this man: I choose the bear because female humans have said mean things to me
a lot of women are peaking on tiktok because transwomen dogpiled one black girl for talking about female oppression (what’s new?) and now that other women are jumping to her defense and pointing out that they never felt like transwomen cared about women’s rights and expected unquestioning fealty they’re just dropping the feminist act all together. in what world does someone who is ambivalent about trans people at worst warrant them wishing death and unwanted pregnancies on them? how are women still doing olympic level gymnastics to defend these men???
these people are standing next to you seething because you’re talking about how roe v wade effects you, because you broke up with your bf when you found out he is in the manosphere, because you said you were feeling bad from your period. they’re going to reddit to post cisfoid death or complain that you made him feel excluded. they won’t ever be on your side.
these dudes are the biggest misogynists on the planet i hope every one of them had to put an M on their passport. (report this post too btw and let’s see if we can really ruin these dudes day)
the OP talking about stealing 4chan humor or gay stan twitter humor...
On that note of permission: you don't need to convince men to believe you. You don't need to debate them. They are not the omnipotent judges of what is Correct or Incorrect. Your beliefs do not need to pass through their approval before you're allowed to believe them. This is another part of female socialization, the teaching that we must engage all debate and convince every male to agree with us before our opinions and experiences are valid. You do not need to prove anything to them.
“woman doesn’t have a set definition” is a very privileged take. you are able to happily sit in a position where you get to act like woman has such a vague definition and you act like this should be accepted worldwide. but ask a woman in a third world country what it means to be a woman and what makes them a woman, and it’ll be pretty fucking obvious. women are oppressed because of their sex and have been for centuries. i’m not letting some males with hurt feelings overrule that because they can’t piss in the woman’s bathroom.
ik pride is all ppl think of when june hits but i also wanna say HAPPY CARIBBEAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH BITCHES ‼️‼️‼️
The situation with Paris Mwendwa on tiktok has been super interesting to watch unfold. I'm seeing a lot of women making videos in support of her, and they are talking about a lot of the things that gender critical feminists talk about. Talking about the physical sex differences, differences in socialization and experience, sex-based oppression, and the way that they feel like that can't speak about these things for fear of being called a TERF.
But they still stick to the assertion that "transwomen are women" and they still will disavow "actual terfs" and radical feminists in their videos despite making nearly identical points. And despite continuing to assert that TIMs are women, they have TRAs in their comments trying to refute their points and calling them transphobic.
It really goes to show that most women know the reality, they just don't say it because they know how they will be treated if they do, and they are afraid that fully acknowledging it will make them a bad person. It seems like this situation is starting to wake some people up, but it will still take more for them to let go fully of the idea they they've been told they need to believe in order to be a good person.
I do have to say that I am enjoying watching people start to peak in real time, even if it's only partially.
Hey it’s actually bad to be disgusted by pubic hair. It’s an entirely normal part of the human body. Hope that helps
the word “woman” was bad to describe us, so people said “female”. the word “female” was bad so people said “afab”. the word “afab” is now bad too (“talking about afab experiences is transmisogynistic”), and you apparently shouldn’t talk about the experiences of “people with vaginas” only, either.
discussing “radical feminism” was bad, so people said “feminism”, but that was bad, too, so people just talked about “misogyny”, but that was a “terf” dogwhistle, so people talked about “gendered socialization” but that’s a transmisogynistic discussion framework, apparently. So where do you go next?
It’s not that the words were offensive, it’s that the power they gave to women to exclusively discuss ourselves and our problems effectively and accurately was. It’s a silencing tactic. We could call ourselves anything as a sex class and it’d still be offensive that we found solidarity. You can’t talk about, find community with, or protect women if acknowledging sex is banned, and you can’t talk about women’s issues if acknowledging sexism is banned.
defence of the sex work industry always feels like “but if we don’t enslave the orphans they might die!!” like orphanages and social support is totally unthinkable and unrealistic, which is hilarious coming from predominantly leftists.
would you deadass argue that we “need” to support child labour factories bc they “keep kids off the street”? we need to legalise child slavery bc surely the only possible alternative legal action is to let them die?
no matter how legalised it is, women will never be safe in sex work. left alone in a room with a random man, even if there are cameras and legal consequences or whatever else, she is in danger. not to mention countless health risks, the reason why sex work can never be OSHA safe.
what do you think would happen to orphanages if we legalised child labour for children who have no support? spoiler alert: the little social support they have would vanish. child labour would become the standard, and vulnerable children’s care is no longer a concern, as people will say “just go do labour. they don’t need support. if they are able bodied then there’s no need for free services for them, they can just go work.”.
when you glaze the sex work industry, supports for vulnerable women vanish. they are left with the supports vulnerable men have, within which women are almost certainly only going to be victimised again. men will say women have no need for support systems because “they have it easy, just be a prostitute!”.
this whole “sex work keeps vulnerable women off the streets” attitude will only result in more women forced into prostitution as both supports prior and support to get out of sex work vanish.
TRAs will call you bioessentalist and then proceed to sincerely say that there’s a difference between male and female brains which impacts what gender stereotypes you prefer
PEAK thread- people who peaked recently within the last two years- can you share your experience and what sent you over the edge. I’m curious
Rightwingers/conservatives/Republicans/tories/etc can't be TERFS. Right wing ideology is fundamentally opposed to radical feminism. They can be gender critical, sure (though I would argue they are quite the opposite of that). And they certainly can be and most oftentimes ARE transphobic. But it is impossible to be a radical feminist and right wing.
Rightwingers, conservatives and Republicans who call themselves gender critical are so stupid because what are you critical of? Trans ideology? Okay, are you going to stop dressing your daughter in pink dresses and stop telling her she'll make a great house wife while you tell your son he'll be a great musician/astronaut/teacher/lawyer whatever? Are you as a conservative/republican/right-wing woman going to stop shaving since there literally no valid or health benefiting reason to do so? No? You're going to continue doing the traditional misogynistic gender roles while you call out trans people for doing the same thing you're doing but opposite? Okay then....
is this supposed to make me support sex work. this further proves that the industry preys on desperate and vulnerable people. the answer to this issue is getting better support networks and welfare systems put in place, not enabling prostitution.
sorry gotta get my ‘friend that’s too woke’ on but I don’t think the solution to misogyny is more misogyny. like by all means rip into republican/right wing women but your critiques should be about how they’re evil soulless people not ‘haha they’re ugly/visibly aged. they don’t know how to put on make up!’ like i don’t fucking know man I don’t think any woman at all should be required to wear makeup or be made fun of for not wearing it ‘properly’ also let’s stop doing the ‘not conventionally attractive = morally bad’ thing. that last part especially be kicking y’all asses.
For anyone wondering, this stands for: Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls/
Two Spirit/Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Trans/ Queer/Questioning/Intersex/Asexual/Plus
So basically a bunch of unrelated causes lumped together because "we're stronger together" but in practice it just means people's eyes glaze over and Murdered women are ignored while we talk endlessly about the feelings of men who want to use women's bathrooms.
We have a serious problem with MMIWG on the rez and in northern MN. Tons of women end up trafficked and murdered. These women aren't taken because they're nonbinary or they have a gender or they're x y or z. They're taken because they're Indigenous. When you try to lump everything under the sun in with MMIWG, you open the gates for people to entirely ignore the I part.
Shameful.
I think the idea the female liberation comes entirely from personal choice is stupid and short sighted. I think there's a ton of personal choices that a woman can make that will improve her life in a number of ways, but not every woman is going to exclusively make choices that you personally agree with and many times women who want better lives make "bad" choices so she can experience "good" outcomes.
A woman who wears makeup and heels at work because she won't get promoted unless she does isn't a class traitor. She's a female in a male supremacist society doing what she thinks is best to survive and at a certain point you have to decide if female liberation is for all women or only pure women.
Women aren't oppressed because we choose oppression, women are oppressed because men choose to oppress us.
I know that there are a lot of women who will vehemently disagree with me when I say this, but there needs to be a space in discussions about female liberation for all females, not just pure females.
There needs to be space for females who transition, females who practice religion, gender conforming females, anorexic females, het partnered females, female who choose sex work despite theoretically having other options, females with lives you don't understand who make choices you despise, because it's our liberation on the line too.
You don't have to agree with us, but you have to let us speak. Our lives matter and we're trying our best in a world that hates us. If you silence every woman who doesn't live exactly how you want her to live and doesn't make every choice you think you would make in her circumstance your feminism isn't for women, it for you and only you and you cannot choose your way to liberation; you can only isolate yourself.
Because that's exactly what will happen, once you kick all the impure women out, you will be the only woman left and you will be alone.
The more I think of myself as just another animal, the better I feel about my body. Yup I have breasts, I'm a sexually mature female human. A caribou does not feel bad that her antlers have grown in. I eat, I am an animal. No other animal on Earth feels shame at the thought of eating besides humans. A mouse does not worry if her face is asymmetrical, a lizard does not attempt to take up less space, a boar does not think about her body hair. Dysphoria can only ever exist within the confines of a human society. Who made you feel so bad you felt the need to self implode? A person? A collective? There's nothing noble or profound about self destruction, even single celled organisms want to live.
This is so fucking well saaaaaaid I wanna reblog it 50x in a row. I wanna tell every girl and woman with gender dysphoria this and have them understand it and take it into their souls.
I identified as nonbinary for a few years as a late teen/young adult and dysphoria was eating me up. What helped me most was shedding the religious idea of a soul. You're not a mind or soul inhabiting a body... You are your body. Your body is you. You're not a little alien inside your brain spaceship, calling the shots from within a vessel.
Your vessel is you. Your fingers are you, your legs, your ears, your organs, all of your body is you. The disconnect from physical reality is instrumental in the setting in of dysphoria, the disassociation from human existence through interpreting your body as separate from you is the foundation on which dysphoria is built.
Also... Would you hate other women for the same so called "sins" or "mistakes" or "flaws"? Would you extend the same lack of empathy to someone else? Would you judge someone else for eating when hungry? Would you think another woman less womanly because of external factors? If not, why would you be an exception?
Patriarchal ideals use this separation of women from humanity to distance us from each other and ourselves. Womanhood is not a performance, no more than being a giraffe is a performance.
Your humanity is intrinsic, nothing you could do or say can separate you from being a human being. And human beings are animals. We are just like any other animal, and that is not a bad thing. We are a part of the world, and we belong simply because all humans have the right to exist, just like any other animal has the right to exist.
