If homophobia makes you feel ✨validated✨ you're not gay

If misogyny makes you feel ✨validated✨ you’re not a woman

[queen-mayhem]

I cannot remember where I saw it but the line “men pay women to look and act like that to convince you to do it for free” lives rent-free in my head 24/7.

it was referencing porn stars, I think, but I think about it constantly wrt beauty standards of all kinds. a small number of women get paid to look and act like that, to convince the majority of women to look and act like that for free. or, more accurately, to pay to look like that.

I’ll post it again when I find it.

Using their privilege where it benefits them, playing at womanhood when it's fun

[probablyaterf]

die :)

[themindbunker]

Notice how the response isn't, "wow, this really helped me understand that things are harder for women, so now I've decided to fight sexism in the workplace!" but rather, "how can I maintain the status quo and use my male privilege to my advantage while also attempting to appropriate women's experience?" Gotta love how very male this type of screwing others over is. Reap all the benefits of male privilege, then go home and try to suck everything you can out women, too.

I’ve only ever heard “girls mature faster than boys” as an excuse for shitty behavior from young boys and as a reason for creeps to sexualize underage girls. It’s literally never been for our benefit.

Just say what you really mean: “Girls mature faster than boys, so boys are actually allowed to be children and girls aren’t.”

[invulvainfernum666]

Girls only mature faster than boys up to a certain point, so that only makes it shittier. Besides, some people act that instead of a few years gap in maturity between girls and boys, girls literally grow up fully by the time they’re 16 and “hit the wall” soon after. Sounds incelish but a lot of men hold that belief.

[pinkgreenbreeze]

I hope lesbians know that they’re in danger. Young lesbians especially are going to be correctively raped systematically and no one would care because that’s woke now. I hope you all know this

[chronic-yonic]

Yep, the default and reference point is *man* to describe and define *woman*

[beeperbopper]

This is happening literally everywhere. My fencing group recently compiled anecdotal/survey data about award levels and labeled them as “male” and “non-male” as the two categories. It’s horrifying.

[there-was-a-girl]

Wtf is happening here? Non men loving non men?? Do people not see how sexist that is?! How treating male as the default is upheld by this language? How easily women and female homosexuality become taboo and unnameable once more? How lesbian as a term comes to mean evil terf feminazi bigot transphobe? When it’s just…a descriptive word for sexuality. But women loving women, bi or lesbian is now old school? Because people want to confuse sex and gender id? Again sexuality is not related to gender id at all. Lesbians are female homosexuals. Someone whos gender id is nb and they are female and only into other female people (whether women, nb female people or trans men only)…that’s lesbianism. Gender id or presentation is irrelevant to what sex you’re attracted to.

[lesbian-lizards]

I’m honestly at a loss at how people can say this and not realize how blatantly misogynistic/lesbophobic it is. It literally sounds like they’re joking but they aren’t.

[radfemarchive-deactivated202304]

Interesting how the average person needs to be shown countless studies, surveys and statistics to (maybe) start considering porn as an evil woman-hating industry, like “teen whore gets what she deserves”, “forced oral” or “latina abuse” doesn’t ring any bells

[radicalblossoming-deactivated20]

feminism is a female-only space

[in-all-conscience-deactivated20]

And thus isn’t an equality movement.

[radicalblossoming-deactivated20]

Correct. It’s a liberation movement.

[now-exiting-fuckability-deactiv]

Making women equal to men would be a step down. We aren’t out there committing 90+% of violent crime. We want our place in the world that men have stolen through terror and violence and systematic control.

halsey is now a she/they because she didn’t feel like a “girly girly fertility goddess” during pregnancy

[frogberryshortcake-deactivated2]

I’m so fucked up over the fact that eating when you’re hungry and sleeping when you’re tired are gendered traits to Halsey. More specifically, unfeminine traits. I am upset 🤠 We are living in hell 🤠🤠🤠👹

[vitunkansa]

So women don’t eat? Women don’t get hungry? Women don’t get tired? Women are not humans?

No appetite, no desire, we are but vessels with gentle yearning to be filled

All I have to say about a full grown adult RICH woman coming out as trans in 2020 and using sensationalism in her “coming out” letter to paint herself as being in some kind of fear for being in a risk fictional group is.... I whish I had this amount of free time and lack of real problems so I could spend my time having pseudo epiphanies, but then again I wouldn’t embarrasse myself like this and contribute to the symbolic extermation of lesbians

[louisagay-alcott]

it feels like all it took was just one post and elliot page was never ellen page, never a lesbian OR important to lesbians, especially young lesbians, all over the world. like she was never ellen page, like there’s some sort of swift, silent gloating coming from practically everyone at the idea that “he was never a woman”. it’s heartbreaking and this is what losing someone to look up to feels like

[tehbewilderness]

Can you mandate belief? Can you codify into law the idea that some people can mind over matter themselves out of material reality and into the opposite sex and must be treated accordingly? It is like transubstantiation. A belief that no one actually believes. Will you allow people to drug and mutilate children based on this belief that no one believes?  How will you punish the heretics?
