regular reminder that the most woke way to mock a man is to imply that sexual virility is the key to male worth; oh yeah and all men are straight
Patriarchal attitudes are the most feminist thing possible
Bad Trad Chad: You see, women are weak and helpless creatures at the mercy of strong, powerful men, who hold all agency and make all decisions.
Dumb Internet Feminists: Yes, I agree, it is definitionally impossible for women to have power.

Gender, on Tumblr, is a Discourse Attack Surface:
Woman? “Shut the fuck up, you sexist bitch.” “Hush, Karen,” and so on.
Man? Obviously you don’t understand the Lived Experiences of Womyn, you’re an oppressor, you’re coming from a place of privilege, et cetera.
Transwoman? You can’t be a true woman because you were socialized male, and therefore oppressor, at birth. (Or various right-wing criticisms.)
Transman? Why are you trying to become the oppressor gender, you delusional wannabe oppressor?
Nonbinary? Make up your mind / stop trying to escape your obligations to WOMEN
And so on.
Not providing it makes it more difficult for [discourse rival] to avoid engaging with the content of a post by writing it off as written by [enemy gender]. They still can, but they have to assume the gender to do so, which is a discourse liability.
But on some level, you’re right - it’s probably no accident that all my long-term exes are bisexual women of some kind or another.
“but how will I ever be able to get laid if modern culture frowns upon me getting coworkers drunk and making out with them against their mumbled protestations?? it’s not like my wife is gonna sleep with me lol”
I have not actually worked out how modern culture proposes people are meant to get laid.
I mean, people obviously seem to be doing it, but there appears to be no acceptable strategy.
You ignore the recommendations, and prove how manly you are by taking on the risk anyway, getting shut down viciously if you’re too low-status.
The problem is that any permissible channel will be FLOODED due to the mismatch between the demand for sex from women and demand for sex from men, at least at the noisiest age pools.
Secondly, straight women (generally, on average) do not want to initiate beyond the barest hints, ones that are plausibly deniable if she turns out not to be wanted by that particular guy, leaving her sense of being desirable intact.
What is going to change this is early Transhumanism, as it’s going to alter the sex ratio and potentially result in an increase in bisexuality.
I mean, in practice I used a dating website, which implicitly includes the idea that everyone there for dating is there for dating, and specifies their orientation, so if you don’t have “short/long-term dating” and so on your profile, no fuck for you,
but I don’t necessarily match the patterns of other people, so this may not be actionable advice.
Anyhow, to add on to this, revealing you find someone hot when you’re attempting to extract resources or in a high-stakes …relationship negotiation? …hurts your bargaining position.
At least, you can still get away with pretending that you have to be won over (and showered in all the resources that “winning over”) requires, so long as there are more incoming proposals than outgoing ones, such that the norm is they have to approach you if they find you hot.
As the sex ratio changes, this becomes less and less feasible.
Since I expect a decent-sized chunk of people (3-5%) to “exit” from being male (as we know it) once the technology improves, that throws the bargaining out of whack, as does bisexuality, which means you’re competing with more people for a higher virtual gender ratio… or something. Naturally, once being a sex is more voluntary, what being that sex means changes as well.

totally, obnoxiously, horribly uncharitable:
can i want to fuck the monster girls tho
because i’m like them and they’re like me and we both need someone
also like
“every kind of woman is sexualized”
no, they really aren’t. and the insistence that they are is very typical of a certain kind of abled feminism. the kind that insists that all women are drowning in catcalls when some women would give their left tit to be considered someone’s, anyone’s, lust object.
Feminism is Sexism plus Popularity.
Feminism cannot ever possibly be defeated and it will burn down every single thing that makes living tolerable and salt the earth just for the joy of annihilation.
You honestly think they’re going to stop the cybernetics/tissue industry?
Because what it means to be “a woman,” as a category, is on a countdown timer right now.

Honey, darling,
You’re missing like the remaining 11/12ths necessary to describe a full neurotype matrix. I feel cheated, here. But I guess I can’t expect people to be living in the gender world of 2052.
I’ll just take the average.
5/10 Strawberry (F)
3/10 Watermelon (A)
2/10 Cherry (M)
An interesting reading. I have been known to describe people, gender-wise, by ratios like this.
They can’t undo Toxic Masculinity, because they don’t understand Masculinity, and they don’t want to.
…because that would mean understanding things about themselves that they don’t want to understand, either.

Someone once asked, on a post, “wait, is that a period joke?” Yes, yes it was. It was also several other jokes simultaneously. But that has a certain weight to it in peoples’ gender reading intuitions.
Anyhow,
Avatars have a powerful effect on how we read people online, and lead to us making various subconscious assumptions. Don’t worry though, I didn’t choose my avatar as a ‘gotcha’ to trip people up with.
In an environment where gender presentation is much more of a choice than it is elsewhere, it also becomes part of communication and describing one’s intent to others, just as @wirehead-wannabe‘s rat avatar gives off a certain vibe about him, and @argumate‘s rotated pyramid is as frustratingly neutral as his posts.
So the avatar, too, is part of the message of this blog, an indicator of tone and so on, in addition to visual branding to make it recognizable and differentiate it from other blogs.
I will say that the grey is a deliberate choice as no real races are grey. Yet.
Boston-based multi-trillion asset manager State Street Global Advisors, the controversial company behind the now infamous feminist symbol (and selfie cameo) The Fearless Girl, is settling federal allegations that it discriminated against 305 women in senior positions by paying them less than their male counterparts.
The settlement, first reported by Bloomberg, also names fifteen black vice presidents paid less than their white counterparts, genders not specified.
Now remove the statue so that we can have our glorious bull, which was originally placed somewhat subversively but kept due to the adoration of the people, restored to its original context.
SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
