Women and Theory

— Letters From a Warzone

She knew.

[floatingbook]

Letters From a Warzone was published in 1993.

[wretchedoftheearth]

I do find it funny that lesbians are perceived as man-hating but gay men are not perceived as woman-hating, and in fact are often illogically shielded from accusations of misogyny simply by being gay

[micdotcom]

Watch: Poet Porsha Olayiwola heartbreakingly reminds us all that black women’s lives matter too.

"jkr is a muggle" "jkr is voldemort" if we're really going to do this shit i'd say she's mcgonagall. normal smart lady with common sense

[spookyqueenlight-deactivated202]

Anyways JK Rowling is a successful woman and a domestic abuse survivor and she's 100% correct in regards to the erasure of female's struggles. Funny how so many genderists hate on her but support men who are rapists or some other version of scum.

[opabiniawillreturn-deactivated2]

you know what?

we, as radfems, need to actually be there to help detransitioned women. we can't just use them in arguments and toss them aside, as some of you lie to do. we need to show that we support them, because they deserve love.

so here's a shout-out to all the detransitioned women out there: I'm here for you. my blog is a safe space for you. my inbox is always open to you. I may not understand everything about your experiences but I will listen when you tell them. and most importantly, you are loved.

[opabiniawillreturn-deactivated2]

just bringing this back. it's important

[omnivore-odyssey]

Is anyone down to start making a list of the ways people with dysphoria can manage their symptoms other than transition? I never transitioned but I’ve been experiencing sex dysphoria since I was a kid, and I think it would be great if we started getting some resources together. Both detransitioned women and women with dysphoria who never transitioned could benefit from this. My apologies if it’s been done already.

[opabiniawillreturn-deactivated2]

I have very minor dysphoria so I can't speak for others, but therapy definitely helped. just a person to talk to who won't push any sort of transition. it helped me get to the root of my dysphoria I think

[genevulva]

It’s also been helping me to look in the mirror naked and say neutral/positive things out loud even if I don’t believe them. I’ve been trying to not separate my body from who I am and that helps

[klarsynt-arc]

THIS IS URGENT!

[unified-multiversal-theory]

i want justice for sandra bland. i want her fucking time in court finally given to her because they literally MURDERED that woman in cold blood while in police custody because they knew she was about to bring forth hell on them for that stupid ass traffic charge. and instead, she was silence by being killed. and it haunts me to this very day in ways that i can’t explain because with every black person i’ve seen die, i have seen my mother. my uncles. myself sometimes. and that is what yall need to start grasping is that this fear and pain is so real and it hurts so much to carry. i would never wish this on anyone but i am BEGGING yall to fucking say her name and say all of theirs. it is not enough for you to say youre not racist and go because what you need to is not be actively racist. it has to be an everyday change you apply to yourself. black skin cannot be taken off no matter what and we have to live in it in fear because it’s what decides our life. i dont care if it makes yall uncomfy or its hard. its hard for me to wake up everyday and ask god to keep those around me alive and safe. its hard for me to keep fighting this fight when i am so tired and fucking angry. its hard for me to bear another black person’s death. it was hard for sandra bland. it was hard for george floyd. it was hard for tamir rice. say their names and be active in unlearning your racist tendencies and call out your fucking friends and family members because i am sick and tired of being sick and tired.

“But the age of consent is-” Okay but hear me out: stop trying to fuck kids

You 👏🏻 are 👏🏻 a 👏🏻 grown 👏🏻 ass 👏🏻 adult 👏🏻 date 👏🏻 someone 👏🏻 your 👏🏻 own 👏🏻 age 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[whatisdead]

Age of consent is like minimum wage, with the older party saying “if I could legally date someone younger, I would.”

[swedepea]

Men are a plague.

[myothercarisauhaul-original]

JK Rowling making enemies by standing up for women again lmao

[girlsfrommars]

Gender critical queen. TRAs can continue burning Harry Potter copies to cope

[aeroposter]

the man who accused Rowling of being a danger to children is a pedo-apologist. of course

[vladscastle-deactivated20231022]

Men are like well hold on a minute...what if some cultures have child brides like we have to respect their traditions 👀📝

[thatsonemorbidcorvid]

I bet you could ask men from loads of cultures how they felt about child brides and at least some from each would be into it.

I doubt somehow that the little girls would agree.

When we talk about cultural relativism, who are we relating to?

[kiefbowl]

Great point. “Culture” can be a smoke screen word to be used to uphold male voices and devalue female voices. Little girls are also a part of the culture, so who’s cultural voice are we listening to when we hand wave over issues because it’s “culture”?

[fagies]

im fucking tired of this shit. transpeople are not the gender they identify as. the concept of gender, as far as it actually exists, is inextricably linked to sex. a man can say he identifies as a woman but he still isn’t one and never will be one. only female people can be women and only male people can be men.

[girlschasinggirls]

i dont understand why they have to insist they are a literal man/woman and everyone that disagrees is a bigot and deserves to have their life threatened, like I think trans people should be treated fairly and have all the same rights and safety, the same opportunity to education, work and housing etc as any other person. is that not enough? why do I have to see you as a literal man/woman when you objectively aren't and when you trying to change laws to say other wise literally affects other people

[catlogicdefiesall]

They insist because they’re seeking to dominate. This is a male-supremacist movement. Silence women, silence homosexuals, erase women’s rights, erase gay rights. Make no mistake, these are MRAs.

[femme-objet]

a few years ago there was an exposé in the intercept about how, according to the fbi, police departments are so thoroughly infiltrated by white supremacists that it's policy to avoid working with them when possible. just something to think about

[slimegirlknight]

The FBI Has Quietly Investigated White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement

Bureau policies have been crafted to take into account the active presence of domestic extremists in U.S. police departments.

I found the article and... jesus christ.

[weaselle]

yeah, the FBI put out a report that showed active purposeful infiltration of both the military and police by white supremacists. The FBI included a list of steps to take in order to help prevent this including things like updated lists of identifying tattoos and specific screening measures. The military said fuck we thought we were getting them all, thank you, and started implementing all the recommended procedures almost immediately.

The U.S. Police Union wrote the FBI back a letter that basically said “fuck you you can’t tell us who we can and can’t hire” and then the funding for that FBI investigation got suddenly yanked.

Also, holy shit read the article; it is very thorough

[micdotcom]

This white woman’s shocking account of police brutality reveals the importance of the #BlackLivesMatter movement

Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black — and she ends the letter with an important call to action.

[lanie-love09]

The public needs to hear more stories like this as well.

[lennybaby2]

Wow. This is horrifying.

[the-sarkai]

Cops are drunk on power. Add any ism to that, you have a bunch of abusive, gun wielding, trained to kill, non empathetic, killers running around.

[alexandra-erin]

This woman got hauled out of a window, beaten, stripped, tortured, and humiliated, and she still is able to understand how white privilege saved her life.

[marroncheri-deactivated20240407]

Her sex as female, I’m pretty sure, had something to do with the perverse officer’s actions. After all, 60% of officers commit domestic abuse. 

[deputy-shayy]

I’m sure she’s correct in that if she were Black, she would have died, but uh, she’s a woman who got beaten up by a male cop. Shouldn’t that be addressed, too?

[catlogicdefiesall]

“Pretty white women” do get shot dead by cops. Justine Damond called 911 to report a possible assault of a woman behind her house. The cop murdered her. I suspect the only reason he was tried and sentenced to prison was because he was black. He had other complaints outstanding and was being sued for assaulting another woman at the time he killed her.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Justine_Damond

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

This is the story I meant. If she’d been a white man, she’d likely have been let off with a warning. She was targeted and brutalized by that cop because she was a “pretty girl”, not in spite of it. Also, there have literally been serial killer cops whose targets were white women and girls. White privilege is a thing, female privilege is not. If you are female, white privilege won’t protect you from a man who wants to hurt you. Your white privilege *might* mean you get hurt less, it *might* mean you survive the ordeal, it *might* mean the man who hurts you faces consequences. But it doesn’t guarantee it.

[radcybergoth]

My mom had a similar experience. She was taken in for something really small and locked in a cell, barefoot and freezing all night, sitting on the floor while police officers taunted her, called her slurs and humiliated her like an animal in a cage. Called her slut, whore, etc. Keep in mind this isn’t even taking place in America lol so like this isn’t just an American thing. To this day, she doesn’t like talking about it because it was “clear the officers were enjoying it.” They liked hurting her. I grew up with my mother BEGGING me not to trust the police.

If you are female, white privilege will not protect you from a man who wants to hurt you. It might - but if you’re a girl, it is never guaranteed.

[officialweatherwax]

She thinks her gender protected her but there have been enough black women sexually abused and/or killed in police custody to suggest otherwise. White privilege? Definitely. Female privilege? NOT A REAL THING.

[thevaginamonoblogs]

Wow what a privilege it is to be abused and tortured but allowed to live.

Tumblr is literally hell at this point

[saintsinner-asstral]

I am infuriated that anyone should spin this as an account of “privilege” whether white or female. There is nothing privileged about how the police treated her. And it is definitely her sex that causes her to apologize and speak of how “privileged” she is.

Priviledge would be not being stopped at all. The human “right” would be to be treated respectfully with consideration for the circumstances.

Getting the shit beaten out of you isnt privilege. Privilege is not “it could have been worse”. Privilege here is the officer beating the shit out of a woman and still having a job. Its shooting a senile old man and still having your job. Priviledge is being in such a position that you are given power over others despite being a danger.

Also that end bit,

Black women should not be in brackets. Black men and women are dying.

[tadpoledancer]

Just a friendly reminder!!!

That if you say gender is fake, you are automatically invalidating every transgender person who is transitioning or already has.

[pinifera]

Just a friendly reminder!

That if you say gender is real you’re automatically validating millenias worth of oppression females have endured because of the supposed inferiority of our so called gender

[kallisti55-archives]

If it can be destroyed by truth, it should be.

[justtopmeokay]

When you see blogs saying that everyone who chokes people- even with full uncoerced consent of both parties- is an awful person and wants to kill you: i feel bad about my kinks :(

When you see that those blogs are all TERFs and so invalid: time to get choked >:)

[marxism-himboism-deactivated202]

I suppose the World Health Organization must be a “TERF” agency, seeing as it lists all of the risks involved with asphyxiation in the ICD-10. The risk involved with this sort of behavior isn’t a joke. Thousands of people have died from erotic asphyxiation, and even light play has been known to result in permanent injury or death. Anyone who gets off to choking you and is aware of the risks involved is a sexual narcissist who considers their own sexual gratification a higher priority than your physical well being. This kind of sex is classified as a form of self-harm, often a coping mechanism for sexual abuse or trauma, and you should seek help if you’re engaging in it.
