These feel-good feminist and their drivel are just as harmful as any other religious figurehead.
Preaching about mother yoniverse and her fertile womb raining down abundance on women is the same as the pastor telling his followers how god will reward them for doing nothing.
Same mind fuck, different language and audience.
If it's not actually changing the conditions of your life you need to throw the shit away. It's useless. You'll end up impoverished with a big ego, what good is that?
"Female empowerment" is useless if it isn't actually giving you the tools to gain economic success and power. You're lying if you think that shit isn't important.
the average man acts like a spoiled petulant disrespectful toddler because his parents and society let him do whatever he wants and men stop mentally maturing once they turn 3. you can't tell men "no" without them having a tantrum. you can't do your own thing without them butting in and disturbing your peace. you can't have fun without them because it hurts their feefees when you don't acknowledge them for one second. none of this would be an issue if the world wasn't so androcentric and if everybody realized men are too emotional to lead. they shouldn't even be allowed in public spaces due to how destructive they can be
the world wasn't built for you, that's why you see through it
I just can't get behind this mindset that adult women, some of whom are ultra-rich and educated, are victims of their own choices - such as walking around naked in public, or choosing to do some other degrading thing they weren't forced into (and were paid very well to do, hence why they did it.) Women are not pieces of hay floating helplessly hither and thither by whatever new "breeze" of influence comes upon them. Sometimes a woman making a bad choice is just a woman making a bad choice without any coersion, and she knows exactly what she's doing and why.
I don't care if you want to refrain from judging them for their decisions, but you should seriously question why you think they're not capable of consciously choosing them, or why you think those decisions can't be criticized for the standard they're upholding for other women. Because if you think women have no real agency, then feminism is pointless and you may as well let the men (the people you DO think can make decisions and who you hold responsible for them) do your thinking for you.
Women will practice and uphold patriarchal beauty standards they personally conform to. It’s all fun and games when you’re the preferred fetish. Body types, hair colors and textures, lip size, skin tones, etc are all ways in which women are ranked. Egos are bruised when different models go in and out of style. Not because those women want to forgo such ideals altogether, but because they’re unable to embody the latest trend. Let thee without a makeup brush make the first accusation of brainwashing.
A “feminist” former model turned influencer, has dedicated her retirement to preaching about the beauty industry. Writing paragraphs about how her efforts to get dolled up resulted in no dating offers, because men were interested in younger women. This then propelled her into calling out unrealistic beauty standards. The same standards she enjoyed gleefully in youth. Citing she misses “turning heads” and ignoring the hypocrisy of her first marriage to a much older man. Her ultimate goal being a societal shift into including older women into the category of “sexy.”
Women with faces full of filler and glue adhesive on their eyelids will claim it’s ridiculous to rate women based on body shapes. Women who buy undergarments with the purpose of pushing their breast together have something to say about butts being the new thing. Women who sell out Sephoras in college complain about the pressure of maintaining youth with each passing birthday. The body positivity movement is filled with cognitive dissonance. “This standard is bad! Wait, what do you mean my hair dye and eyeliner are included in that? It’s not that deep and I do it for myself anyway.”
When women are “winning” the patriarchal game of penises and empty promises, they will do anything to maintain their status. Social capital is kept through presenting yourself as sexually available to heterosexual males. That is the foundation on which all beauty standards are built upon, regardless of what women tell themselves. Competitiveness is the sole purpose behind women’s picking and choosing of which aesthetic preference’s should be maintained. Remember, women are hierarchical too, and heterosexual world dominance is perpetuated through pecking order.
I’ll take claims of unfair beauty standards seriously when I see women rejecting ALL of them in mass. Until then, the same women shaving off their body hair can keep begging the pedo’s they’re appealing to for less judgment on their ass size/shape. Every woman wants to be the exception, the one who accepts patriarchy’s “prizes,” but escapes its eventual expiration date. There’s no having it both ways. Men cannot be both your oppressors and saviors. Perform and play dress up for the penis, then graciously bow and exit the stage when it demands the next act.
the kind of people who make it an entire part of their personality that they're "kind" are always the people who do the most heinous abusive shit to you and they can never acknowledge it because to do so would go against their self conception of themselves as ontologically good people. they're always people who have like "be kind <3 just trying to make my way through the world as a little sunflower <3" as their bio or whatever and they're always the same people who will do shit like unperson someone over the most casual interpersonal conflicts. also they are almost always remarkably racist liberals.
"It's not that the women don't have the capabilities to far exceed standards; it's the fact that they don't want to. Women have NO desire to rise above their limitations. Women want to be servants, women want to be sex objects, women want to be passed around.
Men really ain't doing nothing to women that women ain't asking them to do to them. *reads screenshot out loud*
Don't you ever forget that women out here got rape fantasies, and trying to act on them. You want to be used, you want to be a servant, you want to be a slave. You do not want to be deep thinkers, or problem solvers, or leaders; you want to be submissive slaves to your ideal fairy tale man that only lives in your head."
I irk at the name of feminism when I hear it from anybody. It has totally lost its menaing and means nothing anymore.
Now they are doing the same with radical feminism. Raddies with boyfriends are main center of feminism. They wanna endlessly analyse male nature only to end up breeding with them and spawning new males. This makes sense why black pilled women don't wanna associate with radfems anymore.
Reformist women and hetfems have started to colonise radfem spaces and diluting the actual meaning. You get to see women who believe in socialisation theory and giving out "harm reduction" tips. If they really wanted safety for the woman then they would have asked her to abandon their moid.
There's too many handmaidens. I mean there is a reason why we have talks here that ask to center mothers and how bEauTifUl motherhood is.
What was the last straw on the back of the camel was the apparent lesbophobia from these same women.
From "radblr hates straight women" to "lesbians shouldn't talk about separatism". When lesbians already face double (or even triple) oppression. They think lesbians are having "sex parties" and how unfair it is for straight women to not "enjoy" intimacy. Lol. Let's assume all homophobia from world is eliminated and even then our dating pool is so small. We have to be single for years.
Honestly, I'm starting to doubt that radical feminism was even "colonized" by male lovers. Seems to me that the majority of the big radfems love males anyway. (Any truly liberated women that feel that it's their movement, and they feel betrayed by this, I get that as well.) But feminism as a whole is very difficult to truly shape into a revolutionary movement because it requires the hatred or the very least the absence of love for males, but with 99% of women truly loving them until their dying breath, we cannot move in any meaningful way.
desperately and constantly needing external validation for your supposed identities is literal proof that those identities do not belong to you. a brown haired person doesn’t need other people endlessly affirming them brown haired to be reminded that they are brown haired. they just are brown haired.
I have no idea why people forgot about Catholicism's collective cover-up of CSA within the church and how nothing was done about it. I have no idea why people think Catholicism is anything other than the institution that sat comfortably by when fascism emerged in Italy.
