Why aren't autistic men removing their body hair? Why don't they complain about these same sensory issues?
It's not that I don't believe you, I just need you to understand that it is the removal process (shaving/waxing) that is the source of the discomfort. It changes the tip of the hair, and makes it feel coarse on skin. Many women started removing their body hair when they were very young, so they don't know any different and believe that body hair is inherently uncomfortable.
It doesn't make sense for body hair to inherently be uncomfortable, and somehow only to women. Men AND WOMEN!!! have grown body hair since forever, and removing it is a recent phenomenon. There is no documentation of it bothering people before then.
same thing with non-binary womyn. wanting to escape womynhood is so SO normal but basically no one in our world understands being a womyn means nothing but being an adult human female. not conforming to sexist assumptions and stereotypes doesnt make you not a womyn
I wonder if women who identify as men see males as the "basic, default person" in a way. TIFs dysphoria sometimes begins with discomfort toward their breasts because they've been sexualized, or the trauma inherent in puberty and getting their period, or the expectation to wear makeup or objectifying clothing - and then they think, "Well, men don't have breasts or periods. They don't have to wear makeup or clothes like that."
I wonder if it's less about truly "feeling like a male" and more about seeing the male as the standard person who does not have all these additional problems and expectations and identifying with that.
the facy that SO many of them are fathers is absolutely sickening.
"Radfems aren't safe people and they hurt women!"
If I brought up the little details of my sexual abuse to radical feminists, I wouldn't be blamed.
I wouldn't be told "well 17 is still legal" or "6 years isn't that bad of an age gap".
I wouldn't be told that it's not possession of child pornography because I "willingly" sent him photos of myself.
I wouldn't be told I led him on.
I wouldn't be told I stalked and abused him when I was behaving like a confused, traumatised child who didn't know what else to do.
I would be told it wasn't my fault. I would be supported. My pain would be validated. My experience wouldn't be diminished by "other people have it worse".
And I would be confident that this support wasn't a facade.
I will never get that from any other "feminist" community and believe me - I have tried.
Radfem spaces are the safest places for women who are victims of abuse and sex based violence.
100% i think if porn advertisements werent a thing porn addiction in teens would be less of a problem. thats how alot of teen boys are introduced to it.
It’s my business when men are forcing their girlfriends into anal sex. It’s my business when women are getting surgeries on their labia and breasts so they can look like model’s in playboy, its my business because young girls are being forced to act out porn scenes with their first boyfriends in case their boyfriends leave them or stop thinking that they’re hot, it’s my business when men are so gorged on porn they think a woman who doesn’t send nude pictures is weird, its my business when men are taking up-skirt photos and groping women, it’s my business when women are being forced to have sex without condoms so that it will feel better ‘for men’, because there are no condoms in porn scenes, its my business when women are lying and faking their orgasms because porn has taught men that sex is about THEIR pleasure, and that sex is just endlessly pumping their dick into a woman over and over again, it’s my business when I can’t look up anything on the internet without coming across advertisements for porn, its my business when I can’t look up any information on my sexual orientation without being overrun by porn even with the safe search on. Its my business, its my business, its my fucking business.Â
saying becoming genderfluid was when you stopped trying to force yourself into conventional womyn standards is odd to be common within 'progressive' communities because those traditional beauty standards arent actually based on any fact. you shouldnt base your womynhood on if you like makeup or dresses or long hair because they are all stereotypes.
i dont believe most womyn actually like being 'feminine'. heels are uncomfortable, makeup is time consuming and difficult, dresses/skirts require you to sit awkwardly in order to not flash people, etc..
saying you arent a womyn because you dont conform to harmful stereotypes is just affirming them in a different way.
being a gnc womyn is powerful. you dont have to not identify as a womyn to not conform to toxic beauty standards.
when a woman posted this (its a trend atm), she was bullied so hard she literally had to delete the video, but when a man does it its just sooo quirky!
..definitely a radical feminist, sure
Today I was watching a transgender person use the bathroom and there was a MOID eating a burger, I couldn't stop thinking about her penis! And I was called a bitch!! Yes, I am a proud terf!
