I love how people gleefully remark on how 'Oh haha childhood traumas make adult kinks!' And no one thinks to say hey then maybe they're symptoms of trauma than encourage this shit.

FR, they're so much worse for you than helpful. These things will CAUSE the yeast infection

call us ugly to sell us shit!

Honestly I think automation will make socialism inevitable like how the industrial revolution led to the rise of capitalism and liberalism

Ice flowers in Norway.

It is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the seas of the polar regions. The flowers are formed from water vapor that escapes from cracks in the thin layer of surface ice. When these vapors come into contact with the cold air, they crystallize.

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

In the end, its really just a tool for the ruling class to create artificial demand and has always kind of been like that, especially for larger corporations.

Sadly they were basically never honest, they used to say cigarettes are good for your health.

I’m fine with the original concept of honest advertisement but we hardly ever see that anymore and I’m so disgusted by what its turned into that I feel absolutely no remorse in reporting every single ad as offensive or inappropriate. I actually find them all deeply offensive and inappropriate thank you very much

When did I ever say they will just "give it up"? We didn't get whatever rights we have now because they just gave it up. Don't discredit 20th century feminists like that. They rioted for our rights and were often successful in various ways.

Patriarchy isn't some natural state of the world either.

I think that patriarchy will end for the simple reason that men are not superior to women.

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?

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

Yet... The most successful capitalist is one of the dumbest and most immature people in the world.

And Einstein supported socialism just saying.

Only the lowest IQs support communism. That's why they insist idiots are just as good as geniuses. They are idiots who believe no one is better than them.

These are literally so accurate though as an engineering student holy shit There's a dude in my class who basically moans when he gets answers right in class and brags 24/7. Annoying is an understatement. Also hearing these men talk kinda condescendingly to the women in class is the worst feeling ever because I want to walk over and tell them off but it's also not appropriate so 😭

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart

like ok we can all solve differential equations but can you do that while being a decent person? mm yeah didn't think so

So what is your point exactly?

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

A lot of people do and have used that as a scientific proof. Again, how else can be considered innate? Regardless, perpetuating those societal roles is still problematic though, even if some people don't have a bioessentialist take.

"Women are already more drawn to feminism" yeah I mean that's kinda the point in why trying to encourage women to be feminist activists is more likely to be successful. Men don't really have a big reason to be feminist. Trying to change feminism to cater to men is also often counterintuitive.

Male socialization also doesn't just end by going and telling men not to be misogynists. I am not sure the exact ways to end that at this moment since it's pretty complex, I would guess it would be gradual as social standards are changing and if children are raised differently.

And, well I mean feminism activism has existed for like 200 years and made strides, so we do indeed have action plans. I also laid out specific policies and reasons as well, which many feminist groups are working towards. But sure I guess feminists don't have any action plan because some tumblr users aren't personally ending patriarchy with their blogs.

I'm guessing you're male and want to discredit all of this because you think feminism is useless or bad, but that's demonstrably false.

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

So what are the ties between women being wary around men and actual nazis?

"Oh no a woman won't stay the night at her male friend's house and says she hates men online, guysss men are literally being genocided rn and this is somehow white supremacist too because why not". That's how you sound.

And how is it bio essentialism to acknowledge that men are socialized to view women as lesser? Please. Enlighten me. And looking at nazi germany's treatment of gender actually, is just more proof for women to be wary of men, considering they undid a lot of gains for women.

Ngl you're somehow making it worse actually.

Ok we get it, your entire personality is "omg I'm so weird look at me".

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

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

Well,

1. Radical feminism isn't just for developed countries. Who told you that was the case?

I can agree, things have gotten better in countries with more feminist policies, but these things certainly have not been there even in "developed" countries for "more than a century". Need I remind you the fact that 50 years ago women weren't allowed to have bank accounts without a mans permission in America? Or that marital rape was only fully illegal in the US as of 1993? And dude look, abortion was made illegal again in many states, a lot of them overlap with the ones that have the most issues with teen pregnancy and child marriage (red states). This is another specific issue.

But enough about America alone. Globally, women's rights have been recently taking a turn for the worse.

You can't undo literal millennia of oppression in only 50 years, and yes attitude and perceptions around women's rights is also important to push policies. Policy doesn't come out of thin air and people generally don't protest for things they don't think they need.

2. I provided specific policies already. It's not my fault if you can't read. And boycotts or each of these polices are just examples, not the full solution. It's a lot more complex and gradual. For example, living women the right to vote also didn't get rid of the patriarchy but it did help. Telling the suffragettes they should give up protesting and that it's hopeless for women to have equal rights however, was not. How are you going to accuse us of doomerism and then delegitimize all political activism and call it useless?

3. The ideas of male and female socialization are pretty integral to radfem theory on gender. If you had doubts, then you can just ask her. No need for charades. What tells you "that person doesn't actually agree that the problem lies in socialisation" lmao?

4. That's the thing, we're against gendered socialization in general. There's not really much to be done in policy at this time, other than trying to educate people get rid of the notion that male and female brains are significantly different or that people are hard-wired as feminine vs masculine because of their brain's gender. Gender ideology/activism did push this back a bit in the scientific field.

What are your proposed solutions or specific issues you want addressed? I hear a lot of criticism from you but... no suggestions?

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

What? No. Women get more economic power when they: aren't expected to stop working to have a child or if they get enough maternity leave and affordable pre-k education, when female-dominated fields aren't devalued, when women aren't told they must prioritize men and children over financial independence, etc. You know, all things we have made significant gains in over the past 50 years, but we're still not there yet. These are still the stats and a pretty common situation:

2. Yes? and it provides more bodily autonomy for women.

3. And... what does a group of individuals make up?

4. I would say that almost every political or social movement would beg to differ.

5. Women's shelters for one.

6. Just completely missed the point I guess. Maybe perpetuating the idea that people who look female act one way, and people who look male act another way (in a way that advantages males), isn't great for women or feminism?

7. Pretty simple. A patriarchy is a system that doesn't advantage males over females as a whole. A policy that I didn't mention already is abolishing porn and the sex industry by criminalizing sex buyers, and not the sex workers. Also, requiring women to be included in medical trials. And also, boycott things like makeup, which is functionally useless and just feeds off the idea that women are just meant to be pretty yet women are also not pretty already.

Patriarchy is also often perpetuated through how people are raised, aka male vs female socialization, so working to combat that would help. It's not "just vibes". It's also "don't teach your daughter that math is for men".

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

Lmao do you hear yourself?

"Right-wing Nazi bullshit" Just say feminazi, it's quicker :)

""Not all men" is still bullshit when it comes to the original meaning of "All men" which is about how we have to be socially wary all (cis) men who are strangers."??

I mean. Yeah. Why shouldn't we care about our safety? Not just regarding strangers either honestly. Male friends and whatnot too are also usually misogynistic and/or can be harmful to women just because of how males are raised to view us as below them. Don't be delusional.

Also bro just shut up mr. "practicing Paraphiliac" lmao.

A Historical Deep Dive into the Founders of Black Womanism & Modern Feminism

Six African American Suffragettes Mainstream History Tried to Forget

These amazing Black American women each advanced the principles of modern feminism and Black womanism by insisting on an intersectional approach to activism. They understood that the struggles of race and gender were intertwined, and that the liberation of Black women was essential. Their writings, speeches, and actions have continued to inspire movements addressing systemic inequities, while affirming the voices of marginalized women who have shaped society. Through their amazing work, they have expanded the scope of womanism and intersectional feminism to include racial justice, making it more inclusive and transformative.

Anna Julia Cooper (1858–1964)

Quote: “The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class—it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity.”

Contribution: Anna Julia Cooper was an educator, scholar, and advocate for Black women’s empowerment. Her book A Voice from the South by a Black Woman of the South (1892) is one of the earliest articulations of Black feminist thought. She emphasized the intellectual and cultural contributions of Black women and argued that their liberation was essential to societal progress. Cooper believed education was the key to uplifting African Americans and worked tirelessly to improve opportunities for women and girls, including founding organizations for Black women’s higher education. Her work challenged both racism and sexism, laying the intellectual foundation for modern Black womanism.

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825–1911)

Quote: “We are all bound together in one great bundle of humanity, and society cannot trample on the weakest and feeblest of its members without receiving the curse in its own soul.”

Contribution: Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was a poet, author, and orator whose work intertwined abolitionism, suffrage, and temperance advocacy. A prominent member of the American Equal Rights Association, she fought for universal suffrage, arguing that Black women’s voices were crucial in shaping a just society. Her 1866 speech at the National Woman’s Rights Convention emphasized the need for solidarity among marginalized groups, highlighting the racial disparities within the feminist movement. Harper’s writings, including her novel Iola Leroy, offered early depictions of Black womanhood and resilience, paving the way for Black feminist literature and thought.

Ida B. Wells (1862–1931)

Quote: “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”

Contribution: Ida B. Wells was a fearless journalist, educator, and anti-lynching activist who co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). Her investigative reporting exposed the widespread violence and racism faced by African Americans, particularly lynchings. As a suffragette, Wells insisted on addressing the intersection of race and gender in the fight for women’s voting rights. At the 1913 Women’s Suffrage Parade in Washington, D.C., she famously defied instructions to march in a segregated section and joined the Illinois delegation at the front, demanding recognition for Black women in the feminist movement. Her activism laid the groundwork for modern feminisms inclusion of intersectionality, emphasizing the dual oppressions faced by Black women.

Sojourner Truth (1797–1883)

Quote: “Ain’t I a Woman?”

Contribution: Born into slavery, Sojourner Truth became a powerful voice for abolition, women's rights, and racial justice after gaining her freedom. Her famous 1851 speech, "Ain’t I a Woman?" delivered at a women's rights convention in Akron, Ohio, directly challenged the exclusion of Black women from the feminist narrative. She highlighted the unique struggles of Black women, who faced both racism and sexism, calling out the hypocrisy of a movement that often-centered white women’s experiences. Truth’s legacy lies in her insistence on equality for all, inspiring future generations to confront the intersecting oppressions of race and gender in their advocacy.

Nanny Helen Burroughs (1879–1961)

Quote: “We specialize in the wholly impossible.”

Contribution: Nanny Helen Burroughs was an educator, activist, and founder of the National Training School for Women and Girls in Washington, D.C., which emphasized self-sufficiency and vocational training for African American women. She championed the "Three B's" of her educational philosophy: Bible, bath, and broom, advocating for spiritual, personal, and professional discipline. Burroughs was also a leader in the Women's Convention Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention, where she pushed for the inclusion of women's voices in church leadership. Her dedication to empowering Black women as agents of social change influenced both the feminist and civil rights movements, promoting a vision of racial and gender equality.

Elizabeth Piper Ensley (1847–1919)

Quote: “The ballot in the hands of a woman means power added to influence.”

Contribution: Elizabeth Piper Ensley was a suffragist and civil rights activist who played a pivotal role in securing women’s suffrage in Colorado in 1893, making it one of the first states to grant women the vote. As a Black woman operating in the predominantly white suffrage movement, Ensley worked to bridge racial and class divides, emphasizing the importance of political power for marginalized groups. She was an active member of the Colorado Non-Partisan Equal Suffrage Association and focused on voter education to ensure that women, especially women of color, could fully participate in the democratic process. Ensley’s legacy highlights the importance of coalition-building in achieving systemic change.

To honor these pioneers, we must continue to amplify Black women's voices, prioritizing intersectionality, and combat systemic inequalities in race, gender, and class.

Modern black womanism and feminist activism can expand upon these little-known founders of woman's rights by continuously working on an addressing the disparities in education, healthcare, and economic opportunities for marginalized communities. Supporting Black Woman-led organizations, fostering inclusive black femme leadership, and embracing allyship will always be vital.

Additionally, when we continuously elevate their contributions in social media or multi-media art through various platforms, and academic curriculum we ensure their legacies continuously inspire future generations. By integrating their principles into feminism and advocating for collective liberation, women and feminine allies can continue their fight for justice, equity, and feminine empowerment, hand forging a society, by blood, sweat, bones and tears where all women can thrive, free from oppression.

In America, poverty is a death sentence and Donald Trump and the Republican Party are slowly repealing The Affordable Care Act, making healthcare unaffordable once again. We need Medicare For All, and we need it now. No one should die because they can’t afford overpriced, profitized healthcare.

These are some of the people who needlessly died, just because they couldn’t afford healthcare. Unfortunately, as long as conservative politicians control congress, they won’t be the last.

The cruelty of racist white men.

... Said literally no worthwhile economist

Same honestly. The way he wrote about the women in the book was also extremely creepy. Like... really you want us to root for the main character who fantasizes about raping and murdering a girl for... being part of some celibacy club? This is a deep work of art?

Also, quite frankly for a dystopian book it was just too over the top and didn't really have a unique message. like "bad stuff is bad" type of message. F451 was a bit better, the themes about mindless entertainment as a distraction was good but in other ways, it was also similar. Maybe I just don't get dystopian books but Brave New World was actually good in my opinion.

please, tell me i’m not the only one who hates 1984 by george orwell with all the heart. everyone always describes it as this incredible book that will change your perception of the world, but honestly ... it didn’t. for me.

People love to talk about how undemocratic socialism is, yet capitalism by default results in unelected oligarchs and politicians that are bought by them, so they rule both economically and politically.

As someone on this site said before, capitalism is also a planned economy but it's planned by billionaires.

I mean lets be honest, did anyone vote for Elon Musk?

Also this is a plan to make it so anyone with a name change won't be able to vote, aka most married women. But sure, misogyny is gone in the US I guess!

From the source: "The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act could prevent many married women from being able to register to vote.

The act, reintroduced by Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy, is intended to amend the National Voter Registration Act to ensure that all people registering to vote are U.S. citizens. It would require people to present in-person documentation as proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

Much of the documentation listed under the SAVE Act is based on having a birth certificate that matches the person registering to vote. However, as many as 69 million married women in the United States have changed their legal name since getting married, meaning their name does not match their birth certificate, according to the Center for American Progress."

I still can’t get over how Chappell and Lady Gaga only talked about trans rights in their Grammy speeches without a single mention of women or the fact that our rights are being erased right now. Trump ordered women’s history removed from NASA and military websites, the CDC deleted critical women’s health data, the FDA erased diversity guidelines that ensured medical treatments were tested on women fairly, and the Department of Defense scrubbed content acknowledging women’s contributions. Yet they act like women are fine as if we’re not being erased in real time. So is it acceptable for women’s struggles to be erased and rights being stripped alongside racism being promoted while trans rights take center stage.
