'For anyone under the age of 25, they’ve likely never seen it in their lifetime – as the giggling blonde with an amazing rack has been stamped out of existence, a creature shamed to the brink of extinction.'

remembering a time i saw someone say under communism they would take a year off to go travel and like what kind of society are you imagining where you are freed from work obligations for a year but people flying your plane, staffing your hotel and serving you your meals are not?
as someone who has been on a lot of pro-choice forums over the years, which always attract pro lifers, the answer is that yes, they straight up never, ever think about the consequences of the laws the want to implement
retribution is good actually. a society in which it’s clear that abusing, raping, stalking, etc is likely to get you an ass beating is good actually. the problem with prisons is not that they’re punitive but that they control and structure retribution in oppressive ways.
Girls should bring up astrology on a first date.
Not because it’s an accurate measure of compatibility, but because it self-identifies men who are arrogant, condescending, and incapable of entertaining opinions they disagree with.
it’s pretty insane how this conversation always revolves around men and their feelings and now how it might affect girls growing up with a good amount of their peers apparently believing they’re inherently inferior because of their gender
NEW: an ideological divide is emerging between young men and women in many countries around the world.
I think this one of the most important social trends unfolding today, and provides the answer to several puzzles.
genuinely believe tiktok is an evil that must be defeated, my friend was telling me about how her friend is so consumed about “safety” she’s doing all those tiktok safety tips thing in hotel rooms in saratoga, new york, like that seems….really bad
if you approach anything about “male loneliness” you need to explain why you don’t think women can feel alienated and lonely by society too and yet don’t fall down far right pipe lines generally
why are supposed leftist people saying native people would senselessly genocide american civilians given the chance and don’t see how thats super fucking racist?
Refusing to serve in a genocidal army but still occupying land … Nothing heroic about this. How about he packs his shit and goes back to his original country?
the way “medieval peasants had better lives than 21st century people with office jobs” has taken off among certain leftists is absolutely surreal and totally, totally incorrect
@KFILE
I have two teenage boys! Two bloomin' onions, a steak salad, lobster tails, a filet, a chicken sandwich and a sirloin + tip + tax = $125 on Doordash right now. It's crazy.
i don't get rich failsons who cook their brains on conspiracy theories, if i had been lucky enough to be a kennedy fail daughter i'd get 10 useless college degrees from the ivies and live in a west village apartment and do absolutely nothing
they have this very childish view of the world that every woman who seeks out an abortion is under some kind of influence by evil abortion doctors and of course just wants to be a mom, and once abortion is illegal every woman with an unwanted pregnancy will realize it too
i remember trying to get them to say whether or not they supported imprisoning women who got abortions as under what they wanted it would make them criminals and they would just refuse to answer it
actually the most evil part of gamey throney is when sansa is literally screaming for her daddy
this is yoren to arya: look at me
and sansa saying: stop! daddy
i don't kno a single woman who hasn't dealt with being lonely, unrequited love, body image issues or depression because of those things and the general way that is treated is as a big joke so forgive me if i don't care about incel virgin losers
which of course leads to what you see now with these very shaky laws about when an abortion is okay to preform which leads to most doctors, rightly afraid of what's going to happen if they preform one
it doesn’t matter stephen king is rich an of course could pay $8 a month he thinks that’s stupid so it’s not worth $8 and elon musk simply does not get his incredibly obvious that it so everyone else
Henry Kissinger, Amerikaans diplomaat en staatsman, is dood. Als ROOD vieren wij deze dag. Kissinger was één van de grootste oorlogscriminelen van de 20ste eeuw. Socialisten kunnen niet onverschillig staan tegenover de misdaden van deze massamoordenaar. (1/12)
various versions of this has been going on since i was a teenager and the onus has always been on women needing to Do Something while they get murdered by class mates for not wanting to go to a dance
at some point people are going to have to accept right wing lunatics are a disturbing amount of the population and it's not just because someone isn't being left wing enough on the campaign trail, you'd think people would learn that after what happened in 2019
i don’t want to make light over safety concerns while traveling as a woman, but this stuff just seems to totally destroy your ability to adequately asses when that is a valid concern and just steals travel opportunities for you as a consequence
it is kind of wild how biden won't attend a oronation of a british king, a totally acceptable diplomatic move and the british press responded by leveling some truly antiquated anti-irish racism at him and they wonder why we don't like you
i guess you can want this, it's def an ugly urge that pops up in people, however like 99% of people in the world do not want this so that's probably going to be hard for you
all the women who spoke out during me too were put back in their place harshly, andrew tate is one of the most influential men in the world, what exactly needs to happen for people to recognize women are all affected by this shit? i don’t care about how men feel
This doesn’t mean you can’t dislike some aspects about the English and Welsh justice system (I mentioned many) but you must acknowledge the rules as they are now and what we are bound by instead what it could/should be.
Different legal systems are… different, who'd've guessed.
what kind of message is killing cersei sending? so you're saying i can't blow up my enemies, wearing haute couture and drink red wine while smirking out of my palace? how will i explain this to my daughter one day?
republicans are like if you have an abortion you're a murderer how could you end a life when we needed it to work a graveyard shift while working with caustic chemicals?
thinking about this year's stupid discourse again but the "walkable cities are ableist" sticks out to me because like there are many, many disabilities out there that literally prevent u from driving like....legally
like i think it actually might make you more vulnerable to a dangerous situation because your natural ability to pick up on Something Amiss is complete shattered
@nikicaga
basically every society figured out there had to be some kind of neutral authority or middle ground solution and they couldn't just mindlessly kill each other over everything
one of the things about this period of history is i think modern people have a really hard time wrapping their heads around the fact that witchcraft was a very real, terrifying threat to people in colonial massachusetts and eggers takes that belie seriously
Just watched Robert Eggers’s The Witch for the umpteenth time, and feeling more impressed than ever by how skilfully he makes the idea of witchcraft seem plausible, likely even, as god- and devil-fearing 17C folk are gradually overwhelmed by anxiety, conflict and domestic chaos.
