shout out to confident conventionally unattractive womyn. literally never let a mans lack of attraction to you define your worth. ugly men are allowed to be confident and not shamed for it, and so are we!
reminder to all 14-19 year olds girls. that grown man does not like you. you are a victim
the vegetarians are indoctrinating our children. take plant-based diets out of the schools NOW
Vegetarians are also weirdos who want to make people they know vegetarian. Are almost as annoying as vegans
Just notice, how every female-exclusive space soon turn the rules to "non-binaries, transgenders, dogs, parrots, everyone is welcome" while male spaces, stay for males only. We women should STOP sacrificing our space, we should stop being afraid of speaking up, we should stop reducing our body, we should stop being our last priority, all for the sake of not hurting men's feelings. This is not inclusion, it's misogyny with a mask, hidden behind the name of representation.
as a middle schooler i can say that all the casual misogyny that freely exists on the internet (and just society in general) is 100% affecting young men. literally 5 years ago in my grade girls and boys were barely seperated/treated differently by their peers, but once they gained access to the internet (their first taste of unfiltered society), they turn into sexist assholes who barely view women as other humans.
men get praised for the bare minimum in EVERY aspect of life while womyn have to overachieve and still dont get recognized
Male: Abusing women is wrong. (1.000 praising comments and 10.000 likes)
Women: Omg king!!!! we need more men like you ❤️ marry me please 😭 you forgot this 👑
Honestly when i see this, i wanna cry.
in 2022, when i dressed and acted as masculine as possible, i was treated 1000x better then how im treated now, as a feminine woman. i used to be treated like a peer to the men at my school, but now almost all my friendships with males have broken off?
men only view women as friends if they dont find them attractive/a potential partner. otherwise we are just objects to them.
(sorry for weird wording xx)
It’s so disgusting the things people say on here. I’m nearly 17 and I’ve been on radblr since I was 13, but I pretended to be 20 so people would take me seriously. I think there are probably many more of us than people think- like opabinia. I think there are lots of teens and young women who are so caught up in all the TRA stuff because, well, teens are the most dedicated activists for TRA shit and also the most vulnerable and gullible, and I’m sure there are many many teenage girls who aren’t quite in agreement or are fully opposed to trans ideology, or who are just rubbed the wrong way by any element of it, and they may find themselves on tumblr. It’s so disheartening for young women to see so much hatred for…feminists? So strange how things have changed so much in such a short period of time. Misogyny always finds a new form. Anyway sorry idek what my point is, I just bet that a lot of the “adults” or those we assume are adults on here are actually minors because this is the only place they can go and also minors are the most surrounded by trans ideology of anyone. I bet there are droves
theres 100% alot of people on radblr llying about their age XD
I hope you don't mind, I'd like to recommend you some authors for your journey as a young Feminist.
Audre Lorde and bell hooks are two of the most prominent Black, Visionary, Feminists to have ever written. They are foundational staples in Visionary Feminism.
Lorde's short speeches "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House" and "There Is No Hierarchy Of Oppressions" are staples of Feminist literature and if you have access to your local library they can be found in The Selected Works of Audre Lorde, curated by Roxane Gay. "Sister Outsider" is also a staple book of hers.
I specifically recommend "Feminism is for Everybody" by hooks as well as looking into some of the many talks she was a part of before she passed that are all uploaded on YouTube.
Judith Butler is a highly academic read, but very easy to listen to if you look up interviews with them. If you're interested in higher academia Feminist thought, "Gender Trouble" is a great place to start and "Who's Afraid of Gender" really gets into current events and modern politics.
Leslie Feinberg is also a staple lesbian author. You can find a free PDF copy of "Stone Butch Blues" on Feinberg's website - lesliefeinberg.net.
I also recommend Kimberlé Crenshaw, Mikki Kendall, and María Lugones. Crenshaw is a key voice regarding Critical Race Theory and she has many speeches and talks that you can find on YouTube. Mikki Kendall is the author of "Hood Feminism" - which is a staple on my own shelf. Lugones was an Argentine feminist philosopher and similar to Butler, she was deeply academic. Her work is in dialogue with another Peruvian humanist thinker, Aníbal Quijano, regarding colonialism and power.
Most of those books should be available at your local library and almost of these thinkers have talks and speeches freely available on YouTube as well. I truly wish you well in your growth as a young Feminist voice.
i really appreciate this!! ill definitely look into these the next time i go to the library :)
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.
