the radfems are right

woman = adult human female ♀️ tired of pretending this isn't common knowledge. apologize to your mother if you've ever argued otherwise 🇨🇦

“women used to marry young and have a lot of children” VS “men used to marry women when they were still little girls and force them to be pregnant and give birth their whole life”.

“in the past women didn’t get education” VS “in the past, men stopped women from getting education and excluded them from all cultural spheres”.

“muslim women must wear hijab” VS “muslim men force muslim women wear hijab”.

“in this country, abortion is illegal” VS “men in this country made women getting abortion illegal”.

women’s oppression doesn’t happen by itself. women’s oppression isn’t passive. there is an oppressor class that actively chooses to oppress women, and the oppressor class is MEN.

Your misbehaving boyfriend is not funny to me

[radicalheretic]

There's a trans identified male who lives in the apartments across the street from me. I have to walk my female dog through the complex daily to get to the park, and whenever this guy is outside he tries to talk to her and pet her. My dog has reacted anxiously and gets upset.

I have told him multiple times that she doesn't want to be pet, she has a history of abuse and he completely ignores it. Sometimes this guy has a friend outside with him, and I have said to his friend IN FRONT OF HIM, that my dog is afraid of men because of abuse history.

This guy literally said, "It's okay I'm a girl". (he literally said girl btw, not even woman). And he continues to keep trying to talk my dog and bother her to the point I've now had to go completely out of my way by 15 minutes to get to the park.

And it's just funny because my dog obviously doesn't know what a fucking transgender is. She is following her natural instincts based of past experiences. She recognizes a man and is afraid because she has been hurt by men before. And it's no different than women recognizing potentional danger.

Everytime they try to force and convince us they are women, they are trying to get women to ignore their natural instincts. Natural instincts that keep us safe. I find it even more dangerous when I think of little girls who are now being taught to ignore their instincts from the get-go because they are being lied to about what a man is and what a woman is. Trans activists are teaching them to be disconnected from their feelings, intuition, and reality.

When I was little girl I was left alone by my grandmother in the book isle of the grocery store because I was well behaved and liked to read. A strange man came up to me and I remember feeling immediatly nervous and uneasy. I was a kid so I never would have been able to articulate why I automatically felt that way. But I was right because he started showing me porn from a book and asking me if I knew what that was. I had no idea what that was, but I knew he felt wrong and I ran away to find my grandmother.

I had never felt this unease around stranger women, but this is just one example of where as a child I felt uneasy around a man and when I followed that instinct I protected myself.

So imagine what it's doing to these girls when trans activists tell them, no that's not a man, that's a woman. You know women are safe and that's actually a woman.

And it frustrates me so badly because trans activists say that kids are so accepting, they don't complicate things like adults do. You see this often with the teachers who teach trans ideology. They tell us how little kids are so understanding and just go with it when it's explained to them. News flash, they aren't "understanding and accepting", they're taking everything you say at face value because they are children and easy to manipulate and lie to.

This is what we mean we say trans identified people and trans activists are grooming children. Groomers teach a child to ignore their gut instincts and feelings, they trick them and gain their trust.

I usually just talk about trans identified males and all their bullshit, but the women who take part in this are just as responsible for grooming a generation of little girls.

My dog knows what a man is. I know what a man is. Little girls know what a man is. Manipulating women into ignoring their instincts is just trying to make us have our guard down so they can take advantage of us.

Nearly half of women, girls ‘do not own their bodies’, UN says

UN says nearly half the women in 57 countries lack bodily autonomy, including in decisions over sex with partners.

"The report, titled My Body is My Own (PDF), looked at both women’s power to make their own decisions about their bodies and the extent to which countries’ laws support or interfered with that right.

In the 57 developing countries where data was available, the report found 45 percent of women were not fully empowered to make choices over healthcare, contraception, and whether or not to have sex. There were differences across regions: While 76 percent of women in eastern and southeastern Asian make their own decisions over their bodies, the figure is less than 50 percent in sub-Saharan Africa and in central and south Asia.

In some countries – Mali, Niger and Senegal – more than 90 percent of women are deprived of their bodily autonomy, the report said."

“In terms of laws that constrain women, the report found that 20 countries or territories worldwide have “marry-your-rapist” laws, where a rapist can escape criminal prosecution if he marries the woman or girl he raped, while 43 countries have no legislation addressing the issue of marital rape.

The report also said more than 30 countries across the world restrict women’s right to move around outside the home.

Separately, the UNFPA said despite constitutional guarantees of gender equality in many countries, on average, women enjoy just 75 percent of the legal rights of men.

And only 71 percent of countries guarantee access to overall maternity care, while only 75 percent ensure full, equal access to contraception.”

"Mothers are uncelebrated, overworked, and made to endure thankless drudgery" and "Society equates womanhood with motherhood and romanticizes the role of mothers to push women towards domestic confinement" are both true statements about patriarchy by the way

[parasitefem]

women’s criticism on male authors putting rapey undertones into their novels should be taken completely seriously btw. it doesn’t make them less intelligent or intellectual for refusing to read anything with misogynistic material

[watermelinoe]

if it's so unethical to want to avoid giving birth to an unhealthy baby why should women avoid drugs and alcohol during pregnancy

[watermelinoe]

what it all comes down to is the belief that pregnancy is god's will, that babies are gods creations, and women's bodies are just the vessels he uses to make life. it's the belief that pregnancy is passive. anything the woman does to actively interfere with god's plan is her playing god and acting above her station.

but we know this is bullshit, that women's bodies make unconscious decisions regarding pregnancy, from conception to miscarriage, prioritizing her welfare above all else. if binge drinking during pregnancy is an active choice that creates a disabled child, materially so is continuing a pregnancy that you know will create a disabled child. there is no difference in outcome for the child who has to deal with the lifelong disability. and there's no material difference between miscarriage and abortion, either, except that one is a conscious choice. fundamentally, what people are uncomfortable with is women defying what they see as divine authority by exerting her own will over creation. but she's the only god in this scenario, because nobody's getting created without her.

men will complain 'but women forced their way into male spaces first' and they mean like. steady employment, hobbies or politics

[whiteofwinter]

The older i've gotten the more i've come to think that a substantial amount of people (mostly men) don't really have an internal sense of morality. Like there are two questions they ask themselves when deciding to do something and that is 1. will this benefit me and 2. will i face negative consequences for doing it. and that's it. No asking themselves if it negatively impacts others, just selfishness.

It’s funny that when you address the fact that men have more physical strength than women, people act as though you’re saying women are inferior. Like do you people think gorillas are superior to humans? maybe in a boxing match, sure, but I don’t see gorillas running successful democracies and building rockets to take them to the moon.

[gender-machine-broke]

“Ohhh so you think women are just useless little fragile waifs who can’t take care of themselves and should be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen” no. Literally no one said that either. Women have several physical advantages over men including flexibility, more dexterous hands, and better resistance to famine and disease. But in a world where everything was designed for men and their bodies and men regularly use their greater physical strength to terrorize women, pretending there are zero physical differences between the sexes is not the more feminist stance. It puts women in harm’s way

[bushpropaganda]

exactly!!! painting physical strength disparities as anti-feminist only serves to aid male violence and victimize women. you teach a woman that she's as (physically) strong as any man, and she will be woefully unprepared when she's in a situation where it's her strength against his.

if you've ever had to fight off a man, either for your safety or another woman's, you would realize how insanely strong even the most sedentary man is. in addition to natural upper body strength, they have longer arms, larger hands, and stronger grip strength—it's easier for them to grab you, and when they do, you are not getting away without fighting dirty.

it's why women's self-defense classes teach unique incapacitation methods that do not rely on upper body strength, but on weak spots, dexterity, and making use of our legs.

i want all these feminists who have an issue with this to ask a man in their lives to subdue them without holding their strength back. then i want them to try and get away. then i want them to come back to me with how it went.

now, imagine a situation where a man's full intent is to hurt you, where he is exercising the full extent of his strength in an attempt to victimize you, and ask yourself how that would go.

instead of pretending that the strength disparity doesn't exist in an effort to prove women's value, stop making physical strength a defining factor of worthiness.

I know this is rude and not very cash money of me but some women date/marry/procreate with absolute fucking losers. Complete wastes of oxygen; can’t do housework, have poor hygiene, are selfish, mean and have the nerve to be ugly on top of everything. I simply don’t get it like idk if it’s because I came out the womb an ornery baby with zero patience but like…I just don’t get it honestly. Sometimes I’ll hear my friends tell me about their bf or husbands and I have to wonder “is being single just not an option??” Especially if no children are involved and your finances aren’t tied up together. I just don’t get it

[lesbofuturism]

libs comparing feminist anti-pornography beliefs to evangelical anti-pornography beliefs is so dumb because the evangelical approach is rooted in the idea that masturbation itself is a sin and a woman’s body belongs to her husband while the feminist approach is that a woman is not public property to be abused and raped on video for men to attain sexual gratification from. The feminist approach is ending the sex trade that provides victims to the pornography industry. These two beliefs are not similar when critical thinking is involved.
