i love u so much
i love you even more
interesting how Dworkin’s husband was pretty much dead silent regarding Dworkin for 20 years since her death but the minute her books are republished as penguin classics (when he makes money off her name again - most likely all the money she would have made from sales is going directly to him) he’s suddenly entitled to be deciding that she was soooo pro-trans that actually!!! her “words and ideas” “move through” a trans identified male!! guys dworkin is actually reborn as a black trans woman so please please, wider leftist audience, please buy the books for $25 on amazon!! i promise she doesn’t offend anyone!! i promise she won’t hurt the feelings of any men!! i promise her feminism has no claws and no teeth!
anyways, i’m going back to pirating dworkin.
forgot to mention the black trans identified male also posts porn on tumblr!! guys we all know dworkin was such a fan of people who’s most used tags include multiple “nsfw” tags!! dworkin loved makes porn addicts!!
i’m not fucking joking at all btw
tw kidnapping fetish and other fetish content below the cut. yes, kidnapping fetish. he gets off on women being kidnapped and raped. the man who allegedly dworkin’s “ideas and words move through”
what a way to betray everything she ever stood for.
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 🤷♀️
I love you autistic girls with speech difficulties I love you autistic girls who can’t get along with other girls but hate men I love you autistic girls who identify heavily with cinderella I love you autistic girls who collect dolls I love you autistic girls who love fashion history I love you autistic girls who are borderline obsessive and creepy when you have a crush I love you autistic girls who are radfems I love you autistic girls who listen to whatever music you want I love you autistic girls who only hang out with old people and kids I love you autistic girls who aren’t religious but cry when you see holy relics I love you autistic girl.
(some guy on the internet voice) it's so unrealistic and forced when women win fights against men in stories. of course, when a young boy defeats a huge man I'm cheering and screaming because it is so badass, and when a frail old man defeats a cocky young warrior I feel nothing but satisfaction. I love these power fantasies about easily dispatching people who underestimate you, a thing I desire despite the fact that I will likely never have the skill to achieve it in real life, but I'm pretty sure women don't have that same desire, and even if they do, they shouldn't get to see it in media. because it's so unrealistic, you see. I mean I'm smart enough to know I can't take down a big man in a fight but the women, you know, they'll get ideas. I could probably do it if I trained hard enough, but the women??? for some reason I can't see it happening, and who can say why that is.
Body positivity will never work because it functions of the assumption that beauty means inherent human value, which it doesn't. Body neutrality is the only future.
i understand why radfems are seen as miserable because it’s pretty miserable to notice misogyny in everything. being intolerant of it makes you unable to participate in many things. no i haven’t seen that popular movie. or the new crime show. i need two fingers to count how many of my favorite artists as a young girl turned out to be abusers or enablers. i won’t separate the art from the artist. i don’t want to hear my friend talk about her anime. it’s gross. i don’t want to go to a party or club where i can get in free because im the product. or where i get rejected because im not “pretty enough” to be a product. i dont want to go to a frat party or be friendly with the males in them. even if they seem to be “woke” because the institution is rooted in patriarchal white supremacy. no, i actually think your dark romance is disgusting and indulges in the same violent sexuality you claim to hate about porn and men. and no i dont want to support your onlyfans or hear about the men you claim to have power over because they give you money due to your beauty and willingness to please them. i will tell you every red flag i hear about your boyfriend when you speak of him. and his friends. i WILL tell you that the horror films you love so much sexualize violence against women. i will tell you your favorite artist is an abuser. or that they pander to the male gaze while claiming to do so as satire. and i don’t want to have to bite my tongue either. i don’t want to not share the truth because it makes you uncomfortable. i will call your favorite things misogynistic if they are. and honestly, the misery doesn’t come from noticing these things for what they are. it comes from the fact that others don’t seem to, and if they do, they look past it. that’s what’s miserable about it.
"I'm a bi woman and my boyfriend is also bi, so we're a queer couple."
Hetero relationship.
"I'm a transman and I'm dating a transwomen, and since we're both trans, we're a queer couple."
Hetero relationship.
"I'm a transman dating a cisman and we're SO gay!"
Hetero relationship.
I'm a woman dating a transwoman and we're both lesbians!"
Hetero relationship.
"I'm a AFAB nonbinary person dating a AMAB nonbinary person and we're very queer!"
Hetero relationship.
"I'm a woman dating a man and we're very kinky, so we're queer!"
Hetero relationship.
"I'm a woman dating a man who likes painting his nails, so that means we're-"
Hetero relationship.
Female x Male = Hetero relationship. It doesn't matter how different and unconventional you think your relationship is from most hetero couples. It's primarily women I see insisting their hetero relationship is not like the others and is "queer" because it's not blatantly based on Christian tradcon values.
And yeah I get that bi people don't stop being bi when they're in a relationship with the opposite sex. But a female person dating a male person still makes the relationship itself hetero.
we should bring back she/her as the generic pronoun
im not joking btw im talking about how it used to be pretty common for communist writers to use she/her to refer to a generic worker/person/etc as a #feminist thing. it's more common to use gender-neutral language now but the problem is people are still constantly assuming that the default person is male, even when non-gendered language is used. she/her at least has the effect on the reader of like, giving them a stern look and saying "remember women exist". anyway i want us to bring this back
and before anyone gets silly, no it's not misgendering people who don't use she/her, unless you believe all the cis male writers who did/do this also believe that Everyone On Earth Is A Woman. it's a political writing choice
I played so many board games or card games growing up, and the rules would describe "a player" and their options. often it was "he/him or sometimes they/them. But I remember the games that referred to this player as she/her, and it would make my night as a little kid. It meant so much to me to see a female default AND a female default in a hobby that was so old-man coded.
This really does help women remember they can be a default too.
I listen to a lot of writing advice channels, most of them run by women, and it pains me to see how many default to male pronouns when talking about hypothetical characters, or even hypothetical authors (ex. "the writer must ask himself if he...")
Unless of course the genre is romance, then protagonists are defaulted to she/her - because romance is a "woman's genre", thus your protagonist must be a woman too. But wait, here comes the heteronormativity! And we're back to defaulting the love interest character as male.
if someone is struggling financially and you suggest that they go into sex work you need to die I’m not joking
so let me get this straight.... Ethel Cain can post a picture of his entire dick and balls on the internet and Instagram has left it up for 2 days and counting, but a woman-centered sex education and resource page got permabanned for TALKING about vaginas and arousal. Tell me again who the censored and silenced ones are? Tell me again who's bodies are being discriminated against?
and while I'm at it, don't forget that Ethel Cain is a racist piece of shit who's hiding from responsibility behind his transness and Appalachian upbringing.
(Edit: not Appalachian, fully from Tallahassee. also corrected pronouns)
women have to live with the constant awareness of the possibility of getting raped even in the most innocuous of situations, and people still have the audacity to present this awareness as drama and fearmongering. if you help out an elderly man with getting his groceries into the house and he rapes you, you are the dummy for not thinking it through. but if an elderly man invites you into his house on the pretense of needing help with the groceries and you refuse, you are a paranoid (and heartless!) bitch. schrödinger's rapists: every man could be one, but also no man is, so how dare you think about it.
A clear difference between a man's clothing and a woman's clothing.
This dress isn't even meant for WALKING. These legs are literally immobilized.
And it hurts me to look at her fake smile.
I feel so crazy. How do women not see this and see how dehumanizing and sexist this is? Why do they try so hard to make women nothing but a sexualized art project for us to oogle at?
women stop hobbling yourself for validation and expectations
allow yourself to be comfortable please
he can be comfortable but is still considered put together
by expectation you on the other hand essentially have to hurt yourself
>male philosopher
>look inside
>pedophile
don't you lecture me with your bald pussy
draw women in post-apocalyptic world settings with armpit hair, leg hair, bushy brows and pubic hair ya cowards,, draw brown women/women with dark thick hair with arm hair and happy trails and sideburns and mustaches i’m sick of seeing silky smooth soapy clean make up wearing post apocalyptic dolled up women next to stinky sweaty crusty men with dirty nails and sweaty clothes and sweaty greasy hair and 3m long ugly beards
or, if you must depict women maintaining that shit, at least be interesting about it. I can actually buy someone shaving/putting on makeup if that’s their way of coping, something they do to tether themselves to the past or an ellusive feeling of normalcy. So show me the EFFORT put in, yeah? Show that woman risking a zombie horde because she spotted a fucking tube of scarlet lipstick and christ she hasn’t seen that color in five years but it’s what she wore on her first date with her now-dead husband. Show me the girl who is quietly starting to fucking lose it but covers it up with fanatical commitment to her appearance because if she gets these eyebrows right, maybe no one will notice how she stares at things that aren’t there. I find it completely plausible that some women would go to incredible lengths to maintaining their appearance, because they’ve been socialized all their lives to caring about it, because it’s a part of their identity. So show me how that part gets negotiated with once the world has gone to hell.
