Thank you, FFB, for bringing these philosophical insights to YouTube and, really, to the internet in general. What resonated with me in this video was when you spoke of finally learning the vocabulary of a concept in order to fully participate in discourse surrounding it. When I first started watching your channel (my boyfriend actually introduced me to it) I was nearing the end of an elective Feminist Philosophy course. As a linguistics major with no background in philosophy I quickly found myself in over my head. I knew what I felt, and it was pretty much an overload of new vocabulary and concepts that I was trying to assign to the information that I knew but didn’t have words for. It was just— a lot lot. During this time I had just submitted a final paper. Shortly after I submitted this paper I saw your video “The TRAD WIVES of TikTok”. You stated what I was trying to say but lacked the vocabulary to, to a-fucking-T. It was/ is so encouraging and inspiring and enlightening and refreshing to watch that video as well as all of your content. And to see MY experience realistically represented for the first time, especially in Man vs. Bear debate, is just— fucking awesome of you. Please excuse my essay length comment but I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I would watch your rants daily if I could. You’re fucking awesome. Thank you.

It's alot more deep than your yt videos, more talks about philosophy, gender studies, ect would be awesome because I love your commentary and your takes on things :)

2025-12-25 22:59:22 +0000 UTCI did some research on Freud for my psychology class and found that him and his mother were enmeshed. To put this into simple terms, she is a TikTok boy mom and Freud was a momma’s boy. Fun learn…

2025-11-13 05:07:35 +0000 UTCSo interesting! I've been involved in the drag scene for about 30 years and I've always seen it as a radical act. That the so-called 'hard line' between the 'male/female' 'masc/fem' can actually be just a veil of illusion made of appearance and performance - even from the jump this challenges the very foundation of our very binary laws. I wonder sometimes if this is really the core of why it rubs people the wrong way... so much effort societally goes into reinforcing those roles in every way. How can it be OK for people to thumb their noses at the rules and expect to be considered legitimate, embraced - or even celebrated? Idk... I like leaning into the idea of the 'doing' rather than the 'being'. We all perform something every waking moment. There are billions of us on this planet. It's kind of wild to think we should all just be happy to submit to fitting into one of the only 2 boxes on offer.

2025-10-22 02:26:18 +0000 UTCSo I identify as being a femme lesbian, which is almost like the whole chai tea thing but you get me. Even among queer spaces there tends to be this sort of expectation that femmes have to like really adhere to the typical feminine roll or look. Like you must be wearing dresses, shave, wear makeup in some god honouring way when that is so far derived from the truth I could genuinely get mad at the misunderstanding. For me personally, on paper it sounds like I'd be the stereotype. I do wear dresses and I wear makeup but I lean into my personal style and I end up looking like some sort of alt, goth, metal head that got lost between all three. I don't shave and I'm on a speedrun to see just how much metal I could possibly shove into my face. Not to mention my hair has been borderline neon pink for like 3ish years now and bright blue before that. I don't feel like I'm doing anything groundbreaking, the way I look is just an extension of myself. It's as simple to me as the colour of the sky. I've watched others in the femme space be scrutinised for being "too masculine." Is it too masculine to just be yourself, to dress and act how you please? I do want to stress that I do agree that "stereotypical" high femme is valid but that should be something you want to do for yourself, because it's who you are. I really relate to the idea of "resisting the binary." While my presentation isn't particularly that well thought out, that is something that I do strive for. Yes I am a femme but not in the typical binary feminine way. A book I think you might enjoy is "A persistent desire: A butch femme reader" I think you might find it really interesting at least. But thank you for this, it was really interesting to hear your thoughts and I loved your rant 🖤✨️

2025-10-18 17:17:36 +0000 UTC“sex is raw and gender is cooked” sounds like a tiktok comment lmaooo I’m pausing this to sleep but this is such a fun yap sesh. i haven’t read this in a WHILE so idr exactly how it comes up, but lesbian as a gender had evolved into a really cool and chill and trans inclusive place these days!! a lot of my best buds are just d***s and I love that for them, though i totally hear you on how it can theoretically veer into the danger zone. also I’m sure u know this, but I really liked philosophy tube’s vid’s last year about nietzche they were super informative. butler really does such a mind meltingly good job putting words to such complex things !
