I find something off about the idea that it’s feminist and empowering to surrender your humanity to the machine to be more like men. You can tell we are in a sick society because basic acts like “care” and “friendship” are now equated to labor. Like taking the time to step outside yourself and ask someone how they are doing is equal to slumming it in the Amazon warehouse. 

Why do they insist on women mirroring not only the best characteristics of a man — but the worst ones too? 

If there is real value to be found, fine — but focus on that value! “I as a woman did x and I got y value out of it” Not rote mimicry, or “Men do x, so women should do x too”. These bizarre equality arguments were defeated at the ballot box.

Feminism needs its line of flight. We cannot blindly follow men straight to hell but rather we should move orthogonally to them and find a new path

Well. When that guy talks about gender, it’s in extreme generalities. He doesn’t literally mean “0 women” and in that conversation later said he knew I could probably get it. He also hates a ton about both the modern woman AND man

feminism is why i was shocked by that hegelian you mentioned. in its third or early fourth wave it was the best real world example of hegelian dialectic that i can think of. it wasnt just about women's roles but gender roles as a whole. but yeah its sad how its been warped by capitalism to now mean both genders should self-objectify and be boss bitches at the same time

Meh. I guess it could be thought of that way, but I write it off because it is hateful and exclusionary. I for one am not looking for a world without men.

all sufficiently noisy alternative lines of thought get coopted by the system


all hero’s either die young or last long enough
to be engulled and repurposed for the system, likewise with people and ideas


seems to me feminism has long been co opted by people with other intentions than women’s rights and equality lately and steered from its original raison d etre


idk tho

definitely time for fifth wave but i suspect it will be very trans exclusionary
