Marc: Sunny day, huh? Maybe I'd hit the lake for a while today.
...
After 15 minutes near the lake.

Marc: Steven, I hear you mumbling hello to random fishes one more time and I'll go khonshu on the lake.

I loved you, I did;
But I'm yet to see if it was my mistake and sin
@erendeer I'm glad people are saying it more. Growing up, it was hard to choose what opinions and ideas to support and rally after until I learnt to think and analyse. I used to think that the actual idea of feminism is about fighting for women's right, it changed when I learnt we're all allowed to expand our ideals rather than be limited by what the majority stands for. Now, my feminism stands for rights for everyone, an existence for everyone where they don't have some basic facilities because it's not normative behaviour- be it Trans-men's reproductive rights, women's rights for bodily autonomy, men's rights to an openly emotional existence; hell I'm up for anybody's right to a fundamentally humane existence.
Something I've observed is that bold challanges regarding rights related to gender make people react.... righteously indignant. And being threatened by the word 'rights' is the prime reason. 'Rights' provide personal choices to people, choices that allow them self expression; but 'Rights' aren't seen as such, not always.
I'm not a conservative, never have been. So I wasn't scared of 'rights' ever, but I will admit rights and men in the same sentence did scare me for a while, only because I was equating all men to the hardcore conservative assholes (just like many men equate all feminists to radical feminists). And giving such men more rights didn't seem safe. But I learnt how wrong I was, how many nuanced personalities men have too.
It's helpful to see people around you as humans rather than just men, women, trans or any other gender. Seeing them as humans allow us to empathize better, and be different that what we stand against.
You know what? Fuck you. I am a "men's rights activist."
I'm for trans men having gender-affirming marks on identification and paperwork and still being able to access OBGYN and pregnancy care, and contraceptives.
I'm for all men's restrooms including baby changing stations, because fathers exist and need to change their babies.
I'm for black men having a voice and being seen and heard, and not assumed to be predators for being both black and men.
I'm for fathers gaining custody of their children in the face of a court system which favors the mother, stating that a child should "never be without their mother," granting custody to even the abusive mothers while taking it away from their fathers.
I'm for boys receiving both 'boy' sex education and 'girl' sex education, so they know how periods and pregnancy actually work.
I'm for boys and men giving and receiving emotional checkups, hugs, and everything soft because boys and men both deserve softness. Boys and men deserve to express their emotions healthily. To know how to express emotions healthily.
Men deserve access to care, patience, love and kindness.

I created my first politics exam and I have to admit it was a little challenging. But I’ve been grading them and my students did really well! Otherwise, I’ve been spending a lot of time question my life and my career choice and October was, truthfully, filled with lots of tears. I’ve been having a very hard time, which is the reason I’m posting all my October content late.
We all say be brave, be proud, be assertive. But we have to understand too that merely words don't heal wounds. Those who have suffered because of this world's unacceptable discrimination can't simply stand up unless you give a hand and your call to be brave is not a helping hand. Please understand that you telling them something they already know but are unable to do makes them more embarrassed of their own trauma. They assume their struggles make them weak and thus don't talk about it to people. But we need to encourage them to believe they are strong. They don't have to be anything, they already are so much and after what misery they survived they deserve to feel victimized, sad, betrayed and hurt. It's only natural.
