“It’s painful when I hear/see quotes from men, waxing poetic about how violent and inhumane “we” “humans” are “to each other”. When historically and globally, males account for the vast, vast majority of violence. Mostly against women. I used to wonder, how could these men – fancying themselves profound and in-on Truth – possibly call “humans” violent when they are technically the source? But I guess that’s what happens when the only people you consider humans are other men.”

It took 100 years of feminism to reach a point where women could be full human adults in the west and it took only a couple of years and male podcasts to convince men that women are inferior retarded children that must be controlled

Male socialization is cope, their brains are wired to hate you.

[radfemcroatia-deactivated202505]

Misogyny is a male's natural state. All men, regardless of the time period, country, continent, culture, etc. are misogynist. You can't fight against someone's nature, especially when they have no reason to change.

Women really need to stop birthing their own oppressors.

[erectolobiform]

so has any human being who isn’t an MRA or a troll or a terf in disguise actually used the term ‘cotton ceiling’ or

[generalchelseamayhem]

I’m an MRA and I’ve never heard that term before. What is it supposed to mean?

[erectolobiform]

it means nobody likes you go away

[generalchelseamayhem]

Gonna assume it’s not something I’d ever say then.

[sosungalittleclodofclay-deactiv]

Cotton ceiling is the tendency of trans women to be excluded from the higher echelons of (cis-dominated) women’s and queer spaces — specifically within the porn industry, but also society in general. It is a manifestation of transmisogyny at the intersection of cissexism, misogyny, and the glass ceiling

[generalchelseamayhem]

I mean I don’t use it, and I don’t really understand it etymologically, and I think it’s couched in a lot of fancy language which means a lot less than it says, but… I don’t see what’s wrong with it, either…

[ohno-zombees]

You don’t see what’s wrong with women’s underwear being called a barrier to be broken through?

[erectolobiform]

the underwear being referred to ISNT the cis women’s; it’s the trans woman’s (or fat, disabled, nonwhite, etc. woman- the cotton ceiling often refers to radicalized bodies in general). the implication is that what is in the trans woman’s pants is excluding her from spaces and connections, and it’s something she needs to overcome. transphobes twisted the language the other way to demonize trans women.

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Dude, I was around for the Cotton Ceiling Conference.

Like, literally irl around. It was hosted nearby, even, and I spoke with Morgan Page, one of the people presenting it.

It distinctly referred to the underwear of lesbians who refused to find trans women sexually attractive.

But hey, don’t take my word for it! Let’s hear from Avory Faucette, a trans activist involved with the Cotton Ceiling:

[T]he cotton ceiling [is] us[ed] to challenge cis lesbians’ tendency to support trans causes generally but draw the line at sleeping with trans women or including trans lesbians in their sexual communities.

Drew Deveaux, the originator of the term, is even more specific:

“The cotton ceiling is a theory proposed [by trans porn star and activist Drew DeVeaux] to explain the experiences queer trans women have with simultaneous social inclusion and sexual exclusion within the broader queer women’s communities. Basically, it means that cis queer women will be friends with us and talk day and night about trans rights and ending transmisogyny, but will still not consider us viable sexual partners.

The term cotton ceiling is a reference to the “glass ceiling” that second wave feminist identified in the workforce, wherein women could only advance so high in the workforce but could not break through into positions of power and authority. The cotton represents underwear, signifying sex.”

So right there from the horses’ mouth–

The cotton ceiling represents underwear, signifying sex, and the underwear in question refers specifically to lesbians’

Please, don’t try to retcon history to someone who watched it go down.

[grumpyolhousecat-deactivated201]

They are trying to backtrack and rewrite their own disgusting misogynist terms to make them more palatable to the masses. Nope. The cotton ceiling is most definitely rape culture rhetoric. Anyone who says otherwise is flat out lying because they know how disgusting it makes them look.

[translesbophobia]

“Sexual exclusion”. What a rape-y thing to call women’s natural boundaries.

^ From the horses mouth (again)

^ “Breaking sexual barriers” (implying that the “cotton” part of “cotton ceiling” = women’s underwear to be “broken” through, as one would wish to “break” through a glass ceiling)

^ Even from a pro-trans perspective this sounds entitled and rape-y as shit!! More examples here and receipts of trans people using the term unironically here.

[quetzalcoatl-privileged-blog]

lmao look at them trying to redefine the word

[auntiewanda]

Of course they are. They got called out for what it is and now it has to be the terf’s fault somehow. 

[thepersynposts]

[tumbirgirlsworld]

wtf 🫩🫩🫩🫩

[throatofdelusion12]

are yall terfs just now learning that gender is a made up concept to divide labor?

Wait no bc y'all were born with a brain the size of a walnut

[tra-archive]

You’re correct! Gender is a made up, sexist social construct and so is gender identity. That’s kind of our whole point lmao.

[northw0man-deactivated20201019]

I was watching a documentary series called Women Behind Bars, and the first story was about a woman who was imprisoned on first degree murder charges for shooting her father, who had been raping her for most of her childhood. And she said “the thing I like about prison is that I get to decide what I do with my own body.” Like, that’s the saddest thing in the world.

[northw0man-deactivated20201019]

also, they wouldn’t even give her any leniency cause they made her reenact the scene after she shot him, and because she was dissociating, she seemed very calm and collected, so they locked her up as a cold blooded killer, and the fucking prosecutor was like “how could she do this to her own flesh and blood” like EXCUSE ME? She was his flesh and blood, and he was RAPING HER FOR 10 YEARS SINCE THE AGE OF 8. 

[cecaeliawitch]

Men really do protect each other from the consequences of their actions and in the cases where they it’s too late they’ll go ahead and enact vengeance for the rapist/murderer.

[darthvatrix]

I hate pedophiles, incesters and rapists.

[timteractions]

“her feminism focuses on women and not gender” oh well thank god

[empiredivinite]

the concept of feminism focusing on women.

[theomgnurse]

Ridiculous. But it’s opened a lot of eyes so keep it up. Women are finally getting sick of their ahit and can see the male entitlement.

Aileen Wuornos in a 1992 letter to her childhood best friend, from the book “Dear Dawn: Aileen Wuornos in her own words”.

[vexingwoman]

If you hear the words “adult human female” and YOU interpret that as being nothing more than a baby making machine, YOU are the misogynist.

[tumbirgirlsworld]

I can’t fucking fathom how misogynistic we’ve become, when a woman can state a literal biological fact and still get branded as a transphobic bigot.

[theomgnurse]

Lmao like what is she talking about. Ridiculous JK didn’t do anything wrong but support women.

[femenemenism]

men are violent to other men if they're too feminine, men are gross to trans identified males, it still doesn't make them women, being harassed isn't a female trait

[vexingwoman]

thinking about the fact that there’s practically nothing preventing children from consuming hardcore pornography on the internet, but yet you could be jailed for handing a child a pornographic magazine.

I just seriously don’t understand why porn is so fucking accessible. I don’t understand why it’s easier for a child to access violent porn than it is for them to purchase a PG-rated movie.

[ovaryuri]

woman back in like the 1800s or something: I want to be able to explore the world and pursue higher education. but because i am a woman, the world will not allow me to do such things. this is why i made the difficult decision to cut my hair, bind my breasts, and pretend to be a man— all so that i can truly live.

people with stale gumballs in their head instead of a brain: omg trans icon! he's so gender! trans people have always been here and accomplished so many things 🥰 don't point out that he was a woman experecing sex based oppression or you're literally if hitler and jkr fused together

[hexagon-club]

They also do this thing where they take a single line from a diary of a 19th century woman saying something like "my life would be easier if I had been born a man" and take it is proof that she was definitely transgender and trans people have always existed. Yet they will also look at a detrans person who got a formal diagnosis of gender dysphoria and fully medicalised themselves and lived as a trans person for 20 years, and they will say that this person was never actually trans. Almost as if there isn't really a consistent definition for what "trans" even is.

[yonicstar]

Some people really are like "it's okay to have a rape kink, but saying women are female... well, that's just too much"

[niiwa-angel]

"it's okay to fantasize about raping your little sister, but saying lesbians don't like males... Well, that's just dangerous"

@baldblonde on tiktok !!!

[enchantingcheesecakepersona]

There’s literally a sex offenders support subreddit where pedophiles do not seem to be sincerely remorseful. The overwhelming majority of these pedophiles will post complaints about being inconvenienced with tell others when moving about offences to schools/ neighbours and workplaces. In some areas they have to pay an annual fine which they act as if it’s the worst thing imaginable. These predators are not safe and should not be around children/ women in society.
