My cousin’s husband abused her for years. Whenever she told people she felt unsafe in her own house, they brushed it off saying “You’re overthinking,” “Don’t ruin your marriage,” “Men are like this,” “Just adjust.” So she stayed and kept trying to make it work. One night while she was asleep, he tried to suffocate her with a pillow. She woke up and realized what he was doing, and when he saw she was awake, he beat her badly. She ended up in the hospital with serious injuries. That’s when everyone suddenly had something to say: “She should have left earlier,” “It’s her fault for staying so long.” But not one person shamed the man who did this to her. Society rarely holds men accountable, and that’s the real problem. SOCIETY DOES NOT SHAME MEN ENOUGH. She eventually recovered physically, but years of abuse had already destroyed her mentally, and she later ended up in a psychiatric asylum. Teach your daughters that ending up alone is far better than ending up in a coffin.

Are they an official Nintendo partner? As a consumer, this makes me less likely to buy Nintendo products. Please explain. Thank you.

We're at a point where there are no cheap options to retreat to and no price points that guarantee quality. Every run-down studio is $1400, every fast food meal is $17, every luxury condo has peel-n-stick tiles, every $300 pair of boots falls apart. Endless expensive mediocrity.

just my $0.02 but there is nothing discussed more on this app than women’s bodies. nothing. they are dissected, ranked, graded, and mocked daily. a man can post a random woman’s selfie and make 10k from it. women’s appearance is the central commodity of the internet. and now men are suddenly saying they "don’t care" about postpartum bodies?? be serious. it’s the most hypocritical thing i’ve read all week.
social media made women’s appearance the main currency. it’s now impossible to scroll without seeing a "perfect" woman being praised and mocked in the same breath. and of course it messes with you.
so yea, women are going to feel weird about their bodies after giving birth. and you can say "there’s nothing wrong with postpartum bodies" all you want. your actions, your jokes, your algorithms say otherwise.

They're afraid of what it will do to their bodies because men in their lives have made it abundantly clear that they expect a level of perfection that is unobtainable without surgery or superhuman genes. Pinning this on feminine vanity is insultingly reductive.

Since Keir Starmer banned puberty blockers, 15 trans children on the waiting list have lost their lives to suicide. Before his ban, only 1 did.
Keir Starmer and Wes Streeting murdered these children. Sir Keir doesn't give a flying fuck about suicidal people. He wants us dead.
Last year I met with @3dadswalking who each lost a daughter to suicide.
Hearing their stories was heartbreaking.
My government is protecting young people in school and online with better mental health support made more accessible through our Plan for Change.

People who have been justifying a genocide for two years and gleefully defending the crimes of Israel are now logging on to post things like "Violence is never justified"

If Hamas should be eliminated because it killed 1200 people, what should happen to Israel for killing 60,000-100,000?

Treating men as inherently evil implies that misogyny is intrinsic to their nature and thus condemning women to perpetual oppression and framing patriarchy as a natural aspect of humanity. Evil men CHOOSE to be evil.

The carbon footprint of the first 15 months of Israel’s war on Gaza will be greater than the annual planet-warming emissions of a hundred individual countries

"Moments ago, all charities in #Gaza were told that if we did not allow armed American mercenaries to take over all aid, and to photograph, fingerprint and take retinal scans of every single person receiving aid from us, that we can no longer receive or distribute any more aid."
