This is precisely what white feminism is about - wasting sanitary pads that could have been donated to shelters when there are so many homeless women who can’t afford to buy them + excluding transgender women from their feminism by writing “No pussy no power” on a pad. This is wrong and disgusting. If your feminism doesn’t include trans women, then your feminism is rubbish.
the stars are telling you this, trust me.
It baffles me how radical feminists are considered conservative when the idea of female separatism is 10x more radical and far left than most of the beliefs held by left-wing parties. I will not listen to anyone who calls radical feminism a conservative ideology because it means they haven't done any research or reading.
We don't hate porn because we think women should be pure virgins who only commit to one man, we hate porn because it degrades women and is the product of sex trafficking, coercion, and propaganda.
We don't hate tight clothing and makeup because we think women should be covered from head to toe, we hate it because it restricts movement and makes day to day life uncomfortable for women.
We don't criticize the trans community because we think everyone should conform to gender roles and there should be no attempt to break the gender binary, we criticize the fact that transition is based on stereotypes, norms, roles, clothing, and other things women have fought for years to be free from.
Radical feminism does a better job at attacking actual oppressive structures and frameworks than most other leftist ideologies and I am done with ignorant people online comparing radical feminism to trad wife life or traditional conservatism. Especially when this criticism comes from losers who spend all day watching porn that promotes racism and classism.

i low key love it when women straight up go “i wear makeup because i feel ugly without it and people treat me better when im more feminine” or “i shave before going to the beach with my family because i’m not ready to defend myself against them”.
admitting that your actions are influenced by patriarchy is so much better than pretending it’s your own unique feminist girlboss impowering choice. i’m tired of “if a woman chooses to do it then it’s feminist” bullshit.
I don't want to be pretty, I want to hurt myself, I want to be pure, I want to feel safe, I want to disappear

I used to love drawing women years ago (especially as fairies) because the female form is beautiful. As I got older and saw how women are so sexualized in EVERY image, I began to feel uncomfortable drawing them with visible breasts because I felt subconsciously that even acknowledging that part of female anatomy was sexualizing them, so the breasts got smaller and smaller until they were pretty much flat chested and the women were androgynous. I am pretty sure this was a microcosm of what happens to women who feel dysphoria over their own breasts because of discomfort being sexualized, and just want them to go away. I understand it entirely. A sick culture that warps and makes a perversion out of natural things will make you eventually feel an aversion to those things.
Two people are standing in front of you. One is male, and says “I want to share a space with her”. The other is female, and says “I don’t want to share a space with him”.
Think: Which person do you listen to? Which person’s desires do you care more about? Which person’s preferences do you think are more important? Which person’s boundaries do you think are less important? Which person do you think is more important, and which person do you think is less important? Why?
a great perspective to have
