My lived experience is that I am a woman because I was born female, and it has affected the way people have treated me from the moment I was born. The lived experience of 3.5 billion women is that they are women because they were born female. To try and demand that we deny this reality, our own lived reality, because it doesn’t validate the feelings of a small handful of males who have decided (in the absence of any evidence) that the way they feel must be the way women feel, and therefore they are women, and therefore “woman” is a feeling independent of the body? To demand that 3.5 billion women pretend their bodies have nothing to do with their experience of womanhood because it doesn’t include this tiny minority? That’s gotta be Peak Mansplaining. They are literally mansplaining womanhood to women, projecting their own beliefs about womanhood (warped by their own perceptions and experiences as the oppressor class) onto themselves and onto every woman on earth. How has anyone, especially any woman, been convinced to go along with this?

Although men state pedophilic preferences, their relationships only function when the woman is very much an adult, and takes on most of the heavy lifting and adult responsibilities. Women on the other hand, claim to be repulsed by the idea of pursuing a partner for youth alone, but are consistently “one upping” each other by stating how much mothering they do for an infantile man. Men seek an adult in a child’s body, while women uphold the reverse in their “relationships.” Heterosexuality doesn’t function between equals, especially not psychologically. Both parties put on an elaborate social performance, but behind closed doors, they each embody the exact opposite.

‘Cis people engage in gender affirmation too!!’ Yes those are called gender roles, we used to be able to acknowledge how they’re restrictive and imposed on everyone from birth….

[our-lady-of-cyber]

"gender affirming surgeries are just like cosmetic surgery done by cis people!" Yes and we hate those too

[vintage-bentley]

It’s not actually a good thing that some women feel pressured to get breast implants or that some men feel pressured to get ab implants. It’s not a good thing that gender roles are imposed so heavily and strictly that it leads people to hating their natural bodies for not fitting some standard, and makes them want to surgically alter their bodies. Why are we hand waving this away as “teehee it’s just gender affirming care which is always fine and good and wonderful and completely politically neutral!” Instead of analysing and criticising this?? Why are we being so intellectually lazy and wilfully ignorant?

what men call “logic” is really just a lack of empathy

[sheholdsyoucaptivated]

and what they call “objectivity” is really just subjectivity lacking in self awareness

[paci-fisticuffs]

And what they call “common sense” is usually just a series of social biases that they’ve never bothered to analyze or question.

Men love women’s bodies, we are told, but only after women spend an inordinate amount of time whipping their bodies into a lovable shape—by dieting, shaving, waxing, dying, perfuming, covering with makeup, douching, and starving them.

all good men benefit from patriarchy and the actions of bad men and one clear example of this is the way rape is portrayed — as a creepy male stranger hiding in an alleyway, ready to opportunistically rape a woman

yet, in reality, we know that most rapes involve men raping women they know — their girlfriends, their wives, a female friend or a woman they’ve just started dating

and in the absence of outright physical coercion, it involve tactics such as subtly or explicitly pressuring women into sex, the concept of “maintenance sex”, dubiously obtaining consent through alcohol and drugs, ignoring her “no” to sex until you wear her down and she “gives in”, manipulating a woman into sex, etc.

many “good” men are guilty of the latter, but the idea of rape as a violent activity solely carried out in alleyways by creepy men benefits all men

“it’s not that deep” or “it can’t be rape” if it’s a male partner you trust pressuring you into sex, if you didn’t scream and if he didn’t pin you down, if you eventually gave in to sex, etc.

rape survivors are accused of watering down the meaning of rape if she acknowledges what happened to her at the hands of someone she trusted. feminists are accused of demonising every man as a sexual abuser, when the reality is that a large chunk of heterosexual sexually active women have been pressured into unwanted sex at some point

men can get away with “less physically severe” forms of rape and then gaslight women by saying “at least it’s not rape. look, you consented” when in reality anything less than a woman’s enthusiastic consent is rape

When I told my ex boyfriend that I was against the sex industry and prostitution, his argument was to bring up one of his socially awkward “ugly” friends, and ask me “how ELSE is he ever supposed to get laid?”

That’s the thing about men when it comes to prostitution. They literally cannot fathom a world in which men aren’t entitled to sex. They can’t comprehend the idea that women’s lives and freedom is worth the price of men not getting sex. “Some guys will never get laid though!” I don’t… give a shit? Their dicks can rot and fall off for all I care.

It is imperative that all women (including lesbians, as any gender critical lesbian can tell you) understand that these men’s sense of entitlement to our bodies is directly connected to their societal, if not straight up legal, entitlement to the bodies of prostituted women and girls. (This is something Dworkin mentioned in Right Wing Women!) Libfems keep throwing prostituted women under the bus and saying “go hire a prostitute” and even if that were an even remotely ethical thing to say, it is straight up feeding the very same sense of entitlement he feels toward other women. Sorry

[pseudonaivete]

While straight men’s desire for women’s bodies is often portrayed as an incredibly powerful force, many men’s notorious confusion about what produces female orgasm, their disinterest in providing oral sex to women, and their dramatically narrow ideas about what constitutes a female body worth desiring (waxed, shaved, scented, dieted, young, etc.) suggests that heteromasculinity is characterized by a much weaker and far more conditional desire for women’s bodies than is often claimed.

I can’t get over the mass rape case in France. It disturbs me on so many fucking levels but one thing that has stuck with me is that he was with her for 30+ years before the rapes began. According to the victim (Gisèle Pelicot, who I consider to be one of the bravest people on earth for going public with the trial) she considered her and husband be an idyllic couple. She loved him. And she thought he loved her. For thirty fucking years she was with him through thick and thin and in their late 50s he started raping her. I never want to hear another woman shamed for “choosing wrong”. It can happen at any fucking time no matter how much you think he loves you. This is so fucking terrifying

[radfemme-rage]

one thing i find really exciting is that we’re among the first generation of women who never marry or have children, and with that comes a completely new blueprint

in past generations, virtually every woman was relegated to wife (slave) and mother (the most thankless job in the world) by 25

we’re going to be the first generation of women who can genuinely dedicate our lives to hobbies, travel, intellectual pursuits, meaningful careers, skill building, cultural immersion, fitness, volunteering and female friendships

it’s beautiful — imagine just how much women will be able to accomplish now that we can live life for ourselves, unburdened by marriage, motherhood and a patriarch in our homes controlling us or exploiting us domestically/sexually/mentally/emotionally

and, of course, we will keep fighting until all our sisters globally are freed

do not spout the line 'you are not immune to propaganda' if you just unquestionably accepted ideas of gender. gender is a social construct that should be abolished not reinforced. creating more genders does not take away the oppressive nature. queer culture can be incredibly damaging and misogynistic to women.

Males be like wtf I’m not violent I’m going to violently fucking murder you for saying that
