Almost a year ago I got my "dream job" of working at Sephora. I had already began reading a lot of rad fem literature by the time I got there.
10 years ago I would have loved it but by the time I was working there I was already aware of the dystopian nightmare it really is.
It was one thing to help someone find a basic skin care routine to calm their skin but when we had to push certain products.
To make the sales goals you had to look at a woman's face and slowly ask and press them on their flaws and suggest the magic product that would help them.
I did it for one day, I killed it on the sales floor. I could not sleep that night and had already began drafting my resignation letter.
When I grew up, drag full face glam was popular but now it was the "no makeup, clean girl" look and I had to help girl find foundations that would hide their flaws.
Their flaws were either
1. Natural human function of the largest organ we have
2. Cover up the damage they were continuing to do with all the latest products.
I pleaded with parents to not buy little girls skin care than I knew would destroy their skin barriers. But isn't that the point? So when they grow up they need products to help cover up or heal the damage they have caused.
They paid so little I couldn't even afford most of the products in the store even with my discount.
We would have to clap when told we made the company billions of dollars in profits.
It really pushed home the oppressive costume that is "femininity".
I have a lot more to say but I'm droning now.
But I have to say I understand now why people do not want to engage with radical feminism because it "ruins" everything. Everywhere you look you realize the psyops being ran to keep woman consuming and enjoying their bonds.

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?
YESSS WE HAVE HOPE
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?
There's nothing more to being a human than having a human body either. That doesn't mean that someone who is a human is nothing other than their body or has no personality.
And really I wonder. Did they say "being a vagina" or "having a vagina"? Pretty big difference. Like "having 2 legs" or "being 2 legs".
If you can only view female people as vaginas or some creepy shit, that's not radical feminisms' fault.
Define woman
Why
Just like @otakuvampyre is doing ironically
giving up on the "patriarchy hurts men too" gambit, i thought it might work when i saw laci green do it ten years ago but it has run its course and id like to start telling men that patriarchy overwhelmingly benefits them again
Again not a slur. At worst it's like SJW.
you're so chauvinistic it's actually kind of hilarious that you brand yourself as progressive
Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism
Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"
reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"
Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?
Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share
LMAO LITERALLY
Men will say the most vile shit about her and she's usually right honestly. Like yes we do need to do something about climate change and capitalism. God forbid she worded a speech in a slightly cringe way in 2015 though (it wasn't actually as cringe as cons make it out to be though, they cherrypick) Also I swear she roasted Andrew Tate once too LMAO
and I thought I was chronically online... that was fast lmfao
Obsessed much?
I'm not sending feet pics stalker boy
Ex-trans man again, I just have to come back to ask one last thing: how can you "stomp on my womb" when I had it removed? I had a hysterectomy due to my dysphoria – why would you assume otherwise?
Aw, I bet you must feel like a defective female :( how can you be a good little vagina if you don’t even have a womb?
It’s okay. We’ll just stomp out your bowels or something. Less climactic, but it’ll do.
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 ☭✯☭
