Brief conversation between me and two ~14 year olds. I was telling the boy about the glory days of arcades, playing the original Mario bros, and how fun it was to play TMNT Turtles in time mashing buttons.

The little girl interjected into the conversation that she was not a part of, and began telling the story about how there is this one boy at her school who is OBSESSED with the Teenage mutant ninja turtles. How dumb it is, how his backpack is TMNT. How he always finds a way to put TMNT into his school projects. Something about his shoes as well.

I almost fell over. To hear a child AWALT shaming a little (most likely prepubescent, or newly pubescent) boy for having an interest and an imagination.

I was speaking to the next generation of AWALT. Just a child. Shaming men.

I can not even. I literally can not even. Feminism is cancer on this world. The west is raising emasculated boys who will bow down and serve their emotionally abusive female masters.
