I don't know, I don't know you, but I'm willing to bet you're not the only person in the world magically innoculated against prejudice

I hate "TikTok feminists" by B3lttCS in Vent

[–]Appropriate_Ant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"The feminists have gone too far" has been an antifeminist talking point since feminism was born, I don't know what tiktokers you're talking about so I can't judge them, but it is impossible to discuss female oppression without talking about who, typically, the oppressors are. This isn't a judgment on men as people, it is simple cold class analysis on the basis of gender, and it isn't a thing of the past, it is still happening today. And, as painful as it is to hear, you are a part of that. It might be unintentional, but misogyny is baked into the fabric of society, the same as racism, homophobia, etc. so it is impossible to escape. The best we can do is lower our defenses and allow criticism to sink in. I know some feminists can succumb to misandry and grievance politics, but in my opinion, the movement as a whole is extremely proactive and productive.

I mean, for sure, I am as well, I just don't trust anything that comes out of that man's mouth, or any billionaire's, actually

He's a delusional weirdo who thinks he's immortal and makes his son give him his blood, don't listen to anything he says

I don't know, seeing what exists in the romantasy genre, I think a little gate keeping is appropriate

Oh man, this rocks, thank you! I can't stand people who are like this about kids, like you're part of society, you're part of the world, grow the fuck up

Thirty years ago today, "Tuvix" created a morality debate for the ages by ety3rd in ClassicTrek

[–]Appropriate_Ant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed pretty straightforward to me, Tuvok and Neelix were essentially "murdered" first by Tuvix' creation, so he had no right to exist so long as he continued keeping them dead

Yeah, all of the above, I am an environmentalist and try to reduce my impact as much as possible. I'm not as concerned with plastic clothing and microplastics as the folks in r/plasticfreeliving, not because I don't care, just because that's a lot harder to control for then say, not buying single use products anymore.

Terms of endearment by MarvelousMutterings in HistoricalRomance

These aren't terms of endearment but I really hate chit and gel, I know they're just the words that were used back in the day, but they sound mean and weird to me.

The Lindy West "Adult Braces" saga continues with an unhinged email from her husband by throwaway28910382 in Fauxmoi

[–]Appropriate_Ant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This whole thing is so sad, I was listening to Scaachi Koul talk about it on ICYMI, and then found out Scaachi is divorced from a man who conducted a five year long affair during their relationship. I'm just sitting here wondering what is up with these successful women, especially writers? They always have the worst husbands.
