this was funnier in my head
I've seen a lot about the show Adolescence. I do plan on watching it, but it's been getting me thinking about my time as a teacher. I've encountered a few alarming behaviors in young boys that the administration and parents ignored. I've had a young 6th-grade boy literally stand in front of a girl's desk and tell her he'd rape her. Nothing happened after I wrote a referral. Not even a class switch. I've had a young boy send naked pictures of a random man to a young girl. When she screenshot it, he threatened to "beat her ass." I've had young boys call me a bitch and disrespect me to my face. Not to mention the rise of incel lingo becoming popularized as well. I didn't even notice until I started teaching 6th graders that "looksmaxxkng" and other incel languages were starting to become normal.
What does that tell young girls? When they feel uncomfortable or speak up, no one will do anything about it. The administrators don't help, and the boy's parents won't either. As a teacher, I could have only done so much and followed the needed protocols. If every teacher didn't fill out a specific form, then nothing would get done. We needed months of documentation to even remove a kid from one class. The school system is a mess and frankly unsafe at times.
If eyeliner grants women more power, why does it not grant men more power? Who is granting women power when they wear eyeliner? Why? What kind of power is it?
If eyeliner is worn almost entirely by women and wearing eyeliner "sharp enough to kill a man" is feminist, which specific feminist issue does eyeliner tackle (menstrual health, sexual harassment, medical misogyny, domestic violence shelters)?
How does eyeliner liberate you from the patriarchy (not make you feel good, liberate you ― there's a difference)?
The way this one image and the promise of december 13th have me ready to fall back into this obsession
Trans women are the backbone of feminism.
never recovering from this film
It makes me sad that people think radical feminists/gender abolitionists hate trans people and want them to die. In reality we just don’t think gender exists and biological sex is the only real reality. Everything else is just personality and interests.
A male can never know what it’s like to grow up socialized as a female. They will never experience going from girlhood to being sexualized by grown men in a matter of a year or so. They will never menstruate. They will never miscarry and they will never go through child birth. They will never experience sexism. They have and always will benefit from the patriarchy as long as it’s upheld.
If women aren’t a real social class then how did men know who to not allow to vote or to buy property? How do men know who to assault on the street? Women have been forced to marry men, bear their bastards, and depend on the male to make the income because we weren’t allowed to work. For Christ’s sake, western women weren’t even allowed to wear pants for decades. We were burned at the stake and called witches for simply for being female.
Women (transmen) are trying to identify out of their biological sex because they don’t like the way society views women and expects them to look or behave. You can’t identify out of oppression.
I think everybody should have the freedom to dress how they want, to wear makeup, or express themselves any ways they see fit. But liking “feminine” things does NOT make you a woman. And liking “masculine” things does NOT make you a man. Please just be human and stop complicating it. I love people and I’d never want to intentionally offend anybody but people need a wake up call.
I fucking hate this world
Cool, Idc
Just know its a slur and lesbians are lesbians, not queer

Recommendation!!
Okay so I read this book and I recommend to do the same if you are radfem/gender critical/gender abolitionist. Basically it’s about Autism and gender identity. As autistic folk, while reading this book I felt that I’m not alone, I felt finally seen. It also focus on other disorders that autistics can have while still the main topic is gender identity and struggles to find yourself in gender obsessed society. I genuinely recommend to read it even autistic trans people as it can help with understanding yourself more. It’s sad to see other people having the same problem/s as you not so long ago. Wish you all better future and capability to understand yourself more
RADFEM PSA!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ARGUING WITH M*LES, EVER. In fact, don't engage with ANYONE that's annoying and full of it. Delete their comments and block them! Time is an infinitely precious resource and you can spend it on radicalizing other women, building networks and communities, educating yourself, drinking water or even staring at a wall-- that would be more productive than arguing with a broken Y chromosome.
liberal feminists express more outrage over black women having limited nude makeup choices compared to white women than they do over black women being three times more likely to die in childbirth than white women
