I've never understood the argument: "You're going to alienate people if you continue to hold such a purist view." I saw that a lot in radfem circles before I left.
Alienate whom exactly? The people who don't care about the meaning of the label they're applying to themselves? The people who selfishly want to warp a whole movement or definition to include them, because they don't want to follow certain foundational aspects of it but still want to be included in the "club"?
It's so crazy how radfems would shun any other people narcissistically and falsely trying to include themselves in a group they don't belong to (4Bers who still date men, kinksters calling themselves asexuals, men calling themselves women) and yet they fall for this cry for "inclusivity"by women who are trying to water down their movement from within. It's such a joke!
You shouldn't be worried EVER about alienating people who are objectively not part of your group/movement; this is common sense. You should be gatekeeping the true meaning of it ruthlessly, or just give up and accept that it's going to be unrecognizable in a few short years.
Not every abdominal pain is a period cramp.
That part of the Bible that talks about women going through painful childbirth due to Eve eating the apple is so obviously man made. Men saw our ability to survive such an ordeal and really got so offended they needed a way to insult our strength. Real pathetic behavior. I'll admit I was raised in a Christian community, and I still believe there's something spiritual out there, but the patriarchal manipulation is so fucking obvious. Like to me, there could very possibly be a god, but not the one that men made. The fear mongering of "you're all going to hell!!! Unless you listen to me~" is so foul I canttttt
I can't forgive the TRAs for turning the near universal trauma of girlhood into some convoluted proof that gender dysphoria is innate, and being some flavor of trans is the only explanation for those feelings. What better way to stop womens progression and liberation than to take away the words and experiences shared by those who have experienced lifelong misogyny. The silence is deafening
You can really see "women see other women as enemies" it's female socialization. Back then, women were constantly pushed to hate each other. We saw it through movies, novels, everywhere. And everytime, everytime other women were painted in a bad light because they "were trying to steal our man"
All of this content were made by men themselves, they knew if women were busy fighting each other, they would never realize men are the actual cause of most women's struggles. They knew if we were together, we would be strong.
Now most women are aware of who they should be aware of. I see so many women supporting each other, and it makes me so happy.
Nobody can impose physical criteria because they are with women from birth. The only thing that patriarchy imposed was the concept of "gender"
Long hair, dresses, skirts, makeup do not make a woman a woman
A dog can't be a cat unless it was born a cat. Even if a dog starts meowing, it will still remain a dog
If a trans woman hasn’t undergone surgery, how can she be considered a real woman?
The validity of a woman’s identity is not tied to her physical appearance or medical procedures.
Societal pressures that tell women their worth is determined by how closely they adhere to gendered expectations. A trans woman is a woman whether or not she chooses to undergo surgery. Her identity is rooted in her self-determination, not in fulfilling a set of physical criteria imposed by patriarchal norms.
If you only knew how much Muslims want to wage jihad. They want to be heroes of the Islamic war. I feel sick every time men talk about massacres with reverence.
It's not widely publicized, but Islam allows sex slaves. Only for men, of course. And then they try to convince me that it's the most feminist religion. Fuck zombies
The most insane psyop of the twenty first century was people trying to convince the world that Islam is a #progressive religion or somehow more progressive than Christianity when— ignoring all of its other flaws— Islam and Islamic societies have engaged in just as much colonialism and colonialist atrocities as Christianity and Christian societies, and that colonialism is still on-going today. Places like Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Libya, Malaysia, Sudan, and even fucking Iran did not just come into being as Muslim, it took centuries of oppression of indigenous populations and their religion to get to that point. Islam (as well as Christianity!) is not above criticism.
Every time 🤦🏽♀️
All the women I follow are so sweet, fierce and awesome 🩷💞💕
