We need radical feminism to be more mainstream because yesterday I was at a gallery exhibition and I saw this (below the cut because it’s slightly graphic) image of St Agatha where she has her breasts on a plate and is holding pincers. In the story it’s said that she was imprisoned in a brothel then tortured and mutilated due to taking a vow of virginity, one of many stories in the catholic tradition of female saints suffering through extreme torture in order to remain ‘pure’ and show their faith (there’s a whole other discussion to be had here obviously).

She is considered the patron saint of rape victims and breast cancer patients due to her story, and despite my hatred of religion I can respect the fact that some catholic women might find comfort in the story of her strength.

However a group of young female gnc teenagers walked around the gallery near me and remarked that she had received ‘free top surgery’ and laughed at the image. Like it’s not that deep but also it is that deep that people can see images of torture and female mutilation and compare it to transgender surgeries! Because they are mutilating and dehabilitating and if you can compare your desired body to that of a torture victim then please critically analyse whether it’s worth it and why you’re actually doing this. Please!!!!

One out of every 8 girls will be molested by the time they are 10 years old. These are elementary aged children.

By the time she graduates high-school, that number goes up to 1 in 4.

By the time she is 40, there's a 1 in 3 chance she's been assaulted at least once.

17-25% of men have admitted to sexually assaulting a woman.

If every time you walked into a room, there was a 1 in 4 chance you were talking to a rapist who was bigger and stronger than you, how safe would you feel? How safe would you feel on dates? At night? Literally anytime you are alone? Ordering Doordash? Getting pulled over by the police?

I know that not all men are predators, but at least 1 in 4 of them are.. and the other 3 are almost certainly friends with a predator.

A woman who can't get pregnant is still a woman.

A woman born with no womb is still a woman.

A woman with a beard is still a woman.

A woman with no periods is still a woman.

A woman with high testosterone is still a woman.

A woman with an enlarged clitoris is still a woman.

A woman with ambiguous genitalia is still a woman.

A man who is infertile is not a woman. A man with no beard is not a woman. A man with a micro penis is not a woman. A man with internal tests is not a woman. A man with low testosterone is not a woman.

Biological sex is binary, but people are not, and tryibg to make them enter boxes too rigid for them is harmful. But pretending someone is less of a man or woman because they have sex variations is harmful too.

Men defaced this art wall in Melbourne of missing/murdered women.

Women are the ones being killed and brutalized, but it’s a war on men by telling them what they did.

I don’t have too much to say on this. I feel so upset.

niiwa-angel

Imagine seeing a wall full of pictures of women murdered by men and thinking it's an affront to you. Men are pathetic

femalegothic

are the women unfamiliar with rejection on the planet with us right now? where are the women who have never felt unwanted or ugly?

woman-respecter

like that one post said, anyone who has ever tried to posit the existence of male only issues really doesn’t see women as human beings with feelings

chadradfem

Bruh every day I feel unwanted and ugly, men aren’t special

For a start, studies have shown that men have a higher self esteem than women worldwide.

Secondly, men don't know what terror is. "Terror" is not what you feel when you're nervous about a woman not being interested in sleeping with you. Terror is what you feel when you're a child bride on your first night with your paedophilic husband. Terror is when your father, uncle and brothers discuss murdering you because you've "dishonored" the family. Terror is when your boyfriend puts his hand around your neck because you threatened to leave him. Terror is when a man follows you home after you refused to answer his "hello what's your name can I have your number do you live nearby?" Ironically, terror is what women often feel when they reject men.

So here we have another case of men trying to discuss human psychology but being too self involved and misogynistic to make any sense.

The cognitive dissonance men need for this!

A Common Theme, from Gentlemen: “It’s obvious girls & women get attacked all the time, they should constantly be on their guard in public, guys get women way too drunk on purpose as ‘a move’, don’t ever let a woman walk alone at night- but I personally don’t know any predatory men whatsoever.”

It’s not dissonance. Men actively benefit from a society where women are in constant fear of sexual harassment/rape. They prefer the way we are socialized because of it. And they prefer the bar being so low for ~nice guys~ to be the bare minimum of decent human beings. This type of society is more important than the safety of individual women in their life.

Full offense but if y’all think that different hormone levels *actually change your sex* then you think that female humans with PCOS are actually a little bit male. Which is ludicrous.

maslows-pyramid-scheme

And, funnily enough, women with PCOS still don't produce anywhere near as much testosterone as 'low testosterone males:'

Females with high testosterone have between 1.5 - 2 nmol/L. Females with high testosterone have an increased risk of obesity, cancer, and other health problems, which I'd take as a pretty firm indication that women shouldn't be fed the lie that changing their hormones will change their sex.

Males with DSDs can have testosterone levels as low as about 5 nmol/L - still more than double the high female rate.

Males without DSDs have between 13-20 nmol/L - at least six times the high female rate. Males with low testosterone suffer various health problems: they get lethargic when they're below 15 nmol/L, they gain weight when they're below 12 nmol/L, they suffer low mood when they're below 10 nmol/L, and they experience erectile dysfunction when they're below 8 nmol/L - all of which are still substantially higher than the high female rate!

I think it's a consequence of scientific illiteracy: they're so determined to ignore the body that they forget that they forget that ovaries and testes only produce so much of each hormone, and that increasing or reducing the level of the hormones can have very serious consequences for a person's health.

if you go knocking on enough doors asking for the devil, eventually he will answer. I've found it's an actual belief of these types of people to believe and insist that PCOS is a DSD/intersex disorder and all women with PCOS are actually intersex. if you go looking in the right corners of the internet, you'll find people who are very serious about PCOS = intersex and argue for it and make social media infographics about it.

Imagine being in one of those 50/50 marriages and you want to make a really nice dinner. You make it every night as well because your husband explains to you that you should only do what you're good at and he simply "isn't good at cooking", in return though, he will take out the trash when you remind him. Because this is a 50/50 household after all and he WANTS to pull his weight.

So you plan the dinner on your free time, then you take the shared household bank card that you both fill up with the same amount of money each month - 5% of his salary and 50% of yours because it's equal and how is it his fault that you chose a low paying job? This is 50/50!

You buy all the groceries, come home and clean up after your husband who doesn't work longer hours than you but he has explained that his job is more mentally exhausting so he will be more tired than you when he comes home. You wouldn't understand that with your physically and emotionally taxing job, you don't need that much rest. Besides, It doesn't even bother him that it's messy!

Then you prepare all the food for an hour or so, while it's in the oven you take the trash out because you've asked your husband to do it three times already and it's still there because he is simply too exhausted right now. You also load the laundry with both of your clothes, and fold the clean one because if your husband did it it would just be destroyed or never folded. You set the table, bring out the food, pour the drinks and when it's done you do the dishes because your husband simply "isn't good at doing dishes".

This is equality for men btw.

After dinner your husband sais he did a good job cooking the meal.

This is what dads who claim to have made their children sound like.

imagine being so ignorant you think that women’s right to wear pants just fell out of the sky. women fought for it. they risked their jobs, reputations, relationships, and education for the right to wear functional clothing. women have always fought for the right to simply exist in public and you vile misogynists think that it’s a sign of privilege!!!!! eat glass!!!!!!!

TW: Coersion, Marital rape

Women have also been gaslit on a mass scale to accept rape and abuse. To constantly reframe harms committed against them as care. To blame themselves for 'not saying anything.' To internalize feelings of shame for not desiring "sex" when the only "sex" they've known is rape.

This is the reality that many heterosexual women are facing- "he doesn't hit me" is the standard for care. This is precisely how men benefit from other men's (perceived) worse behavior- because the rapist could never be the husband, he's the one who "protects" from "other men."

He knew what he was doing. I hope she divorces him, gets therapy, and has a wonderful life afterward. I hope he dies.

There is no good reason to not notice your partner is suffering through the "sex". Most people are not good actors. You are looking at them. Hearing them. At the very least feeling them. You can feel when they stiffen up, or when they jerk. And they can feel when you do it. Even if they don't know that kind of carelessness counts as rape (though he certainly did, given he was the one to use the word), that's what it is.
