You Can Separate The Art From The Artist, But You Cannot Separate The Artist From That Art's Profit.

There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.

For anyone who needs to hear it, being racist does not require racist intentions. "They can't be racist because they just didn't know any better!" just... isn't how it works.

The whole race change/ethnicity change thing going on in subliminal/reality shifting/manifestation communities is racist, because it's about fetishizing and appropriating from another (often marginalized) group.

Obviously, don't dogpile children involved in this with hate, because kids generally lack the context to understand how and why these things are a problem. That said - kids do need to be educated about racism in a calm and compassionate manner, because they are still absolutely capable of perpetuating it whether they mean to or not.

That’s absolutely true that men know what they’re doing, I think most rapists know exactly what they’re doing, but not all of them. Some rapists actually do think it’s okay; marital rape, corrective rape, or they have deluded themselves into believing that their victim wants it.

This isn’t justifying anything, and I know it’s very clear in my post that I am saying that these situations are still rape.

The biggest danger in rape culture is that there are so many rapists who don’t think that they’re rapists. “It wasn’t rape, she was making out with me earlier, it doesn’t matter that she’s drunk now.” “It wasn’t rape, I asked if I could kiss her and she said sure, what did she think would happen next?” “It’s not rape, she’s my wife.” “It’s not rape, he’s gay, he should thank me.” “It’s not rape, I told her she could either have sex with me or I would kill myself.” Rape awareness and consent education are crucial, because many many men casually commit sexual assault and don’t realize or won’t admit it because the culture has told them it’s okay, it’s normal, it’s just what guys do. There are rapists that are in denial about what they’ve done because they think they’re good people who would never hurt someone like that, they aren’t a rapist. ‘Not physically fighting back’ isn’t consent. ‘Not screaming and crying’ isn’t consent. ‘Not calling the police afterwards’ isn’t consent.

we did NOT have a period of discourse about how 'if trans women don't pass as women, but they do pass as men, they don't pass as men - they pass as 'queer' or 'other'' for yous to fucking go 'if trans men don't pass as men, which they're privileged for if they do, then they pass 100% as cis women, which they're privileged for when they do'

like SHUT UPPPPPPP I DID NOT PASS AS A CIS WOMAN EVERYONE THOUGHT I WAS A DYKE/TRANNY/QUEER. I NEVER PASSED AS 'WOMAN' I PASSED AS 'FREAK OF NATURE'. I WAS BARELY TREATED LIKE A HUMAN BEING LET ALONE A WOMAN

i hate you "haha men are so boring"

i hate you "ugh, why would you become a man"

i hate you "kill all men, including trans men"

i hate you "men will never understand the real feminine rage"

i hate you "trans men are becoming the enemy"

i hate you "men don't love like women do"

i hate you every gender essentialist radfem bullshit sentiment thats disproportionately used against transmascs to dehumanize us, frame us as less worthy, less trans, less worth listening to and believing.

this speaking as a cis person. Nothing brings me more joy seeing people find gender euphoria in becoming a mediocre representation of humanity. And I mean that so genuinely. Local boy finds joy and fulfillment wearing a cargo shorts and t-shirt combo. Local girl has transitioned to look like someone's disheveled aunt, has never been happier. Local person experiences gender euphoria rocking the world's worst bowl-cut. Without a scap of irony, this shit makes me see the wonder and whimsy in just, being a human. An average, person going through their day-to-day, is a wondrous thing? That's amazing. And heteronormativity has stripped these experiences of their joy. Like you're right, wearing a basic girlypop skirt should make my heart sing. Why not? Why are these expressions lesser because they're normal? All this to say. Shoutout to all the basic bitches out there. Yes that polo shirt does make you look like a divorced golfer dad. Yes, that too is kind of a slay, now that I think of it.

it’s kind of crazy how here on the so-called feminism website you literally can’t say something as simple as “dude is an inherently gendered term” without literally dozens upon dozens of people who consider themselves feminists showing up to say “idk i use it in a gender neutral way”. like idk how to tell you this but the fact that masculine words are considered default/neutral and feminine words are not is, in fact a reflection, of a patriarchal society.

Reductress really taking no prisoners today

Such a great, revealing peek into the transmisogynist’s mindset
