If you’re reblogging this and adding conventionally beautiful heterosexual feminists, you’re missing my point entirely.
Our attractiveness and/or availability to men should not determine the validity of our movement.
Stop fighting the “Feminists are ugly lesbians” stereotype by shouting, “No, we’re not!” Fight it by acknowledging that that’s a shitty critique of a movement for people who want our human rights.
The fact that this is even a problem - that our cause is so often critiqued not by discussions about our ideas but about whether or not we are sexually attractive/available to men - is proof that we’re being viewed not as human beings who deserve rights but as sexual objects.
When someone dismisses your cause because they can’t/don’t want to fuck the people in it, your response should not be, “LOOK, SOME OF US ARE FUCKABLE!” It should be, “What a shitty person you are for believing that’s a requirement for us to be worth listening to.”
