"Normalize sex work"

No.

Normalize calling men who buy sex rapists.

Normalize calling men who buy porn misogynists and creeps.

Normalize seeing sex workers as women who have been groomed by the patriarchy rather than empowered boss babes.

we seriously need a bigger movement of women refusing to date and have sex with men right now ; feminism won't get anywhere as long as women do not take this kind of radical actions. i know it's a complicated topic since even "radical" feminists on here think it's too much and won't do it (while it's the basis of radical feminism) but i believe it's essential for women's liberation.

making sure men have access to women's bodies is the patriarchy's priority. in its head, that's what women are made for. that's why we are born. we exist to sleep with men - or should i say, to let men fuck us -, to marry them - become their servant and private prostitute - , to give them kids. it's one of the roots of the patriarchy. if we want to destroy the patriarchy, we have to destroy the roots. we have to destroy this root.

in history, feminism got somewhere everytime women took big actions against the patriarchy. posts are good, little actions help, but we need to make real noise. de frapper un grand coup. this way, we will be safer, and the patriarchy will be severly wounded.

I can be openly feminist with women in my life, openly honest about my opinions on porn, period stigma, male degeneracy, gay rights, reproductive rights- all without sugar coating, all of them agreeing, all of us sharing our fears, experiences, and our hope for the future-

But when it comes to being critical of gender, of its role that it plays in our lives, in our oppression, I have to be very, very careful, and it's exhausting. Suddenly we have to awknowledge that well it's our Choice and even if it is a drag and takes up time it's Ok because other women like it so we can't be mean!!! It's not bad!!!

We dance around trans topics like bathrooms and sex specific spaces and we can't get into discussions about the concept of transgenderism because its their Choice and if they're a woman, they are! Even if we all agree gender is a social construct and meaningless, their gender still has meaning, somehow, and we must respect it.

Both these topics we quietly and surface level discuss, there is no deeper discussion to be had, and it's infuriating. If I try to gently prod deeper- "Hey, if gender is meaningless and a construct, why do you need transition at all?" "Hey, is it really a choice if you've never let your hair grow, never felt comfortable without makeup?" It's met with another mantra, Let People Live, it's our Choice still, etc etc.

Which is why so often I end up talking about gender critical topics a lot on here, about choice feminism and its impacts, because it's something I can't do in real life. I still hold these women in high regard obvi- but tumblr is, for me, the only place I can be mad at men in wigs and find that missing connection I want in my real life. I just hope some day I will find that balance of real radfems in real life, and I can stop posting mainly about topics I can't say out loud and start focusing on all-around feminism on my blog.

we should create a feminist movement that encourages mothers to only give birth to females.

The goal is to change the global female to male ratio

Just learned Korean companies can refuse leave if you want to attend your maternal grandmother’s funeral. You can only ask for leave if your paternal family dies. But people are surprised by the 4b movement? What. the. fuck.

telling a sexual abuse survivor to kill herself because she said "maybe my sexual abuse aligns with the queer experience". you're mean

It's amazing how ya'll will say the most blatant shit like "Pedophilia is queer" and not think that that is pedophilic. You will read that and somehow reach to the conclusion you made.

Being sexually abused is NOT a queer experience, and for anyone to say ~their journey~ lead them to that take, and it's ~their choice~ is in support of someone who is sympathizing with pedophiles. Just because someone is abused and has internalized their predators' beliefs doesn't mean they are exempt from further hurting other victims and normalizing pedophilia.

And anon, you should take a bullet too for supporting pedophile rhetoric.

Religious trauma is not an excuse to sexualize religious women. Sexualizing any woman is misogyny, yes, even if she is religious! I am so sick of porn addicts trying to defend their disgusting behavior.

Am I myself traumatized due to religion? Yes! Do I support the sexualization of nuns, other christian women, and religious women in general? Absolutely not! Stop using religious trauma to hide your misogyny!

You are a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs, but that doesn't matter. You are a valid human who is trying to feel comfortable in her body. All the “validation” you get is pure. Behind your back people love you. Your parents are happy and proud of you, your friends laugh at your jokes behind closed doors, and boys love you, and girls envy you. Men absolutely love you. Trans folk who “pass” look ordinary and natural to a man. Your bone structure does not matter. Estradiol widens the hips. You will be happy. You will smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, and deep inside you feel the euphoria creeping up like a weed. It is what defines you, not the transphobes. Eventually, it’ll be perfect for you – you’ll come out, start HRT, get top surgery, and finally be your ideal self. Your parents will find you, happy and relieved that they finally have a happy daughter. They’ll congratulate you on your hard journey, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a woman is what you are
