DO ITTTTT

I cannot believe what I am about to say, but radical feminism is healing me.

I’ve been suffering from an eating disorder (an0rex1a) nearly all my life, my first worries about weight started when I was 9 years old and slightly chubby (and people made sure to point out that was bad).

More than a year ago, I reached my weight goal of 45kg at 175cm (99 lbs at 5’9"), and I thought I had made it. Finally, I became undeniably skinny, skinnier than most, the smallest I could be without dying, and therefore worthy.

Spending my days faintly, mostly sleeping, unable to work, study, or read, I thought that made me better. That my endless suffering meant I was worthy of true love, admiration, and all the better things in life.

Looking back, I am sad for my past self. For the first time in my life, I am making an effort to gain weight, to gain my life, my capacity, my abilities. I gained 7kg (15 pounds) in a year, but most of it came after reading (and taking it in—which took months) radical feminism theory, and now, being in this community.

Now, eating breakfast worth of calories of my full day back then, I feel freer. I am genuinely stopping equating my worth to my suffering, not just pretending I do in front of therapists and psychiatrists—but from within.

I cannot stress it enough. I had never been this free in my life, and throughout the endless years of treatment, I was sure I was never going to heal; some therapists even declined to work with me, for I was deemed a desperate case.

Therapy has flaws, as it focuses on the individual, on our own actions, while radical feminism points out the wider problem—systemic oppression.

The problem was never me.

The fucking AUDACITY to compare Andr*w T*te to JK Rowling... this bandwagon hate brainwashing has to be studied.

It is worrying how easy it is for society to hate women and how difficult it is for them to hate men.

A man can be a proven criminal, have accusations of sexual abuse or harassment, a man can act like an idiot on national television, and still society will find a way to excuse him, they will find a way to defend him, to say that he didn't know what he was doing, that it's not that big of a deal, that it's a lie. Society will not hesitate to defend a man even when there is evidence that he is a disgusting human being.

But for society the mere existence of a woman is reason enough to hate her. A woman can exist and society will find any small detail to destroy her, A woman can become successful and they will find a way to say she doesn't deserve it, a woman can be hated for her body, her way of dressing, her job, her ideas, her partner, and society will not find a reason to defend her or they will decide to ignore this reasons.

No matter what a woman does, society will always find something to hate her about, they can spread lies and rumors in order to ruin her career, while with a man it is not like that, with a man there can be clear and real evidence that he is a disgusting human being and they will still love him.

All this is absolutely ridiculous and hypocritical, why is it so easy for them to hate a woman but so difficult to hate a man?

that boyfriend wants to be violent towards her

thinking about how my friend was telling me it was so hot her boyfriend choked her, but he didn't even ask beforehand☹. and you think this is just normal?

i wish that there were female only vacation resorts. even if there were i dont think id be able to go any time soon, but still. imagine how amazing that would be. no worries about creepy men at beaches. my dream

I know drag queens are supposed to be in good fun and all but the mockery exhibited by them is actually disgusting. Posing as a stereotypical Russian hooker? It’s literally just a mockery of women who are being trafficked in foreign countries. People forget that Gay men can be just as misogynistic as straight men and it’s a huge issue.

i really really really don't care about trans shit anymore. like it's just not a thought in my mind. I'm terrified. i went on instagram and the first post i saw was "trump said there are only two genders! that's awful" I DONT GIVE A SINGULAR FUCK? I'm terrified. I'm terrified for the earth, there's a nazi in the white house that gets control of a whole department, 4 hours into his presidency there was a sieg heil by musk, he will leave everything to states and i will have no protections. I'm scared that my birth control will be taken and i eventually die alone and bloody from pregnancy complications. im scared for how bold nazis and racists and misogynists are going to be. i don't want more drilling.

i don't give a fuck if he said there's only male and female. he's trying to distract you from all the horrific shit he wants to do

Of course you feel disconnected from your gender it’s quite literally a made up set of rules based on stereotypes

We need a feminist movement that encourages women to get their carry permit. Like I mean it. So many men thinks it’s okay to say weird things to women and girls, we need to start carrying a gun. Something to scare men.
