Also, if you're starting to realise that maths is actually pretty interesting and you were robbed by how boring high school maths classes were, you should check out Vi Hart's YouTube channel.

They're pretty great. And I kinda like their self-identification of "gender agnostic".

from the OP:

posts about how men are trash rarely, if ever, reach their target audience (straight cis allo men). instead, they hurt already marginalized groups like:

* trans men, who have to defend against the view that men are predatory and so they are predatory and that their desire to be a man is hurting women. this applies double to straight and mspec trans men
* trans women, who know that any post talking about “males” is actually about them and have to deal with being misgendered and considered predatory in real life, and have been gaslit by terfs into thinking that all men and all males are bad, so they are bad. this applies double to gay trans women
* mspec men who experience attraction to women, and unlike gay men cannot escape being considered a part of the male gaze. who are distrusted and reviled in queer and lgbtq+ spaces all the time due to being considered a threat to women and woman aligned people
* arospec men (of any orientation), who are considered extra predatory due to their lack of romantic attraction
* masc aligned nb people, who struggle with feeling like their attraction is bad due to their masculinity
* mspec women who are attracted to men, who are told by people (often but not always or solely, lesbians) that any abuse that happens to them is their own fault for having a relationship with a guy, or a consequence of being attracted to men.
* male survivors of assault, CSA, and rape, who must contend with their own feelings about their sexuality and the abuse they experienced and are especially vulnerable to the narrative that men are predatory (goes again for each marginalized group you are a part of)
* mentally ill amab people with intrusive thoughts who already struggle with feeling like they are going to hurt somebody, and are hurt when people say that men are inherently predatory; and autistic amab people who struggle with social interaction.
* men of colour, who are considered a threat to whiteness and white womanhood. this goes again if they are mentality ill/ND, mspec, arospec, or a survivor.

every post about how men are trash is punching down, not up.

I went for a job interview today.

The interviewer asked me, “What’s your biggest weakness?”

I said, “Answering the semantics of a question but ignoring the pragmatics.”

The interviewer asked, “Could you give me an example?”

I said, “Yes, I could.”

drugs, cultural appropriatiobn (lack thereof) 

the funniest story I know about cultural appropriation is a girl I went to high school with who, three acid trips in a row, saw Ganesha pushing through the wall like it was latex, and all three times she was like "No, Ganesha, thank you for thinking of me but I'm not Hindu and nope, we're not doing this," and then he left

one of these days i'm oing to try to come up with some color patterns that are more appealing than "cycle through RGB at max brightness" because everyone designing glowy things should hire a graphic designer stat and if they won't then i'll do it myself
