Elder. Q***r is and always was a slur. No you can’t reclaim it if you’re not LG. You’ve never even read what JK actually said.

*it seemed clear that knowing how our own lives related to the general condition of women would make us better fighters on behalf of women as a whole.we felt that all women would have to see the fight of women as their own,not as something just to help "other women" that they would have to see this truth about their own lives before they would fight in a radical way for anyone. * go fight your own oppressors. you don't get radicalized fighting other people's battles.

[radvenus]

More support for why individualism fucking sucks.

Conditional activism is shit and sides with the oppressor.

I will never understand how people can be so brain dead as to become a radfem, and then read a bit of propaganda and change their mind.

The trans cult brainwashing goes crazy

[radvenus]

Because they haven’t let go of individualism. If it doesn’t fit their ego they dump it for something that appeals to it.

Collectivism is the key to collective liberation. Individualism will never free us.

[paleo-violet]

All my catty little atheist remarks aside, I do understand why so many women are drawn to "witchcraft." It's subversive and takes on a decidedly female-led, non-patriarchal tone in most circles, for one, but it also evokes images of the "witchy" women of the past -- the old ladies who could poison a woman's abusive husband; the widows and single women who tended to their own gardens in their own spaces; the women who were knowledge-seekers, testing medicines and helping other women. The women who were called witches. The women who were at times perfectly normal members of society and, at others, villainized and persecuted in patriarchal religious hysteria.

[bilboyagathechickenfootedhobbit]

Honestly why I call myself a hag/witch. I don’t “practice” with like candles and spells and shit, but I do have a garden where I grow medicinal herbs that I use to make stuff for myself and my friends, and a front yard full of bones, and a frog friend in my garden, and I’m absolutely notorious in my friend group for the amount of women I have helped escape bad situations and offered shelter to. I’m educated and opinionated, and I don’t doubt several men wouldn’t mind watching me burn. So yeah, I refer to myself as witchy, or a desert hag, but I am atheist through and through.

[paleo-violet]

Me reading that you have bones in your yard: heck yes

Me reading that you have a frog friend: hell yes

Me reading that you've helped other women escape from bad situations:

Women yearn for power because we are rendered powerless by the patriarchy

[lesbianerin]

yesterday there was a "dyke*-festival" in berlin and initially i wanted to go, but then i looked up their website and found out that straight males have access but god forbid you think that lesbians are homosexual (exclusively same-sex attracted) women (adult female humans).

this should tell you everything about the current state of the lesbian community. lesbophobic and male-centered.

[lesbianerin]

after we went to a lesbian bar and found this:

remember kids: sexual violence and harassment is okay if your target is a woman that disagrees with you!

[feminist-pussycat]

Transwomen: TERFs think trans women are all sexually violent males!

Transwomen: TERFs suck my dick!

Fuck them all for appeasing male feelings over women’s rights.

[old-spirited-invert]

Alot of radfems clearly haven't had one positive relationship with a man or amab ever, it's pitiful and truly shows the cracks in society.

It's probably the reason they hate men so much.

[radkindoffeminist]

I want to dispute this because I have had multiple positive relationships with men but I just want you to think about what you wrote: a group of women who have NEVER had a positive relationship with any man in their life end up hating men? That actually seems reasonable to me. Like, you really expecting a bunch of women who have been abused and insulted and degraded by every single man that they have ever met to actually like men?

[blissfulascension]

I'd hate men too if every single man I've ever met was Like That

[cecaeliawitch]

op you've just acknowledged that it's possible for a reasonably large group of women to have never had a single positive interaction with 50% of the entire world's population, ever, but somehow those women would still be the problem in your mind???

[radvenus]

Some of us are collectivists and don’t base our politics and activism on personal individual experiences that benefit ourselves alone.

[femmefascist]

there are countries that ban girls from getting an education so i really don't give a fuck if some boys have a hard time at school because they don't want to behave and do their work

[femsolid]

You monster! Boys are struggling because the classroom is too quiet and girly and stuff!

See that? We ask too much of boys and force them into fight or flight mode :( girls are fine though. They love sitting there quietly responding to orders because girls are just naturally passive aren't they? They love going to school and being groped and mocked by boys too. School is a fantastic experience for girls, a wonderful environment that doesn't traumatize them at all, when they go to school, that is.

Will someone think of the boys though 🎻

[fakeboitherottengirl]

How does evidence of female suffering disprove that our education system is horrible for children. Boys act out more because of socialization but a lot of these little boys who can't get through a school day are ND, just because males will be helped by it doesn't mean we shouldn't restructure our education system to accommodate neurodiversity. Like the hate some of yall have for little boys is scary. Suffering isn't a zero sum game, yes obviously it is worse to be a girl than a boy, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't consider WHY these children are struggling because chances are the girls are in just as much or more discomfort but are just socialized to be less likely to act out in a disruptive way. Modern public school is a factory that takes brilliant minds with unlimited potential and turns them into shift workers. The boys aren't the only ones struggling/suffering, they are just acting out in more disruptive ways. Id never send my child to a modern American school to be molded into a worker and beaten into submission and trained to preform without adequate compensation to make them more useful to capitalism. But just because the boys are the ones acting out does not mean the boys are suffering more in these settings. Boys flip their desk and call the teacher a bitch, girls stop eating,

[femsolid]

The original claim wasn't that "education is horrible for children" or for "neurodivergent boys". The fact that you keep trying to reframe the subject indicates that you yourself don't believe boys are struggling.

The original claim is that boys are not doing well at school, doing worse than girls, to be specific. And the follow up claim is that school is good for girls but abusive to boys.

We live in a patriarchy. A male supremacy. Parents favour their sons. Teachers favour male pupils. Society favours males.

Girls (and female teachers) are sexually harassed by boys at school every day. So the fact that a boy is annoyed to sit for a few hours or is having bad grades despite how much more attention and privileges he gets is not my concern. A boy "flips his table and calls his teacher a bitch" and I'm supposed to care about boys and not how female teachers are abused by boys? And it's the fault of the education system and not male narcissism and misogyny? Boys are privileged and still they whine and fail. Boys are privileged and still they sexually assauly and mock girls every day for the fun of it. Cry me a river about the supposed struggle of the wannabe tyrant.

And you say I'm hateful? Did I ban boys from school? Did I marry a 12 years old? Did I kill a male infant? Did I rape a boy on his way to school? If I hate boys, then there's no word strong enough to qualify the way men and boys feel about girls. But it's pretty typical to claim that if a woman doesn't care about males, she must hate them. Not centering males is perceived as a direct attack by male supremacists. Some women don't have feelings for males. That's all it is. But you know what? Hate would be a perfectly reasonable feeling for someone who had to go to school with boys.

[radvenus]

I worked with 11-12 year olds for 5 years and you know what I learned?

Boys act out because they’ve learned from all the men around them, the fathers, bigger brothers, cousins, YouTubers, twitch streamers, men they meet on video games - that learning is “girly”, that being smart and knowing stuff is a feminine trait, that intelligence is seen as weak compared to brute strength and skill at games whether physical or e-sports. They’ve learned that because they’re male, their education doesn’t actually impact their future success as much as it does for girls, so they stop giving a shit,

They also act out because they have learned from these same men that the words of women, the women themselves aren’t to be respected, and most teachers they have are women.

Misogyny is the reason boys struggle in school, and instead of trying to get rid of misogyny so boys do better, men have decided to devalue academia. They hate us that much they’d rather uphold their imbecility than actually fix the problem.

[dunesofpriam]

It's interesting how often the hate you get for being gender critical assumes you are female, and uses gendered insults to reflect that, even when you make no mention of your sex.

It goes to show that, despite their posturing, these people also see the chance of the recipient being a man who cares about women to be dismissably small, and/or how the pattern shows that generally to be true.

[radvenus]

It sorta proves it to be anti feminist in its core

[capricorn-season]

[thesinisterspinster]

Genies big mad that their stolen womanhood is being stolen.

[radvenus]

What if those girls are actually trans though? Like I thought the whole point was whoever says they’re trans is trans. Without question. And it’s just basic respect to use stated pronouns. They said they were boys. And yet these trans people do be breaking their own rules calling them cis girls when they’ve clearly stated they are not. Should be end of story but apparently trans people are the only ones who get to decide who is real trans and who isn’t whilst telling the rest of us we have to blindly accept everyone…

[thatsmallwoman4-deactivated2024]

This is literally one of the most misogynistic tweet I’ve ever seen because this person is so dismissive about women in history face restrictions and unable to access to male dominated fields the fact these jobs have been traditionally male dominated due to historical roles and patriarchal social expectations women were often discouraged entering such jobs leading to gender biases that persists today, women face barriers when they enter in these fields because they face discrimination and lack of mentorship and workplace cultures that are not welcoming to women.

[niconicokn33]

Nobody is stopping you from being a binman or from working as a lumberjackie

[safetynot9uaranteed]

Idk man I'm pretty sure a 6 month trade certification is easier than a 4 year degree. The only thing that stops women from making that choice is themselves.

You can kick and scream but "but historically" and "I might face..." But that's just stuff you made up in your own head. I've been to both university and trade school. I understand the pressure to stick with what you know and what you're peers and role models are doing but eventually you have to take some accountability for your own lack of boldness and imagination. At the end of the day you choose good and bad career decisions of your own free will.

[radvenus]

My very first job interview was at a mechanics -

They said, and I quote “we can’t have you working here, the men want to be able to swear and keep their pictures of sexy women up. If you work here you’d be a liability for sexual harassment”.

I was 15.

So fuck off, actually. It’s not in our heads.

Question of the day for radfems #4

do you think of dismantling “femininity” because its a patriarchal product made by men?

[radvenus]

Definitely a goal

[terra-feminarum]

When I took my first steps towards detransition, I never would've imagined other women could accept me as one of their own again. I used to pass a man very well, even to the extent other trans people sometimes were surprised I'm trans.

It has taken many years, and I've had to build a lot of courage, but if I dare to act like I belong, other women are welcoming. And it's not like I look how a woman is expected to look like. My voice is still deep, I have severe hair loss, I don't have breasts.

But it seems like a lot of people can recognize my femaleness, no matter how unusual I look. Not everybody, but enough. I've never made any serious attempt to "pass" as a female, because I feel like I'm done with performing gender roles, and so I do what is comfortable and for me that means looking "manly". My face and body have changed but I've never wanted to rely on wearing "women's clothes" or make-up. Health professionals have asked me several times if I'd want a wig but I don't. Many people recognize me as a woman despite all this.

I wanted to share this because a lot of detrans peer support is from those who are newly detransitioned. It takes time for your body to do it's thing, several years rather than months. If other women can recognize a woman like me as one of their own, I believe most detrans women can hope the same.

I've realized I don't have to look like I never went through medical transition. I did. That's a thing some women go through. The great thing about detransition is that I've been able to stop pretending my past doesn't exist. All parts of my history are part of me. No more deadnames, no more hiding, no more trying to pass, no more secrets.

[radvenus]

If you tell me you’re a biological woman that’s all you need to do. If you were born female, it’s gratis that you are, no matter what you did. You always were no matter how well you passed as male. Women are women no matter how they present.

[radfemih8men]

If you feel like you have to walk on eggshells just to respect a person and give them basic decency that issue is not theirs, it’s yours. That’s one of the biggest arguments I see with “anti-feminist” men, like I know the world tells you that it revolves around your personal comfort and it’s hard to accept that even people you’re attracted to are human beings, but my biggest worry is never your feelings. Especially in reference to my rights.
