if, for society to continue on, women must be subjugated, then it is not "humanity" that benefits. it's is men.
if women are required/forced to be: pregnant, or subservient to men, to allow for a "family structure" and a birth rate that allows for the continuation of society, then this subjugation does not benefit all of humanity; it benefits men at the direct expense of women.
radical feminism saved me, i went from a dysphoric, ānonbinaryā lesbian who said i didnt āfeelā female because of the abuse i faced to a proud lesbian woman who no longer feels shackled by porn and male abuse
my csa doesnāt define me, what my abusers made me do doesnāt define me, and what i did to survive doesnāt define me
i love radfems and have never felt so connected to a group of women
no your cnc kink isnāt āhealing your traumaā youāre reenacting it and sexually reinforcing pain means pleasure to your mind
get therapy and realize itās harmful

Prostitution is not the āoldestā profession, who would think giving men sexual advances for trade is older than midwifery, medicine, blacksmith, teaching and farming, prostitution is not profession but one of oldest forms of slavery which is sexual slavery.
me when i cant imagine a woman enjoying sex
if she enjoys it so much, why would she need to charge? when two adults want to have sex, they just have sex. no money needs to change hands unless one party wants sex and is willing to provide money and the other wants money and is willing to provide sex. men using money to bypass the typical consent process is not sex. if these women just loooooved fucking they'd just go out and fuck and wouldn't need the money. if prostitution is based on a love of sex, why aren't an equal number of men prostitutes? surely an equal number of men love sex right?
What you must understand is:
1. Men are systematically privileged over women.
2. Men love to take advantage of that privilege while simultaneously denying that it exists.
3. This dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans.
Men get very upset when confronted with this!
So about that "this dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans." part...
Edit: OP blocked me lol
The irony here is insane. OP isnāt a lesbian, and trans men donāt oppress him. Heās the oppressor who doesnāt want to acknowledge it in this scenario.
The tide is turning š¤
not to keep posting about this but i donāt think a lot of people realize that forcing women to be in a perpetual state of defensiveness, so much so that it is internalized and wired into our brains from the time weāre born, is actual brain damage and directly mirrors the internal wiring of trauma survivors whose nervous systems are constantly on alert and ready to defend even when they donāt need to be. when youāre living in a state of perpetual defensiveness you become neurotic, hypervigilant, obsessive, anxious, depressed, overreactive, self-conscious, afraid. all of the things that have been historically categorized as feminine traits and behaviors. your true internal needs become masked by this compulsion to always be performing to satisfy externally enforced expectations, and you lose your sense of self and create this situation where what you want/need is directly at odds with what you express (or donāt express) to others. which then is what gives birth to the idea that women never know what they want, women are mysterious and hard to understand, women are always contradicting themselves, women are never clear. itās like well..yeah because women are repeatedly traumatized both psychologically and physically from the day theyāre born and only those who are fortunate enough to encounter sisterhood or wise maternal guidance or individually break free from ideology are able to live authentically. and even then it takes so much work to resist because you still have to operate within a culture that doesnāt have a place for liberated women.
Invite both wolves and sheep to a party and only wolves will show up.
If spaces in which women are vulnerable arenāt single-sex, women will not use them. Thatās why we fought for them. Itās because without single-sex spaces, women are house-bound with a short leash, or unable to participate in activities without risking their safety.
This is the same thing that applies to the lack of women in STEM and other male-dominated fields. Women protect themselves. We know whatās dangerous. Itās men.
religion and feminism
religious modesty culture will never be compatible with feminism because it holds the belief that womenās bodies are inherently sexual and provoking men. āiām covering for godā why are you covering for a male god who allegedly made your body? youāre asked to cover your arms and legs and hair, but men are simply asked to lower their gaze and maybe keep themselves well groomed. thatās not equal in the slightest.
thereās an uncomfortable truth in feminist spaces that many women, myself included at times, are afraid to admit: none of the abrahamic religions are compatible with feminism. personally, i have religious friends and thereās that constant desire to not offend them lingering in my mind when i repost certain things but at the same time, if i truly want to be a part in aiding female liberation, i canāt be a coward about this. iāve been trying to read the bible to get a clearer stance of how bad it is but truly the story of adam and eve is enough for me š¤·āāļø
ppl are really not ready to be uncomfortable. when i first wanted to get into radical feminism, i was so hellbent on still shaving because ā well body hair looks weird on everyone! men should shave too!ā then when i saw women saying bitch and cunt were misogynistic slurs, i was so opposed to that because bitch was a part of my daily vocabulary. but at some point, you have to stop being up your own ass and listen to others because sometimes you realizeā¦ you are just dead wrong š and you actually do need to work on yourself. the more i started reading, the more i started seeing and the more i had to evaluate what the fuck I was saying and doing. when i get mad at a woman, why do i call her a bitch? why do i shave even though i donāt really like it? you have to get comfortable with discomfort š¤·āāļø
why does it seem like some women like to suffer? i donāt find anything comical about spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on āmaintenanceā that you donāt even like. i donāt think it makes sense to continue tolerating a shitty man and then cry about it one hundred times. no i donāt get the appeal of restrictive clothing. why is this so normal? free yourselves
Men love womenās bodies, we are told, but only after women spend an inordinate amount of time whipping their bodies into a lovable shapeāby dieting, shaving, waxing, dying, perfuming, covering with makeup, douching, and starving them.
Jane Ward, The Tragedy of Heterosexuality
"I didn't feel like a man/boy"
"I didn't feel like a woman/girl"
You can't feel like a sex because they're not emotions or sensations. It's just a state of being. You're just uncomfortable and unhappy with gender roles forced unto you.
I can assure you most people, especially women, aren't happy with these roles either.
Not feeling "feminine" or not subscribing to sexist gender roles doesn't make you not a woman.
Same how not feeling "masculine" or "manly" doesn't mean that you're not a man.
People who know they aren't special or talented in any way gravitate to the thing that will make them 'special' with the least amount of effort. In this generation its literally just 'identifying as' special.
Also, there"s a ton of navel gazing and way too much coddling of feelings. They think about themselves so much that it becomes a habit, and their enablers cheerlead from the sidelines as they internalise a self-destructive view of their body. It also doesn't help that having specific mental illnesses has become haute couture among some feeble minded teenage girls and young women as of late.
Any other presentation of this symptom is treated as a mental illness. You feel fat even though you're a skeleton? Mental disorder. Like your limbs aren't a part of you? Disorder. Like you're ugly or disfigured? Disorder (albeit barely since plenty of plastic surgeonsnwill happily prey on this one too).
But no, when that perception is sex (which you have no baseline capability of understanding anyway), it's suddenly stunning and brave and OBVIOUSLY is the body that's wrong this time!
It's the principal skinner meme. 'Am I out of touch and mentally ill? No, it's the biology that's wrong.'
My thoughts exactly. People have always asked me why I don't take pictures of my creations and share them on instagram or whatever but I really don't want to! I don't care about any rando's opinion and neither should you.
Something that bothers me just as much as their denial of women's reality, is men's SILENCE on our problems.
They can be told any number of stories about women being victimized, but it rolls off them. They have nothing to say. They don't CARE.
This SILENCE leads to denial of what we face. What's important in societies are often things men care about more.
Give a man on the internet receipts of violence against women and chances are he'll have nothing to say about it, yet he will tell you how hysterical and wrong you are. Similarly, a man will watch violent porn all day, then log on to an account and announce that women have it easy in the world.
The way they don't care is demonic. It fills me with dread.
But I've come to accept that I should surround myself with women who care about women. Men never will.
Just thought to myself "can't women have a bad time in fiction without rape being involved" which really shows you how much you're in the fucking trenches if you are both a horror fan and women fan
Anyway. There's lot of places for these stories don't get me wrong but HUGE shout out to women in horror stories that have terrible things happen that don't involve: pregnancy, motherhood, and/or sexual assault. You too deserve to have a cronenburg eqsue body horror transformation because you trusted a glowing green liquid to solve your problems
Men have hindered the progress of humanity by suppressing geniuses from half the human population. Women were prevented from making meaningful contributions to mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, geology, ecology, etc. for thousands of years.
Think of all the genius women who were forced to become homemakers and housewives, overburdened with 10+ children until their bodies gave in to stress, and perished their intellect - only utilised when a man would steal their ideas without credit.
Men talk about how they "contributed everything" to history and science. The question that should be asked is, how much more advanced would humankind have been were it not for the barbarity of weak men? How much have men slowed human progression because the genius of women made them feel emasculated?
they're so concerned about "what if women ABORTED the baby who would grow up to cure CANCER" but they don't think women are intelligent enough, hardworking enough, or inspired enough to make those advances themselves, which is why it is acceptable under patriarchy to oppress women. With their misogyny it is easy for them to think the only worthy contribution a woman could make to society is to birth a male baby.
