AND THAT DOESN’T SEEM ODD TO YOU

[organic-homegrown-boyfriend]

You mean after harming their victims physically and psychologically, abusers are manipulating them into thinking, what happened isn’t how things actually are? 

[bruneangel-deactivated20211116]

This is called trauma bonding and it’s NOT healthy!!!!! Sex is supposed to feel good. You’re supposed to end up smiling, happy, relaxed, safe, not terrified, hurt, injured, sad, in need of “aftercare”. What the fuck. Pain, torture, abuse can never be a part of an healthy sex life, call me a prude, I don’t care.

Violent asshole: After I hit my wife I always buy her flowers…

Libfems: Despicable!

Violent asshole:… For aftercare.

Libfems: Oh my god #goals!

Ezra Miller will never get the same amount of hate as Amber Heard. He’s done much worse and he’s a MAN terrorizing women and a groomer but all that doesn’t matter because people will dismiss everything you say about him cus you didn’t say his right pronouns. what a fucking joke.

[elenyafinwe]

This post is the living proof that genderqueer people will always get more hate than white cis women, simply because they exist. Cis women go nuts over it and impulsively missgender them. Whatever Ezra Miller has done or not done, at least have the decency to not missgender them on purpose. Misgendering is pure violence, it's a display of disrespect at best and a demonstration of cis privilege forcing a false identity on someone. That URL from OP is very fitting: TERFs are fascists. They shit on minorities and try to erase them on every opportunity.

Ezra Miller is not a man.

[thefemaleterrorist]

you’re just proved my point lmao.

[radafayscage]

In this case I endorse the pure violence of calling that sack of shit a man.

[shinhati]

literally the thing people need to understand is that when media sources cite "sex workers" if you trace those sources they will almost always come back to pimp-run lobbies

[laurierrose]

if biological sex were not immediately and accurately discernible for nearly all human beings, sexism would not exist (no one would know who to oppress or privilege on the basis of their sex) and neither would transphobic violence (no one could be targeted based on their performance of the gender role of the opposite sex)

[drpepper-is-a-woman]

Honestly I totally get why radical feminism is stereotyped to be angry and negative. Acknowledging the ways women have been historically oppressed is a very traumatizing journey for a lot of us. It sort of gives you an identity crisis, everything you thought you knew has a new face. Things that you didn't question begin to stick out and are impossible to ignore.

You start reflecting on all your past experiences and wonder if it happened to you because you were a girl. When you realize boys have a completely different experience than you. Was your father always this sexist? Why are there so many sexualized women in all forms of media? Why are women paid less? Is my mom actually happy? Did my mom go through this too? Do I like these things because I was told that I should? Do I dress like this because I actually like it, is it because I like how people treat me when I wear it? Do I wear makeup because it's fun or because I was told that's what girls my age do? Why do I feel so detached from my body? Why do I feel ashamed for having a body? Do boys worry about their waists? How symmetrical their nipples are? How large or small they are? Are they telling themselves that they'll never find love because of it? Do they pick themselves apart?

It's impossible to make this realization and ignore it. Because once the fog clears you see how embedded misogyny is in the fabric of society it will make you angry. Men love to act like they're victims because they're told not to share their emotions. Women are always told our emotions should be bottled up. We are literally groomed to be submissive, quiet, and decorative. Our socialization makes us objectify ourselves because it makes it easier for men to do it. We keep ourselves and other women in line because of the constant threat men are to us.

Theres a reason why mother and daughter relationships are so complex. They're as healing as they are traumatizing. Theres a profound connection between us. The mother, a victim, victimizes another in the same way. Out of love. Out of fear. For protection. Our mothers try to equip us with the lessons they have learned so we can make it just a little further than she did, and we will do the same with our daughters. Our oppression is so deeply rooted it becomes genetic. Our generational trauma goes as far back as humanity does. That realization changes you.

It should make you angry. The world needs work. Angry people create change.

I just know someone is going to misinterpret this and give me shit about it but here we go.

If you live somewhere were you are going to loose access to abortion, please consider forgoing PIV sex. I am not blaming women who get pregnant, this isn't victim blaming, nor I am telling you to stop having sex. I am just saying that you shouldn't feel like you need to do something that puts you in danger. Your bf/husband should care enough about you to be the first one to suggest it, but even if he doesn't, he should fully understand your reasons. This is also a good test for him.

I am speaking as a straight woman. I repeat that I am not blaming women who get pregnant for having PIV, and I'm aware that there are women in abusive situations.

This is just something to consider. You can have a great sex life without PIV.

[bakwaaas]

idk why ppl act like men don’t gossip, talk shit, be fake, backstab, etc, they literally do all these things it’s just not blamed on their gender

[aftonfamilyvalues]

i hate being on my main accounts because everything is all trans trans trans on that side. even with the abortion shit going on, they still twist it to be about trans people or theyre arguing about the language used. like were going to lose this reproductive right, women are going to be jailed, punished, die, and whatever else. and they only care that people say “uterus haver” instead of women

In the wake of roe being overturned let’s not forget that the leading cause of death of pregnant women is homicide. Not miscarriage, not pregnancy complications, not birth, MEN. Men who would rather kill their partners than take responsibility for their actions.

Now imagine how many women are going to be murdered because of pregnancies they can’t escape from. Pro life is bullshit.

Radical feminism has changed my life so, so, much. It's changed my outlook on all of history and modern day, it's changed my way of thinking, it's changed the way I speak, dress, act... and that wasn't because Andrea Dworkin instructed me to or something, it's because the more I learnt about all the ways that the world had restricted me and all women in ways I wasn't even aware of, the more I realised you know what... I don't need to do this. And I'm so much happier and more confident and more compassionate as a result.

To think that all of that began with seeing screenshots of tumblr posts on Pinterest. Just...wow.

[professionalmenstruator-deactiv]

the muddling between the words “empowerment” and “confidence” has got to be one of the worst things that has ever happened to feminism 

[desertbroadd]

I hate being a customer I hate doing that to someone

[tejuina]

I think the public response to the d*** case is a perfect illustration of what many feminists have been saying for a long time: abuse is primarily a matter of power, not education. there have been so many efforts post-MeToo centered around education–if only men knew what they were doing was wrong they’d stop and if only society knew what abuse looks like we would stop victim blaming women–and now all those teachings are being weaponized against “imperfect” victims.

don’t you know laughing can be a defense mechanism? it doesn’t mean he’s not scared and of course a victim will turn to drugs and alcohol, if you think that makes him violent, you just don’t respect people with addictions and survivors often can’t remember things properly so it makes sense that his testimonies contradict each other.

it’s honestly so discouraging because it seems like years of activism has just served as a case study for men to come up with better PR strategies whenever they’re outed as abusers.

[watermelinoe]

the way this is just. completely false lol
