There’s more to Radical Feminism than being against pornography and prostitution (e.g.: sex trade abolitionism).

There’s more to Radical Feminism than being against pornography and prostitution (e.g.: sex trade abolitionism).

Radical Feminism has politics on ending capitalism, analyzing and criticizing surrogacy, criticizing [heterosexual] marriage and marriage as an institution, examining patrilineage and challenging it, challenging [patriarchal] religion(s), advocating for and developing a [womon’s] spirituality, criticizing and ending [compulsory] heterosexuality (e.g.: challenging and ending heterosexism and ending heteropatriarchy), examining sexuality and sexual relations (e.g.: sex critical, sex negative, PIV-critical and anti-PIV, political celibacy, heterosexual celibacy, kink critical, anti-BDSM), being against gender (e.g.: being gender critical, supporting gender abolitionism, advocating against gendered socialization also known as sex-role socialization or sex-based socialization, being against queer theory), supporting female solidarity, sisterhood, and feminist consciousness-raising (e.g.: female-only safe spaces like womon’s crisis centres and shelters, female-only CR-groups and events, remembering and promoting the fact that Radical Feminism is strictly a female-centered/gynocentric, female-focused, male-exclusionary Feminism, ending girl-hate/womon-hate and internalized misogyny, decentering maleness in our lives, language, and in praxis), fighting for reproductive rights and reproductive justice (e.g.: access to safe, legal, abortions and voluntary sterilization while being against forced abortions and forced sterilizations), politicizing and examining mothering and child-bearing and child-rearing (e.g.: “the cult of motherhood”, childfree politics, midwifery), politicizing female domesticity (e.g.: “the cult of domesticity”, or “the cult of true womanhood”), criticizing and ending [compulsory] femininity, examining the role of the beauty industries in upholding gendered and racialized oppressions just as we already do with the sex industries/sex trade, incorporating, at least aspects or elements of: Disability Feminism, Womanism, Lesbian Feminism, etc – integrating an understanding of double oppressions (or double jeopardy), triple oppressions (triple jeopardy), multiple oppressions, and intersectionality as it initially relates with the systems of racism and sexism oppressing the lives of women of color, particularly black womon.

Radical Feminism has a lengthy, complicated, contentious and intellectually enlightening and inspiring herstory and also has a very resourceful range of political critiques that provides insights about the world in which we womon are oppressed in. You don’t have to agree with everything you research related to Radical Feminism, most don’t and certain areas of our politics require critique and clarification so that we can gain more grounds for unity as womon wanting to liberate societies from male supremacy and female oppression/sex-based oppression/gendered oppression, white supremacy and racism, heterosexism and homophobia, class oppression and the ending of capitalism and [neo-]colonialism, and other systems, structures, and institutions of oppression.

There’s a lot more to being a Radical Feminist than being a sex industries abolitionist.

Avoiding other areas of Radical Feminist politics can result in a sort of confusion in which womon will claim to be Radical Feminist while rejecting key values and core tenets, such as supporting womon’s access to legal abortions.

Radical Feminism is not conservatism and although one or two RadFem stances may appeal to some conservative womon, it is their misunderstanding of what it means to be a RadFem that makes them misappropriate the politics, which further confuses others as to what our intentions and politics really are.

And there’s a lot to learn and realize and this is not even all of it.

Being a radical feminist doesn’t mean you get to hate libfems or any other type of woman for that matter. Are libfems annoying? Do they have bad takes? Do I believe that their ideas are harmful? YES. But I’m not going to scream that they deserve death like I’ve seen other people do on here.

Maybe a girl isn’t ready to dissect the reasons why she feels the need to shave. I’m not going to call her a fucking idiot. I’m not going to call her worthless. Because she’s not. Why has it become common practice in radfem spaces to hate fellow women for falling into the beliefs that they’ve been groomed to have?

When a radfem talks overtly harshly about other women it tells me that they live within an online echo chamber. Women in real life have bad takes. They have internalized misogyny. Some radfems take for granted the knowledge and strength that they have. Not every woman has read feminist theory. Not every woman is confident enough to advocate for her rights. Women in real life are complicated and possess a mixture or both good and bad traits. No matter what, these women are worth defending and fighting for. They didn’t choose to be conditioned by the patriarchy.

I likely won’t get along with most women, but that’s fine. I’m not a radical feminist because i hate other women, I’m a feminist because to an extent i harbor a deep love for ALL women

This category of women has a number of subcategories.

The first group are fully passive. Bimbos fall into this group. People tend to shit on them the hardest because they don't fight back, but because they're so passive, they're not actually trying to effect change in the social or political spheres. There's definitely a problem of other young women imitating them, but they're the least dangerous, and I think the best way to handle them is to simply set an example by calling out men.

Then you have the ones who actively derail feminist discussion. You've said "maybe a girl isn’t ready to dissect the reasons why she feels the need to shave," but she sure is willing to talk over me when I talk about why I don't want to shave, and because everyone wants women to shave, she's the one society at large sides with. This tangibly impacts me and I do not have to be an endlessly magnanimous sweetheart about it.

Finally, you have the TRAs and sex industry advocates and surrogacy advocates, who are campaigning to pass laws that harm women. These libfems are doing the most harm, and require the toughest response.

At the end of the day, I'm not here to be everyone's mommy. I want a better future for myself and for the most vulnerable women, and if another woman is standing in the way of that, I reserve the right to get angry.

beauty rituals are so mundane. they’re not just normalised, they’re expected of us. and it makes them a hundred times more humiliating.

painting a new face on your own, perfectly normal face? humiliating.

wearing clothes that don’t let you sit comfortably, bend down, walk up the stairs…. degrading

paying other women to apply wax on your intimate parts and armpits and then rip your hair out? wtf even is that.

no matter how much time i spend around women i can’t get used to it: glued eyelashes, lip fillers, fake nails, exposing clothes, hairless, often malnourished bodies…. the thoughts about humiliation women put themselves through never leave my mind

[stillsoblue]

my heart bleeds everyday for the afghan girls and women. they are housebound and have to cover themselves up from top to bottom because they have to "avoid temptation or seduction". they are not allowed to speak in public or appear in public because it is deemed "too intimate." the women can’t look at men. suicide rates have skyrocketed because women and girls would rather be dead than to be a women in afghanistan. it’s not a sin to be a women.

women and girls are denied access to healthcare because they cannot be treated by male doctors, yet they are also barred from education and, therefore, cannot become doctors themselves. shops in afghanistan are even forced to cover up female mannequins. little girls live in fear of becoming child brides, but they dream of being poets, they would kill to get education.

a woman was disqualified from the olympics because she spread the message "free afghan women" at her breakdance performance. there must always be a relative male by their side like women were dogs being treated by their owner, except dogs have more rights than the women suffering.

we must raise awareness, do not look away. these women deserve the opportunities and the human rights that EVERY person does. they are talented, creative and intelligent but men are so scared. scared of women. the taliban tries to erase women. i’m sick. remember: it’s not islam or "just their culture", it is the radical government that feels threatened by women. do not look away.

I always think it’s very interesting that Aileen Wuornos is consistently said to be one of the most notorious serial killers in history, despite the fact that if she was male, her victim count and murder method would barely be considered notable nevermind one of the worst.

She killed 7 Johns by shooting them in the head, yet she gets put on lists with men who raped, tortured, and killed 30+ people.

[littlemissandry]

You cannot be a feminist and pro-prostitution. You either stand with prostitute safety or with the men who use them.

[fizzle-wizz13]

95% of women in prostitution want to leave, but can't because they don't have things such as financial means, healthcare, housing, treatment for addiction, or job training.

this is not a 'choice', and it is not 'empowering'.

there is no consent when a woman is fearing for her life.

[aalexan]

seeing women come out as nonbinary and then start just dressing a certain way. and I just want to tell them that you can not shave and have short hair and not wear makeup and wear androgynous clothes and still be a woman. and the fact that people are trying to sell you the idea that you can’t look that way and still be a woman is misogynistic

[g1rluninterruptedd]

“it’s another culture, be respectful” idgaf 💀 if it’s oppressive to women, it’s a problem, i don’t care if it’s ur customs. girls having to cover themselves, not being allowed to go to school, being violated, not being allowed to be heard, literally being all around disrespected but you expect me to just be cool about it because “it’s culture”.

women do not deserve to be treated as lesser than in the name of anything. idc if it’s your religion, i don’t care if it’s tradition, it’s a bunch of bullshit.

edit: if ur only contribution is reblogging this post to tell ppl i’m a radfem, don’t bother. this is a post about women being abused. if your main takeaway is that the person ur reblogging from might have different views than you, you have some serious growing the fuck up to do.

[empiredivinite]

why is everything i hate men's fault... can they just fucking disappear already?

[moonlightsprinkles]

Seriously men are the root cause of all evil on earth🚶‍♀️

[bodacious-ass]

calling men who are immature and treat women like trash "boys" just takes blame off of what they're really doing. they're still accountable, they're fully grown men who need to take responsibility for their actions

[h3110kttyy]

i hate it when ppl defend the sex working industry, people calling it empowering when it’s definitely NOT like I still remember back in 2020 and 2021 when so many young women who JUST turned 18 would start onlyfans bc it’s “empowering” like these girls were groomed by the media and amount of advertisement of how empowering sex working is. Also literally especially hate those women who cater to pedos and DRESS LIKE LITERAL CHILDREN and pretend to have childlike mannerisms and behaviors in literal PORN like we know who your target audience is.
