“girls support girls” no. girls protect girls. I could hate a girl to death and I still wouldn’t take my eyes off her drink at a party, I could hate her like she was the devil but still I wouldn’t make her go back to a man that was beating her.

In World War II, Nazi Germany established brothels in the concentration camps (Lagerbordell, Sonderbauten or Freudenabteilungen "Joy Divisions") to increase productivity among male inmates.
In the end, the camp brothels did not produce any noticeable increase in the prisoners' productivity levels, but instead, created a market for coupons among the camp VIPs.
Here's a few of the locations where this happened:
Mauthausen/Gusen, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Neuengamme, Dachau, Dora-Mittelbau, Sachsenhausen, FlossenbĂŒrg and others
The women forced into these brothels came mainly from the women-only RavensbrĂŒck concentration camp, except for Auschwitz, which "employed" its own prisoners.
In combination with the German military brothels in World War II, it is estimated that at least 34,140 female inmates were forced into sexual slavery during the Third Reich.
The brothels form the subject of "Das KZ Bordell" (The Concentration Camp Brothel) by Robert Sommer, a book that has been hailed as the first comprehensive account of a little known chapter of Nazi oppression in World War Two.
It explores the origins, structure and impact of the "Sonderbauten" (special buildings) run by Heinrich Himmler's SS in Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe.
"In the collective memory and written history of World War Two, the camp brothels were for a long time taboo," the 35-year-old Berliner told Reuters. "The former prisoners didn't want to talk about it: it was a difficult subject to handle."
"It didn't fit so easily into the postwar image of the concentration camps as monuments to suffering."
According to concentration camp survivors the women in those brothels were replaced every 6 months and the women who got replaced were killed in gas chambers.
It is important to note that we distinctively speak of sexual slavery here and of rape.
I wanted to point this out especially because I have been seeing liberal feminists talking about this topic, calling it "forced sex-work", "forced sex-labour" etc.
It is beyond disrespectful to call these female victims "sex-workers" or "employees" when their sexuality was brutally exploited, their diginities taken, their health was sacrificed, they were raped repeatedly and then executed after 6 months, even though they were promised to be released after those months. But those promises of course were never honored.
Liberal feminism and radical feminism differs a lot when it comes to views on the topic of prostitution but this does NOT excuse labeling victims of abuse and rape as "sex-workers" or calling their suffering "forced sex-labour."

Maybe opinions about Israel and Palestine?
This topic is a bit too complex to fit in a poll but I'll do my best
Thank you for the question Nonnette!

“We survive through amnesia, by being unable to remember what happened to us. We survive by not remembering the name of the woman who was in the newspaper yesterday, who was walking some where and was missing. What was her name? There are too many of them. I am sick to death of not being able to remember the names.”
Life and Death, Andrea Dworkin

I find it really upsetting when leftists sexualize Abby Shapiro for having big boobs. Like Vaush going on about how she should show off her cleavage on twitch for money or how Xanderhal kept going on about her "milkers" in his streams about her. Like she's a judgemental self righteous douche* but she makes it a point that she does not want to be sexualized, so antagonistically mocking her and pushing that boundary just to spite her is incredibly misogynistic. Because what's funny about it? The joke is just "LMAO woman doesn't like being sexualized and I'm doing it anyways!!XD" it just cements the fact that a lot of left wing people only care about progressive values so long as they can weaponize it. It's just really fucking disheartening. Just because a woman is conservative does not give you a free pass to sexually harass and objectify her. Focus on her shitty politics, not her body.

When we see a terf we block and don’t engage. In theory that’s great - leaves them without an audience, saves us from accidentally helping them recruit.
In practice things are less than optimal. You see some feminism 101 take like “bitch is a slur” and your hackles go up. Go on OP’s blog and there’s a bunch of posts about women’s rights. That could be a red flag - I don’t have all day to vet this person. Better not reblog, just to be safe.
What is the effect on the tumblr ecosystem? Feminist posts with any teeth at all can never go viral in this atmosphere! Any discussion of surrogacy more nuanced than “it is an individual choice” will get no engagement; only the most milquetoast sentiments can prevail.
I don’t have a solution. I just want to point out that the atmosphere of (justified) paranoia has set feminism on this website back 20 years.

This is someone dying while having an MRI scan. Before you die, your brain releases tons and tons of endorphins that make you feel a range of emotions. Tragically beautiful.

“Don’t judge a person by their looks” but also I did not dye and cut my hair and sew on all these patches and studs and stick all these safety pins and button pins in my jacket and scuff up my boots and rip my jeans and sit through getting these tattoos/piercings for you to not assume my gender and sexuality. I’m queer.

I’m so sick of seeing videos and posts of a bunch of privileged college students who decided to make a geopolitical conflict their whole personality and who view college as a LARPing opportunity instead of fucking school. You just know they wouldn’t be screaming about this if they had any actual hobbies or any ideology besides what’s popular online and what pisses off their parents. It’s all about a radikewl aesthetic while affecting absolutely nothing in the real world. And now with Columbia University’s rabbi urging Jewish students to stay away from campus because it’s unsafe, what the fuck have these LARPers done other than harass Jews off campus instead of going to class in their “Gaza solidarity encampment” (AKA their excuse to skip class and not do assignments)? People in Gaza are still hungry and displaced, Hamas still has hostages, but don’t worry, guys! Students at Columbia are being antisemitic by praising 10/7 and cosplaying anarchy instead of going to class “for Palestine”!
They’re just insufferable, and their First Amendment rights don’t exempt them from the rest of us judging them for their actions

Seems like everyone on radblr is posting about Taylor Swift. It's all love or hate for the new album or anger about her flights or gaybaiting or gender theories. I haven't seen you post about her so which are you?
i'm in whichever category simply does not give a shit about having any strong opinion on this woman. I think I've reblogged something about the environmental impact of her flights at some point, but I hid her name from my dash because, again, I simply do not give enough of a shit to bother defending or accusing or speculating about her. not a swiftie or a hater or anything else other than entirely apathetic towards her with a dash of mild annoyance at how unavoidably omnipresent she is.
though this ask inspired me:
no nuance, choose what fits you most and suck it up
