So done with this

Evil harpy who recognizes the oppression of women. Feminism is not for men. This is a sideblog.

[veritablevent]

it's genuinely fascinating that most men simply cannot imagine women being the target audience as well. everything that's not catering to their fantasies is feminazi anti-men propaganda. because it includes and considers the perspective women might have. women don't exist as "real people" to them. that's why a silly post about their female character design outrage is upsetting them so much. it's not enough to have porn games. every game has to cater to men and therefore be a pornified game. otherwise they cannot handle it.

[kiefbowl]

also........audiobooks are not oral tradition either lol. people be like "well we used to listen to stories before reading" like are you listening to the same audiobook every single day with your entire community while people act it out in front of you in order to preserve shared cultural understandings OR are you just listening to a book lol. like just enjoy listening to the book why does it HAVE to be anything more than that!! it's just not the same thing sorry </3

[goblinous]

It all smacks of insecurity. Why are people on the internet trying to make audiobooks into something they're not? Why are they ashamed of what audiobooks are? Why not just listen to audiobooks in peace, unbothered by the need to justify them to random strangers?

The trend of acting like calling something what it is is an insult is worrying. I can't help but draw connections between this and people pretending disabilities aren't disabling or that sex doesn't exist.

I read part of American Gods as a teen bc my gf at the time liked Neil Gaiman’s stuff with Terry Pratchett. My main impression was that it blowed, and that Gaiman was a perv who hated women. “Death of the author” except it’s like how some dude can be talking about something completely unrelated, and his porn addiction still wafts through. His pretension and misogyny and subsequent approach to the world seeped through every paragraph

On Womanhood

Thirteen Things Womanhood Is Not:

A sliding scale where some women are more or less womanly than others

A welcoming open door club that anyone can claim membership to

A special exclusive club full of wonderful privileges whose existing members decide who does and doesn’t belong

Wearing long hair, makeup, dresses or otherwise performing femininity

Being good at feelings and domestic tasks and bad at driving and math

Acting cute, seductive, giggly, sexy, coy, submissive or flirty

A soft, warm, sensitive, nurturing, emotional or moody personality

An interest in cute, pretty, soft, frilly or sparkly things

A certain mindset, outlook or way of thinking that’s naturally ingrained in all women’s brains

A magical mystical undefinable state of being or sense of “sisterhood”

A special feeling or instinct that comes from deep down in your soul that you “just know”

A costume for men to wear

An identity for men to claim

Two Things Womanhood Is:

A biological fact

The state of being an adult female human who was born into a female human body

And that’s all. That’s it. Everything else is irrelevant.

[varazhi-deactivated20250417]

on psychologytoday.com if you search for therapists and select "female" in the filter then there's a little blurb at the bottom of the page politely chastising you for preferring a female therapist, and even suggesting you need to unpack some things if you prefer a woman. they use phrasing like "believe", "imagine", and "adhering too rigidly to a gender preference".

if you search for male therapists, the blurb totally changes and encourages prospective clients to start with a therapist they feel comfortable with. sexism is baked into e v e r y t h i n g

[girlboss-enthusiast]

In the blurb on male therapists, it says "Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy"

But zero comment made about the many, many reasons a woman may not want to work with a male therapist. Because it's okay for women to distrust other women (those gossipy hags!), but god forbid a woman have a single hesitation over sharing her deepest trauma with a man (our reliable and steadfast protectors).

Every aspect of society wants women to hate other women. We need to do everything we can to prevent that.

[goblinous]

They've really managed to pack an incredible amount of sexism in a handful of paragraphs.

They've got a whole bit about how men can benefit from male therapists "being on the same page more quickly" when it comes to "gender specific challenges" with multiple broad categories of challenge mentioned in the first paragraph, meanwhile women "believe" that a female therapist "will be able to relate to their specific challenges" with only one very specific challenge mentioned.

The underlying implication is that female-specific challenges aren't really a big deal, they're something individual that a female therapist would be no better at understanding or relating to than a man. Meanwhile male-specific challenges are framed as universal for men and highly important, something a female therapist would have to be brought up to speed on.

Breeching was a rite of passage to impress upon boys that they were superior to girls even earlier than we do today but sure, it was sooooooo gender. All those 2 year old boys were smashing gender binaries because their Dads started dressing them in pants so they could move while girls were left to rot in babyhood smocks!!!!!!! It doesn't bear mentioning that this happened when they proved they were toilet trained to the sound of celebrations, public showings, and parties, sectioning girls off for humiliation and symbolic stunting. It doesn't behoove them to mention that this marked when fathers suddenly started participating in child-rearing while, again, the girls were left with mom only, to never move freely, be educated, own money, or have a career!!!!

[goblinous]

"Gender fluid" is when toddlers are dressed in the same clothes regardless of sex for practicality, and boys are switched to pants to visually distinguish them from girls at the earliest convenient opportunity.

"Gender is clothes" is hardly new, but "gender is the clothes your parents put you in" isn't even consistent with other parts of genderism.

[acidbathbunnies-moved]

Scientists mapped all the nerves of the clitoris for the first time

High-resolution X-ray offers a new look at an understudied organ: the clitoris.

'Useless' female organ discovered over a century ago may actually be important for fertility

The rete ovarii, a poorly understood structure connected to the ovaries, may be much more essential to ovarian function than scientists init

some cool articles i found

[acidbathbunnies-moved]

[bushpropaganda]

and the research was led by a woman!! dr. ju young lee, thank you :'))) her website is linked in the first article, but here it is again.

[creekfiend]

it's wild how lack of willingness to show large amounts of your naked body in public is conflated with a discomfort or insecurity about said body. like obviously if people are motivated by those things that's also fine but it's like. "if you like your body you should want to wear as small a swimsuit as possible; the only reason to get """modest""" swimwear is if you're insecure or have religious motivations" so it's weird feeling like nah my body is awesome I just don't want every rando at the municipal pool to have visual access to it? lol. how I feel about my body is unrelated to whether strangers have a right to view it

[femsolid]

Modern video game character creation doesn't let you pick between female or male anymore. Now it's "body type" and "silhouette" and "style" and "form" and "figure" with added "choose your pronouns" sometimes. Some good things came with it but generally it comes across as performative and weird, like we're all supposed to pretend sex doesn't exist for the sake of some. You have to wonder why a male driven industry, notorious for its objectification of women, would make this choice.

I've noticed that, although biological sex doesn't exist anymore, we still always know wich "figure" should cover her nipples and come with longer hair. And which one is the default body type, primary, A, number one. Spoiler alert: females are always the second choice. Of only two choices. That's why it looks performative.

I appreciate that the female and male characters can share characteristics like body hair and haircuts. It's just a shame we have to give up on being female in the process. I was surprised that even non western games find themselves following this trend. It speaks to how much of global entertainment is centered around pleasing white people I suppose.

[mynameis-agatha-deactivated2024]

Funny thing even our bones are different from male bones. I wonder how will they change that

[fossettt]

An example of the bones comment,

PokemonGo recently rolled out an update to the avatars in an attempt to make them more customizable and inclusive. Left is old right is new.

Pros: Less sexualized female models. That's usually good in my book, makes me feel less objectified. There's also a slider for weight now so the body types are a little more diverse. All avatars can also now wear all the clothes, instead of the cool stuff being restricted to male models and the revealing stuff restricted to female models. (I really wanted to wear the clunky wader boots but couldn't as a woman.)

Cons: They attempted to create a "default" body, then added sliders to enlarge or shrink body parts like hips and boobs. But the default body was male (gasp). And they did not create sliders for hand/foot size or shoulder slope. So the above pics don't look terrible when they're not moving, but when they do it looks like a hunchbacked man skulking around with scary orangutan arms, no matter what you do to it because a male body is just not shaped like a female body even if you stick boobs on it. The skin tone selections looked all washed out and weird too.

Anyway there was a big backlash to it with most players, even the trans ones, saying the update turned everyone into men. I thought it was interesting that a lot of the trans-identified players expressed dismay that their avatar now looked more like them when they were actually after their anime-looking ideal.

[femsolid]

Yeah similar to Elden Ring. It's obvious the female character creation is just the male one slightly modified. You have to fight the male bone structure every step of the way. It's the worst character creator I've ever seen tbh. For us "type B" anyway.

Gender neutral = male.

Inclusivity = male.

Human = male.

[penelopelima]

Reblogging again because I just started playing Elden Ring and can definitely attest now to how difficult it is to make a woman in that game. Almost impossible.

[coochiequeens]

i have no words

[chadradfem]

Urgh imagine your dying wish is to donate your body to medicine thinking that maybe you will give a child a new lease on life with a heart transplant or help someone whose liver is failing and then your skin ends up in some fetishistic, misogynistic male’s open wound… disgosteng

[coochiequeens]

@chadradfem those are the words I was looking for

[powerfem]

Wow this makes me so fucking mad. Alloderm is a very expensive material, because it comes from a donor of course, but also because of the process to make it. So expensive that they use a limited amount on burn victims, its intended use, only on very mobile areas or in very grave cases.

Imagine seeing person with the majority of their body burned, who isn't getting alloderm everywhere because it is very expensive, and then reading this 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Did you now that many times doctor struggle finding donor skin for burn patients? That can easily mean life or death.

[some-random-radfem]

Considering that I am currently struggling with kidney disease, I can not describe to you the levels of furious that this makes me on behalf of every person requiring any kind of life-saving organ donation at all. There aren't even words. The only real reaction I can think of besides writing this post is to throw every fetishistic TiM into a wood chipper, and then to start screaming and never, ever stop. 🤬🤬🤬

[some-random-radfem]

Sorry not sorry, but I have to share this again because someone posted something in the tags that is just making me RAGE at this TiM all over again.

This is so utterly infuriating to me ("this" referring to the dude's surgery, not the tagger's decision, just to be clear). When these fetishistic males do these things, when they go in for these purely elective surgeries, not only do they take organs away from potentially dying people who really need them for totally redundant and unnecessary purposes, but they also scare people off of becoming organ donors due to the fear of one's organs being used for this purpose once deceased. Yet, requirements for life-saving organ transplants are not going to disappear just because some disgusting male fetishist is pining for his own personal designer "vagina" (translation: open surgical wound). There are still going to be dying people who desperately need them. And now, because of the trans cult and their plastic surgery obsession, there are fewer of them to go around, and what's there may not even be used on them.

These men are so utterly, clinically narcissistic and self-centered that they are willing to let terminally ill or severely injured innocent people suffer and die because these misogynistic AGPs have decided that they want, idk, boob jobs or some shit.

Do you all understand my wood chipper comment now? 🤬🤬🤬

[ihatemenandtherearereasons]

Exhibit 1480

[yenneterf]

As someone who works in the field of tissue/eye donation, this shit absolutely infuriates me. Especially because of how difficult and opportunistic it can feel to speak to families (which I do!! daily!!!) about how life-saving tissue donation can be, and now knowing it can go to some man's fetishistic impulses. it breaks my heart.

these surgeries aren't life-saving. they're for men's sexual gratification. they're a waste of valuable tissue that could save the lives of burn victims. i'm livld.

[nansheonearth]

[goblinous]

Obviously the most minor of this shitstain's crimes, but that's not even what cyberpunk means! He's not getting a robotic "vagina". His open wound isn't gonna have wifi. This would be biopunk at best, really more frankensteinian than anything.

Honestly, I'm hoping he's just making things up and not actually going to waste medical resources.

[quinntheestallion]

Women’s stories of marriage scare me. I would hate feeling like I’m obligated to have sex all the time. It sounds like hell and constant sexual harassment. They make it sound like you’re signing over the right to your own body. Why would something like this even need to be discussed. If it’s not a good time, it’s not a good time.

Sex is mutual engagement not a service being performed and you have to notify your customer when the service is not available. Marriage is really just permanent whoredom for many women. No wonder so many women become sex repulsed. How do you enjoy sex when your body is being treated like a toilet most of the time.

[aftonfamilyvalues]

the original post makes me cringe but the fact a woman is being harassed over her pedophile ex-husband using the judicial system to abuse her and her daughter because she was mean to transwomen

[goblinous]

Funny how gendies are all "ACAB" when male sex predators are arrested, but suddenly on the side of the police when an abuser weaponizes the justice system against a woman.

[marimoes]

Thinking about how people say we shouldn't tell women the horrors of childbirth because it'll scare them and discourage them from having children and well, isn't that just arguing against informed consent?

[goblinous]

Fascinating how ingrained it is that women shouldn't warn each other about negative experiences with pregnancy and childbirth, to the point where most comments/reblogs maliciously misinterpreted "tell women the horrors of childbirth" as specifically meaning "tell pregnant women exaggerated gruesome stories to scare them". The whole point of "informed consent" is to warn women before they get pregnant. If a woman is hearing "scary stories" (accounts of actual women's experiences) for the first time when she's 5 months along, something has gone wrong.

There's also a lot of full-on tradwife type responses, people talking about how women's bodies are "made for" childbirth, how it's "natural" and that means talking about side-effects is an insult to our "inner strength", or conversly how medical science is so advanced now that side effects/mortality are basically a non-issue (never mind the rates of urinary incontinence after givjng birth). Some bring up certain side effects being preventable, as if there's a real way to guarantee you'll have a medical team that actually bothers to prevent them. There's also the argument that childbirth being common means it's safe.

Ultimately the contradictory mess of arguments all stem from the same fact: it's taboo to warn women about the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. It's taboo for women to talk to each other about our own experiences, especially if those experiences contradict social narratives about our "purpose".

[veritablevent]

funny how people can admit that "penetrative sex has to hurt women" is a myth, created and spread with the purpose of conditioning women to expect and accept sexual violence from their male partners, but refuse to even consider how "hurting your partner (usually a woman) during sex is normal and fun" might have the same purpose. their violence-as-a-sexual-baseline belief is evil and stupid. my violence-as-a-sexual-baseline belief is good and smart.

[przewalskishorsegirl]

oh you see we don't say you have to engage in violence in sex! We'd never say that!!!

Buttttttt if you're gonna be a boring vanilla scardey cat well don't be surprised when he cheats!!! You need to spice things up otherwise he'll get bored...oh how do you spice things up?? Conviently the easiest way is to let him hit you :)

[anjomecanico]

I can't stand these pro-porn dumbasses who think feminists are scared of seeing boob pics when we are obviously talking about the horrible brutalization, dehumanization and torture of women that happens behind the scenes and directly in porn media. And that is of extremely easy access even for children

[11thfempachi]

they just think that images of naked people and recorded and posted online rape are equally harmless

[finnishrogue]

i think they WANT us to think that. they already know perfectly what they have seen themselves and what porn sites are actually full of, they just are addicted to it and can't orgasm without it so they hope anti-porn activists haven't seen anything much so we could be silenced with a little "oh so you are so prudish you will scream with a little picture of someone holding their boobs huh??!?!?!"
