I really dislike radfems hating on asexuals. Not desiring sex is deviant from what is expected of society, whether among the right or the left (yes, even among radfems and it's quite obvious). There's a level of sex negativity that is encouraged in these spaces (don't have sex with men), but people taking it further upsets you (because you're a woman with the same desire for sex as the men you dislike). I will always support asexuality and acespec identities. If you want sex positivity in any form and don't want those "annoying asexuals" to bother you, just go outside. Stop acting like your stance on sex is not a mainstream opinion
the antifeminism of men comes from the oppression they exert, the antifeminism of women comes from the oppression we suffer.In no way can feminists see antifeminist men and antifeminist women as the same, nor can they call the latter their enemies. Antifeminist women are not separated from us by objective interests but by false consciousness. Furthermore, false consciousness does not really separate us because we have all had it, and we all still have at least some of it. It is our common enemy. When we are struggling against their 'opinions, we are not struggling against antifeminist women, but against this common enemy >XYS
It's pointless to hate liberal feminists (no matter how annoying and insufferable they are we must redirect our hate to these parasitic xys who aim to divide us all)
Tired of posts where people are imagining a world in which ppl who don’t want kids are super mean to real individual children and then freaking out about it
Like there is actually a group that is statistically quite likely to abuse and belittle children and that group is called parents lol
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. 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 men who murder women get a slap on the wrist and sometimes even walk free. 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 people regularly and knowingly vote rapists and pedophiles into office. 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 rapists aren’t charged with rape. 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 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 97% of the people who sexually abuse 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 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 unusual or extreme reaction to a world where terrorism, shootings, hate crimes, strangulations and arsons are typically committed by 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.
There is an ongoing literacy crisis. Teach kids how to read phonetically (other methods produce poor literacy) and introduce them to fun books, both fiction and educational non-fiction.
Teach kids about critical thinking and the scientific method.
You can also introduce kids to edutainment like Sesame Street, Reading Rainbow, The Magic Schoolbus, Bill Nye The Science Guy, Beakman's World, etc.
Help kids develop media literacy skills by asking them literary analysis questions about the media they engage with. Even very young children can begin learning literary analysis if the questions are phrased in words they can understand.
Learn and help other people learn information literacy, ie, how to locate and evaluate information.
Learn the red flags of pseudoscience, and educate other people about them.
Educate people and share media on real science and real history, because fascist narratives are full of pseudoscience and pseudohistory. (Miniminuteman, Gutsick Gibbon and Bart D. Ehrman's YouTube channel are great, by the way!)
Make learning a joyful experience, and show people the beauty and wonder of what's real. Being a discouraging killjoy will spoil your efforts.
Honestly the 'women should have a right to choose' thing is baffling in the same way that it was when pro Makeup and Shaving Women said it. The BPers and separatists have no political power they're not personally going to destroy the male fucking industry and take their boyfriends from them by force.
They know we have no power. They just hate being reminded of their cognitive dissonance and not being coddled.
Women who protect dangerous men are almost as dangerous as the men they protect. There are women who know their husbands/brothers/fathers have committed sex crimes against women, and stay silent in the presence of other women. They don’t warn other women of their male relatives’ predatory behavior, allowing their pervy male relatives to get close to women who don’t know any better.
“Not every person has the right to be a parent” is a sentiment I feel is widely accepted in leftist circles, referring largely to abusive households. But this doesn’t get taken to condemn surrogacy and egg-donating industries. Like Jesus Christ why do most leftists not care about this flavor of stuff when it financially exploits women, and subjects them to unnecessary harm? All just because it means infertile women and homosexual couples can have a different way to have children to raise? What happened to “having children isn’t a guaranteed right” Of course I know it’s because of misogyny, but good grief.
