since there’s been a lot of “men are wonderful incredible selfless human beings and if you say anything bad about them you’re a feminazi misandrist cunt #patriarchy hurts men too” posts lmao
And there it is again. You really can’t tell me shit about males’ right to be in female prisons because cis men are so violent and we’re just harmless women, we don’t want to be misgendered when this keeps happening over and over again, only this time two females ended up becoming pregnant. Not to mention it’s illegal to have sex in prison, but I’m not holding my breath to see if any consequences actually come from this.
your friend comes over a lot, but they keep talking about your coffee maker. every time, they tell you about how awesome your coffee maker is. they think its a compliment. they hint about how they want you to make coffee for them. sometimes they even come into your house to make themselves coffee. though they assure you it’s you they like, they never spend any time more than necessary getting to know you and spending time with you. it doesn’t take too long for you to realize that they don’t actually like you, they just like your coffee.
don’t let it be harder to realize in relationships. girls, you have a body. you are not your body. you have boobs. you are not your boobs. you have a butt. you are not your butt. guys comment on you on your body, thinking it’s a compliment to you but it isn’t. it’s like telling you they like you because of your coffee maker or your car or your dining room table, or couch or any other thing that you own.
Sex should never be something you “give in to”. Actually, ANY physical intimacy shouldn’t be something you give into. No matter how “gentle” the pressure, if you at all feel like you are “giving in” when you participate in a physical act, it is wrong. Sexuality is a gift. It’s beautiful when you give it to someone and they should be amazed by the fact that you are trusting them with something so precious. Pressure for sex is like someone coming up to you and pressuring you to give them a gift. It’s evidence that they care more about what you can give them than you yourself. It takes all the joy out of giving it and turns sexuality into a conquest instead of mutual joy.
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 ^_^
I was approached by this blog and asked to share so I thought I would. Here goes:
I stopped shaving the day after I was raped. I was raped by a man who I knew and was friends with. I spent months and months depressed by what happened to me, so much so that I had made a plan to end my life.
Enter radical feminism. I know that there’s a lot of hate and drama around radfem discourse, but it truly saved my life. It was a place I found that had women who were just like me. Who had been where I was. They were telling me it was alright to be angry. It was alright to stop performing femininity. It was then I stopped wearing makeup, wearing bras (I wear sports bras during the summer, sweatshirts or my flannel in the winter).
Anyhow, back to my legs. I have shaved, do shave occasionally. Though I am no longer embarrassed by my natural state. It’s given me a lot more strength. It’s also extended to other parts of my body where hair naturally grows. I don’t shave my armpits or my pubis. Things have stopped itching (from razor burn). It’s been awesome as far as how my body feels. Though I do often get asked by family if I shower (as if not shaving is somehow dirty) and an ex asked if I was going to start a forest fire!
Anyway, I’m glad to be part of this. Keep strong everyone! Much love!
Hey so I’m hyped that Trump’s gone and all but let’s just remember that things don’t magically get better from here on out - we have to keep working for them.
Keep supporting blm.
Keep protecting trans kids.
Keep welcoming immigrants.
Keep defending marriage equality.
Keep believing women.
Keep working to make our society more fair, just, and accepting of all.
The worst takes on this website are the ones which are just recycled right wing,imperialist,cis white conservative rhetoric but with a woke/feminist/gay cap on it,and its scary how so many people here unironically repeat them during discource while condemning the same arguments if they are said by cishet white conservative people.
I support all GNC people but can we please stop acting like gender nonconformity is the same in men as it is in women? Like “It’s okay to be a man who shaves his legs or a woman who doesn’t” or “boys can wear makeup too and girls don’t have to :))) it’s about choosing what you want”. I understand the intention behind it and of course, these statements are true, but acting like these things are comparable is just gross.
Gender nonconformity in men, in this context, is a performance, an active defiance (which is great and I support it!). For women it’s just… existing in their natural bodies. A woman could shipwreck onto an uninhabited island and she’d be the height of gender nonconformity. Stop treating natural female existence like it’s an active choice.
people will have BLM in their bios and yet be the first to resort to racist and anti black behavior the moment a black person tries to correct them. we’ll get branded as aggressive and uneducated. and there’s this assumption that we can’t be angry. that we have to be nice and hold non-blacks’ hands or some shit. it’s all very annoying
- Being misgendered purposely - Bullying - Physical fights - Verbal abuse and threats - Sexual harassment - Leaving home - No support - Friends as well as family disowning me - Being called a tr*nny. - Not being able to breathe or move because of dysphoria and binding. - Depression and anxiety. AND A FUCK TONNE MORE.
So please can all trenders stop saying “being trans is so great, I love it.” It isn’t fun at all, fuck off.
