@radicalbutter
can y’all report this dumbass for spam i can’t even shit in peace bruh
If they truly believed that “trans women” were women, they wouldn’t have this reaction. They’d just go about their day and assume this blog includes males. But they know that “trans women” aren’t women and they know that the majority of people also know this.
idk why this was even a debate! Anyway, nice to see some common sense being implemented
Not to be a freak but why isn’t anyone into being.. gentle and not evil in bed
Also why is it that sex that isn’t wildly misogynistic or otherwise sadistic and borderline/actually abusive is immediately referred to as “boring”??? What does that say about you as a person?? What does that say about our society?? Also tmi but to be honest if things get too rough my body literally goes numb anyway. The lack of nuance in sensations is boring to me like the what fuck has porn done to people???? The definition of modern “exciting” sex is just beating someone and at least hinting at some sick parody of rape. Just because you have a boner doesn’t mean it’s any less fucked up.
In the 1980s, when many women were graduating with professional degrees, anger against women crackled the airwaves [popular culture recast tender, intimate sex as boring]. We saw a stupendous upsurge in violent sexual imagery in which the abused was female … In a world where both sexes’ guilt and angry fear surrounded the sense that women were getting out of control, the public quickly lost interest in ordinary unharmed nakedness. Presented as more compulsively engaging to the attention of men and, eventually, women, was imagery that played out anxieties from the sex war, reproducing the power inequality that recent social changes had questioned: male dominance, female submission. Female nakedness became inhuman, ‘perfected’ beyond familiarity, freakishly like a sculpture in plastic, and often degraded or violated.

Hold on there's another one
Hear that, they're complaining that the rape and death porn they jerk off to doesn't look real enough
"OP is a TERF! 😡"
"Btw where's all the videos on the abuse and death of women? It's really hard out here for us innocent porn addicts. 😭"
If I’ve learnt anything from my contact with the bdsm community, the poly community, the geek community and the atheist community is that any social group who claims to “not to be like other groups” and to be"accepting and safe for all" is going to spend a lot of energy hiding the predators within the community and silencing abuse survivors.
if i could only reblog one post, this would be it.
if nothing else, its a basic tolerance paradox: if you are tolerant of everyone, you will eventually become tolerant of intolerance. if you are safe for ‘everyone’ you are by definition safe for predators. its actually really good to discriminate and put rules and lines in the sand down, and expel people who break/cross them.
if the Hunger Games were real you know you'd have liberals saying things like "it's so cool how the Hunger Games allow anybody a chance to win, it's so democratic" and "it's great to have some District 12 representation amongst the winners of the Hunger Games" and "we need to make sure that young girls receive just as much Hunger Games combat training as young boys #feminism"
What the fuck? I can’t believe anyone is still watching this garbage. Not only is this misogynistic; it’s stupid and bad writing. How much money has been poured into this man’s sick fantasies? Meanwhile there have got to be so many brilliant writers out there whose stories we will never know
we’re getting to the point where caring about misogyny at all or expecting men to disengage from misogyny and the patriarchy gets you labeled a vile misandrist who doesn’t care about real feminism
Intersectionality, a framework pioneered to discuss the experiences of Black women, gets mangled into “you have to care about men or you’re not being intersectional”
ok lemme fix this b/c once again, it’s clear that these people have never come into contact w/anyone gender-critical and actually listened
gender-critical feminist: we are here to abolish gender
anti-’terf’ individual: oh, so we won’t use gendered pronouns anymore?
gender-critical feminist: changing your pronouns doesn’t change the way you’re treated if you’re female (afab). this is missing the point, also, many of us will respect pronouns. many radical and lesbian feminists are detransitioned or in the process of re-identifying and are using/have used he or they pronouns.
anti-’terf’ individual: gendered clothing?
gender-critical feminist: regardless of sex, people should be able to wear whatever they want, especially comfortable and practical clothing. many of us are gnc or butch. we are highly critical of the makeup/beauty industry and femininity being forced on girls. we don’t believe in ‘lipstick strong enough to kill a man.’ we think clothes are clothes and a boy who wants to wear dresses is not a girl.
anti-’terf’ individual: segregated bathrooms?
gender-critical feminist: segregated bathrooms were created to give afab women protection from the sexual harassment and violence of amab men. trans women are amab and are still male-socialized and many even have male anatomy still.
female bathrooms are not a refuge for everyone who suffers from male harassment and violence. they are for females. should we let gnc gay men into our bathrooms, too? fat men? how do we distinguish between a man and a male-passing trans woman who identifies as a woman on the inside? females have the right to safe spaces in their restrooms.
many of us consider single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms a good addition to male and female bathrooms (not a replacement).
anti-’terf’ individual: So, we’re going to do something about the gender binary, yes? We’re going to attack the idea that gender is intrinsically linked to one’s anatomy, and we’re going to boost the visibility of trans and intersex people, who face the most violence consequences of the sex and gender binaries–yes?
gender-critical feminist: oh, you’re so close to the point! the gender binary is not the source of violence, though. gender itself is.
gender is a set of expectations and rules forced on people due to their sex. afab people suffer far worse consequences from this than men, although we also have sympathy for gnc and transitioned males who suffer under patriarchy. we want to end the idea that one’s personality, interests, sense of style, etc all come as a package with one’s anatomy.
we want to end the idea that females are made for male consumption and males should chase females. we oppose and critique male and female socialization and we want children to be raised in a gender-neutral manner.
as for intersex individuals, there are many intersex radical and lesbian feminists and many of us are striving to become more aware of intersex issues. the abuse intersex people suffer at the hands of the medical industry often stems from violent reinforcement of heterosexuality (e.g surgery to allow penetration) or ableism (fixing ‘abnormal’ bodies even when it’s not medically necessary).
there are actually only two sexes and intersex conditions are just naturally-occurring (though often non-functional, as they lead to infertility) variations on male and female.
anti-’terf’ individual: Then what are you going to do, exactly? What is your plan? How are you going to accomplish this?
gender-critical feminist: if you acquaint yourself with our actual theory and practice and not just straw-women, maybe you’d understand that. anti-’terf’ individual: how?
gender-critical feminist: read a book. listen to a woman. stop misrepresenting us, burn-the-witch-ing us, and excluding us from our own feminist and lesbian communities because you can’t comprehend centering females.
FUCK YEAH! finally, a comprehensive response to this dumb ass image
I think what pisses me off most about that graphic is that radfems aren’t secretive about their beliefs at all. They’ll gladly explain everything to you, including what their plans and ideas are to deal with oppressive concepts like gender, but because liberals are told to block and silence “TERFs” on sight, we get this bullshit.
They don’t have a clue what radfems do or say, so they just make it up to make them even more hated.
If you have to lie about what your opponent is saying or doing, you are NOT in the right.
banning trans women from the olympics is bad because they’re banning trans women from the olympics. full stop. really nothing else needs to be added to this sentence. it’s discriminatory and wrong to ban trans women from the olympics, and it would be regardless of how this might effect some cis women. why is every post about this focused on the cis women, instead of how alarmingly transmisogynistic this is?
trans women were not banned from the olympics. all males were banned from the female category. trans women are still absolutely welcome to compete in the male category, the category in line with their sex. this is how every athlete who wishes to compete in the olympics will be treated, regardless of identity or trans status.
they have not been wrongfully discriminated against and banned for their internal identity. the olypmics possess no mind-reading machines that can test for internal trans identity. they have been banned from the female category, on the basis of their maleness, which is easily testable, measurable, and tangible with a cheek swab.
Funny how that works
I am so pleased at how many notes are some version of “I don’t fear the science, I fear the corporations who control it” because that is EXACTLY the attitude you should have. GMOs can save us. Monsanto will kill us.
what people fear about GMO- ‘theyre gonna make frankencarrots that crave human flesh and cause diarrhea ’ what GMO actually is- ‘we made rice crop that is both drought resistant and flood resistant which will prevent about 20% of major famine disasters, also it now makes vitamin A because vitamin A deficiency in poverty stricken areas is a major killer of kids as most vitamin A rich foods dont grow there’ what people SHOULD be upset about- ‘i made all crops sterile so all farmers have to buy the seed from me in perpetuity and i will sue anyone who tries to go back to crops that produce their own seed’
That’s it exactly. GMO is great ciant corporations can go straight to hell
I didn’t know her, therefore Wikipedia:
Lucy (or Lucia) Eldine Gonzalez was born around 1853 in Texas, likely as a slave, to parents of Native American, Black American and Mexican ancestry.[1] In 1871 she married Albert Parsons, a former Confederate soldier. They were forced to flee from Texas north by intolerant reactions to their interracial marriage.
Described by the Chicago Police Department as “more dangerous than a thousand rioters” in the 1920s, Parsons and her husband had become highly effective anarchist organizers primarily involved in the labor movement in the late 19th century, but also participating in revolutionary activism on behalf of political prisoners, people of color, the homeless and women.
Woaaah.
Just woaaah.
“more dangerous than a thousand rioters” fuck yeah.
Wow.
Lucy Parsons was amazing! More people should know about her.
Here’s a collection of her speeches and writings to download - they are what scared the authorities so much. In fact they must have been terrified that her writings would spark revolution even after her death, because when she died, every piece of writing in her house, and her extensive library on “anarchism, socialism, and sex” was confiscated by the police and FBI and has never resurfaced! For more about her life and ideas, this article by the IWW Women’s History Information Project, and this article/pamphlet by Keith Rosenthal are good places to start.
