Exactly this!
The whole aesthetic thing really is a really dystopian commodification of personalities...
i think the biggest capitalist scam is that you can supposedly buy the real you.
"see these clothes? it shows who i really am! this makeup, too! i need plastic surgery so that my face can look like my aesthetic!"
you don't need to buy your true self, it's in your personality not your appearance
im so confused what does that person mean by slur... is "TRA" a slur...????!!!
Yes... He thinks "Trans Rights Activist" is a slur.
His white ass had no problem calling my friend "kanye" for being a black radfem though. Amazing how that works.
Orange. Since we are recent mutuals, we should meet up at the picnic ^^
AWW YESS 🧡
Same honestly. The way he wrote about the women in the book was also extremely creepy. Like... really you want us to root for the main character who fantasizes about raping and murdering a girl for... being part of some celibacy club? This is a deep work of art?
Also, quite frankly for a dystopian book it was just too over the top and didn't really have a unique message. like "bad stuff is bad" type of message. F451 was a bit better, the themes about mindless entertainment as a distraction was good but in other ways, it was also similar. Maybe I just don't get dystopian books but Brave New World was actually good in my opinion.
please, tell me i’m not the only one who hates 1984 by george orwell with all the heart. everyone always describes it as this incredible book that will change your perception of the world, but honestly ... it didn’t. for me.
random but you ever think about the fact that fields of work get devalued once women are a significant percentage
The cursed lovechild of capitalism and patriarchy
The market value is as low as they can get away with and patriarchy dictates that women shouldn't need to earn as much as a man
Honestly I think automation will make socialism inevitable like how the industrial revolution led to the rise of capitalism and liberalism
No but actually this
Their idea is that "men do things, and women make the men that do things", it's genuinely so dumb
something that gets me about guys who go on about how a woman's purpose is kids is that they really believe their mothers' most significant contribution to the world was them
This is just another why I don’t support prostitution as an industry. When bodies are for sale, everything is on the table. One of the women interviewed said at first she thought a man cutting a large piece of her skin off was just a fetish.
Yeah of course pessimism is understandable and I am aware of this, but making pessimism into an ideology and basically giving up is kind of useless. Yes it is getting worse in some aspects for now, but overall it's been getting better in many places due to feminist activism.
I'm talking about people who have essentially made "the patriarchy is eternal and natural" their political beliefs and call themselves feminist because they're upset about it.
It's also kind of amazing how this is the post that pissed feminists off lmao. What should I say, "the patriarchy is the natural state of the world and women will never succeed"? like come on
lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?
genuinely insane how any words for bad things get censored even if you're denouncing it or bringing awareness. God forbid a company can't sponsor a video or liberals get offended by seeing a bad word.
Do people not realize how this makes the problems worse? How can you fight nazis without even being able to say the word "nazi"?
Talking like "people are being unalived on a mass scale like in bad germany". literally 1984 what the fuck is wrong with people.
oh lmao I thought, well, hoped it was satire.
I don't know if you've ever actually talked to an MRA or not honestly.
So MRAs are usually the type to say shit like "im pro-equality and that's why im not feminist", aka these poor men you're defending or maybe even you too. They also think the whole world is a matriarchy. Yeah, turns out they don't even think women in Afghanistan are oppressed, and yes I did ask. They don't think women are or were ever oppressed in general either. They are also mostly anti-abortion and even anti-no fault divorce to basically spite women.
On the other hand, feminists, yes even the KAM radfems, don't take mens rights away. Men are just mad if we also have rights, and have ALWAYS been using the same arguments against feminists. The "feminists hate men" thing was definitely popular during 1st wave feminism.
Also, essentially all of the actual polices that they say are sexism against men, are because of traditionalists, yet... it's women, specifically feminists, that are just... driving them to insanity for saying KAM at misogynists on twitter??
But good luck with the coddling these dudes though! I'm sure these men will listen to you!
Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline
I'm an 18 yo womanI'm a socialist and radical feminist and I will post about these topics a lotNo DNI but I will roast you if you deserve itkanrade #2 â˜âœ¯â˜
