Ladies if youve escaped an abusive relationship or suspect you may currently be in one and are searching for "proof", please read Boundaries (After a Pathological Relationship) by Adelyn Birch.
It's a 5mm thick instructional guide on identifying abuse, what boundaries are, what it feels like when they're crossed and how to make your own, strong boundaries to protect yourself in the future.
When a modern woman is blessed with a body that can move, run, dance, play, and bring her to orgasm; with breasts free of cancer, a healthy uterus, a life twice as long as that of the average Victorian woman, long enough to let her express her character on her face; with enough to eat and a metabolism that protects her by laying down flesh where and when she needs it; now that hers is the gift of health and well-being beyond that which any generation of women could have hoped for before—the Age of Surgery undoes her immense good fortune. It breaks down into defective components the gift of her sentient, vital body and the individuality of her face, teaching her to experience her lifelong blessing as a lifelong curse.
Dw it's just entertainment it doesn't influence how I behave or think. Dw it's just fantasy it doesn't influence how I behave or think. Dw it's just a joke it doesn't reveal anything about how I behave or think. What determines how I behave and think, you ask? Uh, my eternal goodboy niceperson soul. obviously
The refusal, especially among liberals, to believe that pornography has any real relationship to sexual violence is astonishing. Liberals have always believed in the value and importance of education. But when it comes to pornography, we are asked to believe that nothing pornographic, whether written or visual, has an educative effect on anyone.
Today I saw some male on Twitter call the Handmaid’s Tale smut. Meanwhile Margaret Atwood has been very clear about only using real scenarios that have happened to women in her book. Men are so overexposed to violent misogynistic pornography that they see a critical depiction of violent misogyny and think it has to be pornography.
i think a big part of the current wave of antifeminist rhetoric among women is that people just cannot accept the idea that liberating yourself is uncomfortable. like of course it feels Wrong to see something you've internalised as normal/necessary (like wearing makeup 24/7) be challenged, that's because you've internalised it. and it will feel ostracising to go against the status quo once you question the things you've internalised. but the discomfort is part of it. you have to move past the fear response and look at the bigger picture.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ARGUING WITH M*LES, EVER. In fact, don't engage with ANYONE that's annoying and full of it. Delete their comments and block them! Time is an infinitely precious resource and you can spend it on radicalizing other women, building networks and communities, educating yourself, drinking water or even staring at a wall-- that would be more productive than arguing with a broken Y chromosome.
reflecting on how every single woman in healthcare is told to be prepared for elderly male patients to “misunderstand boundaries” or “be confused on what is appropriate” or “not in his right mind” regarding literal sexual assault/harassment.
wow what a massive coincidence that the elderly women with dementia/cognitive impairments, etc never sexually assault female healthcare workers.
wow what a huge coincidence that male healthcare workers are much less likely to be assaulted or be the victim in inappropriate patient situations.
wow what a coincidence that elderly men are granted exemptions for their disgusting behaviour due to their age/conditions when these behaviours simply do not even exist with elderly women.

"Magdalen had a genuine willingness to listen to the argument, to be fair, not to misrepresent. She never once twisted an argument, misrepresented something, pretended someone meant something they clearly didn’t – was never disingenuous or dishonest in her arguments, would genuinely try and get the truth."
This was said by Jean Molloy, a close friend of Magdalen and her family. Everyone who has watched Magdalen’s videos will – if they are honest – recognise the truth in Jean’s words. But there was something more to Magdalen than her fairness and honesty, more than her intelligence and ability to cut through the claptrap. She had a unique and compelling style. She was chilled, irreverent and funny. Many of her videos are characterised by close-up in-your-face direct engagement with her target, whose rambling inanities are relieved by Magdalen’s factual assertions and deadpan one-liners. For those of us in agreement with her, her videos were highly entertaining. For her detractors, not so much."
"She put her whole heart into everything she did and she did a great deal. She was as committed to boxing, Taekwondo, running and getting her motorcycle licence as she was to smoking and contesting her parking fines!
Her kindness to children was borne of natural empathy with them. She was on their side in life. As for her own childhood, it will come as no surprise that Magdalen was yet another girl who preferred “boys’ stuff”, a girl who prayed to God to turn her into a boy and who was delighted when she was mistaken for one. Yet another girl who, if she’d been growing up in the society we have now, may well have been encouraged to reject her body and go through the process of medical ‘transition’ with all that would entail. And this, I am told, was a large part of the driving force behind her opposition to transgender ideology."
"To anyone with their heart and mind intact, Magdalen comes across as a sharp and funny young woman who said what she believed and was able to explain why she believed what she did without ‘bigoteering’. That’s a word I’ve just learned from the awesome new documentary by The State Media YouTube channel called Gender Ideology, which is dedicated to Magdalen’s memory. It means calling people bigots to close them down and avoid having to engage with their arguments. A bigot is the very opposite of what Magdalen was. That’s why she’ll live on in hearts and minds, while her detractors – the real bigots – continue to stew in their own poison."

I don’t try to make feminism appeal to men because that would be false advertising. Feminist ends are not beneficial to the male sex class and actively seek to remove their power and control over females which has secured their dominant place in society for all of human history.
“Feminism helps men too" is a lie, another smokescreen liberal feminists created in order to gather their crumbs in relative peace. Female liberation requires an overthrowing of societal structure, that which affords men the ability to live comfortably on the backs of women.
This narrative blinds you with feel-good scenarios about men who can cry and accept rejection without cutting off our heads in broad daylight, but it’s empty, and it’s useless.
The only true feminist praxis is the acquisition of land and resources dedicated to the protection and empowerment of female people. This is not, and can never be, beneficial to males.
This was posted on the r/askFeminists subreddit a year or two ago. I think it’s a really good summarization of some of the major holes and contradictions in trans ideology. I come back to this post every once in a while, so I thought I’d post it here. Here is the link for the comment section that peaked her.
