The more I think of myself as just another animal, the better I feel about my body. Yup I have breasts, I'm a sexually mature female human. A caribou does not feel bad that her antlers have grown in. I eat, I am an animal. No other animal on Earth feels shame at the thought of eating besides humans. A mouse does not worry if her face is asymmetrical, a lizard does not attempt to take up less space, a boar does not think about her body hair. Dysphoria can only ever exist within the confines of a human society. Who made you feel so bad you felt the need to self implode? A person? A collective? There's nothing noble or profound about self destruction, even single celled organisms want to live.

only 4chan users think women are contradicting themselves when different women have different opinions and not because we’re a hive mind and a monolith or something. crazy i know.

Women’s marathon

[emma-radfemcanu]

I thought exactly this when watching the mixed relay- it was mixed sex teams, they were competing at the exact same time, and yet the men wore actual shorts and the women wore what was essentially underwear?

[lesbian-lizards]

Wonder how that girl felt when her dad “laughed his ass off” at something that was clearly making her uncomfortable

[3am-nonsense]

It’s the way men always laugh at women’s concerns even though deep down they know these concerns are legitimate

[womenarehuman]

This is why men shouldn’t be allowed to raise daughters.

I was going to say “there are good dads! Not all dads!” But then I remembered how insecure my dad made me feel about sports I was interested in as a kid. He didn’t even realize he was doing that. And he didn’t do it on purpose. But he has never shown me in any way that he believes women’s sports are valuable. He’s a sports geek and a superfan and watching men play sports is the only thing that makes him happy. And he never once thought about what kind of message that was sending.

I don’t remember him saying a single thing about women’s sports throughout my entire childhood. Not one thing positive or negative. But he had an entire shrine of NFL memorabilia.

‘some women choose to do sex work’ okay and some women choose to shoot heroin or drown their infants or steal from charity or take their gum out and stick it underneath a table instead of throwing it away. every single possible action has at some point been chosen freely by someone. ‘x chose y’ is not an argument for/against whether something is healthy or ethical, it is a nothing statement. u are saying nothing. 

[anarchoterfism]

this idea that a woman’s choice in inherently feminist does nothing but blind us to the nuance behind the reasons a choice was made in the first place.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

i can't imagine being this wrong in my entire life.

[terfaerium]

lmao the way he says 'you can choose' and then immediately tries to force her to do what he wants 😕

[terfaerium]

talked to someone I really trust about how I have been scared of men since a very young age, and the only man I felt safe around was my dad. she basically replied that that was something I needed to recognize as a fault and overcome; she felt that the feelings of tim were more important than my safety and comfort. she also felt it was more important than the safety and comfort of women who survived domestic violence and sexual assault, and more important than women's opportunities to participate in professional and competitive sports.

this conversation happened a year ago, but I can't stop thinking about how she was so dismissive of my boundaries.

[angelichater]

im thinking of calling my most recent therapist who, when i finally broke down and opened up about being a teenage prostitute and how it's ruined my perception of my body and men etc, said to me "But some women like it!" and it demolished all trust i had built with her. I want to call her now that i'm half stoned from benzos and tell her how ignorant that was to say to a crying, truamatized patient. thoughts?

[angelichater]

maybe an email would be more reasonable but she needs to know how ignorant and hurtful that was to me after years of refusing to open up about it

[angelichater]

I SENT THE EMAIL GYNS!!!!

I seriously dislike that we as girls have been conditioned to seek relationships, and feel so fucking bad when things don’t work out. I wish we could adopt the boy’s approach of just living in the moment more often. I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault if someone thinks this way, like we were practically raised on romance and true love and shit like that. But the older you grow, and the more disappointed you are by people, the more psychic damage this thinking inflicts

[terfaerium]

every single time my friends tell me about their relationships with their bfs, im disgusted by the way the men treat these women. they put so much of the emotional burden of a relationship on these women and expect them to basically be their mother. and every time, these women tell me that they see themselves spending the rest of their lives together. I have never heard a woman talk about a relationship where I wasn't immediately enraged and wanting to fight her bf on her behalf

[leghairenjoyer-deactivated20240]

I do think there are women who are actively holding women's liberation back with their actions and i would consider them weak links and call them out for it but if a man ever criticizes a woman like that i will literally defend her as if she saved my life 5 times over she's now my best friend and my sister and sure that probably makes me a hypocrite but I'd rather be called that than to let a man voice his negative opinion about women in front of me

[gendont]

I've said it before and I'll say it again

ONLY TIP FEMALE SERVICE WORKERS!

We NEED to keep as much money as possible in female pockets. If you tip a woman, that's more money in a woman's pocket! If you don't tip a man, that's more money in another woman's (YOUR) pocket!!

Males don't need our charity! Let them be broke! Don't feel bad about it, he doesn't feel bad when he goes home and jerks off to the paid rape of our half of the population.

[feminologist]

Hot take that I don’t know if I agree with enough to actually put into action, but the way people are reacting to this is sooo telling. Men make more money than women and people are acting like it’s a hate crime to try and keep money in the pockets of women.

Here’s a link to a post about female poverty in America while we’re here!

[terfaerium]

whether or not this is an 'ethical' thing to do is irrelevant bc it's GODDAMN HILARIOUS

[darkesttiimelines]

I read 'rich and powerful women like celebrities and athletes are forced to parade around nearly naked to remind all women that no amount of money or status could protect them from objectification. they must remain sexually accessible to the poorest man' and my life hasn't been the same since.
