men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day
wait... they went after hipster beers?
girl yes of course 💖
radfem accs i used to lurk on have begun following me and it has me nervous i hope im cool enough for you ladies 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
"Women only started working very recently so a woman's place is the house-" shut up and feast your eyes at old photos of women from around the world doing physical labor only for them to return home and solely care for 5-10 children and the elderly parents of their husband.
Greek women represent:
These photos show Greek women doing the type of physical labor they would perform more often than not. At the luckiest working conditions for rural women (aka most of the country) they would start working the fields as children and when they got older they would work the same fields with their own babies on their backs.
On the way home from the fields, sometimes the women would carry the wood and the mule would carry the man so he could rest.
Of course, we can talk about the manual labor that is rubbing cloth and metal for hours on end, chopping and carrying wood to light a fire for a large cauldron your size, and stirring it for hours.
But we can also talk about how it wasn't for them to break and carry rocks in baskets for the making of new roads. They would gather salt, olives, and grapes and carry them on large baskets filled to the brim. For salt they carried thirty kilos each trip, doing fifty trips each, stepping shoeless on the grains of salt.
Carrying water was also their job, often moving large barrels with all the water a house of 10 needed upon hills that horses and mules had trouble ascending.
(more photos for salt mining and carrying here)
It's no hyperbole to say these women carried their incomes and households on their backs. "The good she-housekeeper is a slave and a lady" the old Greek saying goes. A "good woman" was a woman who could be strong and work at home and in the field, often described with the qualities of a mule. Men took their wives out in the fields so much that some who were a bit more educated had to make their husbands sign that they wouldn't ask them to work alongside them in the fields! (source in Greek)
Some of these photos are also from 1970. I'm missing a photo from Leukada showing women carrying baskets of the stones they broke, and I'll add it here when I find it.
Basically, women were out of the house forever. A woman who got to stay home and never perform any labor had some type of privilege (wealth, status etc). Same as the many privileged men around the world who didn't perform any labor at all.

If my posts have helped you in any way consider buying me a ko-fi 💖
Also the significant cutting of the federal workforce and privatization, both Hitler and Mussolini did the same. They also promised the whole "making government more efficient" thing and removed useful regulations.
Also they're stopping research on whatever they deem useless or against their views (like climate change) and removing info about women and POC from government websites. Very similar to the book burning.
But yeah god forbid we call a spade a spade I guess.
American freedom amiright?
today I learned that a Chinese woman named Chien-Shiung Wu proved quantum entanglement before anyone else. have I ever read about her in the pop physics books I read? no. this makes me so mad but also that's fucking awesome
pardon my french but the attempting to conflate radfems with the political right is the dumbest fucking thing. like yes, conservatives LOVE socialist radical lesbians who are pro choice, anti nuclear family, pro separatists, anti gender roles. right wingers love witches who are gay and exclude men. jesus fucking christ
Idk but generally that is not how radical feminism works.
Wasn't the whole "scientific proof" of transgender identities being that trans people supposedly have a brain wired like the opposite sex (or I guess for nonbinary people, just atypically)? I saw that notion all over the place and actually believed it for some time. How else can it be innate if it's not related to brain structure/chemistry?
You can acknowledge gendered socialization being a thing and still prioritize educating women over men. It's much less of a uphill battle since feminism is already in women's interest more. If it benefited men equally, I don't doubt that radfems would put as much effort in educating men.
I would also think about separatism and the 4B movement kind of like a strike as well.
And still dude, what are you proposed solutions? Completely dodged that one.
We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful
deadass how are you gonna be a right-winger on Tumblr lmao Loser behavior fr
Most feminists didn't want that actually, yet because of feminist efforts, we could if we wanted to. Misogynists say they can live without women, yet mens' health tends to get better after marriage and women's gets worse. and if you think feminists didn't do anything, and that women now making up 50% of the workforce and having mostly equal legal rights to men is insignificant, then you're a dumbass, plain and simple.
A woman is an adult female human
lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?
I'm an 18 yo womanI'm a socialist and radical feminist and I will post about these topics a lotNo DNI but I will roast you if you deserve itkanrade #2 ☭✯☭
