Feminism lost its teeth since capitalism and the patriarchy co-opted it let's be real. But nobody wants to think about how being a feminist (and feeling """morally superior""") is much easier when you can say every choice you make is a feminist choice bc you're a woman than if you actually had to change your lifestyle in a way that goes against society and its expectations/norms to actually fight against the patriarchy.

That's what Rape Culture looks like in Germany:

A then 15 year old girl was gang r*ped by several young men in a local park and the trial was finished yesterday. Do you know what the sentences look like? Here's parts of the article with my translation:

A 19-year-old was sentenced to a youth prison sentence of two years and nine months without parole. Youth sentences of one to two years on probation or so-called pre-parole were imposed on eight men. This means that the court reserves the decision on the execution of the sentence for a later date - depending on the defendant's development. A tenth defendant was acquitted. An eleventh defendant was acquitted in April of this year.

First, four of the defendants led the girl into a bush and performed sexual acts on her against the 15-year-old's apparent will. One of them stole her cell phone and wallet.

Two other defendants then took advantage of the girl's confused state and also raped her. When the 15-year-old wandered around the festival meadow again, she ran into the arms of another young man who abused her. Finally, the three remaining defendants went into a bush with the young person. However, it is not certain that all three raped her. That's why the court acquitted a 23-year-old

Witnesses reported two videos that could be assigned to the first and last incident. However, both videos were irretrievably deleted shortly after the crime and were not available to investigators or the court. (...) The only objective evidence was DNA traces from nine of the defendants.

For eight of the nine defendants found guilty, the youth sentences were imposed in view of the seriousness of the guilt. According to the court, none of the defendants had committed sexual offenses before or since the crime or had previously been sentenced to a youth sentence. According to juvenile criminal law, the length of youth sentences is based on the educational needs of the individual defendant.

So she was gang r*ped for hours by several groups of men, they filmed her, took advantage of her being drunk and confused after being abused, not one of them decided to help her in any way. They stole from her, preventing her from calling anyone, and what sentences do they get? It's a fucking joke and a slap in the face for every girl and woman who's been sexually abused.

I‘ve talked to so many refugee men because in my german town are a lot of immigrants. There are days when I‘m the only woman without a headscarf or hijab in the bus. These people are my classmates and coworkers, they are the owners of barber shops, small grocery stores and restaurants. Most of them are kind, they are the ones who give you an euro if you can’t pay the whole price in the supermarked, many of them are open to our culture and try to connect to native germans, so this is obviously not a black and white issue. But there are also men who have no respect for women, in my experience leaving islam won’t change this type of men, they just think they are somehow better but that’s it. There are men who call the women they raped „nazi“ or only complain about racism when a german woman stands her ground against them. These guys will use the n-word, call east asians „dog eaters“ but play the victim when it comes to their sexism. And only right wingers are open to adress this behaviour because it benefits them. The left and also feminists are quiet. I think it’s 100% possible to adress this issues without being actually racist but no one wants to do it. It would actually benefit WoC too because there are still cases of fgm or arranged marriages in germany no one bats an eye at. So maybe white women who complain about sexist immigrants have a point and are not the enemy 🤷🏻‍♀️

[exercise-of-trust]

seemingly cool fiber arts person i followed a little bit ago just put radfem shit on the dash, anyway the blanket statement that the only contributions of men to textile production are capitalist/exploitative and the only contributions of women are household-centric/victimized is patently untrue. while less of a documented presence, women in medieval europe [1] absolutely participated in weaver's guilds and commercial cloth production [2], and men have been participating in household knitting in all parts of europe for as long as knitting has been a thing there [3]. like i'm not trying to say women haven't been deeply excluded from economic opportunities in the textile trade for centuries but you cannot be making sweeping statements like that about everyone in every part of the world through all of history and expect them to be true. do, like, a basic level of research and have a basic understanding of nuance, i beg of you [4]

footnotes/sources/etc under the cut, sources are a bit basic because i just grabbed whatever was nearest to hand but they should suffice to prove my point:

[1] i'm only referring to western europe here because that's the only region i feel comfortable talking about in any detail without embarrassing myself. systems of medieval cloth production in european guilds are not gonna look anything like the systems of hundreds of servants employed to do textile production for a household in china. don't make categorical statements about everyone everywhere all at once, you will end up with egg on your face.

[2] quotes from "when did weaving become a male profession," ingvild øye, danish journal of archaeology, p.45 in particular.

england: "in norwich, a certain elizabeth baret was enrolled as freeman of the city in 1445/6 because she was a worsted weaver, and in 1511, a riot occurred when the weavers here complained that women were taking over their work" + "another ordinance from bristol [in 1461] forbade master weavers to engage wives, daughters, and maids who wove on their own looms as weavers but made an exception for wives already active before this act" germany: "in bremen, several professional male weavers are recorded in the early fourteenth century, but evidently alongside female weavers, who are documented even later, in 1440" -> the whole "even later" thing is because the original article is disputing the idea that men as weavers/clothiers in medieval europe entirely replaced women over time. also: "in 1432-36, a female weaver, mette weuersk, is referred to as a member of the gertrud's guild in flensburg, presently germany" scandanavia: "the guild of weavers that was established in copenhagen in 1500 also accepted female weavers as independent members and the rules were recorded in the guild's statutes"

[3] quotes from folk socks: the history and techniques of handknitted footwear by nancy bush, interweave press, 2011, don't roast me it was literally within arm's reach and i didn't feel like looking up more stuff

uk/yorkshire dales: "...handknitting had been a daily employment for three centuries [leading up to 1900]. practiced by women, children, and men, the craft added much to the economy of the dales people." (p.21) uk/wales: re the knitting night (noson weu/noswaith weu) as a social custom practiced in the 18th/19th c.: "all the ladies would work on their knitting; some of the men would knit garters" (p.22) uk/channel islands: "by the early seventeenth century, so many of the islands' men, women, and children had taken up the trade of knitting that laws were necessary to keep them from knitting during harvest" (p.24) -> this one is deeply funny to me, in addition to proving my point uk/aberdeen: "the knitters, known as shankers, were usually women, but sometimes included old men and boys" (p.26) denmark: "with iron and brass needles, they made stockings called stunthoser, stomper, or stockings without feet, as well as stockings with feet. the men knit the legs and the women and girls made the heels" (p.32) iceland & faroe islands: "people of all ages and both sexes knit at home not only for their own use but for exportation of their goods as well" (p.35)

[4] actually? no. i'm not begging for shit from radfems. fuck all'a'y'all.

[radfem-polls]

open-ended question, do you have any radfem media recommendations? it can be amything, from singers and songs, to podcasts, yt channels and movies?

Open ended Saturday!

Recently, I've been watching Elly Arrow's vids about prostitution/"sex work". She's smaller (6k subscribers) and she has some good videos about prostitution in Germany, and about prostitution in general.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's recs! -🐌

[deadoveater]

if I call indian men rapemonkeys Im gonna be called a racist because... some white right wing politicians in europe might say the same too. okay so somehow woc and also white euro women fearing for their safety given how much more misogynistic some third world countries moid citizens are and theyll make both white and immigrant womens oppression in europe way worse, are equals to some actual altright fuck in germany saying some racist bs because he thinks his firangi gora rang makes him superior to brown and black people. how is this diff than what libfems accuse radfems of?

Idc what you thought of mandyfems post and what she might believe but its so stupid to act like you can read her mind and not just try to have a convo before screaming racism and nazism.

no nuance nancies of radblrs keep seething. thatd not gonna change the reality that exists outside of this stupid website.

[radykalny-feminizm]

i feel like we should be more worried how feminism and leftism as a whole are so easily infiltrated and psyopped by islam defenders. like on the one hand we get told 'noooo it's racist to think islam is more misogynistic than even other religions' and on the other 'hunty don't SPEAK on misogyny experienced by women in MENA, you simply don't understand how bad it is!' well, if it's that bad (and it is) i don't want to import large numbers of these men into my country, sue me for caring that some of the only regions of the planet women can live a relatively autonomous life are gonna backslide. there's neighborhoods in france where unveiled women can't walk around in peace or enter a café. it's fucking over if we let this continue.

Absolutely, you're 100% right. It's a shame that those leftists who accuse everyone of being racist don't want to listen to the actual ex-muslim women from islam-dominated countries. I do listen to them and that's why my feminism includes being unapologetically anti islam. I'm trying to spread the awareness of how dangerous this religion is, both on here and irl. I'm glad that I live in a country where we don't have a lot of muslim immigrants and I hope it will never change. And I feel so sorry for women in Germany, France and Scandinavia because it's getting worse and worse for them there and I see no way to stop it. I feel that it all went too far now and there's nothing we can do to save them. The only solution would be a massive deportation of non-integrated immigrants or basically forcing them to integrate and accept western values, both unlikely to happen. In conclusion, the future of Europe really doesn't look bright.

A 20 year old women killed a 64 year old man by stabbing him with a knife after he sexually harassed her.

we need men to be more afraid of (sexually harassing) women!

[voidcatdoll]

lmao I did not expect this blog to get any traction at all, let alone gain 15 followers in 9 days, so I guess I'm making a pinned post now that it might actually be useful.

DNI / I will fucking block you

sissy blogs

porn blogs. I'm here to interact with people, not collections of porn gifs.

cis men

the usual laundry list of bigots - transphobes, racists, homophobes, fascists, TERFs, SWERFs, radfems, etc. Not that any of you will care about it but you've been warned, the block button awaits you if I see you here

you break the rules below

No horny comments about or towards me if:

you're way outside my rough age range. Sorry, no specific limits because I would forget to update them and its somewhat vibes-based anyway.

You're a minor. I know y'all are gonna look at nsfw content anyway because you're curious, which is normal, and quite frankly I'd rather you hang around here where you might actually learn something about consent and doing kink responsibly than watching whatever latest unethical horror one could unearth on PornHub. But don't make it about me personally. I will block you.

Right now that I'm done yelling at people, time for the things I'd like this post to be about instead.

Please interact if:

cute/pretty transfemme

cute/pretty transmasc

cute/pretty enby

you're the person I shamelessly stole this from :p

Please send me any sort of (horny) ask or DM you want, I made this blog in part for attention after all. Just ask before sending nudes (I'll probably say yes just ask beforehand)

hard kink sideblog is @desperate-is-fucking-me

Kink-wise I do adore the power exchange itself, but thats woven into almost all kinky sex to some degree, so lets get more specific. Bondage, tentacles, oviposition, painplay, collars & leashes, piss, horns, sharp teeth, claws, tails, edging, and probably more things that I forgot about are all stuff I'm into to various degrees.

If you want something to call me, (good) girl or pet, or ma'am, depending on how you're feeling ;)

oh also I'm from Germany

[yuri-for-businesswomen]

i blocked her now but i need to say something about these two comments for my own peace of mind.

girl. i got into radical feminism after i got into prostitution. i was a liberal feminist when i entered - being prostituted is what radicalised me.

these people kill me. it‘s „listen to sex workers uwu“ until she is a former prostitute talking about the trauma it caused her. do you think im the exception? the only way im exceptional is that i was privileged compared to most other women in prostitution. i was able to exit. trauma and substance abuse are prevalent among prostitutes. is that a normal symptom of having sex? which is all prostitution is according to her.

and btw, not only have i experienced prostitution firsthand, i also know other women who were in prostitution, and this made me get into research on the topic and even write my final thesis on prostitution in germany. but yeah im sure you are in a position to talk about it… by acting like prostituted women are just having sex and us evil radfems are puritanists who hate sex. lol. kys

[boreal-sea]

I think the bottom line is this:

Trans people, we do not need to overstate or inflate or rewrite what happened to trans people during the Holocaust in order to be respected in 2023 when we say "the USA is gearing up for a genocide against trans people".

We were not the primary targets of the Holocaust. Jews were. Period.

The Holocaust did not "start with trans people". They did not come after us "first". Antisemitism and acts against Jews were happening long before Hitler was elected. Even after he was elected, it was MONTHS before he ordered the burning of the books from the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft. To pretend that this book burning was the "start" of the Holocaust or the "start" of Nazi Germany is rewriting history to serve your own agenda, and it is antisemitic.

The timeline is literally so off I can't even believe posts claiming this was the case were circulating.

It's ok to point out similarities between what is happening in the law right now vs what was happening in Germany at the time. It's ok to describe language being used to speak against trans people right now as genocidal. It's ok to point out that radfems are cozying up with modern Nazis and quoting Mein Kampf. It's ok to say Nazis are transphobic. It is ok to say "look, things are going down a very similar road as Germany did before the Holocaust".

What is happening to us right now is horrible! Period! We don't need to lie about history!

[crazycatsiren]

"I'm not a radfem I'm just gender critical and agree with some of their opinions."

There's a saying in Germany: if there’s a Nazi sitting at a table, and 10 other people sitting there are talking to him, then you got a table with 11 Nazis.

[menalez]

I left radblr long ago but still lurk on your blog sometimes and logged back in just because I wanted to sorta half answer one anon you got… tbh this more applies to America but I wouldn't be surprised if Germany took a similar approach. So some of these groups at least here in the US have basically legally tried to change the definition of antisemitism to include criticism of both Zionism or the state of Israel (and I'll link my source) which is why many of these pro Palestinian activists end up getting in trouble even if it's simply for saying "free Palestine". While they may have not been fully successful they have definitely had a somewhat successful campaign, all these pro Israel lobby groups definitely have a lot of money funding to spread this type of propaganda where you can't criticize the state of Israel and its actions without it being tied to antisemitism. Re-reading my source it does seem like they tried the same shit in Europe.

https://palestinelegal.org/distorted-definition#resources

(Also I'm also deeply disappointed in other radfems on this issue... I knew the whole gender critical movement was tainted by this point but nonetheless it's sad)

i don’t doubt what you’re saying whatsoever, and yes it’s absolutely being done in (western) europe too! it’s especially prominent in germany, or perhaps even in france. these are the same countries that are renowned for having extremely antisemitic histories and populations, which makes this conflation especially alarming, because there IS very extreme antisemitism that needs to be addressed and it is not the pro-palestinian sentiment that creates that antisemitism.

so far, it has not been passed in germany but the level of propaganda in the media and the push from the government and the brutality from the police is a worrying trend.
