“Gender critical” isn’t enough. We as radical feminists are not simply that, this choice of words wasn’t accurate enough and I say this as someone who’s been using that word for nearly 10 years out of habit. I don’t just criticise gender, I know it’s a powerful tool used and justified by the patriarchy to oppress women and girls. To make boys and men the ones stepping on our necks and robbing us from our humanity. The conclusion has been clear since day one, a feminist world, where equity rules, has destroyed gender. What radical feminists really are is “gender abolitionists”.

guys. I’m not saying you have to forgive people or let them off Scott free. I’m saying you have to not hate them and glory in revenge porn and want them to suffer, because that NEVER is coming from a mature place and it’s NEVER a desire that leads anywhere good.

it’s the hardest thing in the world to take people who do things that abhor you and hurt you or people you care about and keep seeing them as human, keep a grasp on the fact that “there but for the grace of God go I.”

you have to do it anyway though. You have to do it or you’re perpetuating the same thing for the same reasons down the line, and you and they are going to keep teaching your progeny and successors to keep hating each other for past evils. No one gets a chance to be saved, to save themselves, to change, to make amends, to start over.

you’re not immune to propaganda. You’re not immune to making terrible decisions and hurting people. You’re not immune to being part of a group that goes off the rails en masse and is swept away by the madness of mob mentality. you’re almost never going to be stronger than a propaganda effort targeted directly at you aimed at your exact blind spots and prejudices weaknesses. And yes, you HAVE blind spots and prejudices and weaknesses. yes you. even you. no matter how much work you’ve already put in.

it’s the hardest work ever to keep seeing fellow humans as human and more like you than not. you’ve got to do it anyway though. every other road leads to a failure to see the situation clearly and a propensity for committing more othering and violence that perpetuates the same old cycle.

A quick tutorial on how to draw clouds :

[millennialgenderabolitionist]

“Nuancefem” more like “I’m very much trying to water down a movement that’s obviously extremely critical of sexism in ALL its forms and I’m too afraid to express basic feminist views within liberal ‘feminist’ spaces since I don’t want to be a pariah, therefore I pretend to be something I’m not and every radfem is wondering why the fuck I appeared a few months ago only to absolutely not criticise gender and include trans-identified males in my feminism under the excuse that they would somehow be allies and oh so different blorbos than the usual ones”. Breath in. Breath out. It’s okay if you don’t actually hold radical feminist views, nobody is forcing you to. You can express your “nuanced” ideas as a libfem, they will like your lack of critical thinking there, they will accept you because you’re already one of them. Pinky promise. You are a sub category of liberal feminists just too afraid to speak about your 2 or 3 different opinions from the dogma. It’s time, be brave. We’ll never nuance something that’s very clear in our minds : gender is an integral element of patriarchy and needs to be abolished, men no matter how they identify won’t have any say in our discussions.

I know im prety bad at grammar.

And i have seen some prety harsh coments about it, so im gona make some thing clear. Not as an escuse but as a contex of why somehow even if i seen to be writhing and reading a lot, the gramar can be seen as wrose with some post.

So i do have ADHD Dyslexy, bad gramr syndrome and a cronic degenerative epilepsy that mostly atack the part of the brain that is related to the cognitive habilitis that comes with grammar and sentensing.

So will i am prety good at reading, understending and listening a lenguage that is not my mother one i have been figthing to not lose the porly grammar rules that stuk with me, the only way is just this...writhing and writhing.

It does not help that thanks to my job and my family situation and my brain actkvity im always tried on a cronic way and its more dificult to distingue the typos snd other thingd.

So please if you see domething bad in my post, please just thell me gently, i will do my best to edit them (as k have done before) but most of the time i just- do not see the typo or error.

Thanks to all tbat had been kind, undestending (i almost wrote uninstalling, lol) and patient with me.

I do try my best, but worlds are just not worlding most of the time and the autocorrector is more anoying than helping (i fear that im gona become lazy and depemdent of it if i use it all the time... that and usualy changes the world mild writing and that does mess more with my persepsion of the things)

But anyway. Thanks for reading and sorry for venting.

Here have a cookie(?
