Honestly, I don’t have a problem with trans women (even tho im a big radfem) just as long they have a good understanding of feminism and male privilege. If they are willing to call themselves out whenever they benefit from sexism, we’re all good ^_^
AND FEMINISM IS THE CURE.
Japanese Women on Twitter: We do not like being treated like shit or being objectified and face terrible sexism every day
Mixed Race Japanese People: *translate these messages directly from Japanese women so everyone can understand*
Western Men: Wow stop trying to force your culture on Japan. Women love being treated like shit there I saw it on anime.
She points to global propaganda, character assassination and a #metoo backlash, which is fair, but she still seems oblivious to the main reason she fell for it so easily:
As a feminist, it’s important to me to supportanyone who claims abuse—emotional, physical, sexual, or otherwise—and too often, men who come forward aren’t supported.
Liberals want to show that they support victims of abuse, and they know that men who have been abused are often not believed.
Supporting Depp is an easy way to show that you care about all victims of abuse, regardless of gender.
See, if you think that feminism is not about supporting women but about supporting “anyone” under a male supremacy, you are bound to support abusers. If you keep making the MRA claim that men are abused (by whom?) and not believed or supported under a male supremacy, without giving any source and while writing about a case precisely disproving it, you’re bound to support abusers. If you are a I-see-no-gender liberal under a male supremacy none the wiser about class struggle and the intricate ways it expresses itself, you’re bound to support abusers. If she doesn’t realize that she’s parroting anti-feminist propaganda soon she will fall for it again and again.
Step 1: Women take any step forward (or even just hint they might be able to) towards class consciousness, legal, economic or societal rights
Step 2: Men invent a caricature of feminist women designed to hit the nerves of women’s most deep seated values under patriarchy: beauty, kindness, empathy, inclusivity, motherhood, wifehood.
Step 3: Sensing that these caricatures are being used to discredit feminists, many women, who haven’t yet grasped the severity of men’s disdain towards women and who haven’t deconstructed their own patriarchal values, conclude that these caricatures are in fact observations of certain members within feminism.
Step 4: Believing “bad” members of her group to be the reason for these caricatures to exist (with the men only observing and naming these women), these women water down their politics and demeanour to men to prove that they are virtuous women, their feminism becomes focused on meeting men’s standards because they believe that men are the best judges of a women’s rights groups’ merits (After all, if feminists weren’t doing something wrong then men would be happy to give us our rights)
Step 5: Feminists who refuse to make a song and dance over proving themselves to be nice feminists are accused of alienating potential allies and being the reason men still haven’t supported women.
Step 6: Profit. The women’s movement spends its time trying to be palatable to men while cannibalising feminists who seek to actually destroy the patriarchy.
There is no such thing as a bitch, feminazi, karen or terf. These are patriarchal inventions designed to discredit and split our movement.
