If We Didn't Put So Much Pressure On Men To Be 'alpha' Stone Cold Sex Gods, We Would Get At Least One

If we didn't put so much pressure on men to be 'alpha' stone cold sex gods, we would get at least one step closer to preventing young insecure men being sucked into that manosphere shit. If we taught men that it's okay to be emotional, that their self worth isn't affected by how many women they sleep with or how dedicated they are to the 'grind', maybe then we'd see the makings of a better world. Less incels made to feel victimized by a woman's right to rejection, less young boys thinking that rejection makes them failed men. If we taught them that their self-worth isn't based on women, and that doesn't mean that 'women ain't shit', perhaps we'd see a breakthrough.

It's so frustrating that people tend to see women's rights in direct opposition to alleviating men's issues. We can do both. The patriarchy steps on men's toes too, it hurts everyone in certain ways. To abolish the patriarchy means to address women's rights and their struggles, as well as men's issues. that's a conversation that not many people are willing to have; they see 'men's issues' and instantly think 'misogynistic erasure of women's issues', and it shows.

Being sympathetic towards men doesn't mean the enabling of sexism towards women, nor does it mean ignoring how a man's actions can reenforce that sexism. you can hold men accountable without demonizing an entire gender for how they were raised in a system that aims to not only destroy women and their rights, but the men who are being dragged along by a rope thinking that's the only way for them to live. But how dare I try to make people see nuance in a nuanced issue? man bad and all that.

Hi, thanks for wanting to learn! Honestly, as a man adjacent person who lives as a man, my interest in women has never stopped feeling queer despite my relationship with manhood, and my connection with the lesbian label has not ever really gone away even as I started figuring out the specifics of my sexuality such as my place on the aroace and multi spectrums. I experience the split attraction model too, so I consider myself an aroace m-spec lesboy as well as aroace m-spec gay. Have you ever heard of 'everyone who is into me is gay'? It's like that but more 'it feels gay no matter who I'm talking about'.

I really want some m-spec gays & lesbians and turigirls and lesboys to talk to me about why they use those labels. (if you're comfortable)

I'm freshly out of a friendgroup that was anti "contradictory" labels and am trying to break that thought process.

Also because I may or may not be having a sexuality crisis but that's besides the point

hello, my name is equinox. i'm a multiply disabled intersex trans lesbian who deals with a lot of different health issues. currently, i'm dealing with a large gallstone that is stuck in my gallbladder, which has been causing a lot of pain, as well as very severe GI issues. it has been virtually impossible to stand, sit upright, or be out of the house for significant periods of time, and even sitting upright to work or use the computer has proven to be painful. i am also struggling to keep down food.

Hello, my name is Johnny. I am a disabled trans man who is currently liv… Alicia Adamson needs your support for Disabled Trans Man Needs to

thank you to everyone who takes the time to read, reblog and support- i appreciate you more than words can ever express. thank you for your generosity and kindness

me when the queer community invents another binary (it's progressive and inclusive this time guys I swear) instead of just fuckin, I don't know, ditching these wack ass binaries that do nothing but segregate us into groups of 'most oppressed' and 'less oppressed so you should shut up'

Really hate that the queer community's response to the creation of a gender trinary (girl, boy, and nonbinary, which is still not all-encompassing) was to... reinvent the binary. We just started grouping all genders into "masc/male-aligned" and "fem/female-aligned" and it's so fucking stupid. Even with the occasional allowance of "neutral/unaligned" it still maintains the binary as the standard. And then they don't let you use certain labels if you don't have the "right" gender alignment. The fuck.

YEAH. It pisses me off so much. I just want to browse queer tags without seeing nsfw but I guess some people are too GOOD to properly tag their shit. y'all... there are existing tags. Creating new ones feels like a way to dodge the filter and disrespect those of us who don't want to see sex posts in sfw tags! is it REALLY so much to ask for people to not post their ENTIRE dick and balls without proper tagging??!

I'm not entirely convinced some of these blogs are real people though, some of them feel like bot accounts or pieces of shit that steal the nsfw photos of trans women for fetish content. still fucking annoying because tags get flooded by improperly tagged nsfw. 'oh but if we tagged these things correctly we'd get mass reported or something!' an issue that needs to be resolved, but not by pulling out the ancient texts of old to make your fuckass 8 million fuckin tags that EVADE MY FILTERS I am so TIRED-

The amount of people who don't know how to tag shit properly on queer tags is INSANE. There's so much porn/nsfw on our feed because no one can just tag something 'nsfw' they have to invent some new fucking tag like 'lesbian ns/fw' or 'ns/ft.' I don't want to have to filter 50+ tags just because youre too lazy to tag properly.

always such a power move to use a flag you 'shouldn't' use, whether that be because the creator thinks your experiences are 'invalid', a group of bigots appropriated it, or people think it's cool to mock users of it. I adore the sunset lesbian flag, I adore the labrys flag, and I adore the 'toothpaste' mlm flag. These flags are symbolic of the beautiful experiences of queer people, and how we deserve to be heard, seen, and accepted. NOBODY gets to take that away from us.
