LITERALLY
These religions just exist to break you and build you up in the way that they want. They're just so... out there. Like, the most weird black and white thought.
And how the fuck is God gonna save you from HIMSELF??? Literal abuser rhetoric. Not to sound like an athiest neckbeard but it really does have all the traits of a cult.
I don't think people understand just how cruel the Abrahamic God IS according to believers.
According to each Holy Book, God created humans, giving them freewill and skepticism and no solid proof of him, so everyone has a different idea of him, and everyone who chooses the wrong belief gets tortured for eternity. And then this is considered… a blessing? This would be the majority of people. According to these books, he's torturing billions of souls for not sucking his dick. How insane. According to Christians and Muslims, their God would be more cruel to Jews and gay people than Hitler. Judaism is slightly better in that it doesn't even consider the Goyim as humans, so they aren't tortured and just go out of existence. I don't understand how believers in these religions can have somewhat normal morality and act normal around nonbelievers but then love a being like that. What about that feels you with love and light? Oh yeah, and what's even more insane is considering these religions peaceful and religions of love. I can't think of something more hateful than these religions. How much more hateful can you get exactly? Even Heaven is arguably bad too. In Christianity and Judaism, it's just constant worship of this genocidal grotesque God and you're a "sinless" shell of a human. That sounds like psychological torture to anyone who isn't absolutely batshit. In Islam, Heaven is basically nothing substantial for women, and for men, it's an eternity of cheating on your wife with 72 virgins who have no soul of their own. How can anyone hear these things and not have their skin absolutely crawl?
I would prefer Satan, I would say Satan is better for the sole virtue of rebelling against something so fucked up. Although I would say he's equal considered he only wanted to replace God out of his own ego. But, Satan is not the one who owns Hell, he's another soul being tortured there, God owns everything and chooses to cause suffering. How can an all forgiving Father cause his children to feel pain for eternity for something as small as disobeying him. Even the most abusive fathers in the world have not achieved that level of cruelty (although arguably the absolute worst ones would if they could, regardless, what a horrible metric). And apparently child rape is forgivable in the eyes of God and equal to the "sin" of masturbating, but simply refusing to believe? That's what gets you tortured forever? I'm not sure if a human being that reach that level of narcissism, but a supposedly self-sacrificing loving God according to Christianity can. The self-sacrifice wasn't even an actual sacrifice, he just supposedly got humans to kill an incarnation of him. What the hell is the point of that? According to the Bible, God also decided to get a 13 year old pregnant. He could have impregnated any virgin woman in the world begin God and all, but people want to believe it was a child. Jesus's teen mother is also one of the only significant female figures in Christianity and women supposedly came from a mans rib and then the rib-woman clone and the man created all humans through like 2000 generations of incest. Anything but admit that we're just a species of animal and we're more connected to rest of the Earth than they want to believe right? The misogyny of these religions creep into every page. Males couldn't accept that women in reality are the creators of life, so they had to make up this weird shit.
And sure, morality, is relative maybe. If we want to argue that. But these same people would be absolutely terrified of actually meeting a being like that. Horror books touch on it but rarely even meet that level of cruel. Maybe it's hard to conceptualize what torture for eternity means exactly or how insane it is for that to be a punishment for a belief, but I think you can fucking guess?
But it's the Buddhists, Hindus, pagans, witches, atheists, who are barbaric. Right.
Also this is a plan to make it so anyone with a name change won't be able to vote, aka most married women. But sure, misogyny is gone in the US I guess!
From the source: "The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act could prevent many married women from being able to register to vote.
The act, reintroduced by Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy, is intended to amend the National Voter Registration Act to ensure that all people registering to vote are U.S. citizens. It would require people to present in-person documentation as proof of citizenship when registering to vote.
Much of the documentation listed under the SAVE Act is based on having a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, as many as 69 million married women in the United States have changed their legal name since getting married, meaning their name does not match their birth certificate, according to the Center for American Progress."
I still can’t get over how Chappell and Lady Gaga only talked about trans rights in their Grammy speeches without a single mention of women or the fact that our rights are being erased right now. Trump ordered women’s history removed from NASA and military websites, the CDC deleted critical women’s health data, the FDA erased diversity guidelines that ensured medical treatments were tested on women fairly, and the Department of Defense scrubbed content acknowledging women’s contributions. Yet they act like women are fine as if we’re not being erased in real time. So is it acceptable for women’s struggles to be erased and rights being stripped alongside racism being promoted while trans rights take center stage.
no fr tho that's goals
Your goal should be to get weirder with age and im not kidding. Become that odd estranged extended family member that owns a whacky home wherein a powerful magical item is kept that is the catalyst for the story of a children's adventure novel protagonist
and this question is meant sincerely. what could this panther do to be more “feminine”? how many octaves does she have to raise her roar for you to hear her as a female? does it matter when she’s chasing you at full speed?
is she less violent with less melanated fur or skin? is she more violent the darker she is? does it change her existence as a female panther? does it change how she scales a tree in search of prey? does it change her love for her cubs, or the way she loved her mother when she was a cub? does it change the sharpness of her canines?
do you look at her and see her as a female? or do you see her as a panther first, with her femaleness being secondary?
why would a human female be stereotyped the instant she’s perceived? why does her skin correlate to violence or docility? why is she female before she is human? why is her existence inherently sexual, inherently meant for consumption?
it doesn’t have to be this way.
Trump administration: We're going to create jobs! Also egg prices will be lower!
(1 week later) *does the biggest federal layoffs in US history and general hiring rates are lower than during the pandemic. Eggs are also up 35% and $1 an egg because why not. You may or may not get bird flu from them as well.*
Way to completely miss the point
I was scared of the day when I realized that my little brother was just like every other male, and that day came yesterday when he showed me "memes" he made with his friends about his female classmate being fat and ugly. They're 12. I feel so bad for the little girl. She had such a cute and genuine smile on the photo they used to make fun of her. She's just a little baby, and males in her class are already being so fucking terrible.
I told him that what he was doing was mean and that he should delete it, but he just brushed me off, and we haven't talked about it ever since. I swear, if I catch him doing something like this again, then I won't hold back on him.
Sure but that doesn't mean an argument that is just "this thing is old and thus good" isn't a conservative mindset. I still stand by my point of the idea of "this is what always happened" being a conservative mentality.
So, does the choice of being raped vs starvation really seem consensual and not dubious at all to you? What about, say a boss that withholds raises for sex? Also, sex work is unnecessary labor and exploitive/painful for the vast majority of workers, so what is the reason to keep it? I am against constant consumerist buying and sweatshops and child labor as well to be clear for similar reasons, it's unnecessary and worsens exploitation. Does stigmatizing buying off of Shein hurt sweatshop workers in your opinion? I don't think sex workers should be punished either to be clear, I think johns and pimps should, and sex workers should be helped back into professions that don't require getting raped daily you know.
I think a few surveys, but it is true that there's not much data on that specifically. There's quite a lot of data on rates of violence, sexual and not and it's like 50%. When I look it up, most of the statistics from surveying SWers are like 80-95% wanting to leave though.
Sure but wanting something to continue to exist because it's old is by definition conservative. If you want it to exist for some other reason DESPITE it being old then ok that's not. I still disagree regardless.
Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive
Pick a fucking side
Well,
1. Radical feminism isn't just for developed countries. Who told you that was the case?
I can agree, things have gotten better in countries with more feminist policies, but these things certainly have not been there even in "developed" countries for "more than a century". Need I remind you the fact that 50 years ago women weren't allowed to have bank accounts without a mans permission in America? Or that marital rape was only fully illegal in the US as of 1993? And dude look, abortion was made illegal again in many states, a lot of them overlap with the ones that have the most issues with teen pregnancy and child marriage (red states). This is another specific issue.
But enough about America alone. Globally, women's rights have been recently taking a turn for the worse.
You can't undo literal millennia of oppression in only 50 years, and yes attitude and perceptions around women's rights is also important to push policies. Policy doesn't come out of thin air and people generally don't protest for things they don't think they need.
2. I provided specific policies already. It's not my fault if you can't read. And boycotts or each of these polices are just examples, not the full solution. It's a lot more complex and gradual. For example, living women the right to vote also didn't get rid of the patriarchy but it did help. Telling the suffragettes they should give up protesting and that it's hopeless for women to have equal rights however, was not. How are you going to accuse us of doomerism and then delegitimize all political activism and call it useless?
3. The ideas of male and female socialization are pretty integral to radfem theory on gender. If you had doubts, then you can just ask her. No need for charades. What tells you "that person doesn't actually agree that the problem lies in socialisation" lmao?
4. That's the thing, we're against gendered socialization in general. There's not really much to be done in policy at this time, other than trying to educate people get rid of the notion that male and female brains are significantly different or that people are hard-wired as feminine vs masculine because of their brain's gender. Gender ideology/activism did push this back a bit in the scientific field.
What are your proposed solutions or specific issues you want addressed? I hear a lot of criticism from you but... no suggestions?
We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful
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 ☭✯☭
