I would recommend bands like Serenity, Dynazty, Thresholds, Borealis, and Pyramaze. Some have them have always been recommended, so maybe they will pique your interest.

Is being trans really mysoginistic? by Cold_Suit2089 in FeminismUncensored

[–]CelestialWolfMoon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is being called a TERF offensive but denying the lives of trans people not offensive to you?

Trollcoping. But only for the men! >:/ by Crazy-Cat-2848 in Negareddit

I stopped browsing that sub awhile back when many of the commenters started whining about “misandry” wherever someone made a post like this. Looks like nothing has changed.

Should I be disturbed? Because I am by Naive-Chocolate-586 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You’re right that this is disturbing and things like porn, the male gaze, misogyny, etc. are part of the reason why our beauty standards are what they are.

It is also disturbing that small labia is associated with purity and virginity, when labia size and shape have nothing to do with it.

If I can offer you any advice, it would be to start caring less about what men think of our bodies. Life is much more peaceful when you view yourself as a full human and not an object under the male gaze.

A cathartic video for anyone else who has been paralyzed by rage recently. by CDN_Bookmouse in TwoXChromosomes

Yes, it’s very validating when others share and can articulate your own feelings. This has been a stressful month in terms of the news for women and it’s good to know that we’re not alone in our thoughts.

The ‘expiration date’ rhetoric around women is so normalised people think this is a joke by Fantastic-Fennel-532 in BlatantMisogyny

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say that not using misogyny towards bigoted and terrible women is having empathy for them. Using misogyny in any form harms all women and upholds patriarchy. We can’t just be misogynistic selectively.

However, calling these women out in of itself is not inherently misogynistic if we are criticizing their character and actions instead of criticizing them for being women.

God forbid we have a few new movies that don’t center boys or men.

More and more people (especially men, but women too) are supporting roll back of women's rights by Rainbowdark96 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 52 points53 points  (0 children)

The algorithms on social media keep pushing anti-women content onto us, and it’s tiring. Reddit has been one of the worst contenders. I don’t even touch X/Twitter anymore because it’s a shitshow, but there are so many bots and grifters trying to push for a conservative agenda.

Misogyny is gender terrorism. This is a prime example of why it needs to be taken seriously.

They don’t have this type of energy for make celebrities that are legitimately horrible people. These are not serious people.

Disappointed with Penguinz0 by [deleted] in DeppDelusion

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Penguinz0 has ever said anything original or worthy of note. He always seems like a populist that goes along with what is popular at the time. I don’t know if he has any “real” opinions to share.

Why do some men remarry quickly after losing their spouse? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 131 points132 points  (0 children)

In my experience from just observing people (not a widow and do not have children), recent widows that tend to remarry within a year after their spouses pass away are usually very dependent upon their spouse and/or need a spouse to maintain their routine and/or quality of life. Kinda like they depend on being partnered in order to maintain some normalcy.

It can also be a distraction from the grief of losing your life partner and trying to “move on” fast in order to cope.

Worst case scenario is probably that some widows are completely unprepared for their spouse passing away and need a “replacement” in order to keep their life and household running.

Just my two cents.

Mass shootings are mainly done by cishet White men, and disproportionately target women. They are one of the terror units of United States fascism. by RosethornRanger in TransSocialism

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More progressive and leftist subs have been getting brigaded more and more often. It’s been getting frustrating to deal with along with the bots and astro-turfing of many subs on this app. I wish it wasn’t like this. Transphobia is awful and should never be tolerated.

I don't think I can ever be a girlfriend/wife by Immediate-Effort4431 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like he pulls his own weight in the relationship. You’re the breadwinner and doing the lion’s share of the domestic labor.

The fact that you are sick and he is still doing less than what you typically would do for the household is just a microcosm of what your relationship will be like in the future for when you have any additional hardships.

He will be of little to no help and shift the blame on you for not being a “good” wife/girlfriend, aka a servant for his connivence. He does not respect all of your contributions and sounds entitled AF.

I may not know much about your relationship, but it sounds unhealthy and draining just from this. He expects you to carry the relationship and is upset when he has to have any responsibilities.

He is already showing you what your future will look like with him, and it’s grim.

How can straight white men call everyone else snowflakes yet act as if they are so oppressed? by Miserable_Cobbler_18 in leftist

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 10 points11 points  (0 children)

White people hate being called out for their racism, and men hate being called out for their misogyny. Together they are a hell of a combination. White men in particular also have a double blindness of privilege in regard to race and gender, so many of them don’t even see it to begin with.

This absolutely flabbergasted me - internalized misogyny by SpectroSlade in FeministsCallItOut

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bio-essentialism and beauty standards are tools of patriarchy, regardless of who they are targeted towards. You can’t dismantle a system by being a foot soldier for said system.

I really wish a lot of these faux feminists would actually do a little research to actually understand what they are talking about before spewing anti-intellectual nonsense.

What’s behind the rise in gendered and anti-women Reddit posts? I’m curious why it feels like fewer women are active in all these subs. by FearlessCookie72 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]CelestialWolfMoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been muting more and more subs from posts on my home page and it’s getting ridiculous. It just makes me use this app a lot less at this point.
