A reminder:

Just saw a radfem brag about cumming from jumping on dick and say she’d never give it up for anything. Day = ruined

That really is the key, isn't it? The simple inaction of not partnering with a man.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I see female blackpillers as true radical feminists. We fit the definition. I understand why y'all want nothing to do with feminism, I feel that way a lot too, but we are radical feminists just by existing. You don't need to do any activism for women, you don't need to read feminist literature written by male lovers, you don't even need to stop hating women. You just need to reject patriarchy in all its forms and live authentically. You are more radical than any anti-blackpill "radical feminist" could ever be.

In the midst of all this there comes a cry that woman is an individual, and that because she is an individual she must be set free. It would be nearer the truth to say that if she is an individual, she is free, and will act like those who are free.

between baby fever and boy crazy i am apparently missing out on some fundamental female experience

[artemissgroves-blog]

Every woman, of course, wishes to believe that the man in her life is an exceptional man, a man in a million, and that therefore she is the exceptional woman. But the odds are 99.9 to 0.1 against her (and .1 is probably a high estimate), because almost no man, no matter how gentle, no matter how liberal, could bear to reject the innumerable privileges (operant in very subtle as well as blatant ways in every sphere of his life) of being male, even if it were possible. A friend once wrote to me, "For me, the bottom line now with men is that any man (my brother, too, whom I love dearly) will sell me out if it's a choice between me and patriarchy, me and his male privilege."

- Sonia Johnson

Women feel that, without men, we will be alone and further isolated. We will have no one. We do not see relations with other women as an alternative. Without men, life isn’t worth living. This reveals the extent to which women experience our selves through men’s eyes. The more lost women feel without men, the more we have defined ourselves through our relationships with men and in relation to men.

Having most members of any oppressed group live one-on-one with their oppressors is probably the strongest possible arrangement for ensuring continued psychological enslavement. Whether the adult male is father or husband, the effect is the same: the woman is isolated from other women.

- Dee L. R. Graham

Men are thinking, writing, and creating, because women are pouring their energy into those men; women are not creating culture because they are occupied with love.

- Shulamith Firestone

Heterosexuality stands out as one of the last bastions of patriarchy where the notion of individual choice remains thoroughly unexamined. This leads to curious scenarios such as the phenomenon of feminists who might be critical of the notion of ‘choice’ and ‘agency’ in relation to oppressive systems such as pornography and prostitution, posting pictures of themselves in wedding dresses on social media, and defending their ‘choices’ as a purely private affair.

- Julia Long

Feminism is stifled by women with shifting priorities based on necessary compromises with the men in their lives. This will always create a burden for the woman to choose between her politics and the oppressor class she has an intimate connection to.

- Sustainable Separatist

Women’s magazines place young women’s ability to establish and maintain heterosexual dating relationships at the centre of women’s identities. Rhetoric surrounding the achievement of ‘wedded bliss’ and finding ‘Mr Right’ abounds, with men the ultimate source of ‘women’s fulfilment’.

- Kate Farhall

The whole world wants you to partner up with a man; the handful of us who want liberation don’t threaten your little domestic dream beyond asking you to self-reflect a bit and ponder your priorities. We’re not witches, and we’re not the monster under your bed either. We’re women alive leading fulfilling lives, and we’d love it if more women got to experience it. There’s no non-misogynistic man. Some do a good job of fooling the women around them, but none of them isn’t complicit in women’s oppression. Why do you feel such a need to put your life and your freedom in a man’s hand? Can’t you do things yourself instead of waiting for someone else’s input? At the end of the day it’s not about your feelings. It’s about doing something so things change instead of just waiting passively for men to deign to give us a few rights, it’s about women’s liberation. And that might very well be something you are not interested in, which is your prerogative, but it’s not my case.

The most exhilarating experience of my newly-divorced life was the discovery that I could be whole and happy without a man; that the fierce brainwashing to the contrary, which I’d sustained all my life, was not only composed of lies from start to finish, but was a total reversal of the truth: it’s not women who need men, but men who need women.

- Sonia Johnson

I don’t think we need to argue or defend female separatism. We just have to build it. Women who are able to speak against it obviously see no benefit in joining, so they can stay as they are. But they can’t control what we do. They can go on and on about how absolutely dreadful it would be, while we’re already building our houses and planting our gardens and having immense joy at the freedom and life. Separatism proves its points by existing and showing what it really is. Don’t waste energy telling people how stupid they are for fighting you about it, come learn all about berries and sustainable permaculture with us.

- Balkan Radfem

Friends and enemies will be clearly lined up, and the friends will be real friends and the enemies unable to hide behind phony benevolence — nor will we have to toady to them. An end to this constant remaking of ourselves according to what the male ego demands! Let us be ourselves and good riddance to those who are then repulsed by us!

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

can't believe radblr has so many defending partnering up with males and not following rad fem principles, so much hypocrisy. Billions of humans and so few wanting freedom for themselves and others, just cage rattling. I disagree with the black pill vocabulary used but women aren't innocent in perpetuating patriarchy at every level. Is there any black pill or serious radfem movement that isn't so naive? your blog is consistent and so is some of lesbian radfem but why it's so few

Signed off 100%. I couldn't tell you why. People are just content with the status quo, even if they say they're not. People like to think that going against the grain is soooo hard, but I really don't think it is. Which just makes the behavior of other people so baffling. It's not like I'm screaming crying throwing up wanting to kill myself because I don't have a male and don't have kids and aren't performing femininity. So walking through the world is like being surrounded by aliens because why are y'all acting like this?

[artemissgroves-blog]

the patriarchy is so mask off right now it's actually fucking insane.

but when radfems say intercourse is a politicized act of aggression and dominance practiced on women by men to reaffirm patriarchy in the private and interpersonal, we're "crazy."

what terfs dont seem to understand is that porn is baked into queer history, and human history for that matter. like you cannot deny people porn without denying them humanity and identity, its that simple. so many trans women wouldnt even know they were women without yuri or hentai

i know I've been saying this for months, but soon it's gonna start clicking for y'all that the end goal of cuts to American social safety nets (medicare, medicaid, SNAP, EBT, WIC, etc) is to force women into total economic reliance on men, especially poor women. Sure, the wealthy want poor men to be wage-slaves pretty badly, too, but the real goal is a total dismantling of women's liberation

[artemissgroves-blog]

Blaming women for any part of their oppression is misogynistic. Yes women are the guard dogs of the patriarchy, but because their life is on the line if they don't
