people talk about girlboss feminism in the most deranged ways. god, i WISH girlboss feminism was as dominant a cultural force right now as it is in the delusional way some of you people talk about it. please read the room and look around you. where is sophia amoruso? whatās sheryl sandberg up to?? i donāt know because it isnāt fucking 2014 anymore! instead, we have a rapist as the united states president, a disturbing proliferation of tradwife propaganda around every fucking corner, and forced birth in the united states because a womanās right to choose is no longer a federally protected right. if ONLY my biggest concern was rich women telling younger women and girls that they too can aspire to earn money, become professionally powerful, and be independent because we live in a global society where access to money equals power, independence, and self-autonomy. god forBID.
its so hard . to exist knowing that just by existing . u are meat to the rabid dog sitting next to you on the train. interviewing u for a job. the professor who sees u as rotted but chews u out anyway. ur father who wants to keep you in a freezer. u are to be consumed. again and again and again. until u die. then the desperate dig up your bones in the dead of winter to gnaw on. they chew on your memory turning u into something unrecognizable. a meal that never was. you cannot satisfy them even in death. u cannot own your flesh and bones and name even in death.
u let them chew on you occasionally just to feel something with love being impossible against an expiry date. you let them so you can't get upset when they start nibbling too close to the vital stuff and creating scars that won't heal over, except for when u do. then they act like they weren't salivating in anticipation to begin with, they lash out as they've been left out of a meal they've already planned. you are now a reminder of their infinite and indiscriminate hunger. unable to cope with misplaced shame in their need, they try to spin it that not only is being mauled your divine purpose, you should be so lucky. you are evil for wanting to keep your flesh to yourself when there are hungry dogs all around you begging, hunting, plotting and scheming for scraps.
this has Andrea Dworkinās Mercy (1990) energy written all over⦠posting this on here once again:
(ā¦) youāve been mowed down inside, slaughtered inside, a genocide happened in you, but you don't get to die. You're not God's son, you're His daughter, and He leaves you there nailed because you're some stupid piece of shit who loved someone and you will be there forever, in some bed somewhere for the rest of your life and He will make it a long time - He will make you get old, and (ā¦) there will be someone climbing on you and getting in you and God your Father will watch; even when you're old He'll watch.

Kaori Sakamoto on Amber Glenn:
āI think the things that Amber has done for the sport is really just not about the Olympics, every competition she shows us support. She shows me support, and she encourages me, she praises me, and having someone around me in competition creating that atmosphere is really, really, something that makes me feel stronger and assured. Usually in our sport when we are rivals, we tend to not get too close before the competition, but I think Amber broke that stereotype. Sheās the kind of person who thinks, āWhat can I do,ā when she sees someone in trouble or in pain, and sheās able to put that immediately into action. I speak for all of the Japanese skaters, we are all very grateful. She does it because she wants to, and I think I am sort of similar in the same type of person. I really want to help people. Even at my own expense sometimes. I think I really, really, admire Amber as a person.ā

a woman may live a whole life of sacrifice and at her death meekly says, āI die a woman.ā But a man passes a few years in experiments of self-denial and simple life, and he says, āBehold I am a God.ā

Itās okay, you can say Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed etc. etc. etc.
And Thoreau. And Emerson. And the weird neo-hippie guy we all went to college with that went on a 2 week meditation retreat.
Something about the word consent in feminist and liberal lingo has always bothered me. 'Enthusiastic consent' 'Consent is key' 'consent is sexyy' 'Don't post nudes of women on the internet without her consent' 'never put your hands on a woman without her consent', or conversations around the importance of consent in surrogacy, sex work, bdsm, everything. Then it kind of clicked, because consenting to things in these scenarios is a relatively passive action. It is soo one sided. Consent implies that there is one who proposes and one who accepts. Consent is defined as something that 'occursĀ when one person voluntarily agrees to the proposal or desires of another.'
She can consent, even enthusiastically, say yes or no, like a binary code, but she did not design, propose, initiate or orchestrate it, nor can she fully control the outcome in the society she lives in. And this is true on a mass scale. When have you ever heard of sex being described as men consenting to a woman's sexual advances? Or discussions that you shouldn't upload men's explicit pictures without their consent?
Male consent is not considered an important factor because their desires are assumed inevitable, like a force of nature, a neutral, unquestioned starting point, and women can only exist relative to that, to either accept or deny. They can't have active desires of their own. Men are considered actors fundamentally and women are the ones acted upon.
Of course consent is important and essential, but would consent in these scenarios be all that much better than non consent given the coercive society we live in? Consent is a poor ethical framework if taken alone. Consent itself in these scenarios can never be ethical because the premise itself is unequal, as are social interpretations and outcomes, and no amount of agreement will change that.
And once again youāve read my mind and put it to words perfectly.
This is exactly what I mean when I say āconsentā is just the modern equivalent of āsubmit.ā
I love the radical feminist community because it is full to the brim with cycle breakers.
Desi women who have been raised to see them, their sisters and their mothers stripped of their personhood in tightknit patriarchal families, and who have decided they will break with the tradition.
Closeted ex-Muslim women from countries like Pakistan, Iran and Somalia who quietly work towards a life of freedom in apostasy, risking shame and estrangement from their entire families for doing so.
Eldest born daughters who recognise that they should have never had to absorb the rage of their dysfunctional family, and who learn to find the balance between taking care of those they love, and taking care of themself.
Women who grew up around loveless marriages, domestic abuse and crime, who commit decades of their adult life to growing into a healthier person, pursuing a life free of fear, addiction and violence ā to provide a better life for their children.
Underdog women who were made to feel that they could never amount to anything, because they were working class, a ātrouble childā, disabled, undesirable to men, or struggled with their mental health, who then put in the work to psychologically disentangle their self-worth from these false messages.
Women who looked at the unfulfilled lives of their mothers and grandmothers, and who decided that the cycle ends with them; that they will commit themselves to knowledge, personal growth, compassion, fulfilment and adventure, to live the lives that their foremothers couldnāt, for those foremothers.
Cheers to all the cycle breakers out there. In case anyone hasnāt told you today, youāre doing great, keep it up. š„
I sometimes feel crazy that women arenāt grasping that the material conditions of the female sex globally are still extremely poor. Women speak about āpatriarchyā as if itās some ominous, looming figure in the sky. The men in your life are the patriarchy. Men use male solidarity to sexualize, dehumanize, silence women and defend other men. The actions of the patriarchy are sustained by men as individuals.
We are oppressed. We are not in different worlds from the woman in extreme cases of gender apartheid (like Afghanistan, Pakistan, South Africa, Tigray, many more.) Western men are not more benevolent than other men, they donāt hate women less than other men. Itās because women had to save themselves. Women literally committed bombings and arsons for freedom.
The government, and military powers, and religious powers, and the police and courts system, and the medical institution, and the media, and the language we use, and all the money and resources of the entire earth, are still under the control of men for the purpose of serving men.
Of course men would agree that you are empowered in choosing to take their last name, and be feminine, and objectify yourself, and choose to be a stay at home mom, whilst they have power over literal nuclear codes. Itās an illusion. Itās false power.
Men hate women. If they are able to, they will hurt you and exploit you, and no one is coming to save you once you are trapped in a relationship with a man. The justice system is not made to save you. Itās made to protect him. The power imbalance of heterosexual relationships is too vast for me to suddenly ignore all the domination women suffer under and encourage women to be with men.
i think amber heard shouldve beat him up more
Yuma Kagiyama: I Wish Ā» 2025 Grand Prix Final
saw someone arguing that actual sex workers don't like the nordic model as a criticism of it, and the way they talked made it clear they think the nordic model is supposed to be pro-sex worker and is failing at that. and it's like. no. the nordic model is not pro-sex worker, it's designed to be pro-victim. It's to protect victims (who are largely women and girls!) who are being sexually exploited from being charged with a crime. the nordic model discourages prostitution. of course someone who is trying to make money doing that does not like something that makes it harder.
