Western women are weak.
the worst person you've ever met: the most revolutionary thing you can do is hang out with your friends. if you can't hang out with me you're denying me the sense of community i need to survive and yes i know went on a pseudo-political rant about how you're a terrible person last time i saw you because i felt rejected by you not wanting to take responsibility for my basic needs (which you don't want to do because you've been brainwashed by capitalism) but sometimes human relationships are messy and if you can't stand by me through good and bad you're literally an oppressor with an avoidant attachment style who doesn't understand that you being needed by me is a profound gift borne out of my gracious superhuman vulnerability. i took accountability. now you 🫵
Dating a broke man is stupid, marrying a broke man is even dumber and having children with a broke man is child abuse.
I think about your post about women’s feminist views coming from a place of genuinely loving men a lot.
radfeminism in general comes from a place of wanting to reform men and convince them to be niceys because women cannot let go of their love for them and honestly genuinely truly want to be loved back. and the tryhard misandry comes from a place of hurt, the realization that men view them as subhuman even though they crave their affection, respect and attention like nothing else - while desperately wanting to be treated as an equal. this is why they willingly and readily abandon both when the right nigel comes along lol they think that their nigel is different and that they themselves are different because they're experiencing it firsthand and their experiences are real, unlike everyone else's. but that's to be expected in a hetero society, no amount of politics will ever keep women and men from each other
one of the most frustrating things about the neil gaiman situation (and others like it) is people who were fans immediately moving to a different person to idolise ('well, at least we still have x author' or 'please tell me y author is still a good person') and in this situation specifically, 'terry pratchett would be furious'. no!!! you do not know!!!you have no idea whether terry pratchett or any author you like was/is a predator! you cannot take a situation in which a man's public persona as a feminist and supporter of women allowed him to prey on vulnerable women without suspicion and then look at all the other men who portray themselves as good people and say 'well, these ones are still okay though.' just stop idolising celebrities!!!!!!!
I sometimes feel betrayed, concerned, in disbelief, and even disgusted with women's willful participation in patriarchy, but I am working on that. A day will come when I no longer care about any of it. From that moment on, it won't even register to me anymore. I will have accepted I was never truly owed sisterhood, nor is there a point in building it when you realise that the majority of women are deviants themselves, trapped in heated heterosexual foreplay.
Sisterhood comes across as a euphemism for labour from childfree women who are either in homosexual relationships or are celibate while the majority of women offer nothing to help those women's broken backs. They're more likely to drop a drawer of knives on their backs, really. It's not something I want to be a part of. Even among women, sisterhood is to sacrifice yourself for women who cater to males or have failed catering to males but learned nothing from it.
One day when I happen to see their struggle amongst themselves in endless cycles of empty words, cute slogans, and briefly trending hashtags while they continue loving men, regardless of how many times they prove unsalvageable, I'll not feel emotional about it at all anymore. And I will be a happier woman for it.
being in a relationship with a man requires cognitive dissonance. When you’re a radfem in a relationship with a man, reblogging rape and dv statistics it’s so much more extreme than it is for the average woman.
