If eyeliner grants women more power, why does it not grant men more power? Who is granting women power when they wear eyeliner? Why? What kind of power is it?
If eyeliner is worn almost entirely by women and wearing eyeliner "sharp enough to kill a man" is feminist, which specific feminist issue does eyeliner tackle (menstrual health, sexual harassment, medical misogyny, domestic violence shelters)?
How does eyeliner liberate you from the patriarchy (not make you feel good, liberate you ― there's a difference)?
Ppl will be like “end the stigma around mental illness uwu” but still judge you if you’re unemployed or single or not completely self-sufficient or healthy or perfectly groomed or still live with parents and don’t see the hypocrisy in that whatsoever

christianity will be like, nooo, don't worship life-giving nature, thousand year old trees or mountains or sources of clean water or animals that existed long before us, or women who created all human life on earth, those are just resources! Don't learn about the medicinal plants or how to safely deliver children and cure women's diseases, that's devil's business!
... this m*n we nailed we sadistically nailed on a stick and let slowly die, tho... thats D I V I N E

the entire argument of men being oppressed under patriarchy due to them being expected to be strong and assertive is so easily debunked when you realize that they’re not expected to be that way, they’re just automatically assumed to be. women under patriarchy are forced into proving their submission and sensuality through subscribing to the lifestyle meanwhile even the most meek men are simply assumed to be smarter and better as leaders simply due to their sex. masculine stereotypes are not oppression, they’re privilege.
Radical feminists should not be allowed to post about Marsha P. Johnson. She did not wear being a woman like a costume; she embraced it with her life. She gave to the community until she died. If you can look at Marsha P. Johnson and not take trans people seriously, you don't have the right to talk about us like a serious issue you know about. You wouldn't know a thing.
Why should we not talk about it? This way no one could talk about any topic, isn't it right? Just simple logic. If you look up, because there're plenty of evidence, Marsha P. Johnson was a drag queen, so a MAN that dress as a woman for entertainment. He never claimed to be a woman because he identified himself as gay, so a man attracted to other men. Just a simple research on internet and you can find anything you want :)
Us radfems do plenty of researches, but trans people never try to find (they just ignore) the real definition of woman.
1966 - not even 60 years ago. She’s still alive today.
Important notes:
Italy was very predominantly Christian, which had heavy influence on their legal system.
Women were basically told no one would ever love them, marry them, have kids with them, take care of them, etc. if they were “used up”.
Men’s crimes were forgiven if the woman married him.
"radical feminism helps patriarchy stay in power" yeah.. you're right being pro abortion, anti porn, anti sw, anti beauty standards helping patriarchy very well.
and sticking to gender stereotypes which patriarchy loves, denying same sex attraction and sending women death and rape threats is probably very anti patriarchy
if you try looking for a post using the tumblr search function it will never show up. but you know what will? a reader x character fic
this might piss off even some beloved mutuals who I respect and adore, but it is unbelievably aggravating seeing animal welfare issues equated as feminism. things can be different and still important. things can be related and still separate things. the harm that comes to female animals doesn't have to be a priority to a woman who is devoting her life to abortion, domestic abuse, or the political autonomy of women, or other human women and children issues.
