it 2017: onion headlines

So who here didn’t even start hating men for what men actually did to them? I don’t know when exactly it started for me, but the inaction of “good” men and their behavior in general is really what did it. Not the abuse, even though I see this brought up all the time as a derail.

it’s interesting how if you call a woman a bitch you’re usually saying she’s mean, maybe aggressive

but if you call a guy a bitch you’re usually saying he’s weak and easily dominated

and to make someone or something YOUR bitch is to conquer and impose your will

there’s a lot going on with typically gendered insults that we don’t really take the time to notice i think

I’m watching a thing about a woman who was mauled by a mountain lion and it’s pissing me off because this old man doctor keeps saying “it’s such a pity, she’s so beautiful” and “i just worry she won’t be as pretty” and like DUDE i am 100% sure that the only thing this woman is worried about is NOT DYING, not whatever gender stereotypes you’ve cooked up for her.

fuck off trans

I'm tired of it. wtf transwoman are real woman, dear? How are you feel that you are woman if you was born man? Did you suddenly feel that you have XX chromosomes? Did you suddenly feel that you should have your menstruation? Did you suddenly feel a real vagina instead of a penis?

or

or did you suddenly realize that you want to put on makeup, wear dresses, to be fragile and delicate and to be attractive to men or lesbians?

it doesn't make you a woman, you are still a man. woman is NOT all this garbage of the female gender socialization

To the TERFs I’m currently “fighting” on Twitter,

“TERF” is not an insult. “TERF” means “Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist”. By you, a feminist, claiming that “TERF” is a slur towards women who don’t accept “men” invading their spaces, you are calling trans women men, meaning you are being trans exclusionary and radical. Which makes you a trans exclusionary radical feminist, aka a TERF.

“Cis” is not a misogynistic box used to keep women in their places. “Cis” is the scientific and correct label for someone who identifies as they were born - a woman who is afab, a man who is amab, etc. By calling you “cis”, I am not being misogynistic - I am being truthful. It wouldn’t offend me if you called me trans, because that’s what I am. If you are a binary woman who was born entirely afab, then you are, by definition, cis.

Me calling you a cis TERF isn’t me being misogynistic. It’s me labelling you as exactly what you are. It would be no different if you called me a trans feminist, because that’s what I am.

me: gender is an oppressive structure and as a female I feel rightfully able to criticise the structure that disadvantages me from birth

You: Patriarchy hurts men too! We need to include men in our feminism!

Me, an intellectual: Patriarchy was created by men and for the benefit of men. Maybe they are negatively affected in some ways, but the multitude of ways in which they benefit from patriarchy certainly outweighs these negatives. Furthermore, it's not our responsibility to address men's problems which they created for themselves and should fix themselves. It is within our rights to create a movement exclusively for women's liberation and to suggest otherwise is frankly misogynistic.
