Basing "feminism" and "praxis" on being a "girl's girl" or emphasizing "sorority" instead of critical analysis of female opression, which includes the criticism of certain women (madames in brothels, abusive mothers, female bullies, female sexual predators), was counterproductive.
It's a staple of this "feminism" to think of women's opression in feelings terms. It's bad because it makes you sad, or dysphoric, or desperate, or angry and therefore the solution is feelings based: you need to feel better, happier aka empowered. Which makes the fight for representation and diversity in media a crucial issue, for example.
Even issues in which legal protections should be emphazised, the usian utilitarianism twists them into feeling based "i dont feel safe around men in bathrooms".
The usamerican utilitarian basis (which priorizes happiness maximization) corrupts every ideology or political movement that steps a foot in the USA.
"Choice feminism" aka "liberal feminism" which is simply american misogyny spreads like fire thanks to its compatibility with fast and catchy slogans. Usian propaganda aka advertising and utilitarianism are totally compatible therefore usian misogyny is easily shared in social media, platforms made for marketing purposes.
Blaming women for any part of their oppression is misogynistic. Yes women are the guard dogs of the patriarchy, but because their life is on the line if they don't
.
Every dumb ass post on here about men having soft bellies or whatever has the same energy as every other dumbass and constant defense of men. If you are falling over yourself to defend men, imaginary or real, you’re just another schill for the patriarchy, and whatever equipment and pronouns you have just tell everyone to what degree you hate yourself or if it’s just self-serving bullshit
Where were these men and their little pills bury bellies when Roe v Wade was overturned? Where are these sad little soft boys when women are getting assaulted in town halls? Where are these delicate little ferrets when it comes time to protect our right to vote?
Either still imaginary or waiting for women to take care of them I guess
Male positivity posts on this website are both useless and fucking insulting. Men hold 65% of the world’s wealth and account for 99% of rapes. What do they need your positivity for?
There is a word for pumping up somebody over and over who shits on everyone else. It’s called enabling.
Anyways I hope all men on the spectrum from hard to soft either start showing up for women, go to a secret undersea incel bunker where they will never contact humans again, or end their lifetimes and give their carbon energy back to Mother Earth in restitution
Just like women don’t owe straight men sex, men don’t owe straight women romance either. So many “radfems” are bitter that their romantic fantasies are basically impossible upon their realizations about male nature. Except the universe never promised them that. Disney and romcoms did.
Exactly, but both sexes resent each other for not embodying the other’s fantasy. Men are mad that all the women they find sexually desirable don’t throw themselves at them, and women become upset when they realize “romance” is just a performance. Men want whores, and women want Prince Charming. They’re incompatible at their cores, which is why men aren’t even attracted to women in their natural state, and mothers have to guard children from their own fathers. It’s a delusional, perverse, and selfish power play that’s done for physical and emotional release. They truly are stupid, and make it everyone else’s problem.
Western women are weak.
The 'womanhood is based on biology, not behavior' gang getting ready to call anyone who's too abrasive, uses bad language or even just doesn't agree with them a secret male.
TRUE. So they're saying being honest and analytical is male behavior then. Interesting.
The second most common accusation after "male" for women who criticize them is "lesbian," which really says a lot as well about who they see as a problem.
"being traumatized made me funnier!" no you just say out of pocket shit and people laugh as a stress response
It’s sad that participating in a movement as simple as 4B, a movement that merely requires an inaction that will keep women safe, is considered difficult, unusual or extreme.
4B is the bare minimum and women doing anything less than 4B shouldn’t be considered feminists.
If you’re not doing 4B, you should be ashamed, not only are you hurting yourself by dating or marrying men, you’re hurting everyone else around you too.
If your boyfriend or husband becomes violent, it won’t only be you that has to deal with the violence, your family, potential children and potential pets may face it too.
Even in a best case scenario situation in which your boyfriend or husband never becomes violent and is kind to you, you’re being a horrible example to any girls looking up to you, you wouldn’t get blackout drunk in front of a child, would you? No, you wouldn’t. So don’t normalize dating oppressors or act as if heterosexual relationships are typically healthy either, most heterosexual relationships are toxic, and like I said previously, even if what we’re talking about here is a best case scenario and your man is decent, there is still an inherent power imbalance between men and women, meaning no heterosexual relationship can be considered healthy.
Now, repeat after me:
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world in which femicide is common worldwide, even in the most “progressive” countries. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world in which most murdered women and girls are murdered by a male family member, boyfriend, husband or son.

- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world where women are forced to wear the hijab and refusal to comply means risking beatings and even death. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world in which millions of women and girls have had their genitals mutilated and were killed due to infection that came from the unclean equipment used to slice up their genitals. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world in which virginity testing is still a thing. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme response to a world where abortion is banned, causing both maternal and infant mortality rates to climb exponentially. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme response to a world that wants to restrict or ban access to birth control. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme response to a world that wants to erase women and discourage us from talking about our oppression. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme response to a world where baby girls are discarded in trash cans because they happened to be girls. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme response to a world where over 99% of the people who sexually abuse children are men. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.

- 4B is not an unusual or extreme response to a world where over 99% of poachers are men. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world where the majority of people who physically abuse or kill animals are men. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.

- 4B is not an unusual or extreme reaction to a world currently going through a mass extinction event due to men polluting this planet and forcing women to reproduce, to the point this planet is becoming so overpopulated, we are running out of resources. You’re just used to women staying silent and accepting mistreatment, even though it’s justified for us to lash out since we’re treated like garbage.
4B is an amazing, merciful movement, it’s the opposite of what men and anti-feminist women paint it out to be. 4B will undoubtedly save lives if enough women do it. Every baby not born is one less baby that will be an oppressor or victim. Every baby not born is one less baby that will contribute to climate change, meaning that neither babies or adults will have to suffer in the future due to a lack of resources.
