adding an insane amount of people as if adding "transphobic" is going to stop transphobic people to interact w you 😭

i said this on my account that got nuked but it never ceases to amaze me how people will have a dni list longer than a college essay and can't be bothered to slip misogynists in there

[pialvs]

I'll stop saying faggot when gay men stop saying "bitch" and "cunt" because they think their love of men somehow gives them proximity to women

[pialvs]

THIS is why I stand with the idea that radical feminism is the only one that resonates with "3rd world" struggles.

Btw I hate that most communist men will have empathy for EVERYONE but women

Anytime a dude makes communism his entire personality, it's usually to hide the fact that he comes from an oppressor background. You can claim to be an atheist and a leftist in India, but that doesn’t change the fact that you still enjoy gender and caste privileges in society. This communism/leftism is often limited to online spaces - irl, they pass as oppressors, rarely speaking up when we face discrimination because doing so would threaten their privilege. Dalits, Women, Muslims and Queer folks rarely have the luxury of hiding their identities in public.

As for misogyny, most people and spaces fail to acknowledge or even care about it because they are dominated by men. But the truth is, even the most marginalized man in this country still gets to oppress or exploit a woman.

Marginalized women don’t just face discrimination from men at the top of this made-up hierarchy, they also experience it from uc/Hindu women (in the case of Dalit and Muslim women), straight women (in the case of queer women), and men within their own communities.

But ofc if you try telling a dude this, all you're going to get is -

FINALLY someone mentions the breakfast club, i hate that movie, it perpetuates a lot of harmful ideas about UNDERAGE women

I just saw one of the many ways that rape culture is subtley normalized in media.

I won't say what show I was watching because I don't want any spoilers, but the main character is a shifty guy who's meant to have a good heart regardless, and we're meant to sympathize strongly with him. He tricked a drunk woman into having sex with him by telling her a direct lie about who he was. She woke up horrified at being lied to and he went through his morning routine undisturbed by her outrage or her abrupt departure. The writers try to make it an amusing and light-hearted situation, like, "Boys will be boys! What a scoundrel, how funny, right?"

It isn't funny. It's sexual assault.

Imagine being the sort of "person" who lies to someone in order to get them to sleep with you with the understanding that they wouldn't come near you if you were honest about yourself; knowing that you were subverting their right to be selective about sexual partners and treating them like an object for your use rather than a human being who has the right to decide who has access to their bodies. Yet this is what this man did, and the show just moved on like it was no big deal instead of addressing what it actually was: a sign of a soulless, exploitative sexual predator, and someone no one should be sympathizing with.

There are SO many examples of this. Did anyone ever see those dumbass movies from the early 2000's, Superbad and 40-Year Old Virgin? The former is entirely about two teenage moids trying to get their classmates drunk so they'll be incapacitated enough to have sex with them, fully acknowledging that the girls would regard it as a mistake...

"𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝗮���� '𝗔𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗻, 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁-𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝘆? ' 𝗪𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲!"

The latter is about a man getting advice as to how to manipulate women into sex, which in one scene involves targeting women who are so inebriated that they're stumbling out of the bar. The men in the movie compare "drunk bitches" to gazelles and themselves to tigers, openly admitting that they're predators.

"𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘀. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗮 𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗮 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲? 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻, 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗗𝗡𝗔, 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 "𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲." 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗻𝗼��, 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝘀 "𝗧𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗯*𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀."

This all plants the idea that there is nothing serious about men preying on women; that it's even funny in it's own way. A lot of times, these men even have their happily ever after (or something closely resembling it) with the woman they preyed upon. I'm not even 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 to think of examples and tons of them are crashing down on me. Another is the Breakast Club, where John Bender insulted Claire the entire time, made her cry, attempted to fucking 𝘴𝘦𝘹𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘶𝘭𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 under the table...

And yet at the end she kisses him multiple times and gives him her diamond earring.

Why? WHY? It makes me want to scream, cry, and vomit! I feel such despair at all of this because it's EVERYWHERE. The message of "Yeah just let men do what they want to you okay, it's normal, dont be such an uptight bitch, it's just what guys do and it's not a big deal" is all over the place and it's no wonder women have such a low standard for decent behavior from males. It's intentional. You have a million shitbag males in movies and shows who you're told to like and to root for while they abuse women who adore them at the end, after all they've done to them. Why would you not believe this is all normal when you're seeing it wherever you turn?

Sometimes it feels like such a huge problem, so all-pervasive, that I just want to throw in the towel. But ALL through my most impressionable years, no one pointed out any of this to me. No one said, "Look at what they're trying to make you believe is normal. Isn't that disgusting and pathetic?" 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 talks about it, and I wish someone had! So if even ONE woman becomes more vigilant about the messages she's being fed through these storylines, and the way these situations are portrayed as normal, funny or charming, and these characters as "good guys" when actually they are 𝘴𝘦𝘹𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘴 and NONE of this is normal or okay...

Then it was worth writing a post about.

I recently saw a tiktok of a transgender woman with the following text:

"Okay so if y'all say trans people need to use the bathroom of their biological sex, how am I supposed to use the men's washroom... genuine question"

As she showed herself, showing her outfit and her face. She's making clear that if someone sees her, they are going to assume she is not transgender.

The problem here is that their activism constantly perpetuates gender roles, why because you look more "like a woman, " it becomes unquestionable that you can enter a women's bathroom.

I noticed that, at the same time, that logical is not beneficial to other transgender people. When you say that no one would think that you are transgender because you look more "feminine," the rest of transgender people that don't fit in those norms are not as unquestionable as you because you sticked to gender roles more? So their activism is not only sexist, but also falls into transphobia, and by themselves ??

english is not my 1st language so sorry if this doesn't make any sense

‘do you have a source’ and its just the lived female experience.

[pialvs]

the whole "killing people, it's okay if you're a white men" that's been going around with the Luigi Mangione stuff, It's just another liberal way to prevent the people from class consciousness and solidarity. Yeah, we know he has his privileges as a rich white guy, but every time I see liberals pointing it, I just hear another try to make the people hate each other.

“Listen to trans people” bro I did now I’m a terf

[pialvs]

you must be really chronically online to talk about radical feminism as a "pseudo-facist" (what does thay even mean? not-a-facist??? what is op trying to say) ideology

Radical feminism is a pseudo-fascist ideology. It is festered on hatred and disgust at the other, leading to extreme hatred of them beyond justified contempt. They see the other as causing most, if not all, of their problems. While they do not hold the ideological building blocks of fascism, they certainly carry similar rhetoric and are built upon the same foundations, hence pseudo-fascism.

South Korea is a US military base and two big companies hidden in a big coat pretending to be a country

[pialvs]

The US suffering the consequences of lacking an anticapitalist left.

The whole Luigi Mangione and many other activist actions will, sadly, achieve very little since the US lacks of an anticapitalist left. They barely have a left.

Their old political system is slowly destroying itself and its people. The state is not working for the people, but for the big companies that keep exploiting the american workers.

As we've seen through history, those companies are experts in controlling the people's perception of reality, and I know they will soon find a way to change the media focus, so the health care system will be the same.

I hope that this time, the american worker will be aware of the amount of propaganda they have been exposed to and truly organize for a change. The pigs will always say that violence is never the answer while using violence against us.

Most male stem teachers are like, "I know women are bad at chem/bio/physics/math/etc because I fail them just as I see them enter the classroom"

I hate choice based feminism, I'm not going to support your choice if it is a patriarchal one 👅

no offense, cause i know people on this site love this cute & relatable brand of feminism but, this does nothing lol. you can’t change a standard if you don’t challenge it. the point of feminism is to be critical not to conform. it’s not supposed to be easy to swallow.

i can’t believe that me talking about my female body is a “transphobic dog whistle”
