wise words from istanbul
I love being a woman.
I hate what comes with being a woman ā the misogyny, the abuse, the harassment, the sexual assaultā¦
But being a woman in and of itself is just amazing.
I know this is an odd post to make, but in case someone needs to hear it, rad fems have been in your shoes, and still chose to align with radical feminism.
I started wearing makeup and push up bras in middle school. I discovered bdsm in 9th grade and loved it, I based my identity in it. I've dated/slept with 8 different trans women, and my longest relationship was with a trans woman just a few years back. I identified as a trans man from 16 to 21, and started medically transitioning when I was 19. I used to look at porn every day because I didn't understand the harm it did, and I actually used to post sexual videos of myself online for praise and approval. I was so vehemently pro "sex work" that I would've pursued it as an income had I not been so aware of how it'd affect my future career.
I was radicalized when I realized how much all of these things were based on who I was trained to become by the patriarchy, or in reaction to trauma it had caused me. I slept with so many TIMs for the validation and to feel like a good person, I was into kink because I had been sexually assaulted since infancy and it felt like an escape from normal sex while still fulfilling the male fantasy, I was transitioning to escape all of the expectations put on me as a female who just couldn't be "woman" enough. My life has been ruled by the patriarchy, and opening my eyes to the amount of brain washing I went through, from Christianity as a kid all the way through being a queer teen on the internet made me a rad fem. We were just like you, and we still became radical feminists.
the "man-hating lesbians" are on your side. the "old hags" are on your side. the "bitter divorcee women" are on your side. the "bitter childless women" are on your side. the "evil heartless witches" are on your side. the "evil abortionist women" are on your side. the "terfs and swerfs" are on your side. men will always rather you think otherwise.
āfat is sexyā ācurves were symbols of fertility for thousands of yearsā or we could not define a womanās worth by how appealing she is to a man?
i really donāt like the body positivity movement because why is it so sexualised? thatās not body positivity thatās just redirected sexualisation of female bodies
Incels: women should literally be cattle with no rights and if they hurt my feelings i should have every right to assault and kill them
Radfems: we deserve spaces away from men who think like that
Every uneducated person whose understanding of "radfem" is what they briefly were told on twitter: these two things are literally the same
after World War 2, soviet female soldiers were not met with respect.
while male soldiers that were coming back were praised, women used to hide their medals and kept their own victories as secrets. they were not only seen as lesser beings, women that fought in the military were called "frontline dolls". post-war society considered them used. families estranged them.
women that fought for their country, risked their lives, came back disabled were not important to the society anymore. they were raped, they had things thrown at them, they were laughed at. no man wanted to marry them, and nothing was as dehumanasing towards women as not being considered "marriage material" -- they basically lost all of their worth to male society.
to our knowledge, there was close to 1 million of women on the frontlines. they fought just as hard only to lose their lives either in combat, or back home. most of their names were lost and never remembered again.
Heterosexual TIMs are obsessed with having sex with lesbians because lesbianism constitutes a very firm, very clear boundary: No men. At the same time, they grow offended when rejected by bisexual women because bisexuality supposedly constitutes having no boundaries.
In the end, whether theyāre looking to break down a boundary or take advantage of the supposed lack of one, the message is the same: Women donāt have the right to refuse menās sexual advances. Women donāt have the right to say āno.ā
āMy prayer for women of the 21st century: harden your hearts and learn to kill.ā
ā The late Andrea Dworkin (rest in power)
God forbid that women want to feel comfortable and safe in a MATERNITY WARD. This is fucking ridiculous.
friendly reminder that the large-scale oppression of women would not be mathematically possible without the complicity of every man you know. if the men in your life were truly loyal to you, they would be fucking outraged at what's happening/happened to women and it would be virtually impossible for this "minority" of misogynist men to impact women's lives so widely.
coincidentally, ive been sick for the past few days so i havent been to work, and ive also decided i need to stop wearing makeup. i plan on going back to work tomorrow, bare faced, and i'm not ready for the "are you sure you feel okay? you look like shit" comments from my coworkers. i wish it was just in my head but on days that i have chosen to go to work barefaced (feeling completely fine and not sick btw) ive gotten comments like that. i hate working with mostly men.
Normie Tumblr's saying Ethel Cain is back. Time to reload, radblr.
never gonna forget this post
@mothercain
Don't forget the doubling down with calling women r*tards and psych ward regulars!
@mothercain No one here has forgotten who you are or the things you've said and done, Macon Horner.
Hes the one who peaked me!!!! Thank u Mr Horner for showing me the light!!!!!!
Men be like āLet me just play Devilās Advocateā like no, Shut up. You are the Devil
This post Has Influenced Me Beyond Reason.. Yesterday a man said to me āwell, to be devilās advocate-ā and I said āthereās no āadvocateā, men are the devil and when you speak its with his tongueā and he stared at me until be both awkwardly laughed bc i momentarily was haunted by a Victorian feminist ghost
negl when men start with āwell to be the devilās advocate for a minuteāā I just shut it down w āI donāt give a shit. There is no acceptable argument to be made in opposition to [this subject]. Either admit these opinions are your own or shut the fuck up.ā
I am not considered fun at parties.
