istg nothing brings me more rage that seeing people say “ cis woman have cis privilege over trans women also don’t you know transwomen are more oppressed ” and try to explain to you how oppression works on different axes as if you don’t fucking understand how it works. Yes, I know someone can be oppressed because of one axis but then be considered privileged on a different axis. No I can not be both oppressed and privileged on the same axis ( in this case sex). Women DO NOT have privilege on the axis of sex for being of the female sex. P E R I O D.

  Also fuck people who basically dare say “cis” women have privilege for being women as if that’s not the reason we have been brutalized by men for ages like we aren’t oppressed because of some abstract concept in men’s heads lol they know what women are , I know what women are so STOP the bs. 

[belestialbairybings-deactivated]

a man doesn’t have male privilege because he didn’t like being a boy growing up, but a woman has “cis” privilege because?????

[baepsrae]

this post makes no sense lol cis people have cis privilege because they’re cis. ofc cis women are oppressed for being women, but they still have that privilege. this is like questioning if straight women have straight privilege of if white women have white privilege. like ofc they do but thy doesn’t mean they’re not still oppressed for being women. like you realise how stupid you sound?

[belestialbairybings-deactivated]

i am laughing so hard at you thinking i’m the one that sounds stupid after you wrote this dumbass response, goodbye.

[eatshrooms]

“Women are oppressed for being women, but they still have that privilege”… we are privileged because of our oppression?

[queen-of-putresence]

THIS JUST IN, OPRESSIONS CAN INTERSECT. THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF OPRESSION. A STRAIGHT CIS WOMAN WILL HAVE BOTH STRAIGHT AND CIS PRIVILEGE HOWEVER SHE WILL BE OPRESSED BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. THAT IS BECAUSE NOT ALL OPRESSION IS THE SAME AND NOT ALL OPRESSION DEALS WITH THE SAME THINGS. THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT.  

[belestialbairybings-deactivated]

There is no privilege in being viewed as a woman in a society that hates women. 

[queen-of-putresence]

No, however there is privilege is being cisgender. Two different types of oppression

[hanwhateverthefuck]

Like are you for real trying to sit here and basically say cis privilege doesnt apply to cis women? Quality stuff right there

[belestialbairybings-deactivated]

lmao, i’m saying there’s no such thing as “cis” and “cis privilege” cannot apply to women anyway because women cannot benefit from the same system that oppresses them, that’d be like telling me a poc that i benefit from being born poc because transracial white-assigned people aren’t recognized as poc…..

[hanwhateverthefuck]

Like I said, quality stuff.

[moonlit102-deactivated20211203]

By your logic, people of color are privileged over Rachel dolezal lmao. The abuser I reported this year brags about being treated as a white male with a change of clothes, a privilege I have never had and will never have in my lifetime.

[hanwhateverthefuck]

I assume youre talking to me, so… By my logic, oppressions and privileges can intersect and that just because someone is a woman doesnt mean that they dont have some privilege(s). I know that I have white privilege for instance, but I dont have male or cis privilege.

[en-cima]

You need to travel to countries where being a woman has absolutely no power and no privilege for you to understand how stupid you sound, if you really think being a woman is ‘cis privilege’ then you don’t think of women as an oppressed class. 

[hanwhateverthefuck]

Quality stuff y'all. I hope you actually give a shit about the women that are even more overtly oppressed in other countries instead of just exploiting them as weak debate points, btw.

[en-cima]

I’m literally an African woman.. like I’m not exploiting my people for ‘weak debate points’ ..apparently giving a shit about oppressed women counts as that.

[hanwhateverthefuck]

Im sorry for the assumption, but do understand that the vast majority of people that spew that bullshit are white. And I mean, Im already not invested in this conversation because if you were actually interested in learning about it youd have googled it some or shit, and actually listen to what people are telling you. Im just god honest here to fuck with you

[en-cima]

just admit you’re full of shit, you haven’t provided anyone with factual evidence that women are indeed ‘cis-privileged’ you just think that by saying that its somehow true.You tried to deflect with that dumb ass ‘ the vast majority of people who spew that bullshit are white’ nonsense, forgetting the fact that prominent African feminist writers (chimamanda) talk about woman in the same way you think these ‘white’ radfems do.. idk Maybe you need to ‘google’ it.

[belestialbairybings-deactivated]

a man doesn’t have male privilege because he didn’t like being a boy growing up, but a woman has “cis” privilege because?????

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

Yeah, and how would that fly on any other axis or privilege? Like “didn’t like being rich growing up, so no class privilege”. Uh, fuck you?

[theinkstainsblog]

Read the National Geographic special issue on Gender. There’s whole articles on this with the sources and everything included in there but I’ll sum up for you: 

People (by which I mean actual scientists who are qualified to do this) did studies on how people’s brains are formed/shaped. Male and female brains show various slight differences. They are distinguishable. 

Now here’s where it gets interesting. They looked at scans of transgender people’s brains. What do you think they found? 

They found that their brains most closely followed the patterns of the gender that they said they were rather than the gender they were assigned.  

Get that? 

So if a woman was assigned male at birth because she had a penis and they scanned her brain, they found her to have the brain shape expected in a woman. It wasn’t exactly the same but it was clearly much closer to female than to male. 

Once those people started hormone therapy and everything, the brain shape grew even closer to the gender they said they were (the gender that they ARE) until it was pretty much identical. You couldn’t tell the difference except yep, that’s a female brain now regardless of whether she was assigned male at birth. 

It is thought to be this that causes dysphoria in the transgender people who suffer it: since their brain is a female brain (or vice versa) making them female it causes a disconnect between that and what their eyes see when they look at their body. 

So there ya are. Science proves transgender people are the damn gender they say they are. 

Can I have my $1000 dollars now or do you wanna pay it to the National Geographic so they can keep up this education, I don’t mind which?

[the-fandom-cat]

Give this person their $1000

There doesn’t appear to be scientific consensus on this lol. And if the brains of transwomen are really more similar to ours, why is it that they retain a male pattern of criminality? 👀

[brutereason]

This how sexism tends to work. Very rarely does someone just come right out and say that women should shut up and talk less. Instead, they come up with a lot of irrelevant reasons for women to feel self-conscious about their voices. Most people who lodge these complaints likely don’t mean to bully women into shutting up. It’s often a sense of vague irritation, which they pin on the women themselves, instead of wondering if it’s just that they themselves have been trained to resent it when women are the ones holding the floor.

The war on female voices is just another way of telling women to shut up   (via ablogwithaview)

This is one of the most frustrating things about discussing social issues: it’s subtle. And people are likely to act like anything that isn’t overtly, cartoonishly sexist or racist or homophobic isn’t real sexism or racism or homophobia.

[heirloomparasite]

lmao it’s not patronizing to women to acknowledge that society and the things we watch/read/etc can influence us. i fucking hate that perspective. ‘women aren’t babies w no critical thinking!!’ yes. i agree. now let’s do some critical thinking about what we have unconsciously been absorbing from our surroundings since we were babies w no critical thinking

[celtyradfem]

I actually feel patronised that they use this line to deflect criticism. People who do this to shut down criticism don’t think women can handle feminist analysis of cultural practices and social conditioning.

When people pull the “you think women are stupid because you think women are capable of being influenced” it makes me think that they believe women to be mentally delicate that we can’t even contemplate just the suggestion that not every we do or think are of our own doing.  That we can’t consider new ideas and perspectives or we might have a nervous breakdown if we realise we’ve internalised some toxic bullshit.

They seem to think that admitting that people can be influenced by outside influences is admitting weakness instead of admitting that people are social creatures and capable of being influenced or misled. 

How hard it is to admit that you are not above influence?

[someassholeontheinternet]

Yes!^ they think women are all mentally frail and will collapse if engage in any self-criticism and we don’t think positively of our selves 24/7. I find it extremely insulting to my intelligence tbh

[bloodyfeminist-deactivated20210]

While men strive to be actually powerful, girls and women are spending their time watching makeup tutorials and spending their money on expensive palettes and fast fashion micro-trend shit to be hot for men, and then using BS queer theory and postmodernist pseudo-academic language to convince themselves it’s the same as real power. I’m so sick of it

[lilyviolet-deactivated20210926]

I forget which woman on here said that the correct way to respond to people’s insistence that something is empowering is to ask yourself what it empowers you to do. It has been years since I read that and I still think of her advice on a regular basis.
