All the things that have happened to me in my life never made sense until I read the words "Men do not think women are human."
I believe in female unity from oppression. Straight/Tired/Angry. Your pronouns and gender mean nothing in the face of sex-based oppression. Transwomen have a right to exist. They have no right to colonize biological female spaces and prohibit our speech and harass our children. Do not call your fellow women a "TERF." Doing so only damages women and furthers the agenda of the patriarchy. Stay a while and listen. If you claim to be a radfem and are also clearly a zionist just DNI. I CBA with that.
i feel like feminism lost a lot of its meaning when the whole “men can be feminists/feminism is for everybody” bs came along and watered everything down now we’re in a sad stage of “b-but not all men guys! don’t be big meanies to them!! misandry is real and hurts men’s feelings :((”
I see this shit all the God damn time. If a dude says something on this wavelength to you then HE IS NOT ONE OF THE GOOD ONES HE IS THE PROBLEM HE IS DEFLECTING.
Anon's PoV comes from a place where marginalized people don't exist. It's easier to "hold people responsible for their actions" when the playing field is 100% even but we do not live in that reality. Women are paid less, expected to pay financial dues to "look" a certain way, usually end up with the lion's share of childcare to the point where they're expected to give up their financial independence and I could go on and on. It's just not fair to not account for disadvantaged circumstances when you weigh the cause and responsibility of choices.
Why don't radfems think women are responsible for their actions? It's a consistent pattern I see in other social justice movements as well.
women are responsible for their actions, but culturally women are treated as if they are responsible for more than just their actions, as well as the actions of others. women the consequences for women's actions also not proportional. like as a made up example: if a woman feeds her kids chicken nuggets for a week straight, instead of people saying oh she's trying her best to feed her kids and we frankly don't know all the circumstances, people instead would lose their minds and call cps on her. but if a dad did "chicken nugget week" people would be like #dream dad, #good man, #fun dad chicken nugget challenge and he'd be invited on whatever the equivalent of the ellen show exists now (is ellen still on? don't even know after she was accused of being a meanie)
32 trans women murdered is an epidemic that causes every trans person to fear for their lives and requires immediate legal intervention and enormous sociopolitical outcry but hundreds of trans women convicted of violent crimes against women, children, and animals is not a pattern or problem and not reflective of the community at all, bigot.
