I really appreciate your input thank you for interacting š«¶
1) I figured it was a very small percentage but I still wanted to know if it was still a belief in the community
2) thank you for clearing that up and I complete agree with what you said
3) Iām a aiming you mean that people donāt look at their own communities flaws when it comes to issues like this and I completely agree
4) Iāve actually mostly heard a and b in this community, I can understand saying trans men and women need their own movement I just donāt understand a lot of the hate towards them in the community , Iāve heard a lot of people say itās because they think being a woman is a costume which I donāt believe is true and I donāt believe that majority of trans women think of womanhood that way
5) I was actually raised in a cult lol and had major gender roles forced and beliefs forced on me , I donāt think they are ani feminist I have always thought that feminism gave us the choice to things like wanting be a house wife and wanting a family or being childless and pursuing a career, itās like people who say that wearing hijabs is oppressive even if the women may not have been raised in a country where Islam or modesty is prevalent. I 100 percent agree that our upbringing and the things that have been implanted into our minds and young girls stays with us forever and influences our decisions when it comes to lifestyle and belief
Iām really glad we can have this discussion, again thank you for responding š«¶
My take on āradical feminismā that nobody asked for
I myself consider myself leaning very into radical feminism but I see that terf ideologies seem to get mixed in more often than not (wanna make it clear I support trans rights)
1. A lot of rad fems think that all heterosexual sex is rape which is such an insane thing to do and implies that women do not have the power or capacity to consent to heterosexual sex
2. I do agree that we as woman will never find liberation through sex or sex work however rad fems do not realize that a lot of women fall into sex work and can not simply quit, I do not support the sex work industry but I support sex workers
3. To me it seems a lot of white women have overshadowed the movement and only mention woc when itās used as an aha! moment against men and not with the intention of actually helping
4. Extreme transphobia, the main idea is that trans women rape womenās bodyās and appropriating the body, my conflict with this is women are not their bodies and trans women have always felt like women since birth is the biological aspect thatās the problem
5. A lot of rad fems think a women choosing a certain lifestyle or religion is oppressive which again perpetuates the idea that women can not make a choice without a man or patriarchal idea being involved or a sense of brain washing
I think a lot of rad fems have lost sense of the movement and more times than often make themselves appear victim like and in a constant state of martyrdom, yes we women have suffered and continue to suffer and be oppressed but we can not let this weight break us down and make us point fingers at people (trans women and women who choose religion or certain life styles) who are not the root cause of our suffering
Please let me know your thoughts
To me personally itās worse when a women commits a horrible crime against another woman itās worse than a man doing it since I expect it from a man and not a woman who goes through similar societal struggles,
We need to hold bad women accountable for their actions instead of saying āwell it doesnāt happen as oftenā or āwell men do it more so itās not as much of a problemā
Never said that trans women were the ābetter womenā
Iāve seen a lot of women feel like trans women being accepted into female spaces takes away from their struggle or the prejudice they face when that is simply not true
Nothing can take away our achievements and what we have struggled through
Some rad fems use misogynistic trans women as a āgotchaā moment but that is not true for most of the trans community and there are unfortunately women haters everywhere
I actually think bathrooms like that should be changed into individual booths so everyone can have more privacy instead of those insane gaps American ones have
I agree completely with this post
What do yāall think?
āļøEditāļø
I am not threatened or feel at danger with transwomen because I am secure in my womanhood and see a future for myself without misogyny,
If a cis man wants to enter womenās restrooms to prey on women he will, many of these predators just use being trans as an excuse to be in womenās restrooms without actually being trans
I think saying that any choice a women makes is based on how misogyny has effected her and how women will never truly have free will is like submitting to misogyny and accepting āfateā
Any woman who truly believes that women can do no wrong and so wrong it baffles me
Does anyone know where you can find good Jay Gatsby fanfiction.... He's literally the man of my dreams
Hate the hashtags you added, screams white women in trouble,
It really shows how you truly donāt bother to understand why I wonāt see white women as my allies when the only reason (mostly) white women care about issues that happen to women of color are either because it has begun to affect them, or to use it as a point as to why they hate men and to never do anything to actively help them and even now you are trying to cry victim because I āinclude men but not white womenā
White women have never included women of color into their feminism unless it also benefited them
The only reason they bring up women in Palestine, Congo, or Afghanistan is to prove how awful men are not to actually help, I have rarely ever seen a white women care about what happens to women of color
We women of color especially in America have had to fight for our rights way harder than white women and that is just a fact, sorry not sorry if you got your feelings hurt by a women of color stating the obvious that most white women will never see women like me as equals
The prejudice some women face isnāt just because of their sex but also because of their race or ethnicity
White feminism at its finest lol
I've seen your profile and I couldn't be more surprised on how you're the only rad leaning feminist that I can agree
You are educated, you are nice with the others and I really appreciate how you handle all this harrassment, they call you a TRA or worse stuff, some even go down to throw misogynistic slurs and speak at you, just because you are nice with trans people
I think is that you're not white and not from west and being a sister not from Europe or north america i can agree we both have different views on trans people than the people there, we are more accepting and aware on how they are (I'm from latin america btw)
I do agree by a lot with your points
thank you if you read that
šš Iām so glad you found my profile!!
Iām from Latin America as well and come form a tribe that is a direct descendant of the Mayans
I have gotten very hateful comments especially about my culture which was very odd to me since we live in peace and are able to coexist and some radfems here have the audacity to say my culture is wrong just because I donāt see trans people as a threat to women because in my community they never have been
It is very sad that they insult me and degrade me and tell me I have no self respect which is the exact same thing men say to me to insult me
One thing I have learned is that white women will never be women of colors allies, never have been never will be, and Iām assuming most of the women spewing hate speech at me are white women who lack any cultural context and donāt bother to educate themselves or listen to what non white women have to say. They have a very āim right and your wrongā mindset
Iām glad to meet someone like minded and I hope my blog continues to reach more people like you
Much love šš«¶
Wot š§š½āāļølol
I understand how a lot of women do not want womanhood and the being a woman be reduced to just our genitals and I also see how other women do not want womanhood to be defined by stereotypes or what society thinks a woman is and use biology as a way to define it,
However in my culture women have never been seen as weak and have never had negative stereotypes put on us so I think I do have a disconnect to women who define being a woman with our genitalia and tend to agree with the first more
Women in my culture are seen as strong warriors, protectors, nurtures etc so I never minded those things defining womanhood and femininity in my community I do however have a problem with how the patriarchy sees us
What do yāall think?
Except it isnāt at the expense of others
A womenās life is more valuable than a fetus who has a possibility of life
The woman is alive not the fetus
In all of your scenarios where a woman would want/need an abortion it would involve consensual sex completely ignoring rape victims and little girls
Sometimes abortion is the answer
Sure maybe doctors donāt know enough about the female body to provide an alternative for abortion, but that is the only thing that is available as of right now that could help woman and girls while health advances are being made
Unpopular opinion: "Abortions are a lifesaving medical procedure" = "We don't know anything about the female body and we refuse to learn, so we sold women this procedure that kills their young and we packaged it all pretty to convince women that it's empowering. But don't point that out or think for yourself about it."
I looove āall men until proven otherwiseā I definitely agree with this statement as I myself am very uncomfortable around men and enter a fight or flight mentality when I am near them, thanks for having that discussion with me š«¶

So female doctors donāt have an understanding of the female body but somehow you a random tumblr user do?
Literally where have you heard about it being used as birth control? That is literally just a conspiracy theory used to push the agenda that women cannot control themselves and need a man to regulate them and make rules for them
It isnāt ātechnicallyā true, it is true that there are many circumstances where a women would need an abortion. Especially a child
If a women chooses to not follow through with a pregnancy it is her choice,
Youāre acting as if women arenāt allowed to enjoy sex and simultaneously not want a child, not everyone is cut out to be a mother wether that be for financial or mental reasons and I would much rather a women get an abortion than put a child into a dangerous situation. Women who have been victims of rape should not be forced to birth a child they never wanted.
Even if that were true how would making it illegal affect the women who do need it? They would not be able to access it and that is exactly what is happening right now.
Unpopular opinion: "Abortions are a lifesaving medical procedure" = "We don't know anything about the female body and we refuse to learn, so we sold women this procedure that kills their young and we packaged it all pretty to convince women that it's empowering. But don't point that out or think for yourself about it."
It would either make me cry or turn me on more lol
No matter how much I am attracted to house I know that if I worked for him I would think he was the most annoying mf on earth and quit my job working for him within a month lol
