An Open Letter to Gay Cisgender Men
blsq:
queerer:
While we both fall under the queer umbrella, our experiences differ greatly. Perhaps this challenges the idea of a queer umbrella to begin with—do we really have that much in common?
But that’s beside the point.
There are troublesome trends in the gay cis community that should be noted. Here’s a checklist. Gay cis dudes, spot these trends and stop it. To my followers: if you...

Newsflash:
[TRIGGER WARNING: Rape culture]
In my experience, most of the issues Men’s Rights Activists complain about are rooted in sexism against women, therefore contributing to damaging gender roles all around; it is not, however, institutional sexism against men. Such a thing does not exist.
Repeat: does not exist.
Frankly, the most exhausting thing to me about MRAs is not that they never have...

greaterandmoreterrible:
Even though it’s true, this post is not going to be about the fact that weight and health are not a direct correlation. There are many posts out there with that information and, as important as it is, there’s a different angle you take that I’d like to talk to you about.

When you use the word "womyn", you insult women.
Etymology lesson!
Once upon a time (back in the days of Old English) male humans were called weremen and female humans were called wifmen. Wereman meant “man” (this is still seen today in words like “werewolf”, which of course means “wolf man”) and wifman meant “wife of man”. The -man suffix relates to human.
Over time, the were part of wereman was dropped and men simply became men, while...

Just an FYI to the people in my inbox:
The following are not worth my time to even bother responding to:
“False wage gap”
“You’re just bitter because no one wants to fuck you, you fat bitch”
“Feminists are sexist”
“Men are the more oppressed party”
“Privilege doesn’t exist”
“Health is all well and good, but fat people who aren’t even trying to be...
