Where's the "op is a TERF" energy whenever people see some "great" work of art or literature by a sexist man
to eliminate casual sexism, which is very present everywhere in the world. and why would i only be talking about western womyn?
if you look at history on a timeline, womyn only got our rights VERY recently. theres obviously still work to be done, just like with any other oppressed group
I would like to put out here that feminists (me) don’t hate men
We can certainly hate particular men. Just like we could hate particular women. It’s okay to be mad at bad people, whoever they are
The way I see it, feminism is about equal rights, being allowed the same opportunities regardless of gender, and generally just being normal
Maybe we should call it gender-equal-ist
Anyways, I don’t usually post anything too serious on here, it’s just it’s come to my attention that some people think all feminists are like ‘rahhhh we hate all menn’ and don’t realize that these people are a very small minority and/or are probably joking
I can advocate for gender equality without being radical
same thing with non-binary womyn. wanting to escape womynhood is so SO normal but basically no one in our world understands being a womyn means nothing but being an adult human female. not conforming to sexist assumptions and stereotypes doesnt make you not a womyn
I wonder if women who identify as men see males as the "basic, default person" in a way. TIFs dysphoria sometimes begins with discomfort toward their breasts because they've been sexualized, or the trauma inherent in puberty and getting their period, or the expectation to wear makeup or objectifying clothing - and then they think, "Well, men don't have breasts or periods. They don't have to wear makeup or clothes like that."
I wonder if it's less about truly "feeling like a male" and more about seeing the male as the standard person who does not have all these additional problems and expectations and identifying with that.
I feel a bit iffy about young kids in radblr spaces, so I just wanted to come in and say I hope you stay safe. Radfems get a bunch of death and rape threats. Apart from that, there are a lot of very grotesque topics we discuss that can be triggering for a sensitive audience.
I also recommend turning off anons. People feel way more comfortable being unapologetically hateful when they don't have to directly link their profile.
💯 turning off anons now! probably shouldve a while ago
There is no way of truly knowing that the porn you consume is as "ethical" as it claims to be. Are you 100% sure that the actors haven't been trafficked? Do you know for certain that the performers are of age? Do you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that there is no abuse, coercion, or exploitation going on behind the scenes?
Just because something is marketed as "ethical" or "feminist", doesn't mean that it actually is.
average radfem post about trans people: the ideology is wrong, it’s bioessentialist, most tims r rapists, etc…
average trans person post about radfems: TERF SHOULD KILL THEMSELVES, IM GOING TO RAPE THEM AND MAKE THEM LIKE MY GIRLCOCK, I HAVE FANTASIES ABOUT RAPING AND KILLING THEM, THEY ARE SO STUPID, THEY ARE SO UGLY AND SUCH BITCHES!!!!
your identity is based solely on gender stereotypes.
If a woman points out a boy is wearing a skirt by calling it girl's clothing, ask them if they realize they are wearing men's clothing and stare at their pants.
Seriously. How is this still a topic. They're just clothes!
any gender assigned is arbitrary and you're just mad that you're not as pretty as them.
Hey, with how young you are I just want to say please be careful online, especially on Tumblr. In general I don’t recommend kids your age be on social media because of the high risk of bullying and grooming and it’s kind of more risky if you’re on the political side. Remember that you never owe anyone your time or space, you have a right to boundaries and to say no to anyone at any time for any reason. Block anyone without guilt and with gusto and if there are any trusted adults in your life, tell them if someone’s making you do anything or makes you feel unsafe. Good luck out there kid
i appreciate you :)
if the definition of "womyn" is "an adult human person with a desire to be in accordance with the particular set of cultural and social norms typically associated with the female sex",
what are the things associated with us that youre talking about? thats just a fancy way of upholding gender stereotypes.
further, if a womyn from an area/time that still views womyn as property said she wanted to be in accordance with how the MALE sex is treated in her society to escape her oppression, would that make her transgender?
would that make her less of a womyn?
