The stories of women in my family who were forced into lives they didn’t want and didn’t utilize their passions breaks my heart. My grandma wanted to be a journalist and write about the injustices she saw inflicted on disabled ppl while she was volunteering at a state run institution as a teen. Her father decided that she was “too fat and stupid” for college and forced her to get married at 17 or else he’d make her homeless. As a kid she told me that she wished people believed that she had meaningful opinions on events around her. One of my great grandmothers wanted to be an artist but was pressured into marrying a man who beat her. She stayed up late each night when her children were in bed writing poetry and pasting it over elaborate collages she mad herself. We still have stacks of these notebooks she created but was never allowed to do anything with. My mother wanted to be an operatic singer and was considered a musical prodigy in her town because she taught herself three seperate instruments by 13. When she was 18 she met my then 30 year old father who emotionally manipulated her into giving up her dreams to start a family with him. As a kid I would hear her up at night playing the violin or doing vocal exercises until she became too depressed to practice anymore. Like idk y’all there’s a quiet type of violence in the way women’s talents are devalued and brushed aside in favor of bullying them into “traditional” roles that ultimately don’t fulfill what they wanted for their lives. We’ve lost so much art, music, writing, science, and happiness to misogyny.
it really grinds my gears how we all say humans destroyed the planet when it’s really men who destroyed the planet
men are really like shut up bitch if i don’t yeet fifty billion years worth of carbon into the atmosphere in the next twenty minutes my dick will fall clean off and I won’t get my next billion dollars (that i will never live long enough to spend). have fun drowning in melted sea ice while i live out the rest of my years having geriatric coke orgies on the moon

“The mum-of-one was discovered wearing just a black skirt which was pulled up to her waist in a pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs.
She had suffered over 40 injuries – including blunt-force trauma to her head, buttocks and breast – and horrific internal injuries inflicted during a bizarre sex game involving a bottle of carpet cleaner.
On Monday, Broadhurst was caged for three years and eight months after dramatically changing his plea to guilty four weeks into his trial at Birmingham Crown Court last week.”
Every single one of you who preaches “sex positivity” is responsible for the fact that this literal demon got less than FOUR YEARS for this. Every single one of you. Beat, rape, humiliate, even murder a woman and it’s kosher.. because she clearly wanted it. This woman obviously wanted to be viciously raped and beaten and then die slumped at the bottom of the stairs, leaving her daughter without a mother. Obviously. You fucking BDSM freaks are setting a precedent for men to brutalise women even further and get away with it. How the FUCK is this manslaughter when he willingly and consciously and deliberately murdered her. She must have been pleading with him (if she could even talk at all) and he just left her there to die, whilst he slept like a baby. “Dead as a doughnut” is how he described her when he finally woke up and called 999.
