Growing up on the internet it was drilled into us to not give our real name, age, etc. only for all these social platforms to turn around and be like 😦☝️ um actually, we really need your social security number, credit card, and full government ID.
I genuinely can’t tell what any of your values or political beliefs are and I just wanted to say I respect that deeply
This is two months late, but thank you.
Progressive is all I have to say, but you knew that.
she understood me tbh
I still find it properly disgusting that the same people who say kids are being forced to transition are also the ones who forcibly have intersex children surgically and socially "fixed".
the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.
they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.
“Frances and I were considering attending a Lesbian/Feminist conference this summer, when we were notified that no boys over ten were allowed. This presented logistic as well as philosophical problems for us, and we sent the following letter: Sisters: Ten years as an interracial lesbian couple has taught us both the dangers of an oversimplified approach to the nature and solutions of any oppression, as well as the danger inherent in an incomplete vision. Our thirteen-year-old son represents as much hope for our future world as does our fifteen-year-old daughter, and we are not willing to abandon him to the killing streets of New York City while we journey west to help form a Lesbian-Feminist vision of the future world in which we can all survive and flourish.”
— Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider: “Man Child: A Black Lesbian Feminist’s Response." (This essay in particular was apparently first published in 19-fucking-79, which is how long this conversation's been going on.)
you know what at this point they're writing fanfic
imagine how hard this hits if you're stupid
have you considered that bell hooks was simply... wrong? what has bell hooks feminism achieved for women?
Emma Watson tried to be a good girl feminist with the #HeForShe "male friendly" feminism clownery years ago and what do men do today? they make memes about her wrinkled forehead on how she "hit the wall" and no one cares. its one sided
also i like how "feminism" is too loaded a term for you but not "mra"
only reason people hate trans men is because they see them as female anyway... esp the incel trans women who hate on them out of jealousy, its misogyny not misandry.. ijbol stop trying to trick women into being your little knights.
also i like how "feminism" is too loaded a term for you but not "mra"
If people tolerated misogyny from mras to the level they tolerate misandry from feminists i'd think MRA was too loaded of a term.
MRA gets a pass because they are the under dogs. there is more recognition of feminist ideals and talking points among systems of authority (HR, School policies, etc) then MRA ideals.
A single feminist (Mary Koss) was able to set the direction of rape studies for over 20 years to exclude the ~80% of male rape victims who were raped by women such that large parts of society still today think the gender breakdown of rape victims is 90:10 and not 60:40.
When MRAs get the power to do that to women you get to make that comparison.
Also people attack the MRA term as a means to dismiss ALL pro-male advocacy. If this wasn't true you wouldn't see feminism-for-men feminists getting called MRAs as a derogatorily remark all the time. Advocating for men while female wouldn't get you called a pick-me. But the ideals about MRAs are just an excuse used to shut down any and all advocacy for men.
This is why trans men have to deal with the same accusations of being misogynistic MRAs based on nothing other then they said some pro-(trans) men.
have you considered that bell hooks was simply… wrong?
I'm not qualified to properly tell you off for this remark, could you ask this of @doberbutts please.
Emma Watson tried to be a good girl feminist with the #HeForShe "male friendly" feminism clownery years ago
Cute. This was the exact kind of feminism i've spoken out against: "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." HeForShe played on chivalric ideals of men being expected to go out their way for women's benefit based on nothing more than their gender. You can not get rid of sexism by using sexism. You can not get rid of the patriarchy by using the patriarchy, you can not stamp out toxic masculinity by using toxic masculinity.
Male inclusive gender equality is about calling out chivalry as sexist against men, not just sexist against women.
Male inclusive gender equality is not saying "of course feminists know the patriarchy hurts men too" to shutdown men who try to emotionally vent or debrief about people they have met who pretend otherwise and that men have no issues and thus if they complain about anything they must be sheltered and privileged and a man child (calling men who are "too emotional" man children just reinforces the idea that men have to hide their emotions to be respected as a self actualized adult).
Male inclusive gender equality is about asking why its so normal to use the male gender to refer to something being done in a bad way. (bro gamers, dude bros, mansplain, manspread, the attempt to do the same with bernie bros because the bros reclaimed it for themselves. the "bro vote").
Male inclusive gender equality is about not getting so caught up trying to prove women had some specific and exclusive victim-hood WRT to rape that you accidentally(assuming undeserved good faith) erase 80% of male victims and set back anti-rape advocacy 10 years.
only reason people hate trans men is because they see them as female anyway
Some do, yes, and hate them for it, call them "traitors". others do and accuse them of trying to escape female oppression or gain male privilege
Tell me, which "enemy" have trans men now sided with to be called traitors?
Do you not see how it still requires misandry to work? It still requires seeing men as the enemy to view trans men as traitors to that enemy.
Others on the other hand see their masculinity as something to be feared, and will slowly find excuses to hate them for causing that fear. (Which would be solved, again, by addressing misandry and androphobia and never allowing it to fester among certain feminist circles in the 80s and 90s into what it became today)
If your idea of equality includes putting others (men) down, then it isn't equality.
Actual feminists are trans allies, and men's allies. You're a beast, bear friend who is in the woods. Keep up the good work.
“The only men in the women’s restroom were the cops,” Kalaya Morton said.
Daily reminder: Transphobia actively contributes to sexism. If you don’t fit the beauty standard and are seen as masculine in any way shape or form, you are seen as transgender and as a “problem”
I think it's incredibly important here to not overlook the fact that she is a Black woman. Transphobia, racism, and sexism overlap significantly because of the incredibly eurocentric beauty standards women are judged on.
I’ve been seeing too many terfs today so if ANY trans person can interact with this post that would be deeply appreciated.
Please save me from this hell.
we're in this together babes.
both are valid approaches to the same problem
i don’t think these are even different approaches

the thing about being nonbinary is that you really do start to forget that other people have such strict walls around what is and isn’t allowed for genders. i thought we all agreed that we made that up. could you climb out of the cave real quick and feel the sunshine for a minute.
if you think something is cringe because you don't understand it, then you are not worthy of the understanding
