What do you think when men say “if you want act like a man I’ll treat you like a man“ in regards to psychical altercations between men and women?

I think it is a lie. I think it means: “if you rebel against your assigned submissive gender role, and reclaim your own autonomy as a complex human being worthy of dignity, I will punish you for it with violence to maintain my own privilege and subjugate you”

I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Your reward.

their misunderstanding of the whole “gender EQUALITY” thing is almost embarrassing to witness. 

I do not want to be equal to a man, for fuck sake, why would I want to be associated to an obnoxious douche bag?

They think that we should model ourselves in their image and strive to be them.

That we should compete to be respected in men’s masculine confines.

“Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.”

The idea that women have some sort of “power” over (straight/bi) men by virtue of their “sex appeal” is such a common idea that it shows up in my life almost daily, like when my mom suggests that I should use it to get men to help me with things or when a guy messes up what he’s doing because he’s looking at me or in films and music and whatever.

The thing is, when someone has *real* power over you, you don’t have control. I can’t force men to stop seeing me as a bitch if I speak up for my needs or as a pathetic damsel if I don’t. I can’t force them to give women equal representation in government and business and STEM. I certainly can’t force them to stop harassing and assaulting us. That’s because they have power over me and all other women, especially women of color.

Whatever power I have over white men is illusory. They *can* choose not to look at me. They can choose to focus on what they were doing and it’s a dangerous lie that they can’t. They can choose not to give me the larger drink for free. But they don’t choose that, because it’s fun to look at me and it’s fun to flirt a little and give me the thing for free “because your smile is so beautiful.”

Women get sold this idea that they have this “power,” this ability to “control” and “tempt” and “destroy” men, because it’s a distraction from noticing the actual power that we don’t have. Indeed, who needs equal wages for equal work or political representation or the freedom to live without fear of rape when we can make some dude crash his bike into a pole because he was staring at us?

Okay, but if it was about self control, men would be raping women on the streets in broad daylight in front of people because they’d just lose control. Men rape because they want to and because they feel entitled to women’s bodies. They rape because they see us as objects. It’s not a self-control issue.

Princeton University psychologist Susan Fiske took brain scans of heterosexual men while they looked at sexualised images of women wearing bikinis. She found that the part of their brains that became activated was pre-motor – areas that usually light up when people anticipate using tools. The men were reacting to the images as if the women were objects they were going to act on. Particularly shocking was the discovery that the participants who scored highest on tests of hostile sexism were those most likely to deactivate the part of the brain that considers other people’s intentions (the medial prefrontal cortex) while looking at the pictures. These men were responding to images of the women as if they were non-human.

BUT SEXISM ISN’T REAL Y’ALL WE’RE JUST MAKING IT UP. THIS ISN’T

LITERAL OBJECTIFICATION. 

NAH. (via

Men will still pretend that sexual objectification isn’t real or they don’t do it.

Men Lie 3 Times More Than Women, Telling On Average 1,095 Lies A Year

“Shocking”? Nah.

Men are more likely to have anti social personality and narcissistic personality. Constant, shameless lying is a part of that. I wonder if they controlled for those disorders, or if it is even possible to.

This is evidence that women are more likely to be credible and trustworthy.

“Twenty-one per cent of marriages in which the woman fell ill resulted in divorce, while only three per cent failed when it was the man who was diagnosed with a serious condition.”

Well, this is depressing.

In addition to knowing you could be left at a moment’s notice through no fault of your own, you’re expected to do the emotional labor of managing both of your social lives and most of the housework, and that’s not even getting into duties relating to kids.

😐

is anyone really that surprised

men don’t know how to take care of people so when their wives get sick they bail lol

I’ve never even heard rumors or even wild stories about ““female hate mobs”“ who just gang up on “innocent” men.

But this is supposedly a very common occurrence.

It is very easy to lie for men to lie about women with no consequences. Men don’t need any evidence they just say stupid shit and many people believe them. 

For example: I remember when some scumbag flashed his dick at at an anti rape protest and misogynists made anti feminist memes of it. They pretended he was the victim and that feminists are attacking poor innocent men. But women can’t say anything without some fuckheads demanding a source from a scientific journal.
