, dishonesty and silencing of victim’s voices because their experiences make you too uncomfortable to think about.

…

Anyway.

I don’t like Pork, I like kale

”But have you tried my bacon? My bacon is to die for, everyone loves my bacon.”

That’s cool, that a lot of people enjoy your bacon that is. But I don’t like pork, so it probably won’t be nice for me.

“What if I snuck little pork bits inside your kale, you’d probably like it than right?”

No. I don’t like pork so it’d just kind of ruin what’d otherwise be a good meal for me.

“You like chicken with your kale and that’s practically the same as pork!”

… No. Chicken is chicken. They’re both meats I guess but chicken isn’t pork.

“I think everyone secretly likes pork, they just haven’t had it cooked the right way.”

Then your ideas about the world are wrong, because I don’t like pork.

“I totally get what you mean, I’m a Muslim and I’m 100 percent against eating pork! I do crave bacon and pork chops all the time though I mean who doesn’t? Don’t get how you’re into kale though I mostly live on chicken and lettuce.

I don’t crave pork. Because I don’t like it, I do like kale though- it honestly doesn’t seem like you get what I mean at all.

“Oh yeah, I ate pork and found it pretty okay, but than I had kale and it was the bomb! It was so good it made me realize I never liked pork!”

I don’t think kale is just… Better than pork, I straight up don’t like it.

“You know I experimented with kale when I was younger than realized-“

I’m going to blow up the world.

See the funny thing is most people are chill with co-ed as an option. There are places where female people are too vulnerable for third spaces to be considered reasonable (Mostly related to shit like strip searching or prisons) but in 75 percent of cases single sex spaces are an alternative created because males couldn’t stop harassing people. Like most spaces for marginalized groups.

To that anon: I like keeping positive comments to hold. It was sweet and I'm glad you sent it. I hope you find people who you feel free to learn and discourse with freely.

If you sincerely want me to fuck off, say it again in the next reply or don’t reply at all. It seems like you replied because you wanted to have a conversation but if you don’t I won’t make you have one.

That being said I’m not pro-religion and I’d like any kind of citation of ‘faux feminism’ being equally responsible for abuse as an industry where the vast majority of people express that they do not want to be involved in it but lack the means to escape. I’d like to know how faux feminism compares to Pornhub’s founder admitting to profiting from videos made without the consent of its users.

Your argument isn’t even pro-sex-industry though, it’s just saying, ‘other groups are also bad so don’t look at this one’. Should I not critique Amazon because it pays its workers and Nestle and Apple use actual literal child and slave labor or are all four groups worth fucking despising for how they take advantage of vulnerable people?

the fact that criticizing the sex industry is seen as more oppressive than the sex industry itself should really make people think

“I have a tracker in me,” read the cryptic note, found in triage by a greenhorn doctor — scribbled by a woman in the emergency room.

She claimed to have been implanted with a GPS tracking device of some kind — an assertion not unheard of, but never the less unusual.

Dr. A, anonymous for safety concerns, rolled his eyes — ordinarily, such a note would be a sure indicator of mental illness, for which a psychiatrist would need to be summoned.

But this woman appeared lucid. Sane. Not at all paranoid or delusional.

And she had an incision.

So an x-ray was performed, and medical personnel gathered to view the results. But they stood breathless in disbelief — indeed, while they didn’t find a GPS tracker,

“Embedded in the right side of her flank is a small metallic object only a little bit larger than a grain of rice,” Dr. A recounted for Marketplace’s Dan Gorenstein. “But it’s there. It’s unequivocally there. She has a tracker in her. And no one was speaking for like five seconds — and in a busy ER that’s saying something.”

“It was a small glass capsule with a little almost like a circuit board inside of it,” the 28-year-old doctor.

Shock turned fast to concern when the doctors grasped what the presence of the object signaled about the 20-something woman’s life — and why she’d handed over the bizarre note.

“It’s an RFID chip. It’s used to tag cats and dogs, And someone had tagged her like an animal, like she was somebody’s pet that they owned.”

In fact, the unnamed woman had been treated as a pet — a possession — by her boyfriend, who sold her for sex and pocketed the money she brought back.

She was one of an innumerable amount of victims of human trafficking — a colossal problem in every corner of the globe, including the United States — where Dr. A has residency at a hospital in a ‘major American city,’ Marketplace discreetly noted.

That modern day slavery is alive and unfortunately booming, even in the U.S., might jar the somnambulant masses — after all, schools rightly cover the nation’s history of antebellum slavery quite thoroughly. But human trafficking and exploitation constitutes a modern iteration of baneful practice.

“Very plainly,” Katherine Chon, director of the newly created Office on Trafficking in Persons at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, told Gorenstein, “human trafficking is when one person takes advantage of another person for some profit.”

Sex isn’t the only reason people buy other people — human trafficking sadly staffs a number of industries with forced laborers, from the menial and repetitive tasks of manufacturing, to domestic service.

Under threat of violent punishment — or worse — victims often endure horrific trauma and find it difficult, if not impossible, to alert others to their circumstances for assistance.

Most Radfems and the like don’t respect DNIs- which I honestly think kind of sucks in its own way. You don’t owe me or anyone your time or attention and I’m not owed access to your blog. A DNI is a polite request to respect a boundary and you- the person reading this- your right to your own space and your own boundaries matters. Never let anyone make you believe the lines that you place don’t matter.

Sometimes I respond to posts on my for you out of habit though and don’t check blogs beforehand. If I break your DNI, I’m sorry especially if I do so in a way that triggers you. Please curate your online experiences as needed.
