dr russell barkley, basically: there’s an overemphasis on inattention and hyperactivity cause yall other docs out there know theyre the most easily measured+observed but bc of ur lazy asses the very important emotional dysregulation element of adhd has been completely goddamn neglected
bc that one post about attachment to womanhood is still hurting people’s feelings, let’s keep talking about it.
radical feminist notions of gender socialization correctly frame it as a traumatizing process. a contradiction arises, in that case, when they assign positive moral traits to female socialization (and femininity by extension) because, much like society in general, they believe that an ideally traumatized woman is able to access moral high grounds that other people cannot. “i was socialized female” becomes an admission of guaranteed prosociality, a set of traits that are only ever harmful because they are at risk of exploitation via external forces.
this is why many radical feminists view trans men as safer & more politically enlightened than trans women – because of their proximity (imagined or otherwise) to femaleness, to daintiness, to softness and benevolence. “male socialization” is synonymous with antisociality, and becomes lobbied at trans women as a whole when individual trans women do things that radical feminists deem “unwomanly,” from having controversial political opinions to committing violent crime. the gender socialization model becomes a way to moralize sex assignment by prescriptively linking particular experiences of trauma to particular personality outcomes. it is no longer a theoretical framework meant to honestly and meticulously analyze how children become gendered subjects. it is now used to reproduce the very gender roles that proponents of the framework claim to be against.
“because, much like society in general, they believe that an ideally traumatized woman is able to access moral high grounds that other people cannot” absolutely kicked me in the face you are so correct
Whether or not it’s a true statement, “trauma made me a better person” is easier to accept in some ways than “trauma did nothing positive for me and should never have happened.” But if it turns into “trauma is a good thing, and we should keep inflicting it,” then something has gone very wrong.
it very easily, maybe even usually, turns into “trauma is a good thing.” i don’t know why, but i suspect it’s the reason behind misery poker/oppression olympics/several types of distorted thinking.
it’s the logical extreme of “it made me a better person,” but it is an extreme, and it probably has a lot to do with cultural notions of suffering and heroism and pain as worth.
yall love trans boys until they start T and get manly and hairy and grow a trans guy penis and get deep voices and some belly chub and get a fucked high sex drive and not some “uwu space smol bean boy” that you wanna romanticize so deeply and “protect”
whatever yeehaw
Not only is this the tea, the yeehaw is the cherry on top
salt & vinegar chips are snacks for fucking masochists. literally the entire flavour of the goddamn chip is “acetic acid, which will hurt your tongue, and then just salt on top of that to hurt it worse”. it’s brutal. this chip is designed to hurt you
some of you are acting like i hate salt and vinegar chips and i need to clarify: i do not hate them. old dutch baked salt & vinegar chips is my favourite flavour of chips and one time i ate two bags of them in two days and my tongue started bleeding. i love the goddamn things. but why did humanity make them. to what end. my tongue literally bled from eating them. the flavour of them is just acid and salt. their gimmick is pain. and yet……. Chips Good…….
That’s right folks. Unnatural hair colors means women are crazy.
Unless, just hear me out on this… it could be that some women like pretty hair colors.
Or they trying to avoid these type of idiots.
Go women with unnatural hair.
As I saw pointed out in a tweet in response to this weak analogy:
In nature, these things occur as a defence from predators.
We dye our hair wild colors so assholes like this stay far away from us lmao.
Yeah damn if that’s all it takes to get fucking mra anti-sjw shit stains like that to stay far away from me then I’m dying my hair bright blue tomorrow
You know, I’ve never felt so inclined to dye my hair an unnatural colour as when listening to this sad, unloveable gasbag’s whinging on the Internet.
