Just wanted to say the fact that you’re learning about radical feminism at your age is incredible. There will be many things in life that make it seem like giving in to adhering to the patriarchy or dating men is safer or easier, but you know reality. Stay fast in your belief and try to share it with other girls around you, it will help and it’s important. Most of all do what you love, especially at your age it’s easy to get bogged down by these harrowing statistics and headlines. Take time away from social media to just be.

cant remember who said this originally (not on tumblr) but i 100% believe the reason memes die out so much quicker now is because more womyn are involved in the culture.
the 'womyn arent funny' stereotype is so ingrained in mens head they dont like womyn enjoying internet jokes!
full offense but men earned their so-called loneliness epidemic.
call me a misandrist. i don't care. i used to give the libfem ''patriarchy hurts men too'' spiel and how that somehow excuses them for their social ineptitude. but i'm done. men absolutely brought this onto themselves. every conversation about it is just men soiling their pants over the unfairness over it all and not-so subtly implying that it's yet another issue for women to fix. because hell forbid men get a grip on the concept of self-critique and personal growth without women's emotional labour to guide them.
a factor in men's loneliness is their refusal to actually form meaningful connections with anyone, including each other. wail ''nobody cares about men'' until you're blue in the face, but truthfully, men don't even care about men.
a man will dismiss women's friendships with each other as petty, fake and silly but in the same breath he'll admit that he doesn't even know his bros. not their favourite colours, political views or worst fears. not even their surnames or birthdays. men even seem to take pride in this, like it's some quirky and hilarious male trait that women couldn't possibly understand.
if there's no meaningful discussion, no confiding and comforting and if you don't even know each other, you don't have a friendship, you have an acquaintance. and a circle of acquaintances around you is never going to fill your emotional cup.
so men, if you're lonely, make friends with each other. compliment each other. or don't, remain lonely for all i care. just leave women out of the mess you created and refuse to clean up.
shout out to confident conventionally unattractive womyn. literally never let a mans lack of attraction to you define your worth. ugly men are allowed to be confident and not shamed for it, and so are we!
do you want any book recs? feminist or otherwise?
i was too scared to ask lol, yes id love that! :-)
Gen Z thinking they're so progressive while their gender politics is literally "whoever wears the dress and does the dishes is the woman/femme" kills me
Ayy fellow radfem Sopranos-enjoyer! :D Randomly stumbled across your blog and just wanted to say DAMN I wish I'd been as awesome and aware of the world as you are when I was 13! I was deeeeep in the libfem brainwashing till my late 20s. It's incredibly encouraging to see girls in your generation saying 'fuck that shit!' The world NEEDS young womyn like you! 🤍
thank youu :) 💗 definitely went through a bit of a libfem phase too LOL
+ womyn actually have higher suicide rates then men, men just go for more violent methods more frequently than womyn
“if women are oppressed then why are male suicide rates higher” everyone knows men are much less resilient than women..
yeah girls haha imagine being.. 14..
I just needed others to suffer with me. (She also made the ‘if i were a fish’ thing, if you recognize her)
there is not a single way for teenage girls to express themselves without being mocked and it’s absolutely infuriating
Men control the courts as well.. Less than 1% of rape actually ends in a conviction. Pedophiles (those who physically harm a child and watch CSAM) are punished so lightly, it’s hardly considered a crime at all. And the amount of vitriol a woman faces when coming out with a claim of being raped, is a conscious act by men to keep women scared of talking.
Pornography is another help to men. Female pain has been eroticized, of course women naturally like to be brutalized- and the rough sex defence is created for them. The idea that women exist in a state of masochism is porn created, and serves to destroy the credibility of women who have been victimized.
The abuse faced in the court systems, by judges and lawyers to rape victims is a systematic attempt to demoralize women. The widespread notion of ‘false accusations’ men have created that each woman makes, is their universally created defence.
The idea of one woman lying, destroys all women’s credibility, but 100’s of men raping doesn’t destroy a man’s. Even their ideology is inconsistent, when women speak of rape and sexual violence faced by men, ‘it’s not all men’ but when they slander women as liars, false accusers, promiscuous, whores, they don’t once care about not generalizing.
This is how patriarchy is systematic, and all men are it’s foot soldiers. The regular men, who spread tales of women as manipulative liars plotting to ruin a man’s life, to the pornographer and male porn actor who sell the lie that the porn actress is enjoying her suffering, to the male court system that exists to protect men’s interests.
