On the note of reordering society, I really love Valerie Solanas' assertation that a male rebel or anarchist does not exist. Men cannot rebel against the system, only reorder it. Male "rebels" will still go and rape or abuse women--which is using power to hurt others, just like their own oppressors do. A male, especially one who rapes or abuses, cannot be an anarchist, because anarchy is inherently against power, and rape is the utmost way to use power to hurt someone. It is antithetical to anarchy.

No male rebel can exist because the "anarchist" male simply wants to replace the men on top, not eliminate those positions.

[no--thank---you]

In oral testimony, Antonia García, a communist and antifascist activist, told of frequent incidences of sexual harassment at the homefront and claimed that the saying that "men are communist, socialist, or anarchist from the waist up” was very popular among women.

i just wanna say thank you for posting truthfully. i have no issues being female and actually LIKE it now, and a year ago i'd have thought it unfathomable to exist in my body without surgery. and a huge part of it is following other feminist butches and masculine women online, because it's so hard to find us irl, especially those without a gender identity. thank you so much, being a woman doesn't have to be so painful and alienating and nothing's wrong with me!

i’m happy my posts have helped you a lot. i’ve never had a gender identity but i knew i dealt with extreme discomfort being female and masculine and gay. at its peak, my friends and gf at the time all tried to convince me to “try it out” (transitioning, labels, pronouns) because of what i look like and my hobbies. not even expressing to anyone this discomfort but they just assumed it would be better for me. it’s a social contagion. it’s possible to get through it without irreversible surgery or hormones. talking to detrans women had helped me, too.

no one will un-woman me. no one will take away my actual lived reality. i’m not here to convince anyone. i just simply exist as i am. if being an example is enough to save even 1 woman from the pain and anguish, that’s enough for me.

interesting how kinks and fetishes are okay with the ‘queer community’ and ‘kink shaming’ is bad but they’ll call lesbians ‘genital fetishists’ for not liking penis hmmm

[meanevilandcruel]

Cause wym you like someone pissing on you and it’s ok to be walking a human with a dog mask on at Walmart in front of children, but lesbians can’t say they prefer other women (which is the whole meaning of lesbian)

[thisoldporch]

Very pro weird girl. Not budging on that.

I love you OPill I don’t take you but I love that you exist I love you OTC daily contraceptive OPill that’s less than a dollar a day I love you easily available without prescription needed oral birth control

[kronkk]

I love you no-prescription needed OTC daily oral birth control that you can get at Walmart, Amazon, Walgreens, cvs, and sometimes local grocery chains and small pharmacies

PSA: don't blame yourself for feeling aroused by pornography and misogynistic kinks. First of all, the fact that you consciously dislike it already means you don't want it — everyone who tells you otherwise thinks like a rapist. And also we live in a society oversaturated with images of female sexual degradation — it would be more surprising if you actually weren't influenced by it in one way or another. Where are you even supposed to get an idea that it doesn't have to be that way? Even fem"dom" is hardly about women being dominant over men. You are not to blame for not developing a healthy sexuality in a world that desperately doesn't want you to. This can be fixed, but with a deliberate effort and power of will, because it requires going against the current.

[no-i-can-not-shut-up]

Always remember that it’s very easy to condition sexual arousal, and it is never your fault for being groomed! Even if you sought it out, even if you used to like it. Whatever reason, it was never your fault.

Especially with the rise of girls being exposed to the internet at increasingly younger ages, we need to try and break the cycle for those girls.

You cannot help others if you have not helped yourself! Practice self love and self forgiveness. Be kind to your past self!

[gaydiation-poisoning]

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

[gaydiation-poisoning]

Like there is a difference between "My trauma creates impulsive urges and has changed my instinctive reactions to be irrational, I need to relearn shit." vs "I'm traumatized so I Can't Help It and you're not allowed to expect better of me"
