i don’t want to hear about ur “feminism” if u actively talk over & mock woc when we ask u to not be racist in feminist spaces. i don’t want to hear about ur “feminism” if u actively talk over & mock lesbians when we ask u not to be lesbophobic in feminist spaces. one crucial aspect to achieving female liberation is first forming female class consciousness and solidarity, and racism & lesbophobia get in the way of forming global female solidarity. yes this is still the case even when u pretend ur racism only selectively applies to men
Regardless, that's an excuse for a 13 yr old's behavior, this is a 50 yr old man with 200 billion dollars and the White House in his pocket any normal person would be immediately fired for doing the shit he does
maybe just maybe people don't think that elon musk is a Nazi when he is saying "jews control all the money and want to kill white people" is because the internet has collectively watered down the meaning of "nazi" so intensely that actual Naziism flies under the radar. after years and years of grammar nazi and feminazi and "everyone that disagrees with me is a nazi," the term Nazi has lost any and all meaning, so now real Nazis dont seem as scary and violent as they really are. so now, since everyone has the connotation of "a nazi is someone that corrects me, or a feminist, or someone that rudely disagrees with me on the internet," actual Nazis can fully admit who they are and no one takes it seriously because they think they're just internet trolls
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
Yeah of course pessimism is understandable and I am aware of this, but making pessimism into an ideology and basically giving up is kind of useless. Yes it is getting worse in some aspects for now, but overall it's been getting better in many places due to feminist activism.
I'm talking about people who have essentially made "the patriarchy is eternal and natural" their political beliefs and call themselves feminist because they're upset about it.
It's also kind of amazing how this is the post that pissed feminists off lmao. What should I say, "the patriarchy is the natural state of the world and women will never succeed"? like come on
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?
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
Sure but that doesn't mean an argument that is just "this thing is old and thus good" isn't a conservative mindset. I still stand by my point of the idea of "this is what always happened" being a conservative mentality.
So, does the choice of being raped vs starvation really seem consensual and not dubious at all to you? What about, say a boss that withholds raises for sex? Also, sex work is unnecessary labor and exploitive/painful for the vast majority of workers, so what is the reason to keep it? I am against constant consumerist buying and sweatshops and child labor as well to be clear for similar reasons, it's unnecessary and worsens exploitation. Does stigmatizing buying off of Shein hurt sweatshop workers in your opinion? I don't think sex workers should be punished either to be clear, I think johns and pimps should, and sex workers should be helped back into professions that don't require getting raped daily you know.
I think a few surveys, but it is true that there's not much data on that specifically. There's quite a lot of data on rates of violence, sexual and not and it's like 50%. When I look it up, most of the statistics from surveying SWers are like 80-95% wanting to leave though.
Sure but wanting something to continue to exist because it's old is by definition conservative. If you want it to exist for some other reason DESPITE it being old then ok that's not. I still disagree regardless.
Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive
Pick a fucking side
I made a "which mutual am I" thing so here you go💥💥💥
This was fun to make actually :]
Often, men will say something like : "Who built this world? Men! Who created everything, all the technology, the great art, the culture, our societies? Who built the roads you drive on? Men!" and feminists will respond "That's because you didn't let us work or make art!" and... that's just wrong? Why are you validating the idea that women didn't contribute anything to the world? That we didn't work? That we didn't innovate? And why are you approving the nonsense that says being a mother is not work?
Don't let men rewrite history.
Women have always worked the double shift; outside of home and inside of home.
