In response to a weird post about rubber bands

1. An idea I see a lot on the Internet is that men need to be terrified of women who will harass them for existing while male. I’m huge, hairy, and socially awkward, but I only get harassed for seeming overly male when I’m on the Internet. I have no idea what to make of this.

2. This is sometimes paired with the idea that men need to be terrified of men who will beat, harass, or sexually assault them for being insufficiently masculine. I’ve read about this a lot in books, especially when the target is gay, but I’ve never actually seen it happen. Again, I have no idea what to make of this.

3. The language in use often frames women as helpless trauma victims who cannot stop themselves from harassing men for being male. This is bullshit. You may not control how you feel, but you definitely control who you harass.

A realization I’m not sure I’m comfortable with

My favored aesthetic is basically just the ‘50s with more flexible gender presentation. 

A thought on the art anthropomorphizing the polar vortex as a large-breasted woman

Anyone else remember those European fascist who were reposting images of a cute anthro Winter? They were hoping this would function as a magical ritual to make European winters colder so immigrants would freeze to death. I think they got their target wrong.
