Radical Feminism.Cats.

Radical feminism, anti porn, gender critical. White, heterosexual. CSA survivor. Rape survivor. If you are a feminist who is at odds with the current model of liberal feminism, I am always here to talk, on anon or off. I try and engage in a mutually respectful way & am working to be an ally.

it’s easier, faster, and cheaper for men to buy sex than it is for women to get abortions

honestly the more time i spend on tumblr and especially in discourse hell, the more i appreciate the simple ass allies whose only opinion is “being gay isnt wrong” its so refreshing to remember that most people irl have no idea what 90% of all yalls made up nonsense means

Those comments - I’m a straight, I don’t need to be included. Inclusivity always being good is a weird concept to me. Sometimes things should be exclusive. Also my goodness the comments are terrifying

Of COURSE John Mulaney is the first male comedian to have a good #MeToo joke. 

[badkittyradkitty]

I fucking love John Mulaney. dudes don’t you dare tell me you can’t do a great joke about rape culture and sexual assault. Be good at your craft like he is. Easy.

And it’s ok, he doesn’t have lung cancer.

women who don‘t wear makeup are always going to be so much braver than men who do.

[terven-hooves]

For men, gender nonconformity is an action they choose. It’s something they buy, it’s an act of consumption. It’s an act of vanity, it’s something purposefully done.

For women, gender noncomformity is literally just existing. Just existing as they are. They don’t have to buy anything, they don’t have to take any action. They just have to exist in their natural state.

That’s why gender noncomformity for women will always be more radical, revolutionary and brave than gender noncomformity for men. These women dare to exist. They dare to show the world their bare, natural selves.

They are SEVERELY socially punished for it and they do it anyway. They don’t have choruses of women and gay men trailing behind them screaming “YAAAS QUEEN!”. They don’t have millions of YouTube and insta followers. There’s no glass elevator waiting to rocket them to the top of a million dollar capitalist industry. There’s no power to be gained, no capital to be gained. They can’t start their own brand of Not Shaving or No Makeup. They can’t become a CEO of Stop Curling your Hair.

They have everything to lose. They do it anyway.

[badkittyradkitty]

This is really eloquent. I struggle still so much not performing femininity. Being hairy etc. and you’re right. No one cheers me on. Guess that means men don’t like it. Do there’s that at least. 🙂

Watch: Leslie Jones gave a touching tribute to Whoopi Goldberg about why representation matters

oh my god. Imagine being Whoopi and hearing that though.

Well, when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,“ Goldberg says. “I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, ‘Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!’ I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.” - See more at: http://www.startrek.com/database_article/goldberg-whoopi#sthash.gKeuf3XI.dpuf

That’s three generations. Nichelle Nichols to Whoopi Goldberg to Leslie Jones.

God, I was hoping someone was going to tell the Nichelle inspiring Whoopi part of the story. It is literally why she did Next Gen.

[wilwheaton]

Add The Next Generation to things that Whoopi Goldberg made possible. We were going to be cancelled at the end of our first season, but Whoopi Goldberg (who was the biggest star on the planet at the time) went to the heads at Paramount and told them she wanted to be on Star Trek. So they gave us another season, specifically for her. I think about all the people who saw themselves represented on TNG over the years, and all the kids who are now scientists and engineers who were inspired by the show, and I hope that Whoopi Goldberg always gets the credit she deserves for making it possible for TNG to grow the beard.

That article where a law professor argues that battered women are morally entitled to kill their abusers has an interesting quote: “ Men can kill women with their bare hands, and they do. Women almost never kill men that way. They can’t. […] While very few women kill abusive men who are asleep or passed out, it’s “unfair” to charge them with first degree murder, Sheehy argues. “It’s not fair to characterize it as the most heinous form of murder, because it may be their own route to survival. ” There have probably been feminist analyses of this already, but it’s worth discussing how the concept of self-defence, especially in domestic violence cases, was designed by men to benefit men. In my country at least, your attack is only considered “legitimate self-defence” if it is a) necessary, b) immediate, c) proportionate. A concept of self-defence that only applies if you hurt or kill someone while they are attacking you, and if you hurt or kill them using the same weapons as them (your bare hands, if that’s what they are using) only benefits people who are likely to be attacked by people of similar size and physical strength, and is utterly useless to women.

When a bigger, stronger male beats up his much smaller wife, it’s almost impossible for her to kill him in self-defence (immediately and proportionately ie with nothing but her fists), and yet it’s the scenario through which she can hope to be acquitted or get a light sentence. That’s not a coincidence. The other two scenarios (and she will be despised if she picks either) are for her to  1) kill him later (when he can’t use his physical advantage, eg when he’s asleep or has his back turned on her), but it won’t be self-defence because it won’t be immediate. (In the Jacqueline Sauvage case, one of the main arguments against her was that she shot her husband in the back at a time when he wasn’t actively beating her up) 2) use a weapon, but it won’t be self-defence because it won’t be proportionate. Obviously this condition also benefits men, because when a woman gets punched by her husband and she punches him back, it’s seen as a proportionate response but it shouldn’t be, because her punch (typically) won’t do nearly as much damage as his. Anything else she does (like use a weapon) to try and hurt him as much as he hurt her will be considered a disproportionate response and will mean it wasn’t self-defence.

The idea that killing your abuser in a honest face-to-face fight with your bare hands is honourable and forgivable, but killing your abuser in any other way is shameful and wrong, utterly benefits men and protects men. It’s also why poison was historically reviled as a ‘female weapon’ and as the most cowardly way to kill someone. Poison has been described as “a great equalizer” - no wonder men hated it. Men have always hated, and will keep hating, shaming, and outlawing, any form of attack through which women can compensate our disadvantage in strength and size, and they will keep praising as the only valid method of self-defence, the method that presents the smallest risk of being effectively used by women against them.

Can the women out there who opt out of body hair removal reblog this? We can show people that we exist, and show others that they’re not alone. 

[gynocrattweetsandreceipts]

[notable-spinster]

when we talk about oppression, we focus on the victims in a way that erases the perpetrators. yes, sexism hurts women, but it benefits men. it’s not an accident. it’s not a natural disaster to which we are all victims, the way liberal men (and often women) will frame it. they want us to believe that sexism hurts everyone, that we’re all in this struggle together. 

but the reason that men react so violently to feminism is that we are trying to take something from them—something they have no right to, but still. the liberation of women means the loss of male power and dominance. so when antifeminists complain and call us man-hating, don’t try to tell them that feminism is about equality, that we aren’t going to take anything from them. we are, and so fucking what?

look. i don’t think my stretch marks are beautiful. i don’t think they’re tiger stripes or natural tattooos. i don’t think my acne is beautiful. i don’t think the bags under my eyes are beautiful. i just think they’re human. and i don’t think i have to be beautiful all of the time in order to be accepted and loved and sucessful. i don’t think every small detail of my outer appearence needs to be translated into prettiness.

[pro-uterus-agenda]

I love how genderists will compare sex-segregated spaces to racial segregation but as soon as you compare transgenderism to transracialism, it’s all of a sudden “NOT THE SAME THING!!!” Like, you don’t get to use that comparison when it suits your narrative and then reject it when it doesn’t.
