fuck it, i never ever do those “reblog for X, this one really works!” posts, but this one doesn’t have any of that BS, this is just straight up wishing us good things; and then the comment doesn’t even say any of that either. Zero claims on this post, all positive vibes
May you end this week feeling ever more certain of a future you’ll love

One major misconception libfems and trans activists hold about radical feminism and gender criticism is they believe our opposition to their ideology stems from our inability to accept trans identities, nonbinary identities, any gender identity that isn’t “cis”.
In their view, we are the cis-privileged cissexist overlords who want to exterminate trans people and/or forcibly convert everyone into being “cis”, like we are, because we can’t tolerate difference and diversity. They think we only care about our “cisters” and want to force everyone into traditional gender roles. They think we believe what we believe and say what we say because we’re close-minded bigots who mindlessly hate people of other gender identities, just like racists mindlessly hate people of other races. They think blind hatred is the reason why we aren’t “inclusive” like good feminists should be.
From where they’re standing, this is a perfectly reasonable conclusion. Look at those terfs all standing over there being comfortable with their assigned gender! Look at those terfs using female pronouns and never getting misgendered and having womanhood handed to them without having to work for it! Look at those terfs posting vulva art and fetishizing vaginas, look at them loving their bodies and not feeling deep hatred toward their secondary sex characteristics! Look at those terfs with their cis privilege having no idea what it’s like to feel like you don’t belong in your body, or to feel deep inside like you’re just NOT the gender everyone says you are! Look at those terfs being evil gatekeepers and enforcing the idea that penis=man and vagina=woman because they think everyone should be cis like them!
In trans activist world, using trans activist logic, this conception of radfems is valid and internally consistent.
The problem is the basis of trans activist logic is fucked up and wrong.
You know those elementary logic puzzles that go “If some smeerps are blorgnorts and all blorgnorts are priptaps, all smeerps are priptaps. True or false?” - just because something is internally consistent within its own rules doesn’t mean it has any value or any connection to reality at all.
The reality is not that we’re all happy “cis” women enjoying our “cis” privilege and hating trans people just because they’re not like us. The reality is we REJECT the entire artificial narrative that leads to classifications like “cis” and “trans” in the first place. We call ourselves “she” not because we feel like women deep inside our souls, but because of the biological FACT of our bodies. Some of us suffer from severe dysphoria, some of us identified as trans and thought we were men for years, and NONE of us are comfortable being forced into the female gender. But we understand that how we feel about “she” doesn’t change the fact that that’s what we are. None of us chose our pronouns. Our pronouns just…are.
And when we tell them we don’t hate trans people, we hate gender, they take it as an attack on their personal identities and their very sense of self. When we tell them sex and gender are different things, they say biological sex doesn’t exist. When we ask them not to call us “cis”, they’re baffled because in their minds there’s cis, there’s trans, and there are the various flavors of nonbinary, and that encompasses the totality of the spectrum of gender identity, and everyone HAS to have a gender identity because it’s Just! So! Important!! in their world. How could anyone not define and treasure their individual gender identity? It’s what makes you who you are! And they just can’t wrap their heads around the idea that we reject gender altogether. A genderist’s thought process goes: those AFAB terfs say they’re women, they aren’t trans because they don’t use “he/him” and they’re not nonbinary because they don’t use “they/them/ze/hir”, so what could they POSSIBLY be besides cis? Why are they asking me not to call them what they are? Oh, I get it, it must be a trick to deny their cis privilege so they can keep enforcing cis supremacy and oppressing trans people!
It’s a very simplistic and primitive worldview. You won’t follow the rules and respect the demarcations of my inclusive and diverse gender spectrum? It must be because you’re cissexist and bigoted and hate trans people. There can’t be any other reason. You’re just jealous because transwomen are prettier than you!
The trans cult is SO invested in the gender story and the immense importance of gender and identity politics that to them it’s just not possible for anyone to think any differently. The very premise of their ideology is false, but that’s the framework from which they interpret everything, including the beliefs and motivations of the evil gatekeeper terfs. They box themselves in with their beautiful unique identities and they literally CANNOT conceive of anything outside their own false axioms. Because to them, gender is a universal truth. The idea of not believing in gender isn’t heresy or blasphemy, it just…doesn’t…make…sense. Might as well not believe in bananas or bears or gravity.
It’s like religious people who insist atheists and agnostics (or even people from other religions) must hate god because they’ve been corrupted by the devil, and the only reason someone wouldn’t follow YOUR dogma and worship YOUR god…is because they’re under the influence of YOUR devil, YOUR dogma’s particular conception of evil.
Their little brains can’t handle the idea that god isn’t real and neither is the devil. And neither, for that matter, is gender.

Older women are to blame when the bad things they predicted come to pass because they have made objecting to the bad things look like something only a mean, purse-lipped, sex-hating older woman would do.
-- Victoria Smith, Hags: The Demonisation of Middle-Aged Women
they demonize older women because we’re the ones with enough information to have superior pattern recognition, and they don’t want their patterns recognized
They demonize older women to ensure younger women don’t seek solidarity with them, so each generation doesn’t have the information to develop pattern recognition as quickly.
speechless. don't become a parent if you're gonna control your children in such creepy ways.
my dad is just like this. one time he said he would shave his own armpits, saying like “if i even go this far, would you shave yours too?”. also one time i was taking a nap on a hammock and woke up with itching on my legs. when i opened my eyes, i saw my dad shaving my legs in my sleep. 🙂 so i figured out why i had been feeling like i was having less hair back when it happened, i was like “oh so thats whats up” but im still really upset about it.
he SHAVED your legs while you were sleeping? you should be still upset about it, thats a huge invasion of your body and agency.
Exhibit 393
That’s...really fucking creepy.
my initial reaction to this post: “holy shit that’s AWFUL. guess i’m lucky my father only ever makes the obligatory annual ‘will you shave? please shave haha’ comment, but then leaves it alone when i don’t”
...followed by the realisation that he shouldn’t be doing that shit either.
i have experienced yet another case of “horrible men paving the way for and enabling mediocre not-as-awful men”
It has come to my attention that this is TERF post. Just putting it out there so no one else reblogs. Or it's probably already out there, I just didn't check.
Literally no one gives a shit. Imagine completely derailing a post about misogyny just to virtue signal. Shut up lmao
today i'm fighting gender roles by having anger issues that you could only find in particularly high-testosterone baboons
this genuinely breaks my heart
It’s so dystopian. Like if it was in a book, people would say you were being heavy handed and unrealistic.
And people act like women’s rights aren’t an issue anymore.
this is the mindset i wish for all heterosexual and bisexual women
ewewewewewEW fucking IMAGINE if I said this about a woman. As a matter of fact, people DO talk about women like this and it's considered extremely offensive. Women who act like this are the female version of "alpha-male-incel-I-kin-the-Joker" guys and they make other women look bad.
"imagine if I said the about a woman" actually men say much worse about women. Yesterday I saw a news story about a European woman who had gone to India to cure her depression and she was gang raped and murdered. Most of the comments were men making fun and saying she deserved it. One comment that had many likes said "must not fap" the man was joking about how he couldn't stop himself from masterbating to a woman who was raped and murdered. Other men commented saying this comment "won the Internet"
This is the normal stuff women have to deal with when opening the Internet for a few seconds. And yet you guys will have a literal meltdown because a woman said your personality was dogshite. You are just proving her right and you are actually so weak and pathetic for not being able to take that.
They dont make other women look bad either. I'm proud to be a woman when i see a woman like this with honesty and integrity who doesn't take shit from men.
“women are allowed to show their emotions and men aren’t” as if women weren’t lobotomised for our emotions. as if amber heard wasn’t called a snake for crying while explaining the ways she was horrifically abused physically, sexually and emotionally. as if women arent told we’re being dramatic 24/7. as if women aren’t called sensitive when we call out your misogynistic ‘jokes’. fuck off.
I’m screaming at redditors not being able to understand hey girl I mean they
i had to see this now you have to as well. sorry
Oh my god WHY
Where did she even pull the "hijab is to prevent men from developing feelings" from? This is nowhere in the Qur'an or the Sunnah, the only clear purpose of the hijab that's outlined directly is that it is a marker of distinction of Muslim women from non-Muslim women. It was necessary in the prophetic times because Madinah had a lot of sex workers and men were harassing Muslim women with demands for sex.
He has sex workers? Be serious
This isn’t even accurate. Hijab was ✨revealed✨to Mohammed when one of his friends creeped on one of his wives while she was peeing (or pooping. Wasn’t clear) and told Mohammed to reign in his women bc they’re going around arousing men. Lo and behold, almost immediately, verses about modesty and hijab started appearing.
This is severely paraphrased but you get my point.
Oh and it was only after this whole debacle when men started complaining that they would no longer be able to grope slave women at slave markets that ENSLAVED (not non-Muslim) women were PROHIBITED from modest wear and hijab. Yes, even enslaved Muslim women. Prostitution wasn’t a factor, sex slaves were.
This goes all the way back to the ancient Sumerians. Veiled women belonged to a male Sumerian. Unveiled women were sex slaves available to the public.
Over time, this came to mean that head coverings were associated with modesty and sexual purity. All Mohamed did was put God’s stamp of approval on an old practice.
Men don’t, and never have, been so aroused by hair that they are overwhelmed with lust.
What men want and have always wanted is two classes of women. One that is kept “pure” so he can be sure his ego is stroked and his offspring is definitely his; and the other is a class of women that are always available for sex whenever he likes.
For 6 THOUSAND YEARS men have done their best to order society this way. And in every civilization there has been a way to signal which type of woman you are. What makes men angry is not being able to immediately identify which woman is which kind. THAT is the purpose of hijab and all other similar markings.
And so men fly into a rage when women resist this social order. It’s why even now in the “progressive” west you will see men say “well if you don’t want to be treated as a whore why are you dressed like one?”
such a good summary of takes
as fed up as i am and ever will be with men's actions, i refuse to go down the rabbit hole that they are biologically evil. like, come on. you know that cant be true. we're the same species; all humans are capable of "evil" but it's men who are allowed to externalize it because they hold power in sexist systems ("power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely"). i hate people getting worked up over misandry and "man hating" because women have the right to get angry + critical, and saying men are being "evil by choice" sucks, but i also think it's important to point out.
"I came here today because I don't believe that rape is inevitable or natural. If I did, I would have no reason to be here. If I did, my political practice would be different than it is. Have you ever wondered why we are not just in armed combat against you? It's not because there's a shortage of kitchen knives in this country. It is because we believe in your humanity, against all the evidence." Andrea Dworkin, 1983
