a book rec for when you are a good number of years older is Gail Dines’ seminal book ‘Pornland’ taking apart the industry. bell hooks Feminist Theory is a classic
you’ve probably already found out about Andrea Dworkin by osmosis by now. I would also heed caution given your age and the topics she covers. You should always put your comfort above exposing yourself to information that may be harmful.
not necessarily feminist lit but the dance of anger by Harriet Lerner is a useful book on women’s anger and how to approach relationships (of all sorts). I found it useful both in a feminist context and in my personal life though.
sending hugs! 💞
thank you! <33
just out of curiosity, how did you get into radical feminism?
tiktok 😗 very small amount of radfems there though
Just notice, how every female-exclusive space soon turn the rules to "non-binaries, transgenders, dogs, parrots, everyone is welcome" while male spaces, stay for males only. We women should STOP sacrificing our space, we should stop being afraid of speaking up, we should stop reducing our body, we should stop being our last priority, all for the sake of not hurting men's feelings. This is not inclusion, it's misogyny with a mask, hidden behind the name of representation.
The social coercion women face to date people they’re not attracted to is fucking insane. I remember distinctly thinking “well, I can just force myself to be attracted to him…”
Films, books, etc, all show the trope of beautiful woman and unattractive man. There is still the myth that an unattractive man will treat you better than an attractive one (more women are waking up to this, but still). Even now the left thinks that activism happens between the legs of women.
Don’t date people you’re not attracted to. Don’t feel guilty for not giving them the time of day. No means no.
Oh wonderful! radblr officially has the support of the American mafia now!
love to see it
"the most extreme example" is a reality for alot of womyn and girls.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
70% of them dont even know what a radical feminist is. they just see 'trans exclusionary" and piss themselves in fear of not being in the middle of every movement to exist
I wish upon all terfs/conservatives a plague of prion disease
to eliminate casual sexism, which is very present everywhere in the world. and why would i only be talking about western womyn?
if you look at history on a timeline, womyn only got our rights VERY recently. theres obviously still work to be done, just like with any other oppressed group
I would like to put out here that feminists (me) don’t hate men
We can certainly hate particular men. Just like we could hate particular women. It’s okay to be mad at bad people, whoever they are
The way I see it, feminism is about equal rights, being allowed the same opportunities regardless of gender, and generally just being normal
Maybe we should call it gender-equal-ist
Anyways, I don’t usually post anything too serious on here, it’s just it’s come to my attention that some people think all feminists are like ‘rahhhh we hate all menn’ and don’t realize that these people are a very small minority and/or are probably joking
I can advocate for gender equality without being radical
male castration anxiety is so funny like imagine if nobody ever tried to control your ability to reproduce so you just had to make shit up to be upset about
Love seeing women with bare faces, short fingernails, practical shoes, comfortable clothing, a full plate, a toothy grin, a relaxed posture. Love love love seeing women comfortable and happy and unselfconscious.
