Terf feminists have terrorized me, blue. I can't do this anymore. Why are their takes so horrible, fym feminism doesn't benefit men? Fym trans women shouldn't be allowed in women's spaces? Fym queer ppl in m/f relationships should take their hetero-ness and leave us alone? I can't anymore save me I beg
Yeah it’s all really stupid. You are blocking these people, right?
Honestly it baffles me that they’re even called ‘feminists’. Isn’t feminism supposed to be about equal rights? What’s equal about insisting that the people they don’t consider women (or the right kind of women) deserve to be oppressed instead? Oh right, it’s because they don’t actually care about dismantling the patriarchy or whatever, they just want to cling to the power they already have.
Honestly what we really need is a world where there’s not really any such thing as ‘women’s spaces’ and ‘men’s spaces’. Unisex toilets are fine so long as there’s decent fucking locks on the cubicle doors. Same with showers. If the worry is that some men will ‘take advantage’ of it then we need to hold men accountable and raise them to not treat women’s bodies as sex objects. Or bodies in general. This is just “you shouldn’t wear revealing clothes in public because men can’t control themselves” rhetoric all over again.
As for the whole ‘no heteros’ thing, that’s even stupider. I’ll admit, I used to assume that ‘straight’ was the opposite of ‘queer’ until I saw a post about how plenty of queer people are also straight, and that’s a me problem. It really goes to show how all of these divides we make between different groups (men and women, straight and queer etc) are really just arbitrary and meaningless. Anyway yeah trans rights.
