Buying sex is an oxymoron. Sex by definition is consensual. If a prostitute wanted to have sex with a john, he would not have to pay her for it.
This is why prostitution is rape. Prostitutes do not want the sex. They need the money, they need food, housing, and childcare. Even to the prostitutes who have “chosen” sex work, it is most often a question of “Would you be raped for your children to eat?” or “Would you be raped to keep your home?”
In the public opinion, if you coerce a woman into letting you fuck her by offering her the resources she lacks, offering a hungry woman food or a sick woman medicine, a woman who would not have sex with you otherwise, you are a rapist.
But if you offer money to fuck her so that she can pay for those things herself, you are a feminist and she is empowered through the transaction.
i was in the replies on this and i think they lost their minds.. lesbians cant have ANYTHINGGG
there’s no way this isn’t satire. right?! RIGHT!??
“a guy who genuinely feels their attraction to women is queer/sapphic/lesbian/etc” I can’t do this shit anymore.
You can only talk about misogyny on this site in passive language without getting backlash. It’s fine to say that it’s bad when women are oppressed, but saying it’s bad when men oppress women will ignite cries of “not all men!” It’s defanged feminism. It’s removing the actor in the situation, removing the oppressor class from the oppression.
But the patriarchy isn’t a force of nature, inflicting suffering without any real perpetrator. It isn’t an act of god. It’s an act of men.
Where's the "op is a TERF" energy whenever people see some "great" work of art or literature by a sexist man
We should hype up dental care routines more instead of skincare routines
if the definition of "womyn" is "an adult human person with a desire to be in accordance with the particular set of cultural and social norms typically associated with the female sex",
what are the things associated with us that youre talking about? thats just a fancy way of upholding gender stereotypes.
further, if a womyn from an area/time that still views womyn as property said she wanted to be in accordance with how the MALE sex is treated in her society to escape her oppression, would that make her transgender?
would that make her less of a womyn?
"the most extreme example" is a reality for alot of womyn and girls.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
radical feminists arent a hivemind like tras are lol, opinions will differ on different topics
it's genuinely crazy that free the nipple died
Hey, with how young you are I just want to say please be careful online, especially on Tumblr. In general I don’t recommend kids your age be on social media because of the high risk of bullying and grooming and it’s kind of more risky if you’re on the political side. Remember that you never owe anyone your time or space, you have a right to boundaries and to say no to anyone at any time for any reason. Block anyone without guilt and with gusto and if there are any trusted adults in your life, tell them if someone’s making you do anything or makes you feel unsafe. Good luck out there kid
i appreciate you :)
you can be a boy and wear 'girl' clothes. it doesn't make you a girl. being stereotypically feminine doesn't make you a girl, being female does.
If a woman points out a boy is wearing a skirt by calling it girl's clothing, ask them if they realize they are wearing men's clothing and stare at their pants.
Seriously. How is this still a topic. They're just clothes!
any gender assigned is arbitrary and you're just mad that you're not as pretty as them.
do you want any book recs? feminist or otherwise?
i was too scared to ask lol, yes id love that! :-)
