The excuse “they didn’t teach us this at school” tells me the person has been spoon fed information at school their entire life and have become so accustomed to it, they now feel entitled to it. Everything they should know must served to them otherwise how could they know? Which is absurd since they’re the same people who know so many useless information about celebrities and who broke up and who married who. Their main problem is entitlement. Also, education main purpose is to teach people how to reason and obtain and analyze information. If you can’t do that then education was wasted on you.
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.
Unpopular opinion, s*x is gross and people should stop engaging in such patriarchal behavior
people on here will make having "nasty kinky queer faggot degenerate hot gay sex" their whole personality and the "sex" in question is just. penis in vagina.
So tired of seeing feminists claim maIe identified women just need to "learn". You put any woman in a position where they have to face maIeness in its rawest form without other women to take the heat away from them and they'll spit out takes (or actions even) like what's in radical feminist texts. Not in a "omg I've just found this out" way but more like something they've held in them all along. As women harm other women they're fully aware of their actions as they do it. These women aren't unaware they just dont care (until it hits home for them).
I don't know why people get so defensive and morally superior when you point out the nature of human relationships is transactional. I'm not denying or diminishing your "love", I'm just pointing something out.
straight people really hit the jackpot when they tricked y'all into believing they’re the most oppressed group ever when they came up with trans gay men and trans lesbians
You should be able to say “don’t touch me” to anyone ever in any context and not have it be considered in the realm of surprising or insulting imho if we ever needed to normalize something it’s this
Basing "feminism" and "praxis" on being a "girl's girl" or emphasizing "sorority" instead of critical analysis of female opression, which includes the criticism of certain women (madames in brothels, abusive mothers, female bullies, female sexual predators), was counterproductive.
It's a staple of this "feminism" to think of women's opression in feelings terms. It's bad because it makes you sad, or dysphoric, or desperate, or angry and therefore the solution is feelings based: you need to feel better, happier aka empowered. Which makes the fight for representation and diversity in media a crucial issue, for example.
Even issues in which legal protections should be emphazised, the usian utilitarianism twists them into feeling based "i dont feel safe around men in bathrooms".
The usamerican utilitarian basis (which priorizes happiness maximization) corrupts every ideology or political movement that steps a foot in the USA.
"Choice feminism" aka "liberal feminism" which is simply american misogyny spreads like fire thanks to its compatibility with fast and catchy slogans. Usian propaganda aka advertising and utilitarianism are totally compatible therefore usian misogyny is easily shared in social media, platforms made for marketing purposes.
A lack of sexual discipline is present in both women and men. Women mistakenly believe that their sexuality is more virtuous because men are more openly degenerate. Both sexes are after social validation and physical release in their pursuit of bodies. “Making love” isn’t any less selfish and degrading. This world is a perverts playground, both men and women have made it that way. Watch the gender divide disappear when a woman speaks of sexually abstaining indefinitely. Men and women, regardless of orientation will unite to shame her.
nah nevermind i take everything back.
procreation is the ultimate evil, worse than rape and murder combined (that's not even touching all women's other evils), and so women are indeed the ultimate evil. there is no greater violation of bodily integrity or consent. women view the consent of their child to be born the same way men view women's right to, well, anything: opt-out by varying degreed of violence up to suicide. "that's what god/nature intended, for a man to have a woman, and for a woman to have a child." no crime committed against them is unjust. i will never speak ill of a man again. after all, their maleness was forced upon them against their will by their mother's act of procreation. men do not choose to be born male any more than i or any other woman chose to be born female, or born at all.
feminism is a joke. if you, you poor son of a bitch, had the great misfortune to have you mother not kill herself before giving birth to you, and other women have only ever seen you as another women in a rhetorical bid to coerce you but have otherwise known as stark as blood of white cotton that you are not them are what you are is repulsive and exists only to be mocked in-between being shunned, this is the guide you need to go by: hwstm. yes, like wwjd but not psychotic. "how would she treat me?" whenever you hear anything about a woman, ask yourself that question. a woman was burned alive on a train? how would she have treated me if we met before then? and, better yet, how do the masses of women around me respond to her murder: "people are so awful!" "not people! men!" "he was an illegal with a criminal history" "racist!!! all men are equally dangerous!!! 😠" so the answer is most women would treat me like shit, and if a man killed me, they'd raise a cunting farm about it in public to raise their goodie social points while laughing about me in private and break their necks to enable the same shit that got me killed.
yeah. nah. women are all whores and every shred of compassion on wsdted on them will eat me still when i'm rotting in my grave.
it's just wild..all this down dirty advice for navigating relationships with men and for "normal" women, it all tracks...but for women like me, we just have to stop and remark how much of it applies to you, and you will never know.
lack of accountability is our biggest issue these days. we don't move past the guilt, we don't ground ourselves in our free will, we don't let ourselves be moved. we just feel guilty, suppress it, numb it, talk ourselves out of it. and continue in the same old ways we deep down know are wrong. but you are not a victim of your guilt, your guilt is merely a sign.
Women are just as responsible for their roles in upholding the patriarchy as men are. They should not be given a pass by talking about how they were just "brainwashed" or conditioned into their beliefs.
Men and women have both been handed a belief system about EVERYTHING, including our roles in society and the ways we ought to treat each other, and once you're an adult you're 100% responsible for unpacking and unlearning all harmful programming and making good decisions. If you're not responsible, you're not a grown-up. To hold men accountable for this and to give women a pass is to say that men are sovereign, intelligent beings with free will, capable of reason and making a choice between good and evil, and women are not. It reduces women to status of robots with no free will, who are slaves to their programming, or to the status of mental children. It puts women on a level BENEATH men. We hold adults responsible for their actions. It's children who we point to and say, "They don't know any better, they're just doing what they've been told. Give them a break."
You know all these harmful patriarchal attitudes we waffle on about all day, like the idea that women should wear makeup and shave or that females are inferior to males? When you see a post with a thousand comments by women telling a girl she's ugly and needs to begin "looksmaxxing," you're seeing that self-hatred abusively being instilled into another young woman in real time...by women. It's happening right in front of you. It OFTEN comes from other women; THIS is how it's perpetuated!
Or when you hear about boy moms who abuse their daughters while favoring their sons, setting that girl up with a sense of low-self worth that she'll be looking to balance her whole life (probably with manipulative men or self-harming behaviors), you're seeing the message that "𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶'𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘦" inflicted on one of your sisters - BY A WOMAN! Quite aggressively too, I might add!
If you saw a person abusing a child or beating a dog with a stick, you wouldn't tell yourself, "Well, they've probably just been taught to do that" or "Well, this OTHER group hurts kids and beats dogs far more often so, I guess I'll let this one slide," would you?
Hold abusers and agents of the patriarchy accountable wherever and whenever you see them. Shut it down. If you're against all this shit, act on it when you see it. No matter what individual you're standing against in any given moment, when you push back against these messages you're standing FOR women and against the patriarchy.
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.
What if…what if you rejected female socialization with the same fervor you reject levelheaded women spoonfeeding you Self Preservation for Dummies, Getting Out of the Doormat Mindset 101, and Introduction to Growing a Self Esteem?
The world is filled with different interests promoting their agendas and narratives, and what someone is receptive to says a lot about that person. Women who were hardly susceptible to the so-called “patriarchal brainwashing” exist and they aren’t this way only because they had the pRiviLEge of somehow discovering free pdfs of feminist texts on the World Wide Web. Attributing everything to socialization erases these women’s experiences and diminishes the individual’s agency!
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.
“Society systematically conditioned us to…”
“School never systematically taught us to…”
No, you just lack common sense¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Some people have love for humanity, but no compassion for it, no real empathy for human beings that goes beyond the surface level and superficial. Being a misanthropist with compassion is better than being a philanthropist who thinks that there is ultimately nothing fundamentally wrong with the world, who thinks it's okay if all the horrors that humans are subjected to continue to persist, because they think "everything balances out in the end" or because "everything happens for a reason" or some shit. Like I'm sorry, but we definitely tolerate toxic positivity and allow it to masquerade as healthy optimism out of a fear of ever validating anything that seems "too edgy" way, way too much. At some point a desire to only think normal thoughts that aren't cringe turns into intellectual cowardice and moral laziness, and you've definitely reached that point if your attitude towards the abundance of heinous suffering in this world is just, "oh gee well that sure is unfortunate, but you know, ultimately life is beautiful and everything is okay, and none of that stuff really matters in the grand scheme of things, life is still inherently good, etc. etc."
If there is no form of suffering so heinous to you that you would rather vaporize the planet than allow it to continue for one more day, then I'm sorry but you are someone with a hollow and performative affection for your species. Valuing the mere absence or presence of human minds over the actual experiential quality of the lived realities of real humans will always be oonga boonga brain shit to me, I'm sorry. Like your primal drive to support the species' survival is dampening your higher moral functioning. I would rather live in a world where there's just three clones named Sally who are immortal and always happy, than live in a world where millions of people are enduring unspeakable horrors every single day, sorry. "The beauty of life" and "the wonderful tenacity of the human spirit" mean nothing to me when there are people living their entire lives in slavery and little girls are getting gangraped to death. The fact that people regularly take their own lives because their pain is so unbearable that they'd prefer to just cease existing should tell us all we need to know about the value of quantity vs. quality on this issue. Life itself is not inherently good any more than anything else is, and more life does not automatically equal more value and goodness. If you see nothing wrong with throwing new people into this world despite knowing what it could have in store for them, what potential fates they, or their children, could endure, then you only love humanity in the way you love coffee or a good book. You love the idea of humanity. The ideal of humanity. What humanity represents to you. You love humanity as a concept, not as a collection of individual human beings with thoughts and feelings.
men truly do believe that their suffering is the only suffering that matters. they view women's suffering as either completely obsolete, a joke, or jerk-off material. i'm sick of it. all these people who whine about "men's mental health" can rot.
Is it not patronizing to claim that women are unintelligent to the point of always falling for social conditioning and propaganda and that women's decisions are always informed by such as a result? Because that is the notion that radical feminism is promoting and has been ever since I became acquainted with it.
Women are adults capable of making informed decisions and this fact remains true even if you believe that said decisions put women in a worse light. Besides, not only is this denial of women's agency patronizing, it is also offensive to the women from developing countries who continuously make decisions that do not involve exploitation or abuse under much worse pressure only to be lectured by western "feminists" on how impossible it is to achieve.
i’m actually so sick of seeing posts that completely uncritically glorify women’s addictions to utterly depraved written pornography
I'm getting kind of sick of people saying things like "you have to be careful, predators are masters of disguise" because in my experience the reality is that most people will bend over backwards to make excuses for and defend very obviously creepy behavior from men. Middle aged men will make crude, sexual comments about underage girls all the time and usually the adults around them will laugh and brush it off, and if you say anything against it they'll accuse you of being dramatic. People will overlook obvious red flags that a man is a predator and then when the guy is finally arrested for child porn/rape they want to pretend like there was no way they could have known. It seriously pisses me off.
