#radfems do interact

LIVE

Knowing that there are quite a lot of children on that subreddit makes this meme even more disturbing tbh. No idea why they couldn’t have a button titled “therapy and self-love”.

Real question: do you all things like moods/temperament be genetic?

Knowing how my mother is, I wouldn’t doubt I got my easy anger and “willingness to fuck shit up” from my mother’s sperm donor. Don’t quite know how I feel about that though

i am sick and tired of seeing posts suggesting that both wearing the hijab and being half naked is empowering for women.
empowerment is “the giving or delegation of power or authority”.

the meaning of the hijab and other muslim coverings is the very definition of rape culture and victim blaming.
what power or authority does a woman get by wearing a symbol which suggests that she should cover her body so men won’t sexually assault her?

what power or authority does a woman get by wearing oversexualized clothes which are literally designed to satisfy the male gaze?
none. both panders to male desires. both is the exact opposite of empowerment and female liberation.

you are not woke or intersectional, you are rebranding misogynistic bullshit as empowerment.

i find it so weird when misogynists joke about how radical feminists are ugly and can therefore not get men to like them.
do they not realize that men literally fuck every living thing?

throwback to my awakening, autumn 2019.

i realized that radfems do not oppose sex positivity, they simply have their own version of it. that is why i do not feel like i belong anymore. i was triggered and insulted many times. i feel so misunderstood, offended, invisible and left behind because of my views on sexuality that i do not want anything to do with feminism anymore. i thought i had finally found something i belonged to, but i was wrong. so so so wrong.

What really irks me about TERFs and their concept of bio-essentialism is like: your views are just as bad as the patriarchal and systemic views of intersex people, which is so counterintuitive to their position as feminists.

If your stance on “"womanhood”“ is reliant on what part you have between your legs and it’s function you are literally just parroting the "woman are inherently different than men for biological reasons” that the system has been feeding you that you I would assume oppose.

Women ARE inherently different than men for biological reasons.

Women are physically weaker on average than men and the female reproductive system is designed to give birth. These two biological realities made women both easy to overpower, and the only way to create more men.

Feminine gender standards are designed to make women believe they are lesser and that their worth is determined by how sexually submissive and available they are to men or by how many children (especially sons) they can provide for men.

Femininity literally would not exist if women were just as strong as men, or if men could birth their own children.

That is why womanhood is not a gender identity. Womanhood is the state of being part of the oppressed sex, a person whose body parts make them easier to turn into profitable human property. Without feminine gender being imposed upon us, without men controlling, beating, raping, and killing us, we can be every bit as successful and capable as men are allowed to be.

This is why sex matters and gender should be abolished. Sex is the body, gender is the chains.

Hi all,

I’m really pleased to announce that the process of organising meetings outside of London has been successful so far. So, if you are a radical/rad-aligned/gender critical feminist, anywhere in the UK, who is interested in meeting other rad etc women (adult only) in real life, please message me.

Also, if you are based in or around London/the South East, and would be interested in meeting other rad etc women in a WOC-specific group, and/or and LGB-specific group, please get in touch too.

Getting offline, building communities, and talking to each other is the first step to change.

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Hi all,

OXFORD, ENGLAND

BRISTOL, ENGLAND

BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND

every time someone says “andrea dworkin was right about everything” i cringe inside. consider:

dworkin’s arguments against the reality of sex

dworkin’s homophobia (for as much as y’all talk about “woke homophobia” from TRAs, did you know dworkin shared these same beliefs?)

dworkin, pro bestiality

dworkin, pro incest

dworkin, pro pedophilia

so every time i hear “dworkin was right about everything” i know one of two things immediately. one, you haven’t actually read much dworkin. which is okay! two, you’re pro incest, bestiality, pedophilia, and homophobia. but i usually give people the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s the first.

** and a disclaimer before i get angry reblogs… where in this post have i criticized dworkin’s writing on pornography and prostitution? thank you.
