Radfems: I am concerned about female genital mutilation, the systemic rape and abuse of women in Africa and the middle east, the women’s rights violations in Afghanistan, honor killings in Islam, the human trafficking taking place around the world, sex tourism, and the lack of women’s rights in many countries. Also, we need to focus on femicide as it affects women everywhere but especially in the global south.

Liberals: …

Radfems: I also hate makeup and beauty standards.

Liberals: WOW. You white western radfems don’t care at ALL about what’s happening to women in the global south. Or the abuse of women in third world countries. What about what’s going on in Afghanistan? You don’t care!!!

Exhibit 2016

In light of The Girls’ Spot gym backlash, where both men and women are comparing black women to males because black women are masculinised, getting this on my ig feed was infuriatingly ironic.

In case you didn’t know, under slavery in America black women and girls were experimented on by gynecologist J. Marion Sims. Despite the amount of pain he inflicted, he’s still considered the father of gynecology. It’s also no surprise that he is the fucker that invented the speculum.

And now comes my point.

Black women being masculinised does in no way mean they are seen or treated as males. White supremacist patriarchy always treated them as the females they are. The rapes, the forced breeding, these experiments: they all happened because

1) everybody knows what a woman is

2) slavery and the racist notion of black people feeling way less pain

allowed for an “easier” exploitation of black women and girls.

Also, white men didn’t teach sub-saharian African men misogyny. That was already there. Black women were already facing sex-based oppression, long before colonisation.

To compare the masculinisation of black women to maleness is an extreme show of misogynoir. It erases the history and the present day reality of black women and girls all around the world.

And this is the hill libfems are willing to die on, just for a bunch of delusional (and mostly white) men. I’m not surprised the sisterhood is fragile, i wouldn’t trust them either.

Anyway, i’m white so if any black woman wants to add to this post, please do so!

i long to hang out with other terfs

learning the backstories of any of your female relatives always amounts to taking 500 points of psychological damage and wondering if the world is irredeemably evil

The problem was created when trans ideology wasn't filed appropriately, which would have been under "religious/spiritual beliefs." If this had happened, trans-identified people would have had the right to live their lives the way they wished while not forcing others to play along. Example: Nobody at workplaces would be forced to announce their own pronouns or use anybody else's "preferred" pronouns. This would be similar to how Muslim women are allowed to wear a head covering to work while not allowed to complain and force other female workers to do the same. Christians in the workplace are allowed to bow their head, close their eyes, and say a prayer before they eat their lunch, but without complaining and forcing other workers to do the same.
