Show me A SINGLE CASE from the last twenty-or-so years where so-called "sex positivity" has been of actual benefit to women and not just a tool men could use to legitimize their continued oppression of us. I'll gladly wait.

It took less than 20 years of widespread porn consumption to reframe completely how sex should be. Less than 20 years to groom women (and girls) into believing that their role in the bedroom is to be the means to a fulfilled fetish, that it’s in their duty to be strangled, slapped, spanked, tied, and hurt, and to do all without complaint.

Watching porn is normal and if you’re against your boyfriend/husband consuming material that features the sexual assault of women, you are a shrill, prudish woman who is actually abusing her boyfriend/husband by being too controlling.

Historical revisonism calls it “feminism,” refuses to connect the dots between what is happening now and what happened in the 70s, when feminist movements became harder to ignore and men reacted by pushing for the production of violent pornography. Actual feminism sees it for what it is: a calculated attack against female personhood, dignity, and boundaries.

I get a lot of backlash in leftist spaces for saying I think Islam is worse than Christianity. Even the most strongly religious Christian countries/governments do not force their women to cover from head to toe and never speak in public. I don’t believe any Christian nations have the death penalty for homosexuality either. And religious violence is more rampant in Islam than other faiths.

I do not care for Christianity either, or any religion, and I believe all religions are inherently oppressive to some degree. Christian history is full of terrible, reprehensible things, but, in modern times anyway, Islam is objectively more extreme.

I do not understand why Islam is so coddled by so-called progressive leftists.

I feel sorry for any tomboys or gender non conforming girls and young women growing up today, especially the lesbians and bisexuals. YOU are not NB or genderfluid because you sometimes like to wear girly shit of wear makeup lmaoo, like why are we regressing and telling young people that their presentation actually does define their “gender identity”?? They want to be called and referred to anything but a girl or woman, and there’s no other way to spin that as not being inherently misogynistic and rooted in some homophobia. I’m tired, you’re just autistic and don’t conform to femininity , but that doesn’t make you a third category outside of men and women. Being a girl or woman isn’t shameful or a bad thing, but all these young women and girls are being taught and told that.

In a patriarchal society, it's no surprise that the idea of feminism that got popular was that your submission, pain, compliance and degradation as a woman can be empowering

[latinaradfem]

there’s a difference between men calling women “females” in a derogatory way vs women calling themselves female for scientific and medical purposes. the patriarchy has really convinced people that women are inferior for being female so now women are getting attacked for simply stating a biological fact about ourselves.

"If a 10 year old girl can be forced to give birth, then a 10 year old boy should be forced to pay child support!"

Although I agree, it is important to remember that it usually isn't little boys getting little girls pregnant. It's men. Grown men. Adults. Why are we forgetting this?

common oppression of women from all patriarchal religions:

male deity instead of female

origin story demonizes a female sin for which all women now have to be punished

achivements, creation and labour done by women discredited from them instead credited to a male deity

women regarded as second class citizens, incapable of religious leadership, decision making or being independent from a male

women put into the role of servitude/follower/helper/owned by husband

women instructed to act submissive to m*n

women instructed to center m*n in their life instead of their personal happiness/career/independence/safety

inexperience in sex depicted as desirable or even necessary trait in women while disregarded for males

women heavily encouraged to marry despite the rates of domestic violence and abuse

women instructed their place is at home to be mothers, caretakers, servants, cooks, cleaners, all in one workers, while never expecting payment, putting them at double risk of isolation and financial abuse

women being told to follow their husband's 'leadership' but still blamed for his every action of harm, infidelity, assault, violence, abuse etc

women encouraged to have as many children as possible despite their own well being put at risk

women encouraged to accept marital rape as normal

women and female children scrutinized for their appearance, with assumption of sexual provocation

women shamed, held responsible and punished for m*n looking at them sexually

women pushed into life-changing measures to evade sexualization and assault (covering up, dressing modestly, undergarments) but still blamed if m*n do it anyway

women told they 'control' m*n with their appearance/body even when those m*n are attacking and harming them

women heavily scrutinized for any sexual desire or behaviour while m*n are told it's natural and women's fault anyway

women responsible for any kind of sexual harassment, objectification or assault done by m*n

protection and enabling of male sexual predators to the point of it being commonly known most pedophiles are high up in the church, some religions forcing victims to marry their rapists

heavily religious comnunities having the highest rate of childhood sexual abuse and refusing to stop or report it

gay, lesbian and bisexual people deemed 'unnatural', 'sick', 'wrong' and subjected to abuse that leads them into hiding or suicide

pressing gay/lesbian people to try to be attracted to the opposite sex and even marry into it, ensuring suffering to both spouses

the movement of feminism villinized and blamed for everything percieved to be wrong (women wanting agency, human rights and protection from abuse)

sacrifice and obedience promoted as the ideal female act of dedication while m*n are encouraged to get what they want from women

deep seated victim blaming when the religion doesn't seem to work out (you didn't believe enough, didn't pray enough, weren't righteous enough, weren't patient enough, don't understand that god works in mysterious ways)(all the ways end up oppressing women, mysteriously)

we can't even say the word "rape" on most social media platforms but minors can watch it online without any barriers

Every time I talk about how much I hate men it’s instantly “not all men” but as soon as I tell them to stop watching porn it’s “all men do it”. Isn’t that weird?
