One of the reasons why women were forbidden from going outside under patriarchy was not to just ensure that women stay loyal, modest or the honour culture. It was also to prevent sisterhood among women because sisterhood is very important, it's a very powerful tool, the restrictions on women's freedom to the point of their own circles and friends was to prevent women from realising their capability. It was to abuse women and isolate them from their families. It was to reduce women to f*** toys and to incubators. Everybody recognises that. Sisterhood is detrimental to patriarchy.

I was never raped, but same thoughts. I got traumatized by my dad's treatment of my mom and by my classpeers.

thanks to my rapist I will never have a normal sex life. i will forever be disgusted with my body, and by the thought of having sex. the thought of having sex with men actually makes me want to die a little bit. i don’t know if i’m completely asexual now, or if i’m just heavily traumatized. probably both.

the reason i make a point to say this is because it has ultimately influenced a lot of my viewpoints on sexuality. i began studying radical feminism mostly because i was already anti-pornography, but my own trauma now reinforces my ideals.

and so to see people fetishizing rape pisses me off. stop trivializing rape. it kills, and it ruins people’s lives.

rape is terrorism on women.

Sigh... majority of men are pedophiles. Why the fuck are they hiding in the closet and not admitting to their real sex orientation for so long.

Modern beauty standards ARE pedophilic.

Short? Petite? Shaved hairless? Feminine? Innocent? High voice?

That’s just a child. They beauty standard is literally a tall child.

1000%. Men are pedophiles and opportunistic rapists, but they’ll never admit it.

[progfanandradfem]

I think men want to control js so badly because we are ones bearing children and controlling their ability to have sex.

They are fucking pathetic assholes.

how are women facing the brunt of idealistic beauty standards when most males literally age like hotdog water LMAO 😭 like a part of nearly all males lives is just… having all their hair fall out?? or at the very least having a noticeably thinning/receding hairline?? but girls are taught from a young age that they need to shave their entire bodies and still look prepubescent to be seen as attractive and worthy of respect. and people (men and like.. libfems) will still say that this isn’t an unsustainable lifestyle for most women.

all humans including female humans, shocker, are mammals. body hair growth is a natural process for mammals. why it’s considered “ugly” or “gross” for women to not shave (when that’s a nonaction) i will never understand.

it just deeply upsets me that women are inculcated into this capitalistic and misogynistic performance of femininity at such a young age. what’s the male counterpart? i literally can’t think of one. men are just allowed to exist in their natural state. but women have to do all this extra stuff (such as shaving, wearing makeup, doing their nails, getting their hair done, etc) to be seen as attractive to men. as if a woman’s natural state of being is ugly or something. ૮ – ﻌ–ა

and the fact that support for the cosmetic industry exists across the board regardless of political perspective (ie: people on both the right and left defending it and encouraging it), goes to show that nothing will stop men from trying to influence how women see themselves.

it’s pedophilic and weird.

OH NO.

This fucking screams "conversion therapy aimed at gays and lesbians"!

Guys I’m starting to think that they don’t just wanna piss…

My experiences with a groomer when I was 13. I'm afraid that many men are the same scrotes like him.

Men masturbate to shit that would be considered an actual fucking crime in literally any other context outside of porn and then act like that has no influence whatsoever on how they view and interact with women.

[progfanandradfem]

Remember this!

the conservative understanding of sex and gender is that the sex determines your role in society, personality, preferences etc. so girl = likes pink

the queer understanding of sex and gender is that your personality and preferences determine what gender you are. so likes pink = girl

the radical understanding of sex and gender is that gender is made up and forced upon you from birth based on sex, but tells nothing of who you are. so likes pink = human

My literal asshole dad.

m*n raising little girls: well how is she going to cook and clean and take care of children and do chores endlessly and serve her husband, if she's already acting disobedient now? I need to get her in order immediately. Also she should be practicing all that by being in servitude to me at all times. Any aggression towards her is appropriate.

m*n raising little boys: well, he's going to figure out easily how to be authoritative and violent towards his wife and children <3 already doing so well <3 show them who's the boss

This

i wish every woman could experience being in a true female only space at least once. a space away from men in a secluded area. cooking, eating, dancing, creating, swimming, existing only among women. no need for make up, clothing that’s not comfortable and practical, no bras, no shaving, no artificial femininity. if you wanna walk around naked you can be, no one’s gonna stare at you, no fear of a man sitting in the bush filming or masturbating. no body shaming or pointing out any part of your body. no pressure to look perfect. no need to look perfect. just existing and being enough, living without fear and in harmony with our bodies and nature.

I'm from Poland and I love you for this post!

I gotta say that USA radfems are incredibly annoying at times,especially when they shut down EU women's concerns about mass illegal immigration coming from muslim countries.

They get shocked when you dare to point that maybe,just maybe,letting thousands of lone,undocumented african men with nothing to lose in western countries might have disastrous outcomes for local women. It is a taboo subject for them and they instantly scream racism.

Please read carefully: not wanting men who come from insanely misogynistic cultures in your country is NOT RACIST.

You are being blinded by their refugee status and race when talking about the issue. Sorry to burst your bubble... But male refugees,despite what they might have been through,are not less misogynistic and can still commit atrocities against women. It's their culture,polar opposite to western values,that make them act the way they do.

Brown men molesting/raping/murdering women/girls in their countries: Despicable and condemned

Same brown men come to western countries and molest/rape/murder local women/girls: "Uhm actually it doesn't happen as often for me to care,white men still abuse their women more,what about white men and the shit THEY do?,you are pearl-clutching,this is racist/discriminatory,colonialism rants...etc"

Excuse me,I don't see you making any accusations to brown women calling out white men... So why do you react differently when a white woman shares her negative experiences about brown men? Is it because she is white and "privileged"? Therefore her story must be exaggerated and not that big of a deal? I genuinely want a good reason as to why our concerns aren't valid and we shouldn't talk about it.

EU women already have to deal with their sexist murderous men,why would you want to make the number of rapists/drug dealers/murderers skyrocket by importing more? Making their lives more unsafe than they already are? (If we could kick out all misogynistic men it would be sweet but we cannot 100% live in a feminist utopia so stopping the ones coming is more attainable)

If you had the chance to filter out and stop the import of potentially misogynistic men into your country,wouldn't you do it? Not to mention the threat of terrorism some of these men bring.

And no,I don't think reparations for past colonialism justify what EU women are going through right now. Nothing does. Is the subjugation of a "few" european women every year the right price to pay for reparations?

American radfems' sympathy for women is often selective. I mean,it's understandable given how focused americans are about race and minorities,they put it above anything else.

This kind of reaction is frankly disappointing and does nothing but divide when we should be supporting each other,despite of our status.

Can you even call yourself a feminist if your first concern is what it might mean for that demographic of men if women called them out? (Ofc it depends on the context but we're talking about gang rapes and stabbings here...)

"ALL men are bad and they should be called out for their behavior"

*Large demographic of men that is not white gets called out for their actions*

"GASP,not THOSE men!! 😟 how could you?!" *immediately starts deviating and sugarcoating their misogyny*

Here's my other take about this white vs brown man issue:

I'm going to provide as many cases I can (both refugee on western woman violence and brown men killing their wives/daughters once they bring them to western countries),then I will finally shut up about it.

True

Every "Fuck TERFs" post written by a man reads the same as a blackpill incel rant, but every "TERFs are NOT welcome" post written by a women reads the same as a deeply religious mom rebuking you in the name of Jesus Christ.

lately i've been doing a lot of thinking about why women are the main supporters of transgenderism, and i think i've boiled it down to three main elements

1. women are socialised to be more accommodating and accepting of uncomfortable situations than men are. this has been discussed at length in the radical feminist tradition and the gender critical movement, but it bears reiterating. women are taught from early childhood to disbelieve their feelings of fear, anger and humiliation for the benefit of men.

2. i'd argue that the description of physical dysphoria is one that almost all women empathise with, because of how alienated women are from their bodies by society, in a way most men are not. even women who would say they are comfortable with their bodies have complicated feelings about having a female body in our society, even if they don't have the framework to express it. therefore, when women are confronted with men who make claims about sex dysphoria, they relate and empathise and some can draw conclusions that this distress aligns them with femaleness (i would argue that all women experience sex dysphoria in a misogynist society like ours but i digress). i think there many women also find solace in the idea that someone else could possibly have their physical distress alleviated and want to believe it is possible to find a solution to it.

In other words, “The body has been made so problematic for women that it has often seemed easier to shrug it off and travel as a disembodied spirit.” - Adrienne Rich

3. women want to believe that male oppression and men aren't really that bad. to comprehend the scale of women's oppression, and to fully understand that the men you know and love are as complicit in it as any other, feels like balancing on the brink of madness. women are desperate for evidence that things aren't as bad as they suspect.

Andrea Dworkin says it best: “Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships.”

that is part of the allure of the trans movement for these women in denial. breaking down the categories of male and female, and denying the social dynamics therein, means they don't have to grapple with the ugliness of misogyny.

anyone else have thoughts on this? i'd be keen to hear if others on radblr think

patriarchy has brainwashed women to believe that they are supposed to associate love with pain, sex with pain, beauty with pain and not treated with basic human decency, hence why so many of them put themselves down, even take pride in their pain

[progfanandradfem]

Stop hating your womb and making caricatures of your female anatomy being an angry or evil thing that only wants you to be pregnant or bring you pain and start hating:

• The medical industry for ignoring women’s pain and suffering for generations, not putting the same effort into researching the female body as it does male bodies, often acting as though women are simply small men

• Men in history who mass-slaughtered female medical practitioners and midwives, calling their research into women’s health witchcraft

• Capitalism and a male-orientated workforce and education system that fails to consider and factor women’s needs into it’s demand

• Patriarchal disgust for women’s bodies and their functions

• The sexualisation and shame of female bodies to the point where young women cannot seek help for their issues from caregivers/doctors/parents without fear and embarrassment

Yes, periods are inconvenient and often painful, but before you get frustrated with your body, demonising and blaming it, realise it would not be the way it is if not for a mass-scale medical and scientific negligence of women’s issues. Your body does not hate you- patriarchy does. Aim your energy and efforts there.

gender is a conservative-made social construct btw. It has no purpose besides keeping women subordinate and dependant and making sure men join the military. It’s not an identity, it’s a method of oppression, and you are falling for it head over heels.

makeup and breast augmentation, high heels and false eyelashes aren’t “gender affirming “care””, they’re a product of capitalism that targets women, designed to make you feel ugly without them and become reliant on the industry.

Gender ideology is conservative and “gender affirming care” is capitalist. You aren’t a leftist or a communist.

Gender and capitalism doesn’t care if you’re born with a penis and doing these things, it profits just the same.

This.

I find it endlessly amusing that men are so confused, affronted, and concerned about the birth rates and marriage rates declining globally and then they behave like subhuman creatures. There are sex toys now that allow men to simulate fucking the decapitated head of a woman. Men cannot handle rejection and frequently become violent. Men are responsible for 75% of crime and 98% of sex crimes. Pornography has become increasingly violent and stomach-turning. Turns out when you act like an animal and treat women like a commodity, they don't wanna fuck you OR chain themselves to you and make themselves your legal property! Isn't that fun
