why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.
hate that "love women more than you hate men" is only ever used as to mean "stop dividing the movement by pointing out my privilege!!"
Yeah, cause even in radical feminism now, women don't examine their internalized misogyny.
It's all about deflecting blame for their decisions onto biology, and getting with men while at the same time expecting to be able to take down patriarchy.
If only we could shake them into understanding that being with men upholds the patriarchy and women will never be free the longer they keep it going.
They accuse us of dividing the movement, but what movement? Feminism is a joke when they pander to the patriarchy so blatantly and shamelessly.
have you ever seen that post where someone called out how simone de beauvoir was trafficking young girls and a radfem reblogged it to write this long drawn out post on how simone was actually the real victim in the situation, with not a peep about the girls she helped victimize
And I still remeber that. I also remeber the backlash i got when I made the post :)
These women don't give a shit about the well being of girls.
Time and again I have seen them defend misogynist women and not hold hem accountable because of some stupid concept of solidarity that they don't even know about.
"supporting women's rights and wrongs" doesn't even sound funny at this point.
You are true anon. These radblrinas defend their dead idols over the well-being of women.. Mary dale was very homophobic and still her texts are passed around. Andrea dworkin's texts on lesbians opened my eyes on how lesbophobic she is. And no one batted an eye.
But what I seem to notice is that this solidarity doesn't seem to extend for lesbians, woc and marginalised women.
They hate gay males for misogyny but find their bfs misogyny cute.
They write posts "Avg white male is less misogynistic than avg man in middle east" "Afghan men hated women, so they established Taliban" while their western gov actively supplied funds for terrorist organisations and de stabalised the middle east.
Their sympathy extends only for women who uphold oppression.
i don't understand it when radfems/leans reblog or post content of super femmed-up women, usually celebs, like ... this is all the stuff radfems are criticizing and against because it harms women, do you really still find it aesthetically pleasing?? am i the crazy one for being confused?? i don't want to just straight up accuse so many people of being hypocrites but i really do not get it

As a person who has worked with many groups of kids in my life, none of them has been hurt by a #childless woman on social media. A woman who is openly child-hating to the point she complains about crying kids on an airplane presents no harm to kids. These women are self-aware enough to know that they are not capable of caring for a child. What they truly hate is society constantly pressuring women to be mothers and caregivers. Even women who claim to be feminists refuse to understand that children are hurt by people who claim to love them and spend loads of unmonitored time with them (relatives, teachers, religious figures, and other caretakers). If you even spend five minutes in childless/antinatalist female spaces, it's about birth control, getting tubes tied without being married, and memes about having free time or dunking on people who say women without children can't be truly happy. Nowhere in these pages are women recounting abusing children or fantasies about harming children...you know...like men would.
There’s various stripes of politicians all over the west who are clamoring for childless adults to have restrictions on their political eligibility, voting rights, and pension payments. No two days go by without some form of fearmongering article about birth rates and/or labor shortage.
Today already childless people pay more taxes for a multitude of services and institutions that will never, ever, benefit them, but pays for people whose more or less explicit motivations for reproducing often do include child benefits. Actually single and childless americans are the only population who can be taxed into poverty from their low wages. There are benefits are only available to poor Americans under 25 only if they have a child.
In my country, childless people cannot bestow an orphan pension on anyone (if they are married they cannot increase the widow/er ’s pension either) with the money they saved up, so that money goes back to the pension fund’s pool to pay off longer lived people, or the spouses and children of other deceased (I am definitely taking my pension, if it still exists, and if it’s still legal by then, in lump capital payment over monthly payments for these reasons lol)
Depending on your country’s exact statutes it may not be discrimination yet but it will be in our lifetimes. Everything is moving that way.
kink isnt sexual and dude isnt gendered and aces can desire sex and cishet men are queer and lesbians can sleep with men and twinks can be fat and communists can own for-profit businesses and punks don’t have to listen to punk music and vegans can eat meat and white people are poc and humans can breathe underwater
No offense but we all know that mikey madison and everyone in her likeness is just a whore and that women like that shouldnt have any kind of opportunities whatsoever, let alone to win a fucking oscar. Why are young women even entering that depraved industry when the whole planet knows that you have to suck and fuck your way through it to get anywhere? Everyone knows that all actors, models and singers are prostitutes, why do the viewers not boycott this shit? If you really must watch it then at the very least do not pay money for it. Hollywood is the biggest propaganda machine on the planet but all that feminists have to say to films like anora is, 'Well its mens fault that we are forced to be have plastic surgery, be a prostitute, degrade ourselves in xyz manner'. It has got completely pathetic now. Call a spade a spade: women who whore themselves out need to be renounced if not punished.
Nobody on radblr ever goes "hm. female socialization is so prevalent and suffocating that certain women will rebel against it and look down on women perpetuating it. We need to be considerate of them too. #all women are my sisters"
It only gets mentioned in the context of "be considerate and say nothing against str8 momma #16781265829^10 who is doing everything patriarchy wants her to even if it's throwing you under the bus"
hm. so interesting
you have to rid yourself of the idea that everyone whose nuance threatens yours belongs to The Other Side. a good way to start doing that is to accept yourself as a culturally informed subject whose internality, too, is constructed of ideas that are worth critiquing, and will be forever
Women enjoy the danger of men.
They know that men are always abusive in some way, whether it's weaponized domestic incompetence, financial, or more severe emotional or sexual abuse.
Most continue to date them, because they get a certain sort of sick high on not knowing how abusive and tumultuous the next one will be.
Women are also far more competitive with other women than many people would have you believe. They can be as competitive as men in their own ways, because they compete with other women for men.
They compete to see how much they can take, while maintaining the so-called status symbol of being owned by a man. They become proud of their own degredation.
Men are nothing, really, in the grand scheme of things. Once you realize they're subhumans, they don't have emotional power over you anymore.
Traitor women are the ones who can really hurt us.
The ones who will ignore us for months while in the lovebombing phase of their latest master, as he draws them onto the hook for the new obsession.
The ones who only contact us when the abuse gets to be too much and all they do is vent. Never a, "how are you these days"? Their entire world is their moid.
We will try to help them get out of abusive situations, over and over, and they may sometimes claim to want help, but refuse to take the steps which they could take to leave.
There are situations where women are trying to make escape plans, but due to lack of outside / financial support and the threat of losing her kids, she can't figure out how to.
The above situation is also common.
So it's important to try to educate young women to get educated and have their own careers, but we can't beg them. We can't waste too much time on people who can't hear us.
Women will do what they want at the end of the day and it usually involves letting some man control them.
And ultimately, we have to look out for ourselves so that those women, along with men, don't control us.
