I just know that if the suffragettes were around today, you would all be telling them to ‘be kind’
i don't understand it when radfems/leans reblog or post content of super femmed-up women, usually celebs, like ... this is all the stuff radfems are criticizing and against because it harms women, do you really still find it aesthetically pleasing?? am i the crazy one for being confused?? i don't want to just straight up accuse so many people of being hypocrites but i really do not get it

A lot of people don’t learn terms, they decide what they mean based on vibes and then will argue to the death that their definition they make up is correct. All the dictionaries in the world at your fingertips and social media has made people this lazy and complacent. Not every word is a slang term you can learn by vibes alone
I sometimes feel betrayed, concerned, in disbelief, and even disgusted with women's willful participation in patriarchy, but I am working on that. A day will come when I no longer care about any of it. From that moment on, it won't even register to me anymore. I will have accepted I was never truly owed sisterhood, nor is there a point in building it when you realise that the majority of women are deviants themselves, trapped in heated heterosexual foreplay.
Sisterhood comes across as a euphemism for labour from childfree women who are either in homosexual relationships or are celibate while the majority of women offer nothing to help those women's broken backs. They're more likely to drop a drawer of knives on their backs, really. It's not something I want to be a part of. Even among women, sisterhood is to sacrifice yourself for women who cater to males or have failed catering to males but learned nothing from it.
One day when I happen to see their struggle amongst themselves in endless cycles of empty words, cute slogans, and briefly trending hashtags while they continue loving men, regardless of how many times they prove unsalvageable, I'll not feel emotional about it at all anymore. And I will be a happier woman for it.
Everyone makes exceptions, that’s why the world remains the same. “Can you believe we elected a sexual predator as president?” I can, because the same people complaining, sleep next to one themselves every night. Oh I forgot, your husband’s “barely legal teen” search history doesn’t count. He’s not really dangerous, he’s still one of the good ones.
Know that almost every individual on Earth is doing the exact same thing. Excusing those closest to them, no matter how horrific and depraved. Mentally ill sex addicts are the majority on this planet because everyone serves and worships them. As long as you’re related to, or make the masses feel good, they’ll look the other way.
“Children are being exploited!” They sure are, and it’s being done by the people around you. Why should everyone else live up to a moral code you don’t uphold yourself? Weak minded selfish egomaniacs are a danger to themselves and others, so they insist there’s a thousand rules and restrictions set in place to keep things “safe.” Guess who’s left to “enforce such things? People who are no different than them, ready to bend the rules whenever they see fit.
Adults get exactly what they ask for. It’s unfortunate that children must also suffer consequences, but that’s the fault of their parents. Endorsing humanity’s abusive system is a sign of support. You co-sign with your words and actions every single day. Very few people have real reason to be upset about the state of the world, those individuals being TRULY horrified at what this place represents.
Indulging sometimes and then repenting is still acceptance. Criticizing others while condoning your own behavior is a vote to keep the status quo. Participating in the game but becoming upset when you lose is nobody else’s fault. Protecting predators is partaking in abuse. Believing otherwise creates cognitive dissonance, which adds to the collective destruction around us.
Be who you say you are.
theres a phenomenon that happens on here i have been calling "normalize loving parents posting" which is when you spend a lot of time on tumblr and are exposed to a lot of one specific counter-cultural narrative day in and day out until you start to forget what the dominant ideas are for most of the human population and thus feel the need to "defend" things that are widely accepted and popular. it's called this because of the time a bunch of text posts about shitty dads were circulating and then people with good relationships with their dad didn't feel included enough and started making "uhmmm can we normalize loving parents? not everyone has a deadbeat dad, MY dad is great" type posts, seemingly forgetting that good relationship with dad is a cultural norm that is expected and encouraged. i think its good practice, especially when im annoyed, to stop before i hit the post button and ask myself if this is a real issue or if im normalize loving parents posting. because often im about to try to normalize loving parents
A lot of animals don't breed when the conditions will be unfavourable to the baby. Some human pregnancies I see these days, I'm just like wow rodents beat you at thinking......
Women will complain about abortion bans and being treated like breeding mules but these same women (who are most likely moms) will shut down conversations that childfree women attempt to have about our experiences.
I stay within childfree spaces. I follow mostly childfree women on social media. I don't go online looking for spaces where mothers are talking about their experiences because I don't care.
However, whenever I go into the comment section of a childfree woman's post I see a lot of mothers commenting. Some of them criticizing, some giving backhanded compliments or their motherly approval nobody asked for, but what I find most interesting is how they will talk amongst themselves within the comments on posts or pages that are geared towards childfree women.
They know who's reading these posts, they know it's predominantly childfree looking for support or a place to share our experience being childfree. But still, I see comments along the lines of: "yeah yeah being childfree is great BUT LADIES CAN WE PLEASE DISCUSS THE BEAUTY OF MOTHERHOOD? ☺️"
Women police other women back into the roles that they simultaneously bitch about.
Whining about motherhood and how hard it is to a man but if a woman says she's childfree and wants fuck all to do with kids then she'll weaponize her societal status of mom to size up that woman and try to make her seem lesser.
It's passive aggressive and attention seeking behavior.
I believe the myth that anger turns you into the people/person that abused you was created to keep women placated and in a position where we are never fully able to take ownership of their own rage because, according to that myth, that makes you just as bad as your abusers. Please be a hater and angry till the day you die. WHAT THEY DID WAS NEVER OKAY AND IT NEVER WILL BE.
