Sexualizing Joan of Arc is awful but why do men think that a woman doing something bad gives them the right to be misogynistic to them??? “A slut like yourself with a real woman like her” Am I the only one who thinks thats fucking insane. Men create the porn industry and then shame women for being in it.

When a cis man gets offended and says, "Not all men," it is generally in the context that he feels he is personally being attacked as an individual, and said to try and halt a conversation on sociopolitical issues that he is not generally a victim of (benefits from, even).

When transmascs get offended and say, "Not all men," it is generally in the context of them feeling erased from a sociopolitical perspective on the basis of their nuanced identity (not a cis man but not a woman-- or, in the case of some genderfluid / multigender individuals, not just a woman), and said to try and broaden a conversation on sociopolitical issues (because they are far deeper than just, "masculinity as a whole is evil, and men are trash") that they are being othered from, despite facing said sociopolitical issues as a victim of them.

Whether you acknowledge this or not, having the same exact negative reaction to both instances is a reflection of a cisgender-centric worldview.

friendly reminder that “boydyke” has existed for a very very very very long time and transmen, genderqueers, trans women, transfemmes and transmascs have been a part of the lesbian community for as long as its been around and we ain’t going no where!

Σε περιπτωση που δεν εχετε καταλαβει πού στέκομαι (λίγο δυσκολο, εδω που τα λεμε), ξαναποσταρω αυτο το αυτοκολλητο* που εχω σχεδιάσει. (*το οποιο υπαρχει ακομα και θα το ξαναβαλω στο Etsy οταν το ξανανοιξω, οταν τα καταφερω, ή αν το θελετε στειλτε μου μηνυμα). Δεν χωραει μισαλλοδοξος λογος στον φεμινισμο.

Sae a post about Joann fabrics closing down titled "rip Joanne" and got excited because I thought it was about jk Rowling.

You know that comic you drew probably really hurt Stonetosses feelings. As a fan of his I demanded you apologize. Take down the comic and replace it with one that sings him properly praise

If Mr. Tosser is so upset about it he can confront me himself instead of sending his little simpophants to yell at me for expressing my own right to freedom of speech. ( funny how that excuse seems to only apply to speech he happens to like but I digress)

As for the tossers preweciocous wittle fee fees, I'm not his mommy nor am I the femboy he hires to dress as a maid and fetishitically change his diaper( oops did that hurt his feefees too?) So it shouldn't be my job to provide a safe space for him just because his snowflake ass never learned to self regulate.

I replied to a post yesterday about 'radfems' talking about that radical isn't just for transphobic and or man hating women, because it's a very brought descriptor.

And my enteire coment chain was deleted/restricted even tho I didn't day anything wild? I just asked a question and then stated some facts? I am not entierly sure how this site works yet but I feel like someone shut my mouth against my will. I don't like it.

Hell, feminism as a whole is radical, for fucks sake.

radical

adjective

1.

(especially of change or action) relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough.

"a radical overhaul of the existing regulatory framework"

2.

advocating or based on thorough or complete political or social change; representing or supporting an extreme or progressive section of a political party.

Wanting to change and or abolish the partiarchy is, most of the time, radical. These 'gender criticals' are the opposite of radical since they pick and chose outdated features of the patriarchy like bioessentialism, genderessentialism, the binary myth, stuff like that and enforce them, aka try to stifle actual progress. Progress always starts as a radical idea.

For feminism that probably started with the then radical idea that women are, in fact, people. And should be treated as such. As women got more legal protections and rights, queer women entered the official conversation with the then radical idea, that they too, are people. And deserve rights. And so on.

The main radical idea now is probably that men need to be included in the conversation/ true intersectional feminism. Be it men/mascs in general or the conversations around trans men/mascs. And thats were the zeitgeist is at. Thats why those who focus on feminism but are stuck in their mindset/unable to evolve, tend to be terfs and stuff.

Intersectional feminism is oposed to bigotry and small mindedness, not being radical.

Now, some people don't stop at 'let it stay like it is' and actually want to revert backwards/against the direction of progress and if they go far enough, they could be right wing radical (yk, like fashists). To be fair, thats a lot of terfs. But that still doesnt mean they 'own' the term radical.

Aside from feminism, radical ideas are the cornerstone of all progress. ALL. I know public schools avoid the topic or tell you about "bad radicals" at best to scare you off, but that capitalist propaganda is something you should decode for yourself.

Yk, messages like "radical means so out there it's absurd" like.. bruh

Also, extremism and being radical are also two different things that many actors in out current climate wanna see muddled together. Learn the difference.

Moral of the story: men are and always have been included in real feminist conversations and feminism is inherently radical. Otherwise, what are you fighting for? What do you acomplish by NOT changing anything??

I had a Scabbers plush but I liberated him to become a Mornhold Packrat because fuck J.K. Rowling

fearing a group that can oppress you whenever they feel like it is valid. let's take black ppl that hate white people as an example. are they right? not exactly. some white ppl are cool. but do I fight black ppl that fear white ppl tho? ofc not. their fear makes sense.

and that's true for most oppressed groups.

hating men is not a political stance for most victims, it's simply fear. can that fear be turned into bigotry? yes. some white women fear black men more than they fear white men. the problem here is the racism though, not the fear of men.

I just wish american leftists would stop recycling their conservative talking points from their evangelical culture and just take "I hate men" at face value. it's simply fear. it's a wish not to have men friends or partners. it's avoiding men when they can. not oppressing men.

now, "I think all men should be exterminated" or "trans women are men and therefore dangerous" are definitely problems, but "I hate men" and "I fear men" are not. and ofc leftists go for the latter group, calling them terfs or transphobic when they aren't. and the reason leftists attack this group instead of terfs directly is because they're the easiest group to convince. if they feel guilty enough about hating men (which trust me, they heard this same argument thousands of times and they do feel guilty) you might convince them to hide their fear and create more guilt and anxiety in a group that is already vulnerable to toxic men.

hey maybe shut the fuck up about trans men! Maybe we don't want to be used for your shitty fucking takes on our sisters! Maybe I hope you break your dominate arm so you can't do shit for a few months!
