Smut is more scandalous when it's women consuming it, due to the moral standards of purity that want women as sexual objects but disdain them as sexual subject, they mustn't desire but be desirable.
This, paired with the fact that content aimed at women (and especially teenagers or young adults) is always seen as lesser both in quality and value, and the increasingly blurred distinction between fiction and reality make booktok, especially the part talking about "dark romance", a big target for misogyny.

Related note: The perspective that there's absolutely nothing wrong with reading things that are low quality, even things that are "trashy," and the perspective that it's really, REALLY in your best interest to read things that challenge you absolutely can co-exist as well.

Don't forget to mask up.
No face? No case.

report from a librarian

There's a research study out there called AYAGDOS, lead, amongst others, by Lisa Littman, who wants to study rapid onset gender dysphoria via social failure, and is trying to make data fit that fucked up theory by purposefully misrepresenting the people who partake in her studies.

Lisa is also on the advisory board on Genspect, a fully serious anti-trans org that operates within the EU and works closely with the medical systems wherever they're let in to push anti trans science.

They're actively recruiting for their study on sites like Reddit, targeting demographics who frequent trans subs.

whatever you do, do not participate in trans social studies without doing your research on the people leading the study, they're incredibly good at covering their tracks and will misuse your input to further a false narrative against trans people.
If you want to see just how bad it is, look up Genspect, you'll find ties to Turning Point, trans social rejection propaganda, gender ideology broadly being painted as deliberately inciting violence, detrans agenda pushing

happy tenth anniversary of "Please clap" to those who celebrate

With the complicity of Democrat politicians who truly don't care if you live or die, the fascists who control the federal government are trying to rebrand ICE as a kinder, gentler Gestapo.

Body cams will make no one safer. The mercenary who murdered Renee Good was filming when he shot her.

The purpose of ICE is to terrorize the general population and impose a totalitarian regime through ethnic cleansing. Reforms and compromises are underhanded attempts to pacify us while they advance further down the road to fascism. There is only one solution.

ABOLISH ICE! 🏴

Had a dream where half the population couldn't read so people started printing pirated board books of phonetics for them.

Meanwhile the Twitter libs were like "uhm. I get that illiteracy is bad but dont u know stealing is wrong?"

Which band is this? I can swear I've heard them before
