Do yourself a favour and start believing you deserve everything good in life and that nothing is out of reach for you.
I remember when I started to get radical, I was originally a really hardheaded libfem who started to think for myself, and do research.
I began by asking "why is the world the way it is?" I tried to find patterns in history, starting with my own experiences, to see what went wrong. If you've asked the same thing, this is what my thought process was!
Why does racism exist?
Patriarchy and racism were institutionalised through colonialism. Colonialism was heavily performed by European men.
Why am I poor?
class systems originated from male control over womyn's labour and reproduction. Once that happened, the patriarchal family became the foundation of wealth accumulation, with men passing resources to their male heirs. Leaving no room for workers to gain access to their wealth, especially Womyn who did not even have access to the labour of gaining their own wealth.
Why does religion exist? And why does it negatively impact minorities so much?
The patriarchy uses religion to enforce male authority of womyn, and brain washed us into believing we are serving God when we submit to men. When really we were never serving God, we were serving men.
Why does homophobia exist?
homophobia is a tool of patriarchy used to enforce gender roles and male dominance over womyn. In the patriarchy, womyn must be sexually and romantically available to men. Lesbianism and queerness threaten this system because they allow women to exist outside of male control.
Remember, ladies, everything is always connected. This is also why intersectionality is so important. We have to take a deep look at different people's experiences if we ever want to come close to dismantling the patriarchy.
I Have yet to see a good argument for sw
It logically makes no sense because this is the definition of consent
"oh well they technically consented because they said yes!!" Words extend basic meaning, the word coercion wouldn't exist in that case.
Sex = consensual sexual activity
Sex work = coerced sexual activity
Rape = non consensual
Sex = look 2 rows above this text
Sex work = rape
Sex worker = rape victim
It's very interesting to listen to history lectures that first say that there was no slavery at a certain period of time, and then follow it up with something like: "women didn't have the right to marry at their free will, property was passed down from father to son..." and so on.
you are absolutely sure that there was no slavery, right?

i cant get over it. why dont impoverished men choose to enter prostitution en masse?
a) „there are not enough women who want to buy sex so there is no market“
so you agree that prostitution is a system that mostly benefits men, as sex buyers? incheresting
b) „there are not enough women and they are not gay or bisexual“
so you agree that sex is not a service? the sexed body is the product? incheresting
c) „they have an easier time getting a job on the regular job market“
so you agree that prostitution profits from and reinforces misogyny? its not just a neutral job choice? incheresting
d) „they are often single mothers who need flexible work hours and get discriminated against on the job market“
oh so you again agree that prostitution profits from and reinforces misogyny? that single fathers are more rare and have better job opportunities? which pushes women into sexual exploitation? incheresting
e) „women dont have any other options“
so you agree that women are systematically groomed into prostitution, kept from exiting and kept from entering other fields where impoverished men find jobs? incheresting
f) „women choose prostitution over other options“
so you again agree that women are systematically groomed into prostitution, kept from exiting and kept from entering other fields where impoverished men find jobs? because why arent men choosing it if it offers such great benefits? incheresting
i just dont buy the „no alternatives“ argument. there are alternatives but impoverished women are systematically pushed into prostitution by their families and partners, by social workers and feminists telling them its a choice without questioning why men dont choose it, by employers who know this is a last resort for women and choose to employ men instead, and there is no pushback because the men as a class also profit from prostitution, as sex buyers and competitors on the regular job market.
and then we are being pitched that these women actually have no options? be for real
of course women will say its their choice if they are being told from all sides and are systematically kept from pursuing other options.
