How most radfems feel after only ever advocating for American and European woman and only bringing up women in Asia,Africa, south and Central America when they can use it as a way to prove how awful men are and never providing any sources to help
Anyways…. Here’s how you can help

Except it isn’t at the expense of others
A women’s life is more valuable than a fetus who has a possibility of life
The woman is alive not the fetus
In all of your scenarios where a woman would want/need an abortion it would involve consensual sex completely ignoring rape victims and little girls
Sometimes abortion is the answer
Sure maybe doctors don’t know enough about the female body to provide an alternative for abortion, but that is the only thing that is available as of right now that could help woman and girls while health advances are being made
Unpopular opinion: "Abortions are a lifesaving medical procedure" = "We don't know anything about the female body and we refuse to learn, so we sold women this procedure that kills their young and we packaged it all pretty to convince women that it's empowering. But don't point that out or think for yourself about it."
Seeing clips of the Lily Phillips interview was truly heart breaking and only reinforces the fact that sex work especially prostitution will never be liberating and only further damages a woman’s mental health and body
For context for anyone who doesn’t know
Lily Phillips was originally only an only fans star but recently slept with 100 men in one go, for free, and filmed it.
In the interview towards the end you see her begin to cry, dissociate, and not even be able to describe how she feels
One thing that really stuck out to me is that she says she felt bad for not being able to fully please all the men and that made it all click for me that she did all of this to feel male validation and got more than what she bargained for.
To punish herself and “put”herself through such an intense trauma makes me feel like the people in her life took advantage of her vulnerability and her wanting to please and exploited it
A tale as old as time
I Can’t stand the people saying that she asked for it or that it’s her fault because she set it up when it’s very obvious she is not in the correct headspace to do things like that, no one is, I really see things like this as a form of self harm and punishment
I really hope she is able to get the help she needs and is able to safely leave the sex industry(slavery)
I agree that is because of misogyny that we don’t know as much about the female body
But saying that an abortion is not a life saving procedure when women have died because they were not able to receive one is erasure of those women who have died as a result of misogynistic policy’s
If medically trained female doctors are saying abortions will save women’s lives and we need to make them legal, we need to listen to them
No one is glamorizing or making abortion “pretty” people are trying to remove the stigma and demonization that women who have had abortions receive
The fetus has the potential to become a baby but is it not a baby, women who receive abortions should not feel like murderers or like they have done something morally wrong
A women’s life is more valuable than a fetuses life
Unpopular opinion: "Abortions are a lifesaving medical procedure" = "We don't know anything about the female body and we refuse to learn, so we sold women this procedure that kills their young and we packaged it all pretty to convince women that it's empowering. But don't point that out or think for yourself about it."
I suggest everyone takes a look at her tik tok
I love the way she does not bullshit or cut corners when it comes to talking about issues in the trans community

I recently returned back to my tribal land in Mesoamérica and it feels so good to have the government off our necks for once.
I Can’t speak for all the tribes but being able to govern ourselves has been so nice especially when it comes to crimes against women
For hundreds of years women of my tribe have been raped and violated by outsiders without any perpetrators facing consequences but now since the former and now president have made it to where we can decide the rules and punishments in our tribe, their punishment is to burn
Literally they are burned alive as punishment and it sends a message to any other men who think of committing sexual crimes against women, this has greatly decreased the amount of sexual assaults
We don’t have government presence in our tribe and do not allow government police or military so it’s only men from our community who keep the community safe,
I have always thought of misogyny as a European ideology since historically in my tribe men and women have both ruled and one was never seen as less than. We are able to coexist together and it is something I wish for all society’s but unfortunately men have become power hungry
⭐️Please let me know if you have any questions about my culture ⭐️
I agree completely with this post

I am not threatened or feel at danger with transwomen because I am secure in my womanhood and see a future for myself without misogyny,
If a cis man wants to enter women’s restrooms to prey on women he will, many of these predators just use being trans as an excuse to be in women’s restrooms without actually being trans
I think saying that any choice a women makes is based on how misogyny has effected her and how women will never truly have free will is like submitting to misogyny and accepting “fate”
Any woman who truly believes that women can do no wrong and so wrong it baffles me
I genuinely think dd/lg and cnc are such disgusting “kinks”
People use the excuse of it being a “coping mechanism” but how is acting like a child who is getting rapped healing in any way
Not only that, but the disgusting men who are into these kinks are obviously preying on vulnerable women who have been abused and use them as an outlet to their perverted and disgusting fantasies that would get them sent to jail
I think any woman who says she enjoys this kink is just confused and is so deep in the cycle of abuse that she can’t see what’s wrong with it
I understand there’s a difference between age play and age regression
Childish things or any form of child imagery or role play should not be involved in anything sexual and only continues a cycle of abuse against women and girls

There are drag queen who definitely take things out of proportion but for the most part of what I’ve seen a lot of gay men who do drag struggle with gender dysphoria and use drag as an outlet to express that side of them .
Drag is very much an art form that anyone can participate in , it is not exclusive to gay men
For many gay men drag is more of an alter ego sort of thing because they do not go by women and make jokes while in drag about not being women
There is misogyny in the gay community but it is important to remember that a small group of bad people does not identify a whole community
Any good drag queen knows they got everything from a women, style, makeup, music everything
Of course there are drag queen who are misogynistic because there will always be men everywhere that are misogynistic
I don’t think many people are out here assuming women are acting how those obscene drag queens act plus in general as someone who has gone to drag shows and is active in the drag community a lot of those “drag queens” are very much outcasted
They definitely deserve to get hated on and removed of their platforms
What do y’all think?
It's weird that men do drag to make fun of gender but the gender they make fun of is......women? Wouldn't it make more sense to make fun of hyper-masculinist gender roles that marginalize gay men- wearing big fake muscles and acting like an egoic idiot? Having skits about men getting their ego bruised by irrelevant bullshit? Fighting over nonsense? Being pigs? People will be like, "Well, Drag Kings exist". First of all, I don't even think Drag Kings parody and lampoon masculinity the way drag queens do feminity. I haven't seen many drag kings (they're damn near non-existent/invisible) but when I do, it's never them acting like clown men. The portrayal seems..... reverent. There are some reverent Drag Queens too, like some queens would do a character like Beyonce or Diana Ross with great respect. But there also exists A LOT of clownery: drag characters as slutty, airhead, bimbos, with their abortions and tampons hanging out, making blow job face- that kinda thing. What a coincidence this portrayal of feminity is more popular/has more cultural influence than Drag Kings and that making fun of "gender" has manifested in just...relentlessly shitting on women. Surprise surprise.
I understand how a lot of women do not want womanhood and the being a woman be reduced to just our genitals and I also see how other women do not want womanhood to be defined by stereotypes or what society thinks a woman is and use biology as a way to define it,
However in my culture women have never been seen as weak and have never had negative stereotypes put on us so I think I do have a disconnect to women who define being a woman with our genitalia and tend to agree with the first more
Women in my culture are seen as strong warriors, protectors, nurtures etc so I never minded those things defining womanhood and femininity in my community I do however have a problem with how the patriarchy sees us

⭐️I have never claimed to be a rad fem (I have never claimed to be anything for that matter) or that I know everything about rad feminism because I don’t, and that was the purpose of that post, it’s really crazy how people will say they want to educate and liberate women while yelling and degrading me for simply not agreeing with them and proceed to do the same things men do, you are no better than a man, I’ve come to realize that this community strayed from its original purpose and roots and has been taken over by people who want to put in their own two cents and opinion, this community or at least a good portion of it seems like a very miserable community, I have meet a lot of rad fems who have common sense and realize that hate will get them nowhere and being rude to me won’t achieve anything, on the other hand majority of rad fems I’ve meet have misconstrued the movement from what I’ve read and put feelings over facts, I won’t interact to hate and only to genuine discussions ⭐️
My stance
⭐️anti trans is not allowed, yes I know there are trans people who have done bad things that’s the way people in every community work, there are bad people everywhere
⭐️women will never find liberation through sex but is is something we can enjoy, prostitution, porn, and other forms of sexual slavery will always be that sexual slavery and never liberating
⭐️this is a very small minority of rad fems that believe women cannot rape but yes women are capable of rape, towards men, children, and other women, rape is to force or coerce someone into committing sexual acts and or sexual relations
⭐️I do believe everyman contributes to the patriarchy and misogyny in some way
⭐️degrading me for my beliefs and not agreeing with you only makes you sound like a man sorry not sorry
These aren’t all my stances but some key ones
My take on “radical feminism” that nobody asked for
I myself consider myself leaning very into radical feminism but I see that terf ideologies seem to get mixed in more often than not (wanna make it clear I support trans rights)
1. A lot of rad fems think that all heterosexual sex is rape which is such an insane thing to do and implies that women do not have the power or capacity to consent to heterosexual sex
2. I do agree that we as woman will never find liberation through sex or sex work however rad fems do not realize that a lot of women fall into sex work and can not simply quit, I do not support the sex work industry but I support sex workers
3. To me it seems a lot of white women have overshadowed the movement and only mention woc when it’s used as an aha! moment against men and not with the intention of actually helping
4. Extreme transphobia, the main idea is that trans women rape women’s body’s and appropriating the body, my conflict with this is women are not their bodies and trans women have always felt like women since birth is the biological aspect that’s the problem
5. A lot of rad fems think a women choosing a certain lifestyle or religion is oppressive which again perpetuates the idea that women can not make a choice without a man or patriarchal idea being involved or a sense of brain washing
I think a lot of rad fems have lost sense of the movement and more times than often make themselves appear victim like and in a constant state of martyrdom, yes we women have suffered and continue to suffer and be oppressed but we can not let this weight break us down and make us point fingers at people (trans women and women who choose religion or certain life styles) who are not the root cause of our suffering
Please let me know your thoughts
Edit
⭐️Some people seem to be confused about this but i was born a woman and will always be a woman, it’s so crazy how other women will try to degrade me as if they were men for disagreeing with them or seeing things differently, i do not like liberal feminism and i never have, and i do not like to label my belief system and prefer to make a more individual standpoint than community⭐️
Another edit lol
