Mayochup definitely has “chup” on the back of his men’s softball league tshirt.
Friends call him the chupster and don’t understand his unlikely partnership with Kranch, who’s really more of an academic but does what he can to fit in. In truth, although he is poor at softball and rarely receives a return high five, Kranch is glad to have a partner like chup,
who is oblivious to his very obvious schemes.
Thousand island is a strip club where their source, Honey Dijon, a sex worker with a heart of gold, passes them her info in a gravel parking lot out back.
Kranch pictured here with chup’s whole family. He is called uncle Kranch by the chup children, which makes his double life and betrayal of the force even more shocking.

Attributing value to your own beauty based on your personal value system is what we typically call vanity (though the concept is itself intended to gatekeep the assignment of value); understanding that men assign value to women based on beauty is just being a woman in patriarchy.
...and before anyone accurately points out that women often assign value and police one another based on patriarchal standards of beauty, note that, as I have said before, reading the meter is not the same as controlling the measurement.
Living in accordance with standards you do not control is part of existing in society writ large. Every person has the obligation to work toward changing unfair standards but not every person has the same opportunity to do so. When it comes to internalized misogyny and...
Virtually every woman I know has been harassed or assaulted by a man. Just because no one does anything about it and we go on with our lives doesn’t mean its rare, or that our fear is unjustified, it means some of us are “vitriolic” and some of us say nothing as a way to survive.
Good question. No true Scotsman refers to any attempt to define a generalization by excluding a counterexample. Feminism is a social and political movement for gender equity - if you advocate for ideas that are antithetical to that goal, you are, definitionally, not a feminist.
The rub, of course, is understanding why anti-trans rhetoric is antithetical to gender equity. There are lots of reasons, but perhaps most uncomplicated among them is that enforcing a gender binary is literally the foundational tool of patriarchy. Separate but equal doesn’t work.
The idea is that gender *shouldn’t be a consideration* when we define the societal value of a person, what rights they’re entitled to, and whether they are entitled to the same protections.
TERFs argue that protecting trans rights infringes on women’s rights, but —
I think men have very, very few hardships because they are men that are not caused, celebrated, defended, and/or perpetuated by other men, because they are men.
More men are murdered! Yes. By other men (and not usually for being men)
Men do more dangerous jobs! Yes, they also systematically exclude women from those roles, and the companies, (owned by men) lobby against workplace safety regs because money and not pussies or whatever
Men work more hours! No. *Paid* hours. Women work more hours, whether they perform some of them for a wage or not, and men are more likely to do full time wage work because parenting is for girls and its easier to breadwin when you're paid 20-45% more for showing up with a dick.
