"Men in dresses are seen as bad, but women in pants aren't!"
is not the statement that "men can't be feminine but women can be masculine in society" that you think it is.
Let me introduce: women with facial hair. Full beards. Mustaches. Bald women. Bodybuilder women. Women with visible body hair. These aren't "more acceptable" than men in dresses.
Pants don't have a gendered association anymore, while dresses do. There is something to be said for that, but it certainly ISN'T "masculine women are acceptable now."
Basing "feminism" and "praxis" on being a "girl's girl" or emphasizing "sorority" instead of critical analysis of female opression, which includes the criticism of certain women (madames in brothels, abusive mothers, female bullies, female sexual predators), was counterproductive.
It's a staple of this "feminism" to think of women's opression in feelings terms. It's bad because it makes you sad, or dysphoric, or desperate, or angry and therefore the solution is feelings based: you need to feel better, happier aka empowered. Which makes the fight for representation and diversity in media a crucial issue, for example.
Even issues in which legal protections should be emphazised, the usian utilitarianism twists them into feeling based "i dont feel safe around men in bathrooms".
The usamerican utilitarian basis (which priorizes happiness maximization) corrupts every ideology or political movement that steps a foot in the USA.
"Choice feminism" aka "liberal feminism" which is simply american misogyny spreads like fire thanks to its compatibility with fast and catchy slogans. Usian propaganda aka advertising and utilitarianism are totally compatible therefore usian misogyny is easily shared in social media, platforms made for marketing purposes.
Becoming a parent is an ego death for the mother. But not for the father. When a couple has a child, the woman becomes a woman and the man stays a man. In the sense that, the role of being a mother is inescapable. A baby is latched to you 24/7 in a way that isn't the case for the father. Even if you were pumping and so that the father could get up and feed the baby instead, you still are going to have to get up to pump to keep your production. There's nothing that a man can do that the woman doesn't already have to do. Most men continue their extracurricular activities as normal, having days out with the boys meanwhile women find that they can't even take a shower anymore without requiring advanced coordination. I mean heck, the fact that men can have multiple families but a woman never can, speak to this fact.
Prior to this, as just a couple without children - you can have gender equality. So if you don't already have it at that stage, you will definitely never have it when you have children.
But the act of having a child is an inescapable gender inequity. Parenthood can never be 50/50 even with a very involved partner. I think this is a very hard pill to swallow.
Blaming women for any part of their oppression is misogynistic. Yes women are the guard dogs of the patriarchy, but because their life is on the line if they don't

nuanced takes on radblr are like “let’s all just do nothing then cry about it” lol
Don't read below unless you can't handle my ranting...
Radical feminists on here seriously gotta stop lying to themselves because it's getting fucking embarrassing. No matter if the average woman trains all her life, eats the highest protein rich foods she will never ever be as physically capable as a man. Women please don't listen to these women they are setting you up to die or be very badly injured. Over the past few days I've watched several street fight, training and sports videos with the main premise being man vs women and let me tell you... The woman almost always lose to the men. I know as women this hurts deeply (especially those of us who have experienced male violence in person) but men are physically superior to us in pretty much all ways. Women who are incredibly strong and can actually fight most men are extremely fucking rare, They are more rare than a blood moon and no I'm not joking when I say that.
Even if you put two babies (boy n girl) under the same strict diet, exercise and training the man will stills be biologically superior. And a lot of women think men are only strong because of their strength when thats not even the fucking tip of the iceberg...Men have
Superior fast twitch muscles
They have explosive strength
They are usually taller
Their bone mass is denser
The have bigger organs
Superior agility
The have great skin absorbtion
They have impeccable endurance
They have unreal stamina
Great reaction time
Way better killer instincts
Men evolved to be fighters and subjegators...
Women evolved to be submissive baby carriers...
Smarter and more rational than women (yes this has been proven)
And before you say I suffer from internalized mysogny no the fuck I don't because unlike most women I don't bend over backwards for men, I simply refuse to lie to my self about reality. The only things I can think of in ways women are physically superior to men is in..
Flexibility
Child birth
Balance
Bodily resistance
And no disrespect none of the shit above is gonna save me from being raped or killed by a man if he really wanted to inflict serious harm on me. Personally speaking and ALOT of y'all are not gonna like this but women are straight up inferior to men in every conceivable way in respect to men..
We forgive men who graped us
We forgive men that beat us
We worship religions that call us subhuman
We permanently destroy our bodies in ridiculous ways for men
We fight to be public or private property to men
We are physically weaker than men both physically and mentally
We are slower than men both physically and mentally
Like no disrespect female superiority is a straight up fucking joke because it's not real. I mean not to sound fucked up but being a woman genuinely fucking sucks. I'm not a tranny nor do I wanna be one but I definitely see why women (especially those who experienced sa or male violence) start shooting their body with testosterone. There are legit no real physical advantages with being a woman I'm sorry but it's the truth. But it doesn't matter anyway because women will know all of this and still give birth to a predator (boy) or slave (girl) regardless because they love the patriarchy just as much as males.
Tw: rape
It's extremely common for women to orgasm during sexual assault but very rarely for men. That means women have been raped by men so much that women evolved to "like" (I'm not saying they literally like it calm down)it on some level... And no I'm not blaming those women it's not their fault there body has adopted to rape but it's another example of horrific female inferiority. This would also explain why alot of women have rape fantasies....
With that all being said no I don't want to be a man but women still do suck and I'm tired of being made to feel bad for being honest. This is why antinatalism is thee greatest ideology on this planet because it would literally solve this problem once and for all but breeders will be breeders oh well. And one more last thing this was not to discourage women I'm just ranting but if you truly want to protect yourself against male violence a gun will always be way better than any self defense classes or weightlifting.
a male could write an entire manifesto titled "I am a Rapist. I Am A Rapist Who Rapes Women" and he would receive ten thousand prizes and an online harem of fangirls and then afterwards when women come forward saying the Rape Manifesto guy raped them everyone would be like How Could This Have Happened...!
I just can't get behind this mindset that adult women, some of whom are ultra-rich and educated, are victims of their own choices - such as walking around naked in public, or choosing to do some other degrading thing they weren't forced into (and were paid very well to do, hence why they did it.) Women are not pieces of hay floating helplessly hither and thither by whatever new "breeze" of influence comes upon them. Sometimes a woman making a bad choice is just a woman making a bad choice without any coersion, and she knows exactly what she's doing and why.
I don't care if you want to refrain from judging them for their decisions, but you should seriously question why you think they're not capable of consciously choosing them, or why you think those decisions can't be criticized for the standard they're upholding for other women. Because if you think women have no real agency, then feminism is pointless and you may as well let the men (the people you DO think can make decisions and who you hold responsible for them) do your thinking for you.
i’m actually so sick of seeing posts that completely uncritically glorify women’s addictions to utterly depraved written pornography
