the moment a man uses the word bitch to insult a womyn i loose ALL respect for him.
if society actually took womyns oppression seriously, bitch would be considered a slur. its been used to degrade womyn for literally hundreds of years now. it existed for over 4 centuries as a way to degrade and silence womyn but 20 years ago its reclaimed and suddenly everyone can use it?
western men forget that womyn were ever oppressed, even though it wasnt long ago that womyn everywhere were slaves to men.
no no you see bitch can't be a misogynistic slur because i call men bitches too (i am insulting him by comparing him to a woman) π
there are countries that ban girls from getting an education so i really don't give a fuck if some boys have a hard time at school because they don't want to behave and do their work
have they tested the milk??? can they prove this wont harm the baby before desperately trying to prove their false womynhood?
These men don't care about children at all. They just want to prove that they are "biological women". π΅βπ«π΅βπ«π΅βπ«
I have an idea!
instead of saying 'op is terf' under every fucking post which was made by women and provides valid information you should say 'op is a rapist and an abuser' under every men post. say 'op thinks porn is cool' and 'he cheated on his wife' GET FUCKING REAL. oh but I see, you are only against oppression if it's men who suffer
this is what a lot of men want itβs so terrifying
"Radfems aren't safe people and they hurt women!"
If I brought up the little details of my sexual abuse to radical feminists, I wouldn't be blamed.
I wouldn't be told "well 17 is still legal" or "6 years isn't that bad of an age gap".
I wouldn't be told that it's not possession of child pornography because I "willingly" sent him photos of myself.
I wouldn't be told I led him on.
I wouldn't be told I stalked and abused him when I was behaving like a confused, traumatised child who didn't know what else to do.
I would be told it wasn't my fault. I would be supported. My pain would be validated. My experience wouldn't be diminished by "other people have it worse".
And I would be confident that this support wasn't a facade.
I will never get that from any other "feminist" community and believe me - I have tried.
Radfem spaces are the safest places for women who are victims of abuse and sex based violence.
I can NOT fucking believe i am watching this shit happen in real time.
Overnight I've watched the wiki page for 4B go from a single line of text describing it as a feminist movement and four more lines beneath it explaining the rules, to now it being a several paragraph screed about how it is a terf riddled, transphobic, transwomen hating movement made intentionally and with the sole purpose to stop women from having sex with transwomen.
The article editing history shows this all being done overnight. It also shows it mostly being done by a single user who INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH has been flagged multiple times for getting into editing wars on the CIRCUMCISION and FORESKIN wiki pages!!!! You cannot make this shit up!!
American women only briefly floated the idea that they shouldn't have sex with anyone that can get them pregnant in a time where pregnancy could be a death sentence and like fucking LIGHTNING these folks come out the gate to shut it down in every way possible.
TIL i shouldnt confront people about being groomers and pedophiles because i might sound like a TERF! God forbid :(
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if there was no patriarchy, no gender roles, no men.
I imagine I'd be more secure in myself. I would be less afraid to allow my body to exist as it naturally is. I could jump into a lake shirtless and never feel the real or imagined lingering eyes on my back. There would be no "man-peering-through-the-keyhole" psychological phenomenon women experience - the urge to always be palatable to the male gaze. I could feel completely comfortable cutting all my hair off in the summer so I could comfortably tend to my garden without sweat dripping from my hair. There would be no "does this hairstyle fit my face" bullshit that men interestingly never subject themselves to. I would walk home alone at night in the city and I wouldn't feel the urge to check behind me every minute. I could stretch my arms high in the air without the urge to immediately put them back down lest others see that I am human enough to grow body hair - to be human as a woman in this world is to be a beast - I could lay on the warm sands of a beach without the urge to cover my legs with a towel for the same reason. I wouldn't ever feel anxiety when making connections with other women because I would know with confidence they won't sell me out for a corn chip of validation from the patriarchy, because there wouldn't be one. Other women wouldn't look down on me for existing against the grain. And there wouldn't be the other kind of human to beat, rape or kill me for the same. Other women wouldn't be pushing their daughters, themselves, or me to conform to the identity of "decorative object to be oggled" because there would never have been anyone to start the demand.
I could rip my clothes off and grow my claws, my fangs. I could become the beast I'm meant to be. I could run to a hilltop with my sisters under a full moon and dance around a fire while we howl "This is freedom! This is freedom! This is freedom!" We could laugh heartily, loudly. We could feast decadently on all the delicious things we deny ourselves. We could take up all of the space we desire. We could love - truly love - one another and the Earth. Life would flourish.
I am deeply saddened that will never be the world.
im not pro-cop but i think the fact that even cop supporters stereotype female cops as aggressive is stupid. of course the few womyn in such a traditionally and stereotypically male dominated workfield would have to be aggressive, no one takes them seriously! they're oversexualized, belittled, and assaulted just for being womyn. anyone would be aggressive, theyre just trying to prove themselves.
