I've seen others on here complaining about pierriq before but only now looked at her posts and she literally isn't even offensive, she's basically the average Taiwanese feminist i.e against dating and sex with men, supportive of lesbians, anti-surrogacy, anti-corset, anti-porn, anti-selfid… I think too many of the girlies on here are too used to being coddled and babied and "of course you're a good radfem despite having a man! of course you're still a good radfem despite having a man's baby!" whereas Taiwanese radfems are highly against it and would laugh in the face of any woman claiming to be a feminist who does that stuff. Radical feminism is more than just writing "lmao KAM" online and then going about your day with your boyfriend/husband. A lot of radfems on here are basically normal women who just are against porn and makeup and TIMs in women's spaces who call themselves radfems because they have no other word to refer to themselves as, they have no intentions of actually doing anything to challenge the patriarchy because "it's too difficult uwu Not being with a man is impossible uwu You want me to die alone uwu" This is why I only follow other lesbians and women who are from or originally from non-western countries, the level of understanding is much different.
warning I am gonna get a little personal and maybe trauma dumb a bit uwu
the moment I realized western feminists will never understand me is when they write posts disparaging separatists by weaponizing women in global majority countries against us, and then finishing off with “men will become more violent if we stop being with them/doing what they want us to do” like I am very painfully aware of that I could’ve been a victim of honor killing but I still took the risk to live a life worth living. I lost my family, my country, my home, I have not seen my nephews and nieces (the only family members I care about) and my bestfriend in almost a decade, my asylum case is stagnant, I am not doing well financially and I have been very mentally ill and I am still recovering but that also caused me physical health complications, all of that because of the trauma I went through, but I would still run away again in a heartbeat because this is preferable to living a life where you are constantly fearing male violence and having every decision dictated by someone else, fucked against my will and giving birth to children I don’t want. and anon it’s not just me, so many Arab women are fleeing to seek asylum and some of us didn’t make it, so we are the global majority women that you use in arguments but when those women like myself and when Asian feminists that they all love to hype up so much actually speak up here and challenge them, suddenly we don’t matter actually because we are worth less than their comfort. so they don’t get me and I don’t get them, I fought and survived to live this life, to enjoy rights they were born with, and they decided to be comfortable and not think about anyone else.

this this this. not to mention it hurts & is frustrating seeing your experiences, the experiences of our sisters, of the women we grew up with, of our mothers, our grandmothers, etc used as a mere argument point and then forgotten about afterwards. it practically sickens me each time. they use us to argue in support of them dating men and its so vile to me.
