Day #47579 after Neil Gaiman allegations

Neil Gaiman still hasn't faced actual consequences. His fandom is still on. People preach to distinguish between author and art. Still no rape or death threats at his person. Still no lies spreaded on tabloids. No meme. He's not being constantly and obsessively slandered like he was a kind of common villain to be picked on.

I see. I understand. He has, in fact, only raped repeatedly a bunch of vulnerable women. I know it's not so important. It's not like he displeased a bunch of men who wants to enter women's locker room. That would have been worse.

I love being an adult human female

I hate when woke "feminists" ask "but isn't it more reductive to reduce women to their genitalia??" no. You only think that because you hold no respect for the female anatomy.

You think female anatomy is a hole for dick. You're reducing female anatomy to the vagina when it's so much more complex.

That why TIMS can never be women even post-op

You acquire a hole.

None of the other organs and basic functions that go with it.

None of the complex machinerie that goes into making women, women.

That's why even women who can't give birth are still women, they still have the other stuff.

You don't. Cope.

And yes no real lesbian will EVER be attracted to you.

Enjoy your bisexuals really I wish all of you happiness but leave lesbians out of it.

Sincerely, a real female homosexual that loves herself, loves women, and loves her anatomy.

if you cannot handle natal women talking about issues related to their oppression just because they don’t relate to you, then you don’t belong in women’s spaces in the first place.

The whole point of “intersectional feminism”was to lend a voice to black or brown or gay or disabled women, because the most horrific parts of female oppression usually happen when you are a minority within a minority.

But instead of taking the loudest megaphone from upper class white women and giving it to us, they gave it to upper class white men doing a bad impression of women. So now if you address the female part of female oppression, you get a thousand angry losers screeching at you to “educate yourself on intersectional feminism ” and to “read bell hooks” … I was forced to wear hijab and beaten for showing a strand of my hair dumbass, MY LIFE is a lesson on intersectional feminism 🙄

Listen. New or questioning trans girl. People will say that wearing a skirt and panties giving you a boner is proof that what you're doing is unnatural. This is untrue. You are experiencing the sense of liking how you look: something most cis people have. You have begun to enjoy your body, something that has been absent for years. Your first kiss ever also will feel/felt that much more powerful. It's a little lame but just enjoy it for now.

Margaret Atwood: femininity is a performance art course you will never graduate from and man is your audience

me: holy shit

the small but growing Mitski on my shoulder: femininity might be a performance art we will never be free of, but because you are aware of this, sometimes you will seek to perform only for yourself and no one else, and by that, we are starting to break free

me, sobbing: thank you, Mitski of my consciousness

Gender Troubles: The Butches

[430amalarm]

😭

[430amalarm]

It's so obvious now that any form of male criticism or actual feminist critic is called TERF rhetoric that that's always where this was going. Feminism is dead and her male child Queer Theory killed her. Typical.

What are your recent Girl Moments? part II r/mtf chooses to enlighten us with their Girl Experiences (here's the first part)

being a girl is feeling fat

being a girl is loving scented candles and Taylor Swift and if you enjoy those things, it should be obvious to you that you are a girl, because no man ever liked those things (and if he did, he was obviously secretly a woman in a man's body)

being a girl is shaving your legs

being a girl is having a skin care routine

being a girl is being concerned about your makeup after crying

being a girl is wearing lingerie and feeling sexy

being a girl is taking too long in the bathroom

being a girl is checking whether your nails are still perfect

being a girl is taking a lot of selfies

being a girl is crying a lot about stupid things and spending a lot of money on clothes

being a girl is going shopping

being a girl is owning lipstick

being a girl is taking selfies in makeup

but it's not about gender stereotypes in the end, right? gender stereotypes are not at all perpetuated by the trans community, right?

A lot of those women absolutely were racist but guess what... A lot of the black liberation figures were sexist. It's almost like oppression is normalized until it isn't and expecting women from the past to have the profound moral foresight to not echo the morals of the society around them to some degree is such an unrealistic expectation that it's actually - gasp - misogynistic.

So I constantly see people shit on second wave feminism, complain it was only for privileged women, was racist, etc etc. I think given everything going on, it’s a good reminder how much women’s rights and lives have changed thanks over the last 50 years thanks to second wave.

Do you like your right to abortion? 2nd wave feminism.

Do you sign legal or financial contracts as yourself without a man’s signature or special permission? 2nd wave feminism

Do you like being able to control your own money even if you’re married? 2nd wave feminism

That jobs can’t automatically disqualify women, require makeup or weight requirements, or fire you for becoming pregnant or being sexually active out of marriage.

Domestic abuse shelters, laws, and general awareness? No-blame and equal divorce? Equal rights to making decisions for your kids?

Women having a wide variety of jobs, being able to go to most colleges, get education, have sports teams, run in the freaking marathon?

Like no it wasn’t perfect, but most stuff that allows women to be independent financial and legal actors is thanks to second wave feminism. And that has helped all women a lot, to the point where I don’t think people can even conceive that it was different in our mother’s lifetimes.
