What Up, Buttercups

Radfem blog. Literally done with everything.

Saw a post about how female massage therapists are refusing male clients and the horror stories of sexual abuse they face. So many of the comments also shared similar experiences, but the same question kept popping up.

"Why don't they just visit massage parlours that offer sexual services?"

It's hard to wrap my head around that after hearing those experiences, the "solution" is to pawn off these sexually violent men onto an "acceptable" target.

If a man is aggressive and ignores the consent of a woman who is working in a professional setting with help nearby, what will he do with a woman who can't say no? Why are these women expected to be the shock absorbent for male sexual violence?

And clearly, it doesn't even work. Because it's the violation and entitlement to womens bodies that fuel this behaviour.

jk rowling just posted an image of up a trans woman’s skirt,

when she was confronted about it, she didn’t apologise or take it down, instead she said,

“well, if he didn’t want me to take pictures, he shouldn’t be wearing a skirt and fishnets.”

if you still support jk, what are you doing?

[niiwa-angel]

This is the picture

This man knowingly wore that skirt, in a PUBLIC address to the people, knowing there would be cameras there, and then not only crossed his legs, but crossed his leg in a way that exposed his underwear.

He literally chose to do this. The fact that JKR posted is not the problem here. This man blatantly displaying his fetish is the problem

[scifi0lver]

Why do tra lie every fucking time?

[sichorean]

male flashes entire audience of women on purpose, woman takes a photo from her seat, another woman reposts it: woman is evil sexual offender, man is "innocent victim"

You always know what you're going to get with TRAs, so that's nice, it's just sad that they're always gargling the balls of sexually violent white men.

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

Crazy how in the notes, OP doesn't even seem to have looked this up prior to posting about it and is backpedalling pretty hard. "Well, well, but you should still use her pronouns! Even though she did a bad thing!" But will OP make a followup post or reblog this one admitting it's bullshit? Unlikely.

[desaturated7-deactivated2021090]

incels are just the first generation of men who have been brought up addicted to porn. every single incel talking point about women is from porn. incels think women are having sex from the time they hit puberty onward bc they watch porn with pedophilic undertones or actual cp/loli, incels think women can have sex at a moments notice w any man they want bc that's what happens to women in porn, incels think women regularly have extreme sex like anal or gangbangs bc that's what porn shows them, incels think women like men who are abusive or violent bc that's what women in porn like. u know that weird meme that's being going around abt white women fucking dogs? yeah that's been an incel thing for years. why is that when men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of beastiality? bc most men will have come across animal abuse porn by the time they're graduated high school and incels, who watch porn even more than normal men, see women having sex with animals regularly. incels are just men who's only contact with women has been through porn, men who accept that porns depiction of women is accurate, and they hate women because they totally believe what they see in porn. when they try to roleplay what they see with real women, and the women have boundaries and personalities and lives outside of sex, it infuriates them not because they're mad women have been abused and misrepresented, but because they're upset they are not getting the ultimate male fantasy they were promised from childhood.

[goodoldfashionedthoughtcrimes]

I watched an interview with an Incel. He claims that women in their 20s have had sex with “hundreds” of guys. The reporter was a woman and she said that she doesn’t know of any woman that has slept with that many men. The Incel just insisted that she needed to interview more women and that she just wasn’t aware enough.

Even the most sexual active women I know haven’t had sex with one hundred men, let alone hundreds. They really do believe that porn is accurate.

[cryptogamist]

“incels hate women because they totally believe what they see in porn“

this right here is what feminists mean when we say, porn is hate speech against women. men who invest in the narratives told by porn end up hating women.

[ms-revived-frogs]

Just wanted to link this article here which is a really good read on debunking several pro-porn studies that go against the idea that porn enforced misogyny. Unsurprisingly, the data is skewed and not representative of the general population.

[burndownpornhub]

[antiporn-activist]

fucking thank you

[g1rluninterruptedd]

the problem with you people is that y’all will see an actual feminist critique women’s behavior and start clutching your pearls. this entire take is not only redundant and ridiculous, but like always, it misses the fucking point of feminism and the argument about shaving. feminism is not about the right to choose and nobody is shaming women for shaving. what we are saying is that you guys like to hide behind the “right to choose” instead of thinking critically about why you do that. you do that because you have been conditioned and taught to “like it” rather than it being more of a genuine choice like men. furthermore, seeing how bent out of shape some of you get when your “feminist” choice is critiqued only goes further to show how deeply engrained this is in our minds that women should be shaving. feminists before you did not fight for you to give in to patriarchal beauty norms and i am so sick of you guys lying and being delusional to make yourselves feel better 🙄🙄

[kkoffin]

i’m sick to death of seeing male cosmetic surgeons on social media with this “cunty” “gay best friend” personality, making jokes about being “snatched” and “skinni” knowing damn well they’re all fucking evil greedy misogynists.

i also regularly see them making jokes about their young female clients being with elderly and borderline abusive men. also jokes about “maybe a bbl will make you feel better”, “you aren’t ugly, you just need to get bread and come into my practice”

THESE MFS ARE EVIL!! THEY ARE FUCKING EVIL!!! i want to throw BRICKS THROUGH THEIR PRACTICE WINDOWS WHENEVER I SEE THEM!!! THEY ARE FUCKING LYING TO YOU THEY ARE PROFITING OFF FEMALE INSECURITY THEY WANT YOU TO FEEL FAT AND UGLY!! THEY WILL BUTCHER UR SURGERY AND THEN TELL YOU ITS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE THAT!! MOTHER FUCKER THEY WILL KILL YOU!! THEY ARE NOT UR FRIEND THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE YOU HATE YOURSELF!! THEY ARE THE FUCKING ENEMY TO ALL WOMEN!!

DO NOT CALL ME BESTIE, GIRLIE, WHATEVER!! I NEED YOU IN A CELL!!!!!!

EHEHE!! NOT EATING FOR 8 HOURS AND CLOTHING SO TIGHT IT RESTRICTS YOU IS SO CUTE AND “SNATCHED” HEHE!! ANYWAYS UR UGLY IF YOU DONT PAY THOUSANDS FOR A BBL!! AAAAHH

[kronkk]

I think John Depp should kill himself

[kronkk]

Calling him Johnny is so stupid bro you're fucking old

[pissyshitties-supreme]

oh, i see! you're just a little salty manhater and abuse apologist

[kronkk]

I think John Depp should kill himself and donate all his money to actual abuse survivors

[pissyshitties-supreme]

because emotionally, verbally and physically abusing isn't real enough for you? the man gets attacked in his own house and you think he should die. have you no shame?

[kronkk]

I really just think John Depp should kill himself, tumblr user pissyshitties-supreme

[pissyshitties-supreme]

yet you are unable to provide a single reason for this. because there is none, he is not the evil villain you think he is. the one whom you are defending is the villain in this story. your little feminist brain just cannot comprehend this reality because it is based on the internet and struggles parsing events that are more complex than putting a straw in a bubble tea. your limited worldview has failed you and it will fail your bloodline if you do not change your ways. i would insult you, but the words to describe a person such as yourself haven't been invented yet. i suggest you close whatever device you use to surf the web and go outside and experience the real world with real facts and also real feelings. maybe then you will learn what it means to be human and to be part of some sort of society

[kronkk]

No, I mean I just believe John Christopher Depp II should kill himself. I really think that would be a good thing.

[kronkk]

[the-locked-cellar-door]

He hasn't done anything wrong.

[kronkk]

Wife beating is nothing wrong to you?

[the-locked-cellar-door]

SHE beat HIM.

[kronkk]

Mutual abuse doesn't exist. "Reactive abuse" is a widely recognized phenomenon where when women finally defend themselves or as that one eloquent user put "finally beat his drunk ass back" they are seen as the perpetrator and not the victim. You fell for a by the book DARVO by John Depp against Amber Heard. John Depp LOST his lawsuit against the sun in England on the grounds that there was SUBSTANTIAL evidence that he abused Amber Heard.

Anyways, John Depp should kill himself.

[the-locked-cellar-door]

HE DEFENDED HIMSELF AGAINST HER.

[kronkk]

Are you this stupid naturally or is it for fun

[nosferatusnoopy]

John Depp should kill himself

[caffeine-swagger-deactivated202]

Depp is an ugly loser freak and someone should cannibalize him.

[kronkk]

He already starred in a movie with cannibal Armie Hammer so unfortunately the chance was missed

[susansontag]

I don't always find there's much on here in feminist tags about how economic imperialism affects women, so I thought I'd start documenting some examples of it when I see them. this is an excerpt from jason hickel's book the divide

[radfemme-rage]

the EU parliament invited *the TALIBAN* to brussels, to have tea with them and discuss sending afghan refugees (i imagine there will at least be some women and girls) back to afghanistan.

let this serve as a reminder to every woman, no matter where you live, it’s not you today but it will be you tomorrow.

you may live in a “progressive” place, but your rights as a woman and girl will always be up for debate and trades with male and patriarchal female politicians in power.

[goblinous]

The implied threat of violence, the shameless disperagement of the female body, the cringe incel-esq derogatory term for women. TIMs really haven't changed in almost 50 years.

It's easy to think that "old school" transexuals were better, but it seems they were just less prominent.

[nansheonearth]

This wikipedia entry is kind of insane. It's worth the entire read. This heterosexual dude's activism was literally just against gay and leftist organizations. The writing tries to take a supportive tone but even then this guy was a cringe straight guy who wanted to break down gay and feminist movements. The entry even says the quote above is satire but all of his actions back up this satire. Then he just went full Nazi/alien conspiracy theorist.

Tl,dr: dude was a Nazi.

[nansheonearth]

Sorry I'm bored and kept going. TAO wasn't even a real organization, but a hangout spot for 10s of crossdressers but claimed to have thousands of members. He lied about trans orgs and even reported a trans org to the irs. Claimed to have participated in Stonewall (NY) while living in LA. Literally everyone from that era had nothing positive to say about him. Also the wikipedia article that says the above quote is satire seems to not include this quote from him:

The 1997 letter as for women becoming obsolete is valid, not whimsical or tongue in cheek.

They've been wildn out since forever.

[she-who-is-two-sizes-too-big]

Y'all realize trans men were historically included in lesbianism only by virtue of exclusion towards trans women, right? Yhat's not a thing to be celebrated or emulated.

Hell, TERF as a term was coined specifically to refer to the supporters and attendees of the Michivan Wombyn's Festival. Which gladly welcomed trans men in with open arms but turned away trans women because as the name suggests they're idea of a "Real Woman" is an AFAB, regardless of gender identity. Its transmisogynistic as fuck.

[doingitatmybirthdaydinner]

yeah female people can be lesbians and male people can’t. male people can’t experience female homosexuality. welcome to earth

[lesbian-sweeney-todd]

What you must understand is:

1. Men are systematically privileged over women.

2. Men love to take advantage of that privilege while simultaneously denying that it exists.

3. This dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans.

[lesbian-sweeney-todd]

Men get very upset when confronted with this!

[godlesssicklady]

So about that "this dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans." part...

Edit: OP blocked me lol

[womynsreality]

The irony here is insane. OP isn’t a lesbian, and trans men don’t oppress him. He’s the oppressor who doesn’t want to acknowledge it in this scenario.

[femalegothic]

men just love to run their fucking mouth about what women do or do not want without even once considering consulting any actual women on the matter

Of course you feel disconnected from your gender it’s quite literally a made up set of rules based on stereotypes

[butchpeace]

Oh good, the Predatory Lesbian trope. Nice to know homophobia is alive and well.

Literally no one has ever proposed genital checks at the doors of bathrooms. That is a deliberate misconstruing of what women want to have happen regarding this issue.

What do women want?

We know that trans “women” who look like biological women have always and are going to continue to use women’s facilities. We might not like that fact, but that’s the world we live in right now. So put the argument that “you can’t tell” out of your mind first.

We’re talking about the ones where you can tell. Which is of course, the vast majority of them.

We’re talking about what rights women have regarding the ones where you can tell that they are male.

We’re especially talking about what rights women have regarding males who have shown themselves to be predatory.

Men don’t seem to believe this has happened, but there are many account of males being allowed to use women’s restrooms and changing rooms, spas, prisons, etc making predatory actions towards women, and getting away with it.

Why? Because the law protects their self-identified gender identity before it protects the woman’s right to be safe from male harassment and violence.

But that never happens! They’ll say. Trans women aren’t predators!

We have the receipts that trans woman predators exist. We have the receipts that many trans women transition for fetishistic reasons. We have the receipts that the vast majority of trans women are attracted to women and that many have a particular fetishization regarding lesbians. We have the receipts that many trans women fetishize violence against women who they deem terfs.

These are males who may transition for a wide variety of reasons, not all of which are innocent, and who may or may not be safe for women to be around in closed, private locations.

The law is telling women that we have no legal right to ask for a predatory male to be removed from a female only space, regardless of his actions.

This is a feminist issue. And framing it as “terfs are predatory dykes who want to see your vaginas” is a fucking ridiculous, homophobic, and completely braindead take.
