When I eavesdrop on TERFilosophy I always learn something new, like for instance that it's feminist to lose your shit at your son for painting his nails https://twitter.com/smolgardenghost/status/1312524694008987650 …

Like at times in the past I've let my hair grow out just because I'm fucking lazy, but I guess that's participating in the social construct of femininity now or something? What's the regulation length, can you make sure to send an email Is it okay if it's long but not styled

Wearing nail polish is like mild police harassment Women wearing nail polish is like... when some white guy antagonizes a cop in order to get yelled at? Because he's been brainwashed into getting off on it? Men wearing nail polish are... cops who yell at each other?

When my high school girlfriend pressured me into putting on nail polish with her so we could be "punk", that was a mild version of what it would be like if we were in ancient China and a woman bound a man's feet in order to be... some ancient Chinese version of "punk"?

And both things would ultimately be bad and patriarchal? My punk black fingernails were kinda sorta indirectly upholding abortion restrictions, the way the guy with the bound feet would be kinda sorta indirectly upholding the sale of women via bride-price?

You know my dad actually did fucking hit the roof over the nail polish thing It was in fact a pretty bad fight, one that seems minor in the grand scheme of things -- it wasn't the time I got my arm broken -- and yet now I think about it one that's probably deeply influenced me

Man you'd think the fact that *I had a girlfriend* would be more affirming to my masculinity than the fact my nails were painted were damaging to it You'd think he'd just be happy about that, given what I was like otherwise I certainly was at the time

y'know I didn't used to have 'to spite terves' as a reason I painted my nails but fuck yeah I'll take another reason that brings me profound joy

Hm, I’m agender, don’t like wearing dresses but do lean towards brightly colored mens clothes. I have no idea where I would fit in with these people.

I feel like abolishing the social construct of feminity means (to most people at least) that wearing dresses and make up are not innately feminine or masculine. Or that liking sports is seen as innately manly.
