Crazy how movements or even just aesthetics will only really gain popularity once they’re a porn category. Body positivity gained traction with feederism and the notion of “real women have curves”. The whole LGB movement got normalized with yuri, yaoi and “unicorns”. Being a tomboy, being nerdy, illness, race, religion, free the nipple, burning bras, sex positivity … I’d ask if it has something to do with porn addicted males running everything but that requires deeper thought and criticism than I’m allowed.

im gonna give pushback here because yuri is not inherently pornographic…

[radfem-alt-clothes]

It's not but the men who consume it see it as such.

[radyunjins]

oh ok i wasn’t sure what you meant by that there are misconceptions that yuri is just porn and that isn’t true :D i agree though men reading yuri = red flag

I think I am a fundamentally better person than any man who has consumed porn.

I keep on seeing this one post floating around talking about how becoming a radfem made them miserable and I wanna be nice but... take the L ladies. Life's so much better when I can put a name to misogyny. Or cutting ties with porn supporting male friends. I'm more will I need to call out things that make me uncomfortable, I'm actually excersising(mostly because the prospect of endometriosis has put the fear of god into me), I'm generally more extroverted... I'd need a control group to prove my theory but being able to call out misogyny just makes everything in life better. The only thing I've lost from being outspokenely a radical feminist is one or two male friends and like... is that even a great lost? Feeling worse just seems like a skill issue here.

​I am so sick of the myth that "men suffer in silence," because the reality is they don't do anything in silence. A man cannot occupy a physical, social or emotional space without expanding to consume it entirely. From manspreading on public transit to demanding the emotional labor of everyone around them, their existence is inherently loud, invasive and deeply entitled. They move through the world expecting the entire room to shift around their comfort, forcing women to literally jump out of the sidewalk just to avoid harassment.

​The idea that they are quiet, silent sufferers is a joke when you look at how much room they violently and casually steal every single day. If a man is inconvenienced, the whole world has to hear about it. If he is angry everyone around him has to manage his behavior. They don't suffer in silence. They make their presence, their entitlement and their general audacity everyone else's problem by default, and then expect a medal for "enduring" a world built entirely for them.

Nazis are always posting shit like, "I was told to be quiet in 4th grade by the teacher once, so women shouldn't be allowed to vote." And everybody wants to turn it into a conversation about abusive teachers when it's like no that's not actually what happened. Frankly considering the way they turned out maybe the teachers should have been beating their ass.

anyway I love things like having independence, being intelligent, taking pride in my skills, not feigning incompetence, referring to myself as a woman instead of a girl, aging unapologetically, having pores, stretch marks, grey hairs, wrinkles and body fat, listening to my body's needs, eating as much as I need to satisfy my hunger, being bare-faced, wearing comfortable clothes, etcetera

life is better when you're not malnourished btw

99.9% of my criticism of plastic surgery: it’s a deeply misogynistic, manipulative industry preying on the centuries long suffering, insecurities and expectations of women and rooted in pedophilia.

0.1% of my criticism of plastic surgery: you look fucking ridiculous

It's not enough to ban porn. I need to actually kill every single man who watched it.

There is no wrong way to be a woman. However you are doing womanhood is correct. You cannot fail at being a woman. The one and only deciding factor of whether you are a woman or not is being of the female sex. Everything else is made up gender roles. Live your life how you want to live it.
