Radical, dude

I'm Nani, 20 some years old, radfem. The nerve ending in the back of my womb is plotting.

Ever since the Michael Jackson biopic came out, there's been this flood of content celebrating him and his music. And while I wish I could say it's all astroturfing, the truth is that this is genuinely how people move when it comes to male cultural icons. This wave of MJ defenders seems particularly egregious after the months and months of people asking for the Epstein files. I'm not surprised, but it still makes me feel like I'm losing my damn mind watching people make excuses for him and villainize the victims.

[fallen-fairy-house]

He doesn't have *victims*, Mj was the only one trying to fucking SAVE children from Epstein. This Mj hate is so old.

I find it difficult to believe kids would lie about being raped or sexually abused by a celebrity, there’s nothing to gain from it and they’ll be attacked by fans for the rest of their lives for opening up about it.

[princessterf]

The first child did come out as an adult that his father coached him to lie. The second case the mother had a history of falsely accusing people of molesting her children for her own self gain.

There is now a new family that has come out with allegations and I am curious to see how they move forward with the legal process.

WHIMSICAL CAKES

[g1rluninterruptedd]

i wish people would stop saying this stupid shit, really. children can learn about sex without porn. no it shouldn’t be easily accessible to children. then to call it “mass surveillance” is absolutely absurd

[princessterf]

This is the same shit pedophiles say.

And yes, I'm all for abstinance but at your personal decision. Children learning about sex involves them learning about abstinance also. Should we be pushing abstinance? Should we fear monger? No, but kids need to know the realities of sex and STDs and that's not what they can find in a porn video.

when i was a kid i was so mad all the time bc i thought someday i'd have to be somebody's wife i didn't know it was optional. is everybody reminding the young girls in their lives that it's optional.

[stephexmachina]

AND SO IS BEING SOMEBODY'S MOTHER‼️

[stephexmachina]

it is about being a woman. hope that helps!

[vibrantstarfire]

reading comprehension questions for the notes:

is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?

why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?

core concept: what is gender essentialism?

is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?

look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?

what trait are you perpetuating when you assume that women who do not want to be wives and mothers must be aroace or trans? is it gender essentialism?

Bonus:

[cordycepsfem]

Patrick S Tomlinson signed away the rights to his child and also threatened to kill his pregnant wife, but I’m glad he cares so much about what the “pro-life” crowd thinks.

[gnomebutch]

I hate all these posts moralizing about how it’s not righteous to discuss hurting rapists because you can hypothetically target someone who was labeled a sex offender but didn’t do anything morally reprehensible when most of the time the people saying that are speaking from experience and are discussing their frustrations of wanting the people who personally abused them to die. and yeah sure you can also get into a debate about rehabilitation verses revenge based justice but that’s such a cruel thing to turn the discussion towards when someone said they wish they could have fought back against a pedophile who molested them. or maybe I’m just a sensitive violent freak who knowssss

[uncomfortablecliche]

btw it’s a myth, nobody is on the sex offender registry for public urination. stop letting people repeat that shit

[gloomyrelaxing]

So weird how they try to exaggerate how easy it is to get on the sex offender registry. Like yeah it’s easy if you have a problem taking your clothes off in public. Why do you have a problem taking your clothes off in public?

[aftonfamilyvalues]

I want this person to search through their local registry and see what all of their local sex offenders have actually been convicted of.

[revived-ophelia]

Here, let's see a sampling, New York City sexual offenders registry, scrolling and hitting 10 random names:

That looks like a lot of real sexual violence, about half enacted on children. I wonder why the original poster wants us to approach the idea of convicted sexual offenders with leniency. They say hit dogs will holler, don't they?

[anjomecanico]

If you look at this and still continue with that liberal "sex work is just like any other work" thinking you're simply a fucking monster

[flygoing]

laptop overheating?? pour water on it to cool it down!

[chastittie]

i trusted you

[flygoing]

Do not trust people like me. I will take you to museums, and parks, and monuments, and kiss you in every beautiful place, so that you can never go back to them without tasting me like blood in your mouth. I will destroy you in the most beautiful way possible. And when I leave you will finally understand, why storms are named after people

[four-leafed-queer-gal-deactivat]

THE ORIGINAL?!?!?!?!?!

[sichorean]

Ah I see they have reached the "Finding out" part of the Fucking around trajectory

[izzavi]

Like men everywhere else any “loneliness” affecting men in any way it is not also affecting women is a product of their rancid behavior, when it isn’t also a product of crushing male supremacist societies driving the selection against female people existing

[0atm11k]

Fascinating that not having a flesh and blood human to masturbate into is presented as a larger issue than femicide and infanticide here

[selfimmolationfun-deactivated20]

found a reddit thread which asks users to choose between an incel son and a terf daughter. can you guess which one the reddit users deemed sympathetic and in need of compassion and which one they deemed irredeemable? 🙃

[princessterf]

How many terf daughters are committing family annihilation? I'll wait.

[swanii4]

How brainwashed do you have to be to think rescuing 500+ from being immediately killed is just “a single good deed” when she also donated thousands to women’s shelters, BUT her making tweets that make you piss your stolen panties is somehow comparable to genocide, these people aren’t real, they’re all government psy-ops

You guys could be hating Elon as hard but noo you just have to hate one of the very few decent rich people

also she literally does not care that the actors/producers/celebrities turned on her, she doesn’t need anyone’s validation (unlike TRAs), helping women is much more fulfilling than complying with bathroom dwellers, Radcliffe is a sold out, they’re all sold outs

and I really appreciate just a little radish for being brutally honest on his hate of women’s rights

What has the T movement done for people besides funding Camp Bravetrails among other child expirements?

“terfs dont care about women in afghanistan”

[distantlymagnificentscorpion]

Those are the same type of people who either

A- Were SILENT when neil gaiman had rape allegations

B- claimed the victim was a liar bc she didn't accept gender bullshit

C- said jkr was worst (bc being a terf is worst than being a rapist, apparently???)

D- "he said trans lives matter 🥺🥺"

[phoenix-gal]

from many, many people: "she's spending EVERY CENT on fighting trans rights and committing a literal genocide!!"

You mean the hundreds of millions of dollars for helping orphans (and not just orphans- she's worked with governments to ban keeping orphans in cages and more), women and children and MS patients. Oh, you mean the $70k for a legal fund that says women are biological women and took zero rights from trans people?

And people who repeat that first line believe it so wholeheartedly because they read it online and that means its definitely true.

[dapperprincess]

You’re posting about bread while your mouse roommate drives a kia sorento

[traumagenicfeminist]

Oh wow, a male doing a household task once? Should we throw a party? Should we invite Pedro Pascal?

[vaboreon]

That's exactly what they do.

And when it's not manipulating TIFs by pulling this reversal of "You (a female) should do all the labor for us (males) because you identify as a man and we identify as women, so treating you as a wife is now totally subversive and feminist", it's "you pointing out the division of labor in this household is you calling me a man and hurts my feelings (thus transmisogynistic (thus you're a bad person))" and so on.
