Watching Olympics women's weightlifting 🏋️‍♀️

[wintertidewater-deactivated2025]

What a perfect example to show the importance of watching female sports. The direct impact it has on your self esteem and the confidence it instills in young girls around you ❤️

Let me describe to you what kind of world gender abolitionists actually dream about:

When a child would be born it’s biological sex, being an actual physical reality, would be noticed but not a single assumption regarding the child’s personality would be made based on it.

Growing up, children would be free to chose what toys and clothes they prefer. If they want to play with toy trucks or dolls, it would be fine either way. If they want to dress comfortably or in frilly colorful dresses, it would be fine.

Certain personality traits would not be encouraged in members of one sex and discouraged in the other. Females would be free to be strong, brave and assertive and males would not be shamed for being shy and soft spoken.

No female child would be called a tomboy and no male child would be called a sissy. No kid would ever be bullied for what we in our gendered world call “gender expression”.

When children would reach puberty they would still be free to dress how they want. Females would not be pressured to wear clothes that reveal their bodies and males would not be shamed if they chose to. Everybody would have a free choice of accessories, which would not be categorized as “men’s” or “women’s” but people could should whichever they liked. Or chose to not wear accessories at all if that’s what they are more comfortable with.

Females would not be pressured to keep their bodies slim, soft and hairless. Males would not be pressured to be athletic and muscular. Expectations of femininity and masculinity upon the body would not exist and affect negatively people’s relationship with their own body.

Everyone could choose a career without fearing stigmatization within that particular field because of their biological sex. The most important thing would be competence and not what someone has between their legs.

Domestic work would not be considered “women’s work” and would be shared equally between the sexes.

Biological sex would only be thought about when relevant. And everyone would be free to be themselves without ever having to worry about gender expectations. Nobody would feel the need to repress certain parts of their personality and exaggerate others in order to fit into some gender role that is being forced on them.

Gender abolitionism is not about restricting people’s choices but about giving them greater freedom.

homo sapiens have existed for 300,000 years. modern day digital porn has existed for like 30. i’m sure you can find a way to orgasm that doesn’t involve an underclass of women and minors being sexually exploited, while also lining the pockets of pedophiles who run sites like pornhub and onlyfans 🤷‍♀️

[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

what really fucks me up about watching the truman show in 2025 is how it's not fictional. truman is fictional, but the truman show isn't.

there's thousands of truman shows. you find them on youtube, tiktok, instagram... family and mommy vloggers, sad beige moms and now the trend of neglectful moms showing the "reality" of parenting. all of them using their kids for entertainment. each child their own truman; living a life manufactured by their parents, a camera watching their every moment, broadcasted for the entire world to see.

[king-carnivore]

tbh, i didn't even think about that when i made my post and holy shit you're so fucking right

it’s even worse when people try to spin it as a privileged role, rather than an unpaid job that may or may not have been forced into the woman due to limited resources for childcare, poor protection of maternity rights, and other issues.

No, it’s not a privilege to be the unpaid labor that enables someone else to gain financial resources; it’s a vulnerable place to be that can go VERY badly VERY quickly. People will flaunt “behind every successful man is a woman” until they realize it stipulates the unsupported work of a homemaker.

Being a homemaker is not a privilege — but men and other workers are privileged to have a homemaker enable their success.

Not to be a freak but why isn’t anyone into being.. gentle and not evil in bed

[rosedustd]

Also why is it that sex that isn’t wildly misogynistic or otherwise sadistic and borderline/actually abusive is immediately referred to as “boring”??? What does that say about you as a person?? What does that say about our society?? Also tmi but to be honest if things get too rough my body literally goes numb anyway. The lack of nuance in sensations is boring to me like the what fuck has porn done to people???? The definition of modern “exciting” sex is just beating someone and at least hinting at some sick parody of rape. Just because you have a boner doesn’t mean it’s any less fucked up.

[maslows-pyramid-scheme]

In the 1980s, when many women were graduating with professional degrees, anger against women crackled the airwaves [popular culture recast tender, intimate sex as boring]. We saw a stupendous upsurge in violent sexual imagery in which the abused was female … In a world where both sexes’ guilt and angry fear surrounded the sense that women were getting out of control, the public quickly lost interest in ordinary unharmed nakedness. Presented as more compulsively engaging to the attention of men and, eventually, women, was imagery that played out anxieties from the sex war, reproducing the power inequality that recent social changes had questioned: male dominance, female submission. Female nakedness became inhuman, ‘perfected’ beyond familiarity, freakishly like a sculpture in plastic, and often degraded or violated.

She took up acting because the malnutrition she suffered under the nazis permanently damaged her health and prevented her from pursuing her dream to be a ballerina. During the war, she danced to raise money for the resistance - even though she was literally starving, she used what strength she had to make sure more nazis got shot. 

[neveria]

She and her mom also denounced their royal heritage because of the Nazis in their family

These are things I literally never would have known about. I’m tired of women being painted as just being pretty.

okay yeah i do think your filler is off putting and your botox makes you rigid and strange to look at

[tomatoinyourgarden]

I know you think it’s “feminist” to hate on women who already have self esteem and image issues (through no fault of their own, as a direct result of patriarchy) for doing something to help them cope with their fleeting youth - which may or may not have been stripped from them against their will due to years of depression, abuse, oppression, or whatever else - but the truth is that the freedom to get Botox is actually a right feminists have fought for - whether intentionally or unintentionally. Women used to get thrown away when we outlived our youth and beauty - now we have the option to prolong it and change the way we are perceived and treated by society as a whole. We ALL had to grow up too fast. We ALL have to cope with a childhood that ended too soon. I’m no less a feminist than you are simply because I choose to hold onto my youth and beauty because it helps me feel better about my own loss of innocence. This is all just another excuse to hate on women and tear us down. You’re literally letting the patriarchy win by judging women for their personal choices which harm absolutely no one. Please grow up. Not everyone is conventionally attractive or ages gracefully. Some women can cope with that and some can’t. Both deserve love and respect. Have some decency. You’re not edgy for this. You’re hating just like a man would.

[berrytart]

Feminists … have fought… for the right … to use Botox…..

[flowerlygirls]

unironically being vocal about plastic surgery procedures making you look worse has a much better chance of keeping young women from getting shit done. logically you know. because they get this shit done to look better.

She's right and she should say it

[a-lesbian-feminist]

There actually are a lot of genuinely submissive men, but they're submissive to OTHER MEN. It's rare for men to submit to women, but they constantly submit to their male authority figures like bosses, politicians, etc.

[atwoodsfemalefantasy]

and you'll soon find that these "submissive" men are actually just as in control as the "dominant" man. just tell your "submissive" boyfriend you no longer want to fulfill his submissive fantasies.

in the end, whose fantasies are you fulfilling? still his. he is still in control, he is still telling YOU what to do, it's just that he's controlling from what appears to be a submissive position.
