A little midnight rant (??) more of a ramble actually.
But anyway, I kept getting a lot of "Feminist" videos when they are actually Terf videos disguise as feminist videos or just flat-out Terf videos but don't want to use the word Terf because "it's a hateful thing to say." When really... no. It's not, it literally means Trans Exclusion Radical Feminist.
But anyway, I digress, my question, when did the word feminist lose its proper meaning?
There's a reason why I don't put feminist on my bio because many folks already (sadly) have come to the assumption that feminism/feminist means an all-women club aka "bio women" only.
When... no... feminism was started by women but only because in the working force women were really seen as stay-at-home wives. But because of the women's rights movement is when the law became more lenient in allowing women to work.
Feminist also means helping others such as men of different races as well to get proper jobs and payment as well. That sentence is gonna confuse someone sorry, to ramble more on what I mean. You have to understand the payment system. It's still a problem in today but way way back then, it was a lot worse. Many foreigners that came to America weren’t getting proper payment or not paid at all. But were really taken advataged at the fact they were aliens so their boss would make threats to them such as getting them deported or worse.
Because of the feminist movement, women realize they weren't the only ones getting mistreated by the system so we, feminist, would stick with them and fight a fight for equal rights. In which we won but obviously still need more work.
There is so much more history in which I can't really type all of that here because that would derail this post purpose on my question.
As a true feminist (ew, I don't like that I have to call myself a true feminist just so I don't lump myself with the falseys), knowing the history of what a feminist is... When did the word feminist lose it proper meaning?
I'm not chronically online as I use to be in my teen years (but knowing that bad habit messed up my mental and physical health). Please explain to me like I have been living under rock. Don't explain to me that undermine my intelligence (I've had people that done that to me before it's not fun) but in a way that is like high school teaching. Except take out the censoring bit. I wanna know the

#It's really late but I'm just a little tired that I kept getting a lot of terf videos disguised as feminist videos#only reason why I'm extra mad at terfs is because my sis got converted into a terf all because she heard#quote in her word the trans community been calling heterosexual couples breeders... end quote#and I'm like... no one is calling heterosexual couples breeders. The anti human life people been doin' that but like not the trans communit#if so then they aren't loud and should get their toe stub for the rest of their life. In fact anyone who dip their nose in anyone business#should get a stub toe for the rest of their life.#but I digress. It's frustrating to see my sis slowly being converted into being a terf and she even went as far as to say she is not one#but a feminist. Standing by other bio women.#it's so frustrating hearing the word feminist being use as a female only card when... no. That is not what feminist means.#but anyway. Sorry for rambling. My sis isn't really a terf... yet. She still got her values but it is frustrating hearing her be a bigot#about trans folks all because of the terf lies. and those “feminist” videos when they are not feminist videos but terf in disguise.#sorry im rambling#rant#loser brain eat a snicker
