Radblr always talks about how men are hierarchical, and they are, but I think women are actually even more hierarchical . When you observe an all male group versus an all female group, often times, not always but often times, it seems the female group is more hierarchical.
Humans, both male and female, CRAVE hierarchy. They earn for it. Social dynamics with no clear structure freaks them out too much.
If you are someone who doesn't care for hierarchy, you are an outlier.
as much as I hate to admit it. women as a collective are fucking stupid and uphold patriarchal practices because they believe it's in their best interest
I am following the Gisèle Pélicot case and one thing that has been blatant since it started is that most of the men (15 to 20) who've been accused and called to testify in court have not suffered from adverse consequences in their social circle. Their spouse hasn't left them, they haven't been fired from their job, and their friends and acquaintances haven't cut ties.
Some have even gotten job interviews during the trial. One of the men's spouses decided to have a child with him after being made aware of the situation. Some of these women want to get back with their (accused) ex-partners after this trial ends. Multiple accused men claim they've gotten back in touch with their family after their imprisonment.
I have no other comment to add. I don't really care about women's well-being as a collective anymore because that is what they choose to perpetuate. Men do what benefits them to the expense of others, women rush to defend, support and help them.
I understand your anger OP, but consider that this reaction to the fault of women is yet another example of women lacking solidarity - you are in fact perpetuating the faults of these women. men constantly overlook the heinous acts of other men, like with these rapists. you are 100% right that these men have definitely not suffered adverse consequences in their social circles. THAT is male solidarity in action. I'm not saying that you have to like these women in particular, or even care about them, but it's situations like these where we are presented with the opportunity to overcome the competitiveness and bitterness instilled in us against women as a whole. there's a reason why male power seems impenetrable, and it's because the worst men in your life will still have the support of other men when it comes down to it. we all know this, and women should be acting the same way.
Nope. I don't think that's a good comparison.
Men support other terrible men. Cuz those men still uphold the patriarchy. They might be bad to women but they are still foot soldiers of male power and domination over women.
Men absolutely DO NOT support other men who side with women. And this fear of ostracisation is what makes even the so-called "good men" keep their mouths shut when other men commit terrible acts of violence against women.
THIS is what makes male solidarity impenetrable.
And for women to achieve the same level of solidarity would absolutely include ostracism of women who betray the female cause.
This is what makes the 4B movement so successful. It only covers for other women who are part of the movement. So women know that they either have to support other women, and if they don't, they might not get the support they need when they inevitably get hurt by men.
And even the handmaidens know, deep within, that men can and will hurt them.
Western feminism is too busy standing up for "all women", so selfish women understand that they can reap the benefits of feminist support and efforts even while making life worse for women as a collective. That emboldens them. But we are just not ready for that conversation.
yep.
so many women get literally pissy when i say it but the real people who have been upholding the patriarchy and defending it with their dying breaths are your grandmothers aunts and great great great grandmothers and aunts.
it has always been mothers grandmothers and aunts grooming their daughters to be the perfect slaves. there are basically bangmaid guide books written in the 1800s for young women...by other women.
even now you have women writing how tos on how to get a male and how to properly please a male.
you have the mothers who sold their daughters to males the same age as they are. you have mothers who beat their daughters for daring to speak their mind. you have mothers killing their daughters en masse. mothers grooming their daughters into eating disorders.
mothers aunts and grandmothers are ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY the ones who commit fgm against their daughters.
they are the ones holding their daughters down and spreading their legs. theyre the ones taking the razor. theyre the ones transporting their daughter to these places.
and then you have the mothers selling their daughters into trafficking.
this is just shit that happens NOWADAYS. women have always been perfectly complacent in our own oppression and have even fought against the few women with enough brains and common sense to fight back.
look at anti feminists now. they still exist. all over the world. regardless of how oppressed she is; she is always going to fight to be even more oppressed.
very few women actually do fight the patriarchy. so if you do; consider yourself the rare breed that somehow managed to survive
Women live vicariously through their men I think. They are voyeurs too wimpy to be as evil as they crave so they find a man to do it for them and play accomplice.
This is what has happened through history, but these events are named everything but acknowledged for what it is: heterosexual psychopathy.

Live only for a breath and then they fade
People love saying this when it’s not true in the slightest but god I wish it were
It’s really amazing that these people don’t notice the half naked women everywhere it’s just part of the natural environment to them and they genuinely think we live in a prudish society
can we staple this to the inside of every straight woman’s eyelids or something
No one will want to hear this, but you absolutely have to be somewhat willing to be a victim of DV. Unless you're chained in a basement somewhere (there are exceptions), you absolutely can get out and you can leave, it's just going to be difficult and uncomfortable. Do not let anyone tell you that it's impossible for women to leave abusive situations. It doesn't matter the reason. Money, kids, whatever. It is possible, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
You can rip me a new one for this take, but it's not even mine. This is the opinion of my grandmother who had three kids and took them all from Iran to America when she got sick enough of her husband's shit. The "why didn't she leave" narrative and framing is useless beyond illustrating obstacles. It's time to bring in the "you can leave" version and encourage women to take charge of their own lives.
I hope we find an ending we deserve after all we've been through
Literally ALL FICTION is escapism from this hellhole. We cannot cope with reality, if we didn't have fiction we wouldn't exist. This is a literal proof that the world fucking sucks and living sucks.

A lot of pro-kink/sex positivity/and even LGBT activists pushing for normalizing sex to children and teenagers either don't realize or don't care that exposing kids to sex is a form of child sexual abuse.
I cared for a girl from the ages of 12–14 after she was removed from her mother due to extensive terror and abuse. Her mom was in several open relationships and had zero sexual boundaries with her children. She walked around nude, walked right into the bathroom while they were showering or using the toilet, talking to them about her sex life, answering the phone to talk to her kids while she was actively having sex, etc.
When her kids would act embarrassed or want privacy, she would get outraged and lecture them about how sex was normal, it was fine, sex shaming was bad and inappropriate, etc.
The fact that she was exposing her child to sex showed up in the guardian ad litem report by a woman who worked 17 years as a CPS caseworker and was a practicing therapist prior to becoming a guardian ad litem, and she identified this lack of boundaries for what it was—sexual abuse.
So while I understand that oversheltering kids from sex causes social problems, I do not for one second trust anyone who centers exposing minors to sex as a concentrated social justice effort. Sex education done by trained professionals is fine. Me hearing a they/them with a mic throw on the Jesus camp voice at a Pride event cheering how it's now up to a bunch of adult strangers to "teach" kids about sex since conservatives won't and enthusiastically joke about and describe their kinks to a bunch of minors in the audience is not fine.
I will not forget that little girl saying to me in an emphatic voice "sex was everywhere".
You are part of the problem.
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 花樣年華 (2000) dir. Wong Kar-Wai
bisexuals will experience in a shift in their capacity for attraction and instead of recognizing this is a well documented bisexual phenomenon to the point where there is even a colloquialism for it ("bicycling"), they will instead leap to the classic homophobic "sexuality is fluid"
when you point out the homophobia of their claim, you will get hit with the accusation of being "selfish" because "why should i stop talking about my experiences because it hurts you". i mean the pipe dream of solidarity aside, nobody is stopping you from talking about your experiences. we are asking you to stop fucking generalizing your experiences of sexual fluidity as bisexuals to the rest of us.
furthur to this point: when they frame the conversation as "i know its inconvenient to admit that sexuality is fluid" as if the only reason we are against the claim of sexual fluidity is because its politically inconvenient. mate no we as homosexuals are against universalizing that claim because it is literally NOT TRUE FOR US
Memento Mori. Remember death.
If you're around my age, you have roughly 50 years left. That's roughly 438 000 hours. Not all of those hours will be spent conscious, ⅓ will be spent sleeping. That leaves you with 292 000 hours awake. But not all of those will be free time: some will be spent working. If it's a 9 to 5, 26,8 % of your total time will be spent working. That's 117 384 hours more hours, which leaves you with 174 616 of total free awake hours left. That's 7 276 days, 1 039 weeks, 239 months (using average month length) or 20 years of free time left for you.
And that's when I don't even take into account that you could die sooner. That a car could run you over, or you could develop cancer, or you could just badly fall one day and sever your femoral artery and bleed out.
The point is, the time you have left is actually very limited.
An ask from one of my mutuals regarding if we're getting smarter with every generation left me with the conclusion that the new useful skill in this day and age is to filter information out. So when I encounter information online, I'll try to ask myself: "Given that my time is a finite resource, do I need to know about this?"
Is it true? Is it useful? Is it important? Is it something new or something I haven't yet integrated into my worldview? Is it something I can change or affect? Is it fun?
If the answer to all of those is no, filter it out. The time you have left isn't endless and it's slowly running out.
