I really fucking hope that I speak for every radfem in the community when I say that we don’t support pedophiles here. You’re not welcome here. Get the fuck out and leave the community alone, it’s no fucking secret that there’s a lot of young radfems here and you’re not “non offending” if you choose to interact with minors while labeling yourself a “map”.

I still don’t think female and male are opposite sexes. They are definitely two different, distinct sexes. That’s biology. But opposite? That’s cultural. That’s patriarchal. That’s an interpretation of facts, facts arranged into a hierarchy and forced into dualisms. To call female and male opposites is to gender biology. It reeks of Descartian and Freudian thought, but it has as little to do with reality as the trope that somehow positions cats and dogs as each others’ opposites.

imagine raising little girls in a women only environment. they would be free to explore around the land and walk around at night without fear of men.

Update: The new meat cutter that they hired never was actually transferred, but he is getting fired within the next few weeks because (surprise) he doesn’t know what he’s doing. When I asked my manager if I could perhaps step up into that position, he told me he’d consider it. They hired another new guy, his first day is the other guys last. This new guy has even less experience than the inexperienced bonehead he’s taking over for. Wtf.

So, I’m a female butcher, and I’m the only female that works there. Here’s what I‘ve noticed about it since I’ve started.

I’ve been there for a few months. I’m baffled at how I’ve been treated in the short amount of time that I’ve worked there.

To begin with the obvious, I get treated differently by my coworkers. Sometimes its “good” different (good being in quotations because its still reinforcing male superiority), but mostly its bad. When I’m doing a task, or ask for help since I’m still new, instead of just telling me what to do or showing me what to do they swoop in to “save the day” and just take over instead. I can’t get the right training when they do this, and have gotten in trouble because I didn’t do something right because I was never actually shown, just “rescued”. I’ve noticed whenever I walk into work in my butchers coat and everything, everyone tends to fall silent as if I shouldn’t be a part of what they’re talking about. Not like I’d want to be, they usually only talk about how they’d “bang” the women customers we deal with, but still, they all stop talking as soon as I walk in. It makes me feel as if I’m interrupting, and makes me feel guilty and like I’m an annoyance. Of course, they comment about the fact that I’m a woman. My first day there one of them said “it’s nice to finally have some eye candy around here,” I’ve been hit on by them, asked for sex, given phone numbers… and I’m just talking coworkers here. My boss even treats me differently because I’m a woman, and some of my coworkers have said things about how I get special treatment from him just because I’m a woman and even resent me because of it.

The customers are honestly just as appalling as my coworkers. I’ve had men straight up refuse to do business with me, that I instead get a man to handle it for them. One even said “and, you’re not even pretty” as he took his meat and left. I’m just trying to do my job sir, I’m not here to look pretty. On the contrary, I had a man tell me it was incredibly hot that I could skin an entire filet of salmon, and even mentioned that I was giving him a hard on because of that. As soon as he left, one of my coworkers came up and said he agreed and that he was glad he had to wear the apron over his coat because it “kept the monster at bay”. Even other women treat me differently. I had a woman say to me something like “oh honey, why are you doing a mans job?”

That’s just the surface stuff. When I applied for my job, I applied for a full time meat cutter. I grew up on a meat farm, and was taught how to hunt and fish, so I had some prior experience (though not professional). When I was in the interview, I was told that right now they didn’t have the payroll to train a new meat cutter, and that it was hard that time of year (~ September or October) to train a new meat cutter because of the upcoming holidays of Christmas and Thanksgiving making us really busy. Okay, whatever, it didn’t really phase me, and I took the job of just a regular first level butcher. I understood that it would be hard to train me at that time of year. A week later, there was a new guy there, training as a meat cutter. He had less experience than me, and he’s making $3 more an hour and working full time hours and getting the benefits of the job I applied for and didn’t get. I don’t even get benefits because I’m part time!! I’m being denied benefits because I’m a woman! When I confronted my manager about it, he told me it’s because the trainee was going to be transferred to a different location soon, becoming someone else’s problem. Well, months later, he’s still here.

I’m already looking for a new job, but everywhere I go where I apply for a higher position, I’m given base level and a man who’s less qualified is usually hired in the position I applied for instead. What is up with jobs doing this these days? anyone else notice that?

Right??? I think it’s fun for them to make it unbearable for us. I can’t imagine how the place was before I got there, especially for the female customers. Deeply upsetting that some of them are even on the misogynistic side of things. It just absolutely breaks my heart that they’re just okay with not only dealing with this stuff, but enforcing it against other women. It’s sickening!

having your tinder set to girls only is like: *swipes left on a man* *swipes left on couple looking for a third* *swipes left on a girl whose bio says ‘not gay just looking for friends* *swipes left on a couple looking for a third* *finds someone you think is cute and it turns out she’s married but bicurious and looking for someone to hook up with* * swipes left on a couple looking for a third* *actually finds someone not weird and you match but then neither of you ever message the other*

What is radfem?? Sorry I'm dumb

"Radical feminism is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical reordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts. Radical feminists view society as fundamentally a patriarchy in which men dominate and oppress women."

Tbh the best way to explain it is showing and talking about radfem opinions, so here are some texts if u wanna:

(They arent mine just gimme a sec and ill find the writers and give em credit)

(Edit: this first text was made by s-the-empress but shes a creep)

-‘’issues’’ that are bothering radfems:

. prostitution - because purchased consent is not consent, it’s coercion. sex work is dehumanizing and traumatizing for women.

pornography - which is prostitution on camera. it harms not only the women involved in the videos (physically and mentally) it also harms the viewers in the long run. (also 90% of sex workers want out of the sex industry).

surrogacy - similar to prostitution and pornography in the sense that women’s bodies become acquirable products for sale or rent. inhuman unethical and unnatural.

capitalism - which is the system that allows the commodification of women and their bodies. in a truly social society (ironic) women wouldn’t have to sell or rent out their bodies in order to survive.

bdsm - wherein the majority of subs are women and the majority of doms are men. that results in: power imbalances, physical and emotional abuse and trauma.

patriarchal religions - all holy books were written by men and serve to maintain and legitimize patriarchal power structures. FURTHERMORE. patriarchal religions falsely attribute the gift of creation to men when in reality every man on earth was molded from the flesh of women. (Adam you know where to stick that rib)

gender roles/femininity aesthetic as well as behavioral performances of femininity also serve to perpetuate patriarchal power structures. a woman who has been taught since birth to adorn her cage is too busy to reflect on what exactly she is adorning.

postmodernism/queer theory - radical feminism is based on materialism. women are oppressed because of their biological reality, which is not subjective, subjectable to changes or personal interpretations. postmodernism and queer theory are. according to queer theory one can identify into whatever class one wishes to, as long as one feels, or says one feels like a member of that class… wild.

the beauty industry - fills up the pockets of old wrinkly men. keeps women insecure, low self-esteem. their value and self-worth forever dependent on their physical appeal (to men). big bad.

marriage - marriage would be described by some as the wheels on which patriarchy is carried onwards. historically, marriage has been nothing but a transaction: a daughter, who belonged to her father now belongs to her husband, her reproductive labor, domestic labor, emotional labor and physical labor all at his disposition. (until death do us part!)

individualism - as opposed to class analysis. arguably the most overlooked and hardest ‘’issue’’ to overcome. it’s understandable that most women gravitate towards liberal feminism because they don’t have to analyze the reasons behind their actions, they don’t have to come to difficult and unappealing conclusions, they don’t have to feel the need to take action and stop engaging in whatever they are doing that’s harming women as a class. after all it’s their choice!

‘’solutions’’ to the issues

Depending on which radfem you ask you’ll get the following ones

male exclusion - simply deciding to center one’s life and actions around females in all possible aspects.

introspection - analyzing one’s actions and maybe asking oneself: is this something andrea dworkin would want me to do?

raising awareness - of all the issues mentioned above. spreading the radfem gospel.. not a solution but a step towards finding or creating a solution as a community.

being politically ACTIVE - political agency and action is essential for female liberation; especially concerning topics such as reproductive rights, legislation of prostitution, electing representatives ETC.

investing time and effort into making men aware of the issues, in the hopes that they’ll do their part for the liberation of women and do the same with their fellow men.

creating a virus that only affects the y chromosome, thus wholly decimating the male population within months or years (jk lol)

(Edit: i cant find who wrote this but it wasnt me so dont give me credit!!)

A radfem is someone who practices and educates others on radical feminism. Some cornerstones of radical feminism include

* Being critical of the sex industry

* Being critical of the makeup/fashion industry

* Being critical of the concept of gender

* Supporting women

* Spreading awareness about female specific issues, such as female reproductive rights, FGM, menstruation stigma, and lack of knowledge about female anatomy

The reason we’re often accused of hating all trans people is that radical feminists understand that biological sex is real, gender is a created concept, and that there is no inherent difference between male and female brains. A female human isn’t born with a brain hardwired to like pink, high heels, and makeup just as a male human isn’t born liking blue, football, and cars. So many radfems, including myself, find it very insulting when we hear someone say they were born with a ‘female’ brain because they like stereotypically feminine things; as if that’s what women are hardwired to do and if they don’t like stereotypically feminine things there’s something *wrong* with them. Additionally radfems advocate for female safe spaces, which has gotten us a lot of hate. Males (both men and trans women) have a higher rate of violence than females, and we feel it’s important for women to be able to have a space away from them that they can go to.

(This one's mine) criticizing the current trans movement

While there are a lot of very transphobic radfems/terfs that have a gross misunderstanding of dysphoria (yesterday I saw cocksmasher straight up say trans people “”“don’t love themselves”“” and that’s why they’re trans), there are also a lot of reasonable radfems.

Like, radical feminism itself isn’t focused at all on trans people (contrary to popular believe and to some terfs on this hell website), it’s focused on female opression and libertation.

But, common believes about being trans/gender/sex etc among the radfem community are

-“gender identity” is a social construct (it isn’t innate), and is strongly tied to gender roles

-being dysphoric doesn’t automatically means trans, since transitioning is only a way of treating dysphoria, and there are many reasons someone might be dysphoric

-instead of “identifying as a man/woman/nonbinary”, we should abolish gender identity and gender roles altogether

-males are socialized male and females are socialized female, even if they’re dysphoric/gnc. Therefore, for example, a transwoman that rapes someone, is an male abuser. It is male violence.

-a male will have male privilege. Of course that, the moment they transition and people start seeing them as female, people will treat them differently. People won’t listen to them, people will assault them, people will treat them like a woman is treat on today’s society. But, they still hold privilege. There are some studies that show this but I’ll never find it again, lmao

-a female will be opressed. Again, the moment they transition and start being seen as male, they’ll be treated better, like a men. But they’re still opressed af.

-attraction is sex based. While I believe some people can be attracted to fully transitioned people of the opposite sex, attraction is and will always be sex based. And yeah, this mean lesbians can be attracted to transmen and gay men can be attracted to transwoman (while I’ve seen way more lesbians attracted to transmen then gay men with transwoman).

-gender non conformity is DEFINITELY not a sing of being trans. Putting kids on dangerous hormone blockers is a terrible ideia, principally considering people/teenagers going through puberty are still growing up and discovering themselves and are full of hormones, and teens often stop being dysphoric once they reach adulthood. Also, there is all that thing about internalozed misogyny/homophobia and female socialization.

-feminism is a moviment about FEMALE libertation. While people are 100% free to have their feminism be to other opressed minorities (like me, as an intersecional radical feminist), it’s not right to say every woman has to include males in their feminism.

-we don’t have to talk about our bodies in a dehumanazing way because “it triggers transwomen”??? Vagina havers??? Birth givers???? Fuck you

-biological sex isn’t a social construct omfg how dumb can you get

-females deserve to have their female safe spaces because males, as a class, are dangerous. We deserve a place to talk about our bodies and lives without males around.

Honestly there is a LOT to talk about in every one of these topics so if u wanna chat you can dm me!! And also I recommend @radicallyaligned if you wanna read more!
