War as a concept is like if you asked a 5 year old what their solution to political disagreements would be. Uhm so every country has a bunch of big strong fighters and when the countries get into arguments they fight about it and the biggest and strongest one is the winner and also they are then the good guys. Goo goo ga ga I will now eat a lego brick
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.
I think about your post about women’s feminist views coming from a place of genuinely loving men a lot.
radfeminism in general comes from a place of wanting to reform men and convince them to be niceys because women cannot let go of their love for them and honestly genuinely truly want to be loved back. and the tryhard misandry comes from a place of hurt, the realization that men view them as subhuman even though they crave their affection, respect and attention like nothing else - while desperately wanting to be treated as an equal. this is why they willingly and readily abandon both when the right nigel comes along lol they think that their nigel is different and that they themselves are different because they're experiencing it firsthand and their experiences are real, unlike everyone else's. but that's to be expected in a hetero society, no amount of politics will ever keep women and men from each other
If you are young do not be swayed by the whole "identity" shitck. It is a mumbo jumbo word salad to make people feel special, it is purely egoic, nonsensical, and sometimes fandom induced grown up play pretend. Notice how EVERYTHING has become an identity? Mental illness (sometimes physical), sex, sexuality... It all implies that this thing here, yeah, that thing? It can be identified into, you can "become" it on a knee jerk reaction and NOBODY will (at least in their fantasies) question it. And so far this is how it is! Combine it with internet shushing everyone up for questioning the validity of the said identities with threats of accusing them of being problematic and justifying wrong identification as "soul searching" or "exploration" and here you have it! Perfect business plan!
Not to mention how this whole thing has taken off with mental illness, and it becoming a new identity, a shiny, new, fresh, counter culture and subversive label you can PROUDLY wear for no reason. The only "gross" symptoms people managed to normalise were not being able to get up from bed and wash yourself, two of which are very easy to fake. Some people, and you have to admit it at this point, use the whole mental health awareness thing as new technique to learn new ways of manipulation and faking it. And if you question ANYTHING you are ableist. The whole "Men go to therapy to manipulate better" is true, but it also applies to a bunch of people here.
you can't say you don't respect someone's opinions because they post big titty anime girl hentai anymore. The woke mob cancels you, they call you a puritan, etc. When they're clearly an unserious individual
have you ever seen that post where someone called out how simone de beauvoir was trafficking young girls and a radfem reblogged it to write this long drawn out post on how simone was actually the real victim in the situation, with not a peep about the girls she helped victimize
And I still remeber that. I also remeber the backlash i got when I made the post :)
These women don't give a shit about the well being of girls.
Time and again I have seen them defend misogynist women and not hold hem accountable because of some stupid concept of solidarity that they don't even know about.
"supporting women's rights and wrongs" doesn't even sound funny at this point.
You are true anon. These radblrinas defend their dead idols over the well-being of women.. Mary dale was very homophobic and still her texts are passed around. Andrea dworkin's texts on lesbians opened my eyes on how lesbophobic she is. And no one batted an eye.
But what I seem to notice is that this solidarity doesn't seem to extend for lesbians, woc and marginalised women.
They hate gay males for misogyny but find their bfs misogyny cute.
They write posts "Avg white male is less misogynistic than avg man in middle east" "Afghan men hated women, so they established Taliban" while their western gov actively supplied funds for terrorist organisations and de stabalised the middle east.
Their sympathy extends only for women who uphold oppression.
Call me a puritan or a label me a misogynist, but I don't care about a woman's "human need" to sleep with multiple strange men. To me, it's just as selfish and reckless as men hopping from woman to woman creating children that will end up unloved or abandoned. I'm first and foremost an antinatalist at heart and the "sexual liberation" movement is a major detriment to society and the children that spawn from it. Especially when these men are literally telling you, "I don't care about you or any baby that results from this exchange; I just want to use your body for my pleasure".
These feel-good feminist and their drivel are just as harmful as any other religious figurehead.
Preaching about mother yoniverse and her fertile womb raining down abundance on women is the same as the pastor telling his followers how god will reward them for doing nothing.
Same mind fuck, different language and audience.
If it's not actually changing the conditions of your life you need to throw the shit away. It's useless. You'll end up impoverished with a big ego, what good is that?
"Female empowerment" is useless if it isn't actually giving you the tools to gain economic success and power. You're lying if you think that shit isn't important.
