gender atheist puriteen accused of radical feminism

[meteorem]

every girl i know has had her "I'm not like other girls" phase and we all resent ourselves for it now, but we're not listening to what these little girls were saying. "im not like other girls" is a little girl's desparate cry for help to break out of the male made stereotypes and expectations that she's starting to notice, to be let out of the box that she's being closed into when she starts puberty. she misses the freedom she had when she was a child, when she was allowed to not care about her looks, when she wasn't self conscious of her body and her face, she'd rather be "one of the boys" than be forced to be a woman.

Straight white men really tricked y'all into believing that they're the most oppressed people on earth because they have a fetish for lesbians I'm

No one cares about men's pain because they masturbate to ours.

I know trans “women” are still biological men because they never shut the fuck up and make themselves the center of everything

I need everyone in radblr to go buy urself a copy of "Herland"(1915(?)) by Charlotte Perkins Gilman as soon as possible. Yall do not understand. I cannot believe this isn't like, basic radfem/female separatist literature already.

Same author as "The Yellow Wallpaper", three men find a land consisting of only women which is a literal utopia. The men question their own failures in patriarchal society while the women of this land politely exchange information with them about their own lands.

You have no idea how therapeutic this book is. men casually say "oh no man can do that!" and the women respond "oh, no man? can women do it?" and the men go "oh yeah, also no women". There's also such brilliant regular feminist thinking through the book;

"These women... were strikingly deficient in what we call "femininity". this led me very promptly to the conviction that those "feminine charms" we are so fond of are not feminine at all, but mere reflected masculinity- developed to please us because they had to please us, and in no way essential to real fulfillment of their great process."

Insane for 1915 and such a fucking relief and pleasure to read. I hope all the anons who have asked me about radfem books see this bc yall NEED IT

[kkoffin]

btw if anyone needs a pdf there is one in this radfem lit google drive: **fiction > classics > herland

btw i love you pdf google drive creators. modern day heroes.

Lana del Rey (early work) and Sabrina Carpenter basically did the same thing to achieve success, after unsuccessful attempts to make it big. They picked an immediately recognizable set of visual symbols invoking a specific white female heterosexuality--Lana did her Veronica Lake peekaboo chanteuse film noir femme fatale, Sabrina did... something similar but blonder and with the self-conscious "oopsie-woopsie!" funny horny baby part of Marilyn Monroe's public image--and made songs about the destructive inevitability of relationships with men. Lana sang about rich, older men using and abusing her, surrounded by imagery implying luxury, wealth, and danger. Sabrina sings about male partners disappointing her, being stupid, useless, and frustrating, but craving their attention and loving sex with them regardless. In both cases, the result of the "story" each tells is foreclosed. Yes, men are evil, but Lana will go back to Daddy. Yes, men are useless, but Sabrina will go back to hottie. There is no possibility of declining the heterosexual imperative. For all these reasons calling these works "feminist" is pretty much a joke given the scads of money both have made off their respective images. The culture loves the symbols they use and the narratives they evoke and will throw cash at any woman who can continue to produce this dead-end type of cultural messaging and sell other women the lie that you have no choice but to partner with and center men no matter how unhappy they make you or how much it hurts.

i simply do not respect 'non binary' people. You worked out that gender stereotypes are bullshit but all you took from it is 'i am a special interesting third thing, unlike all you boring peasants'

[tim-moments]

What a weird way to say you view ‘being a woman’ as… being a maid.

"I know this sounds incredibly stupid" That's because it is. Hope this helps

[normalgirlpxrson]

kill all males like actually omfg

[virtualcremefem]

the insanity that I'm supposed to accept and voice his identity when it comes from this sorta place over and over

[kkoffin]

i will never ever get over how brilliantly suited TIMs calling themselves “dolls” is. because yes, exactly! perfect! you are as much a woman as a piece of plastic shaped into a crude replica! a doll is not a woman, no matter how much it looks like one! you could even fool me! but that silicone, plastic, whatever material mould will never be a woman because that’s just the way the world works. fundamentally, just due to reality, a male, or a piece of plastic just is not the same thing as a woman.

it’s literally perfect. they can only ever at best be as “woman” as dolls.

“You’re racist for excluding transwomen because a lot of black women are seen as men!” is just “I’m racist and see black women as not real women” in progressive speak

[shadowfem-deactivated20260123]

Male superiority is such a weird myth. Women live longer and have better immune systems. Women have higher pain tolerance. We *literally create life.* Women are smarter--when schools separate by sex, the girls' grades increase and the boys' decrease. Women have higher emotional intelligence by FAR.

The only thing men have is greater sheer strength, but that might not even be true: studies of ancient women's bones showed, because of all the physical labor they did, they were stronger than today's professional female athletes! Women today are discouraged from strength training, and discouraged from eating enough. I bet the strength disparity would be so much less if we ate better and exercised to our potential...

Anyway, women are the superior sex.

the trans community’s push for children’s transition is deeply pedophilic. the excuse for this way of diving around children’s sexuality and genitalia is that a “trans child” should start transition as early as possible, as not to go through a traumatising “wrong puberty”. they’ve also developed a DARVO response to defend this argument of any pushback: the child is a fully emancipated and autonomous person (pedo alarms sounding) who can make their own decisions about their own body, and if you have any concerns about the risks that cross sex hormonal treatment can pose to a prepubescent child, you are a pedophile for having even a single thought about a child’s fertility and future sexual health. obviously any sound parent would want their child to grow up with all functional and healthy organs with no exclusion of sexual ones, and to have the choice to have or not to have children when they are adults, but it’s not like they don’t understand that. accusations of pedophilia are the new thing to silence resistance. before it was misogyny - not accepting trans women is antifeminist because you’re not accepting all women. a little after that we have the accusation of racism - trans women are made parallel with women of colour on the grounds of being masculinised, how would you know the difference between a black woman and a non-passing transfem? totally same thing, we both dont pass as women!. the accusation of transphobia always has to be paired with another mode of oppression, because they know transphobia on it’s own isn’t legit enough for anyone to bend their knees over. whatever else they call you after “transphobe” is meant to serve as silencing shock value, so that you feel as a failed leftist and submit to their ideology, and it is essentially DARVO, as they themselves are guilty of whatever word they throw at you. unnecessary gender-medication of a prepubescent child is prematurely introducing them to sexuality. the average little girl/boy before the age of puberty has hardly any concept of what puberty is, what effects it will make on their body, even less about the opposite sex, so for a child to know that they want to start their journey towards a sex change means they have been introduced to the concept by predatory adults. all a child can know about themselves, that those same predatory adults interpret as gender identifiers, is what colours they like, what toys they like to play with or what kind of activities they prefer. with our society having gendered all of those things, any outliers of the “boy=this girl=that” agenda must be gender-confused and therefore sex-changed, which is an inherently pedophilic interest in meddling with a child’s body and sexuality.

Women don't do makeup, wear skimpy uncomfortable clothing, break their skin barrier with a bunch of useless "skincare products", shave daily, go under the knife, suffer eating disorders and spend an insane amount of money on beauty enhancements for men. They do it for themselves. But the part of themselves that they're doing it for, is the part that grew up in a patriarchal society which tells them that their natural self isn't enough, that makes them embarrassed to show their unaltered appearance to the public, that tells them they're not woman enough if they're not "feminine". They do it for themselves because they've internalized the man made insecurities that have been pushed on them since birth. "I'd do this even if men didn't exist", we say, but that's only true for the society that we are in. If men were to have never existed, we wouldn't feel the need to go to such extremes for beauty in the first place.

THIS OH MY GOD (ignoring all the terf bullshit tags)

its sad that this is considered 'radical' when its really not

[meteorem]

The start of a peaking 🙏

[sickofthis666]

Society really made me believe for years that if I ran into trouble in public, salvation would come from a man.

But when my creepy neighbor sexually harassed me in the hallway of my building, and I glanced at another male neighbor passing by with growing despair, he ignored me.

When my phone got stolen by a man while I was withdrawing money, the person who caught his wrist, called him out loud and didn’t let go until they got my phone back, was a woman. Not even a physically impressing woman. She wasn’t tall, nor buff. She was skinny and in her 50s, maybe older. I was so taken aback by her nerves of steel that all I could do afterwards was say thank you again and again.

That time when I saw a man dragging away a crying teenager, the first person to intervene wasn’t a man. It was me. Me, a woman alone in her 20s, not tall nor buff either, an anxious mess scared of her own shadow. The men arrived later, in a group.

[starinyourhand]

This shit regularly happens, too. Every single time I have seen a woman in distress in public it wasn't a man that swooped in to help her, it was always always a woman.

[sichorean]

I feel sick

I'm on holiday at a mall and there's a family getting candyfloss, I don't know what religion they were but all the females, even the little girls (5 or 6) are fully veiled

And the little boys are eating candyfloss off sticks together and the youngest girl is crying and stamping her foot because she can't eat hers due to the veil and she has to take it home in a bag

[sichorean]

I can't stop thinking about this because it makes me so mad

Like okay the veil means you can't eat in public. That's wrong, but if it truly, absolutely has to be that way (it doesn't!) then why not make the boys wait too?

We can't they all get their candyfloss in a bag and go home to eat? To make it a fairer situation for all the children?

But no, the boys get their treat right away. And the girl who is rightfully pissed gets her arm grabbed and is marched off for being difficult.

[womenarehuman]

I see this a lot with the more strict Muslim families, the girls are expected to always be modest (veiled or not), so the can't play on public. But their brothers are allowed to do literally anything they want. They can play, they can be loud, they can run off to do whatever, they can terrorize their sisters... But the girls must stay silent and obedient next to their parents and watch while their brothers get anything and do everything they want. It's infuriating.

[aphroditeslesbian]

It just cements for me that no matter what these people claim, about how "actually their religion expects men and women to be equally pious", in reality these practices are rooted in the belief that women are inherently less worthy of basic human connection and freedom.
