“[Four-year-olds’ can even classify different shapes, textures, and emotions (like angular, rough, and anger) as male and female. This is why the triangle-headed creatures from outer space mentioned earlier were categorized as male–all those angles. Indeed, so powerful are these metaphorical gender cues that five-year-old children will confidently declare that a spiky brown tea set and an angry-looking baby doll dressed in rough black clothing are for boys, while a smiling yellow truck adorned with hearts and a yellow hammer strewn with ribbons are for girls. This is truly remarkable, when you think about it. Heaven knows, I’ve heard enough parents openly labeling certain toys, activities, behaviors, and personality traits as being for boys or girls. In one month alone, I heard people referring to coloring in a dinosaur, playing soccer, being noisy, and wanting to press elevator buttons as boy things. But you don’t often hear a parent exclaiming, ‘No, no, Jane! Angles are for boys, not girls. Take the curved one.’ Yet even before they reach school, children can go well beyond the surface of gender associations and make inferences about nothing less than male and female inner nature itself. They also seem to learn, uncomfortably young, that females are ‘other.’ When Barbara David asked four- and five-year-old children to choose items that would show a martian what human beings were like, the girls chose a mix of female and male objects (such as guns and dolls), whereas the boys chose almost only male items.”
Destroy the idea that “sisterhood” or “support” means mindlessly cheering on every single “choice”…
Think of it like friendship. Do you enable and encourage your friends shitty behaviors, or do you call them out because you care about their well being and growth?
If you do the former, you’re a terrible friend. If you do the latter? You’re a good friend, even if your friend doesn’t immediately see it. Sisterhood is the same way.
Being supportive doesn’t mean you support everything your friends do
1. If you’re a bisexual looking to hook up with the opposite sex, have you considered going… oh, I don’t know… LITERALLY ANYWHERE ELSE?
2. If you’re a straight male hitting on women at a gay bar because “she might be bi”… Wait, why are you even at a gay bar? You don’t belong there. You’re straight.
Gay bars were created so people can freely express their same sex attraction, among other things. Let them fucking be. Respect their space.
Lesbians not being attracted to MEN is terfy now? Glad you homophobic rape apologists are not sugarcoating your conversion therapy bullshit anymore.
Whenever I see a woman being told to “respect pronouns” or else, I’m reminded of that text post that went “Sometimes people use respect to mean ‘treating someone like a human being’ and sometimes they use respect to mean ‘treating someone like an authority’. And sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say ‘If you won’t respect me I won’t respect you’ but what they mean is ‘If you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a human being.’”
Men who demand that women “respect” their female pronouns are used to being treated like an authority and so they use that double standard in their definition of respect – “Terfs don’t respect pronouns so they don’t deserve respect” means “Women won’t treat me as an authority on womanhood so I won’t treat them like human beings.”
