As A Middle Schooler I Can Say That All The Casual Misogyny That Freely Exists On The Internet (and Just

"Radfems aren't safe people and they hurt women!"

If I brought up the little details of my sexual abuse to radical feminists, I wouldn't be blamed.

I wouldn't be told "well 17 is still legal" or "6 years isn't that bad of an age gap".

I wouldn't be told that it's not possession of child pornography because I "willingly" sent him photos of myself.

I wouldn't be told I led him on.

I wouldn't be told I stalked and abused him when I was behaving like a confused, traumatised child who didn't know what else to do.

I would be told it wasn't my fault. I would be supported. My pain would be validated. My experience wouldn't be diminished by "other people have it worse".

And I would be confident that this support wasn't a facade.

I will never get that from any other "feminist" community and believe me - I have tried.

Radfem spaces are the safest places for women who are victims of abuse and sex based violence.

Hiya! Fellow teenage radfem (tho about to become an adult so take that as you will)!

Don't let others discredit you because of your age! However, don't feel pressured to have the same ideas forever. Keep questioning things, keep thinking critically, and if you change your mind then don't beat yourself up obmver "having been young" or whatnot. Doing all of these things is what led me to becoming a radfem and gender critical and I now feel that I have a lot less cognitive dissonance lol

Also, please remember to take breaks from radblr, since it can be a lot especially for all of us on the younger side.

Wish you all the best!

In trans activist-spaces, “cis woman” is essentially used the same way “Karen” is

happy international women's day!! 💚🤍💜 wishing every women a wondrous day and week and month and year and decade and life <333

People talking about the “censorship” of Ao3 and it’s just people not wanting rape porn on the site

Where's the "op is a TERF" energy whenever people see some "great" work of art or literature by a sexist man

People don’t pay enough attention to stuff like this

i think its because femininity is seen as an EXTRA effort on men but a requirement for womyn.

“making myself look feminine but in a gay tw*nk serving c*nt type of way”

or maybe you are just a woman who looks feminine ? genuinely why do so many women think that whatever they do if it’s done by a man it’s a hundred times better ? like ????

'non binary' people are usually just gnc, or a mix of female and male stereotypes. you think you arent a female or male because you dont like conforming to the stereotypes of your (actual) gender, so yeah, you base your gender on stereotypes.

gender stereotypes contribute nothing to your gender. you cant become a womyn or a man because those things ultimately mean nothing but your sex once you remove what society expects from the labels

^ the assumption by an anti-trans buttface that all identities "are based solely on gender stereotypes"

You're probably assuming I'm binary trans. Like, I went from one gender to the other. Classic radfem thinking.

That's much like saying that socialism is based on capitalism.

There isn't any way we can start socialism without the influence of capitalism when we exist in capitalism. There isn't any way that one can exist than with the influence of the existent reality.

However, based solely? That's just stupid.

Gender is all around us. I can't exist and presume that I have not been influenced by gender. However, by no means is the gender norm definitive of my or others' identity (unless they choose it so).

Binary trans is one way to exist, and non binary is the opposite. to be "based soley on gender stereotypes" would be to assume that all binary trans people are acting like the gender because the stereotype says so, but that's often not the case. Binary trans people are often using gender norms as guidelines because passing and fitting in is part of the desire of being trans - mostly for other people to respect and treat them with dignity, not because they are basing themselves off stereotypes.
