Don’t cross any of the many active picket lines and pay close attention to what’s going on…

i find it really disheartening when radfems/gc women reblog pictures of transwomen and say pretty horrible things about their appearance. it’s one thing to say they’re obviously men/male (perfectly true and fine), but to say you’d see him dressed like that and start screaming? or assume he’s a predator…or a serial killer…no wonder TRAs level accusations of hatred toward gnc people against us, tbh.

the only thing a man in a dress means is that he’s a man and he’s wearing a dress. he can have poor style, bad makeup, etc. but none of that gives us license to really come to hurt him. what’s wrong with those of you who do this?

we can talk critically about the inherent misogyny of thinking a man can even “dress like a woman,” but savaging his appearance because he’s wearing clothing from the women’s section? bad look. we can talk critically about men who wear clothing that is marketed for little girls without disparaging gender nonconformist dressing in men overall.

there is absolutely nothing wrong with men in dresses or makeup or with long hair or high heels—the worthy critique is that none of this makes them women. it does not matter how badly they apply makeup or that they don’t know how to fit a dress, when you shift from addressing the fallacy that “feminine clothing = woman” to calling him “busted and scary,” you’re crossing into the territory that disparages gender nonconformity in men.

it’s not the costume that is the issue, it’s what transwomen insist the costume MEANS. focus.

i hope americans know about the unjust, unfair system that allowed them to get vaccines so early. while young and healthy ppl in the us decide which day of the week is more convinient to get a shot, the majority of the world can’t even secure vaccines for their elders. 

it’s not “effort” it’s no “innovation”. its just modern imperialism.

Only about 25% of Brazilians have gotten their first shot, and only 11% have gotten both shots (me included, finally!) of the covid vaccine.

do you know how hard it is to find an article that won’t say ‘no one benefits from patriarchy’. omg if the patriarchy doesn’t benefit men, who created it? who is enforcing it? why haven’t men abolished it?

[she-volution-deactivated2022052]

you say racism exists because it benefits white people. you say classism exists because it benefits rich people. when you say sexism benefits no one, you are implying sexism doesn’t exist.

Men have been asking probably since the beginning of feminism “when can I hit a woman” and the answer up until recently was always “never”, but now it’s “when she’s a terf”. Women who call themselves feminists are actually advocating FOR male violence now smh

Or when she says something he deems “wrong”. Don’t forget that guy who kicked a woman for being anti-choice and was praised in liberal social media.

here’s the thing, if you consume porn i don’t want to hear your opinion on social issues at all. you don’t like racism but you watch videos from a site that has slavery themed porn? you want to smash the patriarchy but you’ll watch 18 year old girls get pissed on by grown men. you hate homophobes but you’ll watch porn on a site that has videos titled “lesbian forced to take cock”? you want to battle transphobia but you’re okay with pornhub recruiting trans identitied teens to be abused on film for a couple hundred bucks? if you can boycott a spice brand for prejudice why can’t you do it for porn? if your activism ends the moment you want to nut, shut your fucking mouth and stop pretending like you give a fuck about any of this.

Anti sex “work” because—

Consent can’t be bought

The majority of prostituted women want to exit

Poor women and girls of color are disproportionately funneled into the sex industry

The industry relies on there being a vulnerable and uncared for class of women and girls to sexually exploit

Racism, classism, imperialism, slavery, and colonialism are all embedded in or connected to prostitution

Prostitution is a cause and result of inequality between the sexes

The sex industry is proven to rely heavily on trafficking and exploitation

It promotes violence against women

It is violence against women

Prostitution is inherently violent

The sex industry encourages, promotes, and caters to male sexual entitlement

Under full decriminalization and legalization, prostituted women are still murdered, raped, assaulted, and stolen from by pimps and johns

Women who have escaped from prostitution have high rates of PTSD and other disorders

The industry promotes fetishization, stereotypes, and sexualized racism and racialized sexism against women of color

“Consensual sex work” and human trafficking are inescapably linked (Oof)

The liberation of women and an industry dedicated to the objectification of women cannot coexist

It reduces women to sexual objects and masturbatory aids

The sex industry preys on the most marginalized women and girls

Porn culture harms women and girls (yes, even “feminist” porn)

The normalization of sex as “work” degrades the status of women as a class

These are a few reasons for the abolitionist stance I came up with at the top of my head. The only reason to be pro-porn and pro-prostitution is if one believes that the orgasms of johns, profits of pimps, and pleasure of a few “happy hookers” is worth more than the safety, freedom, and humanity of every other woman and girl.

TL;DR

The sex industry is incompatible with feminism.

[anti-porn-unicorn]

I just saw a ted talk called “why sex work is central to feminism” I-

Oh yeah bc objectifying ourselves and selling our bodily autonomy and giving perverted men exactly what they want is totally feminism hahaha wtf
