everyone who keeps reblogging those posts about how kinks are just excuses for men to get off to hurting women: y'all are aware that’s radfem rhetoric????
like you don’t have to like kinks but the idea that men are universally abusers and women are deluding themselves into thinking they enjoy it when they’re actually just being abused is straight up ~kink-critical~ radfem stuff and it’s not new. and like I’m seeing a lot of that exact shit on my dash and honestly it needs to stop bc this is exactly how they recruit and I’m done with it
This is how they get you!
Like on the surface, it sounds legit, it ticks all the good feminism boxes. Women are being hurt! By men! Patriarchy!
But if you really look at it, it’s saying that grown ass women can’t make decisions about their own sex lives. Grown ass women need to be protected from themselves because they are too gullible to understand that they don’t actually like kink.
And that’s what a lot of radfem and terf logic boils down to. “You don’t know what you want and need, WE know what you want and need. You can’t be trusted. We know better.”
Sounds familiar doesn’t it? It’s the same patronizing attitude we’ve been fighting forever in Western culture.
“You can’t be trusted with your own body.”
“You can’t be trusted to know your own gender.”
“You can’t be trusted to know your own sexuality.”
“There is only one right way to be a woman.”
Feminism is supposed to be about rejecting all of that, not changing the person making the rules!
