not the fun kind of feminist

The kind of angry second-waver your boyfriend warned you about. Regrettably bisexual. We are the granddaughters of the witches they couldn't burn and the remnants of women with the strength to survive male tyranny across millenia. Rise as one.

Doesn’t it make you feel bad to be so full of hate?

Like, don’t you see how you people give feminism a bad name?

I’m genuinely curious. I’m not trying to start an argument here, I’m just curious if you people know how.. hateful you people sound. If that’s even a good enough word to describe it.

You know whats hateful?

Hateful is when a ten year old girl gives birth to her uncle's child

Hateful is when a teenage girl is hooked up to a feeding tube, because everyone told her it would be better if she starved herself

hateful is a woman face covered, her eyes covered, her hands and her hips all all of her humanity hidden as if her existence were impure , hatred is prohibiting her from feeling the sun on her skin

hateful Is when men look for confirmed raped and murder victims to jerk off too

hateful is when the top search in pornhub is incest, pedophilia and rape, hateful is when men orgasm to women being choked, sodomized, while crying

hateful is the 80,000 women killed a year, for the crime of being women

hateful is b*tch c*nt and wh*re being the last things a girl hears before shes is brutally taken out of this world, hateful is laughing these words off as not a big deal

hateful is mutilating the genitals of a five year old girl, hateful is watching her squirm and cry while you cut her up, thinking about the feelings of the man who will rip her open

hateful is forcing a woman to give birth, hateful is turning a human being into an incubator, hateful is prohibiting women control over their own fucking organs, their own fucking lives.

hateful is rape.

hateful is women only having 'equality' and rights, in 8 countries. on earth, total. out of 195.

Hateful is making god, the creator male, hateful is making very system of belief around women as a resource, women as second to man, women as a birth giver and nothing else. hate is removing women from the divine and the powerful

hateful is male criminals in womens prisions, hateful is solving their rape with condoms, hateful is letting it go on, hateful is sacrificing women's safety for male egos, hateful is destroying rape shelters, hateful is defining women by front holes and uterus havers, hateful is mutilating them when they dont conform, hateful is young lesbians being groomed to sleep with men, lest they're bigoted. hateful is defining women as a sex doll, as a gender role, as femininity, as a personality.

hateful is menstrual huts, hateful is letting women die of hunger, poison and cold, hateful is saying menstrual blood makes them impure, inhuman. hateful is saying being a woman is karmic punishment.

hateful is driving needles up a baby girls skull, its drowning her in milk, its leaving her out for the wolves. hateful is seeing a girl be born as a curse, its killing her upon sight.

hateful is binding a seven year olds feet. breaking her bones, and smashing them together, its locking her up, never be able to walk or dance, will never be able to play, for men, for men to fuck her, for men to own and want her. an object, a status symbol.

Hateful is purchasing a womans body to use, as a toy as an object, hateful is seeing a young girl, starving, and putting your dick in her mouth, hateful is defending this, hateful is purchasing rape, hateful is advocating for it.

hateful is removing women from history, hateful is writing your name over their accomplishments, hateful is to ban them from reading from writing, from learning, from being human, hateful is never letting a woman touch the world, hateful is locking them up, never to be seen or heard

hateful is burning her at a stake, hateful is lobotomizing her, hateful is locking her up, its the straight jacket, the asylum.

hateful is cutting her open, is shaving down her bones, is injecting poison into her face, oil into her lips, inserting silicone into her body, its sucking out her fat with syringes. trimming her stomach, burning her skin.

hateful is demanding were nice. hateful is demanding that we smile. hateful is being annoyed we dont care about your fucking feelings while were being brutalized, hateful is pretending feminism has anything to do with 'looking good', hateful is coming here pretending youre innocent to ask why im not sucking your fucking dick while talking about the dehumanization of four billion human beings, souls, people. WOMEN.

you know whats not hateful? calling this shit out. I feel great, I felt the best I've ever felt being so 'hateful' about the hatred of women. I no longer look the other way, I no longer rack up my brain for explanations, and excuse, I no longer get caught up in the performance of being nice and giving feminism a good name and instead focus on getting shit DONE.

if you wanted nicer women, you shouldnt have fucking killed them. now shut the fuck up and stop pretending you ever gave a shit about women and feminism. people like you are happy to jerk off while the world burns as long as you 'look good' while doing it.

Die.

I really hate when some posts make the rounds on radblr about porn that include screenshots of porn. I’m trying to live a porn free life I know you’re trying to make a point but I actually do not want to see a woman’s ass out in a school uniform as she’s being held down by a man, no matter what awesomely feminist thing you have to say about it. same with images of brutalized women. use your brain 💁‍♀️

[rad-into-radfem]

I thiiiiink this is aimed at me for my last post (unless I'm being a bit of a narcissist here) so let me explain my reasoning behind using explicit images to support my point: in terms of impact, nothing is more consistentently convincing than visceral, honest proof of what is going on. There's a reason that Germans around concentration camps were forced to physically reconcile with evidence of what had happened - seeing the truth, laid bare and unaltered, forces people out of a state of wilful ignorance and into accepting reality.

I know good, kind people like some of the radfems responding here are likely to be upset by these images, and it made me feel repugnant to post them, but if they reach more casual observers who might benefit from a short, sharp punch in the teeth then they should be more likely to form an emotional response that lays the groundwork for critical thinking. It was physical and unwavering evidence of men's disregard and hatred of women that formed my personal beliefs and while you may not like the method, I'd argue that as we're on the same side aiming for the same outcomes you should at least consider its usefulness.

I'm aware that these images might trigger people and for that I'm sorry (I'm a rape/link survivor myself) but there are things all over radblr that I find hard to deal with that I can still see add value to the conversation. For example, as someone in eating disorder recovery all the wlw 'perfect woman' posts of gorgeous, thin people can make me want to start binge/purge/starve and cutting again, but as they help some feminists to celebrate their sexuality I know that on days I'm likely to want to peel my skin off after seeing them to skim past!

Hope this helps to clarify. I'm not going to apologise (because it's a socially conditioned female response and I don't think I'm wrong here) but if you'd like to debate this further, I'd welcome that.

As always, solidarity sisters ❤️

[shesay-deactivated20250513]

Yeah women can do whatever they want and be a stay at home wife. But I'm well within my rights to criticize it too. I've seen more than enough nonsense that happened to my mom, to her friends, to the women at the woman's program my mom used to go to, to know that being a house wife is such an insanely vulnerable position that's often taken advantage of.

You can become disabled and your husband leaves. He can steal your savings and marry a 16 year old in another country. He can block you from ever getting a job so you have to depend on him while also refusing to pay jack shit so he can bleed your savings dry. He can abuse you/rape you, he can cheat on you with multiple women and you can't leave because YOU have zero safety nets. There's a huge gap in your resume. You may not be as educated for what jobs require now vs what they did 20 years ago.

And even if all of that doesn't happen and it some how magically turns out okay. You're still isolated. Taking care of your kids, your infantile husband. No time for your friends or education or passions. You become a shell of your former self and when your picture perfect family structure falls apart you end up a hollow shell of your former self. You don't know who you are because you gave up yourself in order to constantly give to idiot shit bags who don't appreciate you.

And when you die. They won't remember you more outside of a "mother and wife".

What a miserable existence. And I've seen all of it happen irl.

Tradwives always act like "it'll never happen to them" men always say "don't marry a bad man" but they don't know that's what everyone says and they still end up in the same situation regardless. People change. People show different faces when they're at home/out in public.

Its so fucking ridiculous. People who preach about the ""good old days" forget about their grandmothers having secret savings and hiding her jewelry in case something bad happens. Or your mother hoping you'd be the first woman in the family to have a college degree. There is a reason!!!! They don't want their daughters to experience the same thing.

There is no "baking cute cakes all day" or fantasy feminine 1950s housewife dream. Its a lie. The sooner you wake up. The better.

Sorry about the rant but it needs to be said.

ur so brilliant literally.

[rad-into-radfem]

I'm fundamentally skeptical of men who want a housewife tbh

[rad-into-radfem]

Out of all the depraved, pathetic bits of brainrot that scrotes have unleashed on the world, DDLG and bimbofication have to be some of the worst.

Read it and weep/vomit.

Fuck these groomers and fuck anyone who justifies it as 'just harmless fantasy'. For extra context, some of the blogs I got this nightmare fuel from were supposedly run by 16 and 18 year olds.

I remember reading Ariel Levy's Female Chauvinist Pigs at about 15/16 and thinking 'this is as bad as it gets in terms of us trying to own our own misery'. I'm at the tail end of my twenties now and the scale of the insanity is almost beyond comprehension.

The poor models at Louis Vuitton.

Update (07/11/14): This blew up and there were a lot of comments on the post and people messaging me to ask what happened. Since I’m not a runway model, I decided to ask one. I asked Kayley Chabot (whose résumé includes more than 100 shows in the four fashion capitals) if she had ever had to deal with uncomfortable shoes during fashion month, and here’s what she told me:

“The shoes are undoubtedly the worst part of fashion month. I’ve gone down the runway as my feet have been bleeding and torn apart from ridiculously small shoes. Almost every show I’ve ever done, the shoes have been much too small, either cutting off circulation and molding your foot to the shoe, or blisters and blood everywhere. Generally at the end of fashion month, I don’t recognize my own feet. They’re covered in blisters, cuts, everything. So yes, all of our feet look like that by the end of the month! (If a girl’s eyes look rather glossy during a show, she’s probably holding back tears.)”

So there you have it. Runway modeling may seem like a walk in the park, but it sounds like it can be a pretty excruciating, blister-filled walk.

[kittiesatemypronouns]

A couple of these look like sprained ankles that they still have to walk on (upper and lower right).

[catlogicdefiesall]

Everything about those photos is horrible.

[radmenace]

it’s not just the models suffering. these are the shoes these companies are going to sell to women to wear to work, parties, dates, shows, etc

[rad-into-radfem]

Liberal feminism: for everyone, but women! 🤮

Why won't these women realise that there's no amount of sucking up to men that will protect them from the whims of men, both individual and as a sex class? Why is it women's job to look after men's emotional well-being?

[rad-into-radfem]

What offensive things do the majority of women do that is unknowingly (or knowingly) hurtful?

Boo boo, they're the REAL victims ladies!

Men! What are they good for?

'"creepy" is about 20% of the n-word' oh fuck off you creepy, racist scrote

[hidetothink]

i hope whoever hurt you and fucked up your morals gets whats coming to them. cause something happened for you to be this transphobic. and im sorry. i honestly am sorry.

No one hurt me anon, or well, those who did aren’t the ones who led me to my current beliefs

I grew up in a small suburban, midwest town that sat right next to open farmland. My family enrolled me in a Christian school I attended for 15 years. Meanwhile, any other social interaction was at a traditional evangelical church. They hurt me. They made me believe I needed to bleed the gay out of myself, or beat it out, or cry it out. Those scars are with me forever, but they didn’t lead me to my current beliefs

When I left my religious background and fully accepted myself as a homosexual, and the goodness of that love, I swung hard left. I spent my whole life fighting the urge to just accept myself and LGBT people. Now I was free to drown myself in queer theory, so I did

I joined an LGBTQIA+ organization, I even ended up a leader. I fully affirmed the gender identity of my friends and fellow members, even going so far as to affirm that heterosexual male members could be lesbians and needed special attention in the community. I identified as nonbinary after 20 years of HATING the idea of being “a man, ” and a growing discomfort with my male body

When cotton ceiling rhetoric came into my life though several “gay trans men” complaining about homosexuals being disinterested in the opposite sex, I ate it up. I talked with my friends about how there must be truth to their statements. There had to be something done. Gay men needed to change

So I went back to my roots

I spend a week back home, in the same house I beat myself in as a child, and just went back to beating. I spent hours reviewing photos, SFW and NSFW of trans men. Famous trans men. Everyday trans men. I pushed myself to look past my “prejudice against trans people.” I tried. I genuinely tried, anon. But nothing happened

I called my best friend, sobbing. I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t get me bigotry to go away. I begged him not to judge me. His only response was asking “WTF are you doing!? You’re literally doing what you did in high school!”

And I was

I was pushing and pushing, trying and failing to find sexual attraction to female persons. And why? Because they identified a certain way? Because they were more masculine than traditional female persons are portrayed? Because they were attempting to pass as male?

The queer community hurt me, anon. I don’t know how long those scars will last, but even if they do, they still aren’t why I believe the way I do today

Do you know what community was the ONLY group willing to support me fully in my sexuality? The only people who answered my question, “Can I just be attracted to the same sex…and never the opposite sex?”, with a resounding YES were gender critical lesbians

When I asked people if I could, morally, be a homosexual, the only people who supported me were lesbians

I read what they had to say, why they believed the way they did, and slowly I’ve come to believe what I do now:

-trans people deserve equal rights to housing, medical care, work, and all the other aspects of civil life which they are often barred from or given unequal access. Trans people deserve the same access to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness that I think all humans deserve

-Dysphoric people should be given full and accurate information about their options for living a complete and happy life. Some of these people will transition and they shouldn’t lose equal rights because of that

-Children, however, should not be given body altering medications which lack proper testing and which cannot be easily reversed. Not when these children cannot fully understand their situation, not when misogyny is a leading issue that’s failed to be addressed, not when so many of these GNC kids will be gay and castrated by the process, and not when there is such a high likelihood for these children to detransition later in life

-Sexuality functions on the basis of sex. Lesbians are female homosexuals. Gay men are male homosexuals. Homosexual means exclusively same-sex attracted, and as such, gay people are not compatible with members of the opposite sex, regardless of attempts to pass as the same sex, regardless of gender identity, and regardless of willingness to try and change (like my past self)

-Intersex people are not a third sex, or proof of a sex spectrum

-Female only spaces need to exist. Women are oppressed as a class based on their female sex

-Gay pride and the gay rights movement were started by and for homosexuals. Homophobia exists and functions because of hatred for same-sex love and the absence of opposite-sex attraction

-Etc.

If these are the beliefs that make me transphobic…I can’t care anymore. These beliefs were formed by critical thought, research, empathy, and time. They are not sticking to me simply because of past trauma

If someone is able to provide evidence that my beliefs are wrong, I will relent. That’s what happened when I became an advocate for queer ideology. And its what happened when I became gender critical

However, despite every moment of doubt that has led me to reevaluate my gender crit beliefs, I remain convicted on these issues. I am interested in defending the needs and dignity of homosexuals. I am interested in being an ally to female persons, partially my lesbian sisters. If that’s something you believe I should heal from, I’m not interested in anything you have to say

[hidetothink]

This story is why I created my blog. I had to literally hide from my “community” to even think for myself and unpack the homophobia I experienced at the hands of “trans lesbians” and “gay trans men”

Think for yourself

Think critically, no matter how sacred your beliefs or how unquestionable they seem

No belief system, even my own, is above critique. I beg you to think deep and long about what you believe about gender and sexuality, even if and when we disagree

I have bad taste in men. You have bad taste in men. Everyone has bad taste in men. When it comes to men, you can't have good taste. Liking men is inherently having bad taste in men

[biandangry]

"trans people don't threaten women, you're delusional" ok

[radicalfleur]

the media truly does not want women to be conscious of their own safety. instead they will push the concept of 'real' rape (stranger, dark alley) so much in our own faces, even when most rapes are committed by someone we know, and then they call women irrational or crazy when we take the necessary precautions when we're outside or if it's dark. it's not your father/ uncle/ boyfriend, but it is. it's not all men, but it is.

[rad-into-radfem]

And some of the more WokeTM men have now come up with the radical hot take that, because most rapes are committed by someone women know, taking care and being conscious of men outside the home or after dark is hateful or racist or transphobic!

Don't mind me, but I'm not going to start being cautious around All Men because Some Men told me I had no need to be. They have a vested interest as a sex class in manipulating us into putting ourselves in risky situations, where they can then blame us for what happens because 'you should have known better'. Funny how 'common sense' is only 'common sense' when it's convenient for men!
