As of May 2025, Oregon has now banned child marriage with no exceptions!

It has become the 15th state to criminalise marriage for children under the age of 18, huge win for young girls!

Ladies, normalise sharing your small wins. So much of women's rights advertisement is women being the best and doing something great, but we don't have to be #1 in order to receive some recognition and approval!

What's a small win you've achieved recently!

I managed to go to bed earlier than usual and had 9 hours of undisturbed sleep for the first time this month, so I'm feeling good!

I hate how society has gotten to the point where people with certain kinks or fetishes think they're a protected or marginalized class. Like no, you and your diaper and rape fetish are actually repulsive.

And I'm not scared to say it. I quite literally do not care if you walk away feeling "sexually liberated". Keep that to yourself, or I will have my thinkpieces.

I’m watching the new Hulu documentary social studies which is on the whole a VERY effective documentary on the impact of being constantly online in the new generation. They discuss porn and BDSM pretty critically, and even dive into pro Ana content and how it harms young girls.

But then for some reason instead of critiquing the new wave of young girls getting Botox or girls with ethnic noses feeling pressured to get rhinoplasties they decide to center a sympathetic portal of a TIM that wants facial feminization story. The only opponent to the “FFS”(which is really just rhinoplasty jaw shaving etc that centers European beauty standards just as much as the rest of the industry) is the TIM’s uber conservative pro January 6th mother 😐

I don’t understand why the critical thinking skills that were present throughout the rest of the documentary just dropped off the face of the earth for this section

Hi, radfem with a husband here. He exclusively does the dishes, cooks most of the time, does the laundry, he is empathetic and never yells at me, he’s a talented pianist and supports me financially, but I would never say he is not sexist. despite all his niceties and political correctness he still prioritizes men and their opinions over women every time. he only reads books by men, watches youtube videos by men, and he only listens to music videos by men. the worst part is, he didn’t even notice this until I pointed it out. five years ago I had to explain to him why daddy kinks are bad and you shouldn’t choke women during sex. I don’t pretend he’s not sexist, and it’s dangerous to pretend like there are men who aren’t. you just aren’t good enough at picking up on it.

Hello anon - appreciate your take!

If I may add my own thoughts:

Not only little girls but also little boys are socialized in a certain way that makes them more susceptible to be influenced by and not pick up on societal misogyny.

Misogyny in our society is rooted deeply, it runs rampant but at the same time it is extremely normalized. When you aren't someone that is directly affected by it or already sensitive to those signals - you might have an even harder time to realize what is going on. I just want to point out that even grown up women can have internalized misogyny.

It is important to consider that men lack the experience we have going through life as women and therefore they themselves are not faced with the same issues on the daily. We as women are, that makes us different from each other.

Also, the male is the standard in our society. There is more men than women in almost everything. It is much harder in my opinion to intentionally only support and consume female media, female music and only read female books. Seperating yourself from that completely must be done intentionally and by paying attention.

Before I was exposed to radfem theory - I had some internalized misogyny - without even realizing. Once I got into it, so many things have made sense and it was truly eye opening. It is difficult to question the status quo when you have never seen or dreamed of anything else, it seems impossible. As radfems, we know what we are talking about when we say that society is male centered and that male is the standard but we forget how in daily life no one even recognizes until it is pointed out. We forget how big of a realization that is because to us it now seems blatantly obvious and we are hyper sensitive to it.

I am not advocating for women to try and change men. If your opinion is not valued, leave. If your criticism is met with anger or ridicule, leave. If your vocal wish for betterment is not answered, leave. If your explanation of your pain leaves him cold, leave. If he is not something that makes your life easier and brighter, leave.

You shouldn't need to explain basic things to him, why doing X is bad and why he should be doing Y instead.

I am also not justifying men's misogyny. I point it out whenever I witness it and that's that and I leave whenever I feel I'm treated with a lack of respect. I don't sustain male friendships. I am het partnered and that's it.

Some radfems might say I am going too soft on men and that this post is defending men but truly, that's not my intention. I just remember how the time was for me, before discovering radical feminism and before the fog lifted in front of my eyes and I could see everything clearly for the first time. And I just imagine that if it was like this for me that I did never question the status quo and did not recognize my own opression for what it was because it was so normalized - it must be at least the same for men.

I judge those men by their willingness to listen and if they have an open mind.

I believe everything you said anon. And I agree that every man carries sexism and misogyny within them - similarly to many women, due to upbringing. It matters what you make out of it, if you are allowing yourself to think critically.

If we derive men of their possibility to change and get better, what are we fighting for? If "men will be men" how can we hold them accountable for their actions? If we are claiming that men are inherently evil and will always be sexist/misogynistic we don't have anything to hope for.
