Iran has the second highest rate of gender reassignment surgeries in the world, behind Thailand. Iran’s government subsidizes surgeries and medical interventions that allow people to live as the other gender. This is usually done because the person is homosexual, which is punishable by death and beatings in Iran. However, if one changes their gender, they are able to love who they want, but at great personal cost of infertility, and painful surgeries that may result in limited or diminished sexual function.
about 500-1000 executions take place in Iran per year. no one knows just how many of those people are just innocent gay people.
i don’t want to achieve equality by sinking to men’s level, i want them to get on ours! why should i have to unlearn the conversational art of waiting my turn, unlearn sexual self-restraint, unlearn trust in others’ good intentions, unlearn the impulse to cater to others’ needs, just to have a chance at success among savages? why can’t the men learn some fucking manners so we can all conduct our affairs in a civilized manner? i shouldn’t have to stop saying sorry, you say sorry!
In the 80s when I was in my freshman year in college, they still had entirely separate mens and women’s dorms. I was in class waiting for a final to start and one of the guys was telling someone about how he had had to go into a women’s dorm to drop something off, and he was startled to see posters on the walls, flowers, curtains, etc. He said his men’s dorm had holes in the walls, things on fire, fights, guys walking around with open wounds and he just didn’t understand why they had to live like this. He said, “I want to live with the women, in civilization.”
Am reading Sisterhood of Spies, about women working for the OSS during WWII. One of the stories mentions that the women in London had a male visitor who would eat in their mess hall once a month. He was married and wasn’t interested in hitting on any of the women; he just wanted to eat in an atmosphere where people said “Please pass the butter,” instead of “PASS THE GODDAMNED GREASE”
I dated a guy who brought me along on group activities (movies, video game night, etc.) with four or five other male friends. Once I mentioned to one of the other guys that I hoped I wasn’t intruding on their “guy time” or some such. He got this sort of rueful look and said, “The truth is, I really like it when you’re here because it gives us a reason to act better. When it’s just guys, we all have to try to outdo each other with how vile we are.”
So the moral of these stories are men don’t even treat each other like human beings.
elon musk paid cold hard cash to twitter to ban people for making fun of him. thats so fucking pathetic. elon has faced a constant stream of self-inflicted embarrassment ever since he started dating grimes. i dont even know who grimes is. i just know that if you put their names together its musk grimes which sounds like the name of a muppet that lives in a dumpster.
