call for interest: radfem wikipedia editing team

so i've seen some stuff on here as well as posted stuff about how much wikipedia is biased to the transactivist side. so that gave me an idea to learn to edit wikipedia together as a small group, possibly have a discord group or similar and help each other out. reblog this to boost, message me if you think you'd like to join.

i want it to be low time commitment (other irl activism is more interesting) and for people to not have to know anything about wiki to join (though if you're a slightly more experienced wiki editor, teach me your ways!!!!) also being international is an advantage (you can translate articles into other languages and keep most of the sources).

also i want to be realistic about where we are actually able to enact change. translating the article about magdalen berns into various languages is going to do more than getting stuck in an edit war about jk rowling.

TIMs: ummm you know the penis isn’t an evil organ it’s actually a completely neutral body part that is no more likely to cause harm than any other body part and by acting like there’s some kind of inherent violence associated with penises you’re being super gross and bio-essentialist and transmisogynistic !!!!!!!

TIMs the second a woman angers them: suck my dick, gargle my balls, I’m gonna rape you with my girldick, you deserve to die choking on a transfem’s cock, etc etc

TIMs when they see any posts about uteruses, vaginas, or other female anatomy: “THIS IS A TERF DOGWHISTLE!”

crazy how i find myself thinking i've got a handle on it all finally and then i see the ways that other people tangle their lives together so easily and live so easily together with their friends and i feel like that girl at the top of the stairs painting by norman rockwell

Women want to set up a women only gym for safety reasons.

Men want to set up men only gyms in spite of women, not for any actual reasons.

They cant stand the idea of not being able to harass women at all times, of not being able to control and watch women constantly with everything thing we do, its the small interactions that make them feel more powerful.

There are so many males who are angry to see a gym offer a female only space whilst most gyms are male dominated anyways.

Another comment read “I need a mens only gym to prevent women accusing me of staring at her” , many women’s nervous systems can be dis regulated in the gym, for me personally I constantly feel on edge. What a privilege it is for your biggest fear at the gym is to be accused of looking at someone.

But by all means set up your mens only section, I am tired of hearing your huffing and puffing.

“It’s fine if you have a genital preference, just don’t go out of your way to TELL people that!” = “it’s okay to be gay, just don’t shove it in everyone’s faces”

[orangelit]

it’s always like ”what someone else does to their appearance doesn’t affect you”. but it does though. that’s how social norms work. if everyone does [x] then [x] will be expected of me too. and i selfishly don’t want a lower salary for not wearing makeup, for not dying my hair when it goes grey, for not getting fillers.

[fobhjm]

It’s all “humans are social creatures!” And “our actions don’t exist in a vacuum” from liberals, but when radical feminists point it out in a way that hurts the feelings of women who conform to gender roles, suddenly their individualist colors come through

How did they know which babies to smother? How did anyone know who was capable of birthing babies in the first place???

[radfemarchive-deactivated202304]

They magically always knew whose's genital to mutilate

[taramaclaywasaterf]

They’ve always known who to rape. Who to forcibly impregnate. Which fetuses to abort en-masse. Who to burn at the stake. Who to put into menstrual huts. Where to check to see if the hymen is still intact, just to make sure they’re still “pure.” They’ve always known who gets to be written as gods and heroes saviors and providers, and who is written to serve them, deemed sinful, subservient, the downfall of humanity. Who to force to cover themselves. Who to keep from education. Men of every race and religion, across all time periods, have always known who to oppress. Saying otherwise is denying the suffering of centuries of women.

This is literally what people are talking about when they say AI will be used to mainstream widely held bigotry. LLMs are trained on frequency and probability -> straight relationships are more well represented in the dataset -> straight pronouns and terms become the "correct" normal.

This is a form of backdoor bigotry from both normative facts (there are more straight than gay relationships) and well represented bigoted beliefs (men are superior to women).

Combine this with the mass of people inclined to believe (and being encouraged to believe) that if AI says and does something it must be correct

tumblr is ground zero for something i like to call soft mens right’s activism (or uwu mra) and it makes me want to tear my hair out

the main thing to understand about fandom women is that most of them are so sheltered and isolated irl that when someone says "men" they think of fictional characters and not actual men

Men abandoning their girlfriends/wives during mountain hiking in a dangerous outdoor setting became common enough for it to have a name, alpine divorce.

From the article:

The hashtag ‘alpine divorce’ has exploded on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram in recent months, with many women sharing traumatic, sometimes life-threatening experiences.

Conversation has in part been driven by a high-profile case in Austria earlier this year, which saw a climber convicted of manslaughter and handed a suspended sentence after he left his girlfriend alone on Grossglockner mountain, the country’s tallest, as he claimed he went to seek help. She froze to death.

Do. Not. Trust. Males.

[finnishrogue]

This is really, really common, but in its most common iteration, its intention is not to kill you. A lot of the times, it's not even because the man wants to break up with you - it's because this is the moment where you will finally realize you must divorce him.

There are of course men who just hope you would die, as was demonstrated in this particular case in Austria, and they attempt it in a setting like this because it gets much easier for them to blame the circumstances and get away with murder, if you do happen to die.

But the concept of alpine divorce describes all the different situations where a man suddenly storms off from a hike, leaving his girlfriend/partner/wife alone, and of course it could have different motivations. He could want to just make you feel helpless and scared and realize how much you need him to rescue you (so it's an attempt to return the correct dynamic where he's the hero and you're just a damsel in distress). He could want to demonstrate how much faster and stronger he actually is, so you would stop thinking you are equal to him. He might want to embarrass you into realizing how lazy, slow, unfit and stupid you are (and he definitely does not want to acknowledge that his faster walking pace actually comes down to him having taller legs and nothing else). In other words, he is angry with you, thinks he is better than you and he hopes that you would get lost for a while so you could then realize how much you need him and fall on your knees to apologize for your inferiority or whatever the hell else.

Of course, if you do break up with him after that, he can turn it around and call you a lazy, helpless bitch who can't survive on her own, and feel satisfied that he showed you how things really are.

And if you die... I mean, he was "just trying to look for help" and "shouldn't you have been more prepared anyway?"

All that is to say... if you plan on going on hiking dates with a man, you DO have to be the more experienced one. You DO have to be the one that knows exactly how to get out of there, even in your dreams. You DO have to prepare yourself as if you were going alone the whole time. Not because this is an actually normal expectation. But because you cannot rely on males at any stage, ever. Males are not protectors. They are not helpers, they are not heroes, they do not know how to cooperate. They are selfish, irrational and angry chimpanzees who don't have enough brain matter to think about consequences, and in the rare case they do, they still end up doing the same exact things because they think abuse, violence and unnecessarily careless behavior is sexy.

And for the love of everything that is good... if you go anywhere alone with a man for a longer period of time, carry a weapon with you.
