#radfems aren't feminists

[queerasaurus-rexx]

i don't rightly know if terfs and radfems know or care that their vehement insistence that women only wear make up and sexy clothes to please men back ends directly into victim blaming, but i know they'll never read this post in good faith, so this one's for the folks who are sane enough to recognize the inherent misogyny in that line of thinking.

saying women only do that stuff to please men paints make up and sexy clothes as an 'advertisement' in a way. it paints those things as a woman saying she wants male attention.

oh, look! it's the 'she was asking for it!' argument again! where did that come from?

this line of thinking is the reason sexual assault victims are asked what they were wearing.

it agrees with the idea that if a woman wears make up and sexy clothes, then she wanted that attention, so it couldn't have been rape or harassment!

but the point they also miss is that, men who want to abuse women the way they think all men do – hate women who wear make up and sexy clothes. men who want to own and control women restrict and control a woman's clothes and modes of self-expression, like make up. cults do the same thing (i wonder if that says anything about terfism -) because clothing and other modes of self-expression like make up are more tied to personal identity than they are to attracting a partner.

not to mention, saying women don't do those things for themselves robs them of their agency and infantilizes them.

It always angers me when people say that men would not put in so much effort to enact their violence on women and children because they do exactly that.

I was only seven when I learnt about just how hard men try to deceive the world so they can have free reign over young girls. I went on a Brownie trip to an orphanage back when I lived in Nigeria. The orphanage was just for girls which isn't uncommon, and it was massive, with its own school, shops, clinic etc. The girls had no reason to leave. It was set up by a pastor- a Nigerian who'd moved back from abroad.

I remember while we were there, one of the girls had just had a baby. She had seemed so old to me but looking back, she must have been around sixteen or seventeen. I remember my mum seemed suspicious when we were told the girl had run away and returned pregnant. She seemed even more so when we met the owner.

A year or two later, there was news on the radio. The man who had set up the orphanage had raped and impregnated several girls, selling their babies to prospective parents. I didn't even understand what rape meant back then but I remember my mum being devastated. Looking back, I think she might have felt guilty, perhaps she'd seen the signs: the girls not being allowed to leave the compound; teenage girls ending up pregnant. It seemed so obvious.

But no one questioned a man who used all of his money to build and set up a home for vulnerable girls, he was a pastor, educated, well-travelled. He could never have done something so cruel. But he did.

When I was writing this post, I tried to find any articles but I couldn't. They were just so many identical cases, man sets up orphanage, rapes and abuses children in the orphanage. Different cases, different years, one as recent as 2023. What I learnt back then and know for sure is that men would do anything, no matter how difficult or expensive, anything to have access to people they can abuse.

I love it when women hate men. I love it when women are allowed to vent to each other about how horrible and creepy men are. I love it when women form friendships with and prioritize each other over relationships with men(whether they're attracted to them or not). I love it when women put men dni in their bios and on their nude photos and on posts on their blogs. I love it when women refuse to mollycoddle and accommodate entitled male feelings with "but this doesn't mean I hate all men, I know a few men who are great, I love my father/sons/brothers/uncles/male cousins/guy friends" I love it when women complain about men WITHOUT "not all men" being a disclaimer. I love it when women avoid socializing with/refuse to be around/befriend/get close to men because they know men can't be trusted. I love it when women make "kill all men" jokes. I love it when women offer absolutely no concern or care for men's feelings and if their misandry offends men whatsoever because why should we, men are the oppressor class who have raped and killed and abused us and kept us as subjugated as second-class citizens for millennia, they regularly mistreat us and the women in their own marginalized communities still every single day and make this world so much harder and more awful for us to be in, and if we choose to hate them and not spare them any sympathy then so be it, and I don't just mean "men as a class" either, you can be a woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with any man on an individual basis and completely cuts off men from her personal life too and ykw I will love and fucking support you in that because men deserve absolutely NOTHING from us. If they're so tough and strong then they can handle it just like they can handle being lonely. If you are a woman who hates men, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A LESBIAN AND/OR A TRANS WOMAN, then just know that I love you. I love you, I support you, and you are safe here.

Exposing LeaseBound Creater: Rusty Hearts

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Trent (@royalsniz)

It has been confirmed that the artist known as Rusty Hearts, creator of the LeaseBound series, exhibits discriminatory and unethical conduct. Evidence shows Rusty Hearts holds transphobic (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), racist, and sexist views. They have fetishized and sexually objectified men and trans men. Most disturbingly, Rusty Hearts has sexually harassed minors, including soliciting explicit intent to a 16-year-old under the pretext of exploring "the joys of womanhood" by self pleasuring.

While individual consumers must make their own choices, I would caution against supporting Rusty Hearts or engaging with her LeaseBound works. Her demonstrably bigoted beliefs and predatory behavior toward underage individuals cross unacceptable lines. Consumers should be aware of the significant allegations against this artist when deciding whether to platform her content.

My experience with feminist action in India is incredibly interesting. On the one hand I've met women (like me) volunteering for womens shelters, making female education a priority, helping women with their career. Hell I come from a village where I'm the first one studying computer science! I have been told I've inspired so many women to do their further studies and nothing could make me prouder.

On the other hand I have met so many (usually richer) women who have so much power and education and they do.... Nothing.

No even worse than nothing, they hype up bad men, they proclaim they'd rather be a housewife and studying is useless, they hire and abuse other women, they take on American style liberal feminism and they champion trans bs.

I just don't understand this vast divide. We are all living in the same damn sexist country.

I hate TIRFs just as much as I hate TERFs btw

I just hate every type radfem

I hate radical feminism

[shimenchus]

it's so telling when someone says radical feminism is "white woman shit" and you bring up the fact that in many places such as africa or asia, the only feminism that prominently exists is radical feminism, and for those places it's just considered regular feminism that you get told those women live in places that aren't progressive enough for them to understand their actions properly. to say these women are too dumb to realize that their beliefs are "bad" simply because they don't align with western mainstream liberal feminism is rooted in xenophobia and racism, not to mention a lack of understanding of the struggles and violence women from these countries regularly go through, which can range anywhere from fgm to men rubbing and wiping their cum on the back of women's clothes in trains. but of course, as usual, there's no intelligent response to this so you just end up getting blocked or get rape wished on you.

[feral-radfem]

All of y'all pretending like heterosexual women are the only ones who experience misogyny, or experience the most misogyny, are not (just) being homophobic, you're being misogynistic.

You're denying women's sex based oppression is real or it's severity. So maybe sit down and shut up and realize that we are still women despite the fact that we are not sleeping with men. You have the ability to make the choice not to sleep with men too. It's not an inaction unique to homosexuals.

I will spread any feminist praxis I want, and if it's insulting for me to reiterate the ideals we preach in these spaces because I'm a homosexual then you can go ahead and be insulted. SSA women have just as much claim to these spaces as you do because we are women and these spaces are for fighting misogyny, which we all experience. It's not just for tackling the misogyny y'all are uncomfortable with, it's for tackling all of it. Get with the program, ladies.

[withcrafts]

Literally just hearing about MichFest for the first time today and I actually cannot believe how feral men are when they're not allowed into female owned spaces. It was an exclusive festival and guess what? Just because you're not allowed there doesn't mean it's discriminatory. If you demand to be let into someone's house and they don't know you i.e. you're not related to them in any way shape or form, you're not getting in because you don't belong there. Men are so disgustingly and abhorrently selfish and gluttonous for what isn't theirs. So many groups, organizations, events, etc., are exclusive!! Exclusivity ≠ discrimination. Go make your own spaces and whatnot just like you always have when you're not accepted somewhere because it's not for you.

listen as an afab person, 'wombyn' will always be more offensive to me than 'person who menstruates' even outside of trans inclusive discussions

we can get into the politics of people first language later, but like

'person who menstruates' doesn't reduce me to that thing. it's just something i do.

'wombyn' is just like, two degrees shy of shit a tradwife would say.

my ability to have children is all it's saying i am. and i'm not even a woman anymore. 'womb' as a word is so tied to pregnancy and motherhood that it feels like all they're saying afab people are just baby machines.

and to even further prove my point, i asked my mother, who has so little knowledge of the trans community that she's still not used to calling me her child instead of her daughter.

she preferred 'people who menstruate' for the same reason.

'i am not my womb and any language that centers that part of me as who i am is not language i want to be used for me.'

[olivescardigans]

interesting how people will defend Dylan Mulvaney's song to hell and back by saying "its about HER experience with girlhood, it's not supposed to be about every woman ever" and yet if a woman dare say anything about how being female impacts her life and her womanhood, suddenly she's a bigot that isn't all-inclusive and doesn't care about trans people and must be put down

[fluffytimearts]

Jeez, you fucking libfems are so braindead, so what if that person is a minor? She was obviously saving the poor girl from the TRA propaganda you all ride dicks for. Rusty is simply saving lesbians from the lesbophobia you push you sick perverts. 

Ya'll-- Ya'll WHEEZE-- we got one.

Alright pedophile apologist having, gay men fetishizing, radfem strapriding, women suppressing, white supremist loving, hypocritical looking, sexual narcissist being, "I'm not like other girls" talking, obviously some illiterate talking ain't no picking up a single book bout facts having, speaking like a wojak having, *gasp* dear lawd, I can't take a breath cuz damn it took it away by the sheer emptiness of your stupidity. Speaking of air, I wonder when you are going to speak, because that dick of "trans brand" mindset is quite muffling. Not even that most of yall, who are mainly entitled femcel white women, do nothing but whine and bitch most of the time to do any sort of affirmative action that protects any lesbians, not that there is anything to protect them from considering. If you picked up a history book, you know that trans people stood with lesbians, so thats number one and two. I see more damage than anything really from radfems putting lesbians down, threatening them of SA and R@pe, and telling them off the wall shit that is more like trapping them in an unhealthy ass relationship with ya'll. 

But alas, call me what you will. Who needs clowns when you are already my favorite entertainment of you guys getting pissy and jumping on my askbox as if you are proving some point "boldly"? 

Keep em coming, sugar tits.

[hard--headed--woman]

i keep seeing those videos on YouTube about how radical feminism "lacks nuances" or is "too aggressive and radical" and i think the problem is just that y'all are cowards

[sjbattleangel]

For trans people everywhere:

And cis allies:  

[crystalsandbubbletea]

If you're gonna say transphobic shit then stay the fuck off the trans tags. You are not fucking welcomed here. I am looking at you TERFS and radfems who say transphobic shit and tag it as 'Trans'. We don't want your white supremacist shit near our communities you sickos.

I am ready to scream into the void of eternity. 

I came out as a lesbian as a young teenager. I’ve lived with the realized knowledge of who I am for sixteen years. I looked forward to dating girls and then women, once I was an adult. Middle school sucked, so I did nothing. High school had no one interested in me. I had an LDR with a girl in Australia, but that ended in a sad story for me. 

I dropped out of high school in the end and stress put my romantic life on hold. Life got insane. I had to move to live with my other parent, thought, “Maybe now?” and then got slapped in the face with the reality of living in a small town, once again. Had to move in with my grandmother, at twenty years old, and resigned myself to keeping my head down and never once saying anything about my sexuality. Another small town, an old woman who wouldn’t have harmed me but would have told me I was mistaken. Or confused. My other grandmother who refused to hear me saying I was a lesbian and insisting I would end up married to a man, to the point she wanted me to flirt with our (obviously married) waiter when I went out to dinner with her one time.

So I put the romance ideas away again. Didn’t have time, was too stressed, everything was a nightmare. 

Finally moved out, living with some friends, and this is the world I come back to. Demands to submit to men, to have sex with them or be branded a bigot. A transphobe. I need to accept a penis in my sex life or I’m a monster.

This is the world I tuned back into the dating sphere to find. 

Their homophobia is a nightmare and I’m so tired of it. I almost wish I wasn’t out because then they would leave me alone. Maybe. 

Or maybe they’d just find another way to harass me. 

I’m here, now, looking for people to communicate with who feel the same way. I just want some form of community while they try to rip it all apart. Men are terrifying and I don’t want them anywhere near me.
