On December 6th 1989, fourteen young women, many of them engineering students, were murdered in the mass shooting at Montreal’s École Polytechnique that was prompted by the killer’s hatred of women and what he said was “fighting feminism”.   On December 6, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we remember: Geneviève Bergeron Hélène Colgan Nathalie Croteau Barbara Daigneault Anne-Marie Edward Maud Haviernick Maryse Laganière Maryse Leclair Anne-Marie Lemay Sonia Pelletier Michèle Richard Annie St-Arneault Annie Turcotte Barbara Klucznik-Widajewicz

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

‘TERFs are not real feminists, all they do is bring down trans people, instead of actually addressing the female problems, in Afghanistan, etc.’

We do speak about these matters, you just don’t know because you are not a part of the radical feminist community. The thing is, you are not interested in it. The only thing that sparks your interest is the ‘dolls’.

Hence why you are showed with radical feminist’s posts with gender critique.

If you knew anything about radical feminism, you would hear conversations about skin- selling business in Nepal that targets the sex workers, you would know of the conversations about how surrogates were treated in India by the agencies, you would hear us talking about the patterns of misogyny in the global media.

But you are not interested. You have no desire to actually look into radical feminism, and understand what it is about. You have your agenda that you have to feed with hatred for ‘terf bitches’

[He stabbed me 13 times]

Michell showing the scars of her stabbing, among other women victims of male violence, protested this March 8th in Mexico City. The mexican state has consistently failed women and girls, often mocking or ignoring them until it's too late.

Just like millions of abusive men, her aggressor (a former romantic partner) walks freely because her injuries werent considered bad enough to send him to jail. It's no secret that the police and judicial system are abyssmally unjust towards women.

According to official data, 11 women are killed daily in Mexico but according to CIMACnoticias, this number might be skewed by the government itself.

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!!!
