Yes, Men Can Stop Themselves - Role Reboot

Yes, Men Can Stop Themselves - Role Reboot: We’ve let entire generations of would-be men grow up into spoiled little boys who believe their pleasure surpasses in importance every other earthly concern, including their victims’ existential well-being. If any lasting good comes about thanks to America’s current administration, it won’t be because of their boundless competence or moral fortitude. It will be because …

So Far I'd Be Fine With President Pete

When I hear and see Lord Dampnut, I start swearing and have to refrain from throwing things because everything that comes out of his smarmy pie-hole is abrasive, confrontational, a bald-faced lie, and/or mind-bogglingly stupid. 

Listening to Pete Buttigieg makes me feel like I just smoked a joint.

Granted, it is necessary to analyze where each of the candidates stands on important issues and not make choices based on feelings alone.

All else aside, I can't imagine this man taking to Twitter at all hours of the day to covfefe about witch hunts and fake news while blathering about how the failing (fill in the blank) is telling lies about him, quite possibly while referring to himself in the third person.

Of course, a rabid baboon flinging poop would be preferable to Lord Dampnut. But wouldn't it be nice to have a President who presented as calm, diplomatic, and reasonably intelligent? I've almost forgotten what that's like.

Gender Critical Dad: Sometimes I Should Just Shut Up And Read.

Gender Critical Dad: Sometimes I Should Just Shut Up And Read.: From  https://giaqualia.wordpress.com/2014/07/29/female-socialisation/ It's worth going to the page for the accompanying pics. 

Who would want to be a girl when this is how girls are viewed?

Supporting gender stereotypes is not the answer.

Fighting against these archaic views of women is.

Gender Critical Dad: Faith and the Vicious God of Gender

Gender Critical Dad: Faith and the Vicious God of Gender: I have been asked if I really believe there is no such thing as a trans child.

There is a lot of important material in this piece, but this quote sums things up beautifully.

Genderism Is a Faith and It Has a Vicious God. 

Behind the glitter, rainbow, unicorns, pictures of sad-eyed children and slick PR, the god of gender ID is far from benevolent.

Mermaids CEO's Questionable Behavior

I've been TERFed for saying that Susie Green's behavior is questionable. 

The idea that believing pushing puberty blockers on children is "transphobic" is one of the reasons I went from being fully supportive of the TRA agenda to Peak Trans. 

I refuse to toe the line to any totalitarian belief system.

Medium Is Becoming a Cesspit for TRA's

I used to find Medium an interesting and useful site. A lot of the size acceptance activists post there. These are the people who helped me move from being yet another person caught in the impossible trap of trying to hate myself thin (something I haven't been able to accomplish in a lifetime of trying) to knowing that the multi-billion dollar diet industry thrives on making people hate themselves for "failing" at diets which work long-term for only approximately five percent of people. A lot of mental health writers share their work at Medium as well.

Then Medium became a pay site. One can read three articles per month for free, or pay $5 a month. $5 per month doesn't sound like a lot, but it is when you're living below the poverty level. So, three articles a month it is.

However, these days the Medium Daily Digest email is filled with pretty much nothing but TRA rhetoric, and I have made a pact with myself. Anyone flinging the term TERF around is someone not worth wasting my time on. I was tired of wading through links to TRA posts to find anything good, so I unsubscribed.

TERF is Feminazi covered in glitter. Both are terms used to silence women who don't toe the line. 

TRA's want to erase women.

I will not be erased.

The Ninja Librarian: #WEP: A Gilded Cage

The Ninja Librarian: #WEP: A Gilded Cage: Note that the rules have changed a little. Since we now have a posting window that ends on the 3rd Wednesday and we don't sign...

A lot of the time when men murder their entire families, people are shocked and comment on what a "nice guy" he was. Sometimes there is even an implication that the wife pushed him over the edge.

When women kill abusive husbands in self-defense, they are always pigeonholed as unhinged harpies. 

I really don't believe in saying that people "age poorly." We simply age. Some of us have more health problems than others. There tends to be an implication that people bring ill health on themselves. Ill health is a fault in our stars (or our DNA) and often dependent on economic circumstances. People in impoverished circumstances tend to lack access to proper nutrition and medical care.
