“I don’t want kids so having a uterus is pointless” is the worst talking point I’ve ever seen and truly shows me how much we have failed women in the medical realm.

Did you know though that the uterus has important functions besides having babies? Those functions include hormonal, anatomical, skeletal and sexual.

The uterus works with the ovaries and tubes to produce health promoting hormones- which are estrogen and progesterone. This is why hysterectomy can cause impaired ovarian function or complete ovarian failure. Also, these hormones don’t just help the reproductive system but estrogen has been shown to regulate immune response and increases the brains serotonin. The uterus is the most powerful organ in the body. During sex it is responsible for the intensity you feel in an orgasm.

Ovary removal (castration) or impaired ovarian function has been shown to increase risk for heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, hip fracture, impaired memory and cognition, dementia, parkinsonism, mood disorders, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, adverse ocular and skin changes, sleep disorders, more severe hot flushes, sexual dysfunction.

The uterus has anatomical functions. It separates the bladder and bowel and keeps them anchored in their proper places. Hysterectomy displaces these organs causing dysfunction especially down the road.

Hysterectomy also destroys skeletal integrity since the uterus' ligaments are the support structures for the pelvis. Again, the RS is more than just “having babies” it interacts with the rest of your body and organs.

I know this is a “solution” for things like endometriosis but a hysterectomy with or without ovary removal is not a cure for endometriosis (endo) since endo implants / lesions exist throughout the pelvis. Many women still experience chronic pain even after this procedure.

Hysterectomy is one of the top overused surgeries (90+% are unnecessary) and women are not provided with the many negative effects from gynecologists. Women deserve to be informed and have informed consent. Educate yourself so you can be your own advocate and an advocate for others.

This is the post that just, scared the shit out of me tonight.

I had a hysterectomy in 2019. They left my ovaries, but took my cervix without asking, beforehand.

I was NOT told these things. I did not give consent to part of my surgery, and I did NOT give informed consent to ALL of it - because I was not informed!

Don't get a hysterectomy if you can avoid it, please.

There are other options.

I'm nervous as hell for my future and it didn't have to be this way. Those fuckers lied to my face, brushed over the details, and they WILL do it to you too.

Inform yourself. Protect yourself. God knows what they might have done to me while I was under anesthesia too. It makes me so scared and angry, thinking about these things and what I know now - that I was kept in the dark about before.

We have come full circle. How many more years until selling organs/body parts cause "I dont use *that one* for the in 5th grade bio described context" is another woke hustle?

Isn't this thee cyberpunk dystopia or whatever everyone was afraid of 10ish years back? Human bodies being defined as "just parts" and categorized in 1) needed for survival and 2) no harm done in harvesting that organ/body part.

The failed Sex/Medical education and mis/omitted- information of women's bodies paired with capitalism will certainly work on that. We already have a "surrogate/incubator/egg" market. What's next? The uterus trans/implants everyone is talking about?

Only women are misinformed about their body system in such sinister way. A man would never consider chopping his balls off "cause I don't want kids and that's where the sperm is". And no one would tell him that's all balls are for.

Men sexualize everything because they want to control everything. Men tie their sexuality to control and dominance.

[my-hysteria]

They sexualize our voices to control our speech.

They sexualize our walk to control our movement.

They sexualize the food we eat, the facial expressions we make, our pain - all so we start to internalize it and start to police ourselves.

Male sexuality is rarely about sex. it usually starts away before sex, if you even have sex. It begins the moment you wear make up, or you put a scarf on your head; acknowledging and submit to the sexualized version they have of you. It’s not natural for the sexuality of sex with the least reproductive involvement to be so overreaching.

Men sexualize everything because they want to control everything. Men tie their sexuality to control and dominance.

someone else said it first but i’m forever revolted by the fact that gender clinics and other parts of our medical system define a “functional” vagina as any hole between the legs that a penis can be put in.

[pain--pilled]

This is how society views female genitalia. They don't quite view it as a human organ in all the integrity that would insinuate. They view it kinda like an accessory to dick. It's defined in relation to dick- not defined by its own self. It's viewed as like a negative space juxtaposed to a positive object (dick). It's viewed as like the background to the main character (dick). It's not seen fully as its own thing with its own functions for its own right and its own integrity. Because of this, something interesting happens with the way people view women- we are seen both as sex objects, and as sexless objects simultaneously. This is the heart of why women aren't seen as fully human, in my opinion. Part of being human is having genitalia. Women aren't fully seen as having genitalia.

Anyway. This is why, in people's mind, it makes sense to cut a random hole and say what? It's exactly the same as a vagina what's the difference?

Adding this very important part that was put into the comments by @keepingitreluctant 👌

This is also why it’s NOT equivalent to circumcision. It comes from a completely different ideological place; circumcision is done by men to boys, and whilst it’s also bad, these men are not doing it to remove men’s ability to feel pleasure for the psychological comfort of women. A closer male analogue to fgm would be removing the entire penis - hell, even castration is closer to that. But men love to claim that circumcision is equal to fgm and it just plainly obviously isn’t.

[radfemme-rage]

i can’t emphasise this enough — the 21st century is the first time in ALL OF human civilisation that women as a class are able to survive and thrive outside the confines of marriage

before the 21st century, as far back as historical records go, unless if you were a priestess or a nun, a widow or unusually financially independent, marriage was unavoidable for all women across EVERY SINGLE civilisation and time period

by the time the Agricultural Revolution occurred in 10,000 BCE, males had already introduced widespread rape and the institution of marriage — designed to control women and women’s reproduction, and to ensure that any land and property owned by males were transferred to their biological sons, and their biological sons only

ancient mesopotamia, ancient egypt, ancient greek, ancient rome — all had marriage, and all were deeply patriarchal societies (ancient egypt is often touted as the least patriarchal ancient civilisation, but it was still patriarchal)

if you are an unmarried woman today, who never plans to marry a man:

you are refusing to submit to centuries’ worth — actually, millennials’ — of patriarchal rule that has been pushed on to every. single. woman. and. girl. who. EVER. existed. since. modern. civilisation. began.

[radfemme-rage]

it’s quite straightforward — 4 to 7 billion DAILY ad impressions, from users seeking misogynistic, degrading content of women + children, actually

it’s not sex that sells, otherwise women would be sexually objectifying men, and 18 year old boys would be told that “sex work” is “empowering”

it’s misogyny and pedophilia and incest that does

“teen” was literally the most popular ‘category’ globally for years before pornhub was forced to “ban” that word (obviously, men found immediate work arounds)

fun fact: pornhub was also forced to remove 90% of its “library” (9 MILLION videos) because they couldn’t “verify” that there were no children in the videos… and credit card companies didn’t “want” to work with them as a result (so, basically, it was no longer profitable for pornhub, or the credit card companies, to be posting child sexual abuse material)

[radfemme-rage]

can you believe what a shitshow it’s been? they were literally going to release RAPISTS and PEDOPHILES early because male prisons do not have sufficient capacity to lock up these XYs anymore.

this is how depraved they’ve become.

just kill them, bruh. i’m so serious.

[thetimeisnowsomehow]

If you live with a man he will try to dominate you. He will bring his misogyny home and you will have nowhere to escape.

Women get married for resources. Men get married for the resource of women.

Give them nothing.

[radfemme-rage]

men love patriarchy — religion, culture and homophobia largely negatively affects women, not men.

[innerchildabortionclinic]

I feel like saying "actually, women naturally care less about looks than men" in response to incels is pointless for a few reasons.

• It's not true. Sure, there are studies showing women prioritize other attributes, but couple these studies with a society that was built with the intention of women remaining so subordinate to men that they didn't have the opportunity to prioritize their own desires in the first place until they had financial independence.

• We are seeing changes in dating patterns in societies where women do have more economic power than they used to. These changes include more women dating men younger than them, and a decline of relationships with large age gaps.

• Many men are upset precisely because women have choices now, and because women can subject them to the same standards they subject women to. For this reason, I don't deny standards can be unfair. I just don't feel bad at all--it's a balance.

Basically I truly think a lot of grievances towards women right now are part of growing backlash to social change. Also, a lot of women prioritized independence out of necessity--they saw what women in their families endured in more "traditional" relationships and never wanted to end up in the same situation. This means a lot of women may choose to be single and be fine with it, and men warning them they'll be alone forever does absolutely nothing.

That's my analysis 🤓 ☝️

[sisterofrage]

Reminder that men have a daily cycle that is more emotional and prone to fluctuation than women's monthly cycle. If a man is being fussy, just give him a few hours and see if he calms down.

[kkoffin]

personally i think it might be more effective to solve the whole “less than 1% of rapes are reported and less than 1% of reported rapes ever reach a trial” situation before we worry too hard about how it’s apparently a human right to publicly post and have access to rape porn, and how not being able to shamelessly jerk off to rape fantasies every night without a woman on the internet thinking that’s unbecoming and not ideal is apparently 1984

people were a lot more mad about rape and child porn being removed from steam than they ever have been about the millions of women and children that never see justice due to no fault of their own

Are men inherently violent?

If you are put in the world and everything is divided and classified : animals, plants. Horses, humans. Man, woman. French, Chinese. And the people around you are in a constant cycle of blame, whether it's the communists or the fascists doing this to you. But it's not a political party, or an ethnicity that's causing all the evil. It's the gender. The male. 90% of homicides are committed by a male perpetrator. 99% of arrested rapists are males. Imagine if I said this about any other group? Sure you can say ‘not all men’. but the evidence is in every country and every culture- men are more aggressive, and violent than women in every group. In most mammals males are more physically aggressive than females- humans are not an exception. 

Men have been raping women and children since the begining of humanity. 

Armies raping women in conquered territories has been documented back to ancient Mesopatamia, and continues to more recent conflicts like WW11, Rwanda, or Israel-Palestine Genocide. Slavery systems throughout history have rape and enslaved children. Female child and adult male marriage in every culture? The first ‘rape law’ was in Hammurabi, which treated rape as a big offense to the womens owner (her dad or husband). When Columbus colonized the Americans rape became a tool over the indigenous women, who were not only raped but sold into sex trafficking with survivors as young as 9. During slavery in America the rape of enslaved women by white men was legal.  Call it socialisation all you want, but men are society. What puts you under the impression that over the past couple decades men have gone against their nature thats been consistent throughout all of humanity?

[radfemme-rage]

isn’t it just fucking barbaric that on a near-daily, if not daily basis, the majority of males around you (and a non-trivial portion of women) will be pleasuring themselves to… misogynistic and objectifying videos of women… many of which are literally just rape or pedophilia on tape…

there’s no way of verifying if these “women” (if they’re even women, and not teenage girls or children) have genuinely and enthusiastically consented, and we have way too much empirical data (which no one cares about) from the sex industry telling us that the majority of women who are there are not freely there, and are disadvantaged in some form (financially poor, severe childhood trauma, struggling with mental health, etc.)

“porn” (sexual abuse material) is literally one of those things i will never shut up about. once you see the industry for what it is, there is no going back

leftists are well aware that male supremacy is the original form of exploitation. that it existed in classless societies, that it existed in societies without private property, and that it will exist in their ideal world, too. that it arose globally and independently of cross-cultural exposure. leftists have to lie about this historical fact, because they need women to participate in leftist organizing if they want to defeat their fascist rivals (not enemies—communists and fascists are mere rivals).

the right can afford to be openly male supremacist and still garner the support of women who comply, such as “trad wives.” the left cannot do this. the left cannot successfully pontificate about freedom and liberation while being honest about the fact that they too want women to remain in a subservient set of chains like their rivals do. only the orientation of the chains differ between the two rivals. so, the left has to obfuscate their male supremacist aims so women will still participate in organizing and building the left’s preferred utopia, a utopia that is bereft of social injury to men.

leftists generally don’t say “men ought to lead and dominate,” “women are inferior,” like their rivals do. leftists prefer to be wolves masked as sheep. instead, they’ll say “abolishing capitalism will put an end to patriarchy,” (translation: solve the problems that oppress men first, ignore misogyny, and we pinky swear we’ll help you after we get what we want at your expense), or “feminism is bourgeois” (translation: feminism is the enemy to working class men who want to keep their porn, wives, surrogates and prostitutes).

leftists are not uneducated. leftists do not need to be convinced of 12,000+ years of female subjugation. leftists simply need YOU 🫵🏿 to comply with their preferred brand of male supremacy, so they’ll placate you with falsehoods and platitudes about how feminism must wait, so you’ll be complacent. the reality is they want feminism to wait, indefinitely. men and their apologists are simply acting in the self interests of men. in our society, the only injury is male injury, which is why they will support every movement that improves men’s social status and reject the one thing that will abolish it.

ideally, men must never ever have their sexual access to women be compromised. this contempt for female sexual boundaries and contempt for female freedom from male supremacy animates our entire concept of morality. left, right, center, diagonal, up, down, no matter the political perspective—every movement is a male grievance movement first. only the aesthetics differ, never the result.

my type of carrying on, radical feminism, emerged when an increasing number of leftist women realized these facts of male supremacy—that the right was not our only enemy as women. this is the ultimate rupture of “left-right” liberalism. leftists resist feminism as much as the right, possibly even more, because our refusal to comply with their misogyny is extremely dangerous to the success of their movement. any sort of popularity or sympathy towards real feminism is extremely dangerous to the status quo. leftist men have no choice but to oppose it if they want to keep their wives, their porn, their prostitutes, and their sexual control. the rise of feminism in leftist movements has consistently, globally, led to defections, enabling us to create movements that dared to acknowledge the injuries committed against women. our ability to opt out of their political project after unraveling their trickery has always made us public enemy number 1. tee hee.

this cycle will continue until we as women remember the political bravery and political risk we once exhibited on a global scale. to stop allowing ourselves to be controlled and suppressed by these various male grievance movements. and they are all male grievance movements. even the ones you like!

The male body is capable of experiencing more sexual pleasure bc they can get their dicks sucked while women don't. So having sex as a woman is accepting this reality mentally and that you will never get the pleasure you give back. You're just a servant, empath for the man and have to be satisfied by his satisfaction and that is inherently feminine state to be in.

[my-hysteria]

“Recent anatomical research shows the clitoris contains over 10,000 nerve fibers, while the penis has around 4,000 to 7,700. Because the clitoris is much smaller, its overall nerve density is approximately 6 times greater than that of the penis.”

the clit itself is 6 times more pleasurable when stimulated than the entirety of the penis. Women are capable of feeling more sexual pleasure than men ever will by over 2,300 nerve receptors.
