Based Madoka (and Friends!)

Women — people of the female sex class — are victims of the most heinous individual and collective crimes on earth. And it‘s been going on like this for thousands of years.

This includes:

female genital mutilation, girls and women of all ages can become victims, and it‘s even performed on baby girls

female infanticide; people abandon and murder female babies because of their sex

forced pregnancy and abortion, even worse in the combination with rape/incest; having a child by choice is self-sacrifice but by force it‘s literal torture, what it does to the body and psyche goes beyond the imaginable for the average person

generally the entire role of reproduction and the world‘s unwillingness to accommodate to women‘s unique contributions; motherhood penalty

child marriage, followed by marital rape and forced pregnancy/childbirth

menstruation taboos and period huts

suttee (femicide in Hindu communities)

honour killings

legal and social disadvantages and oppressions have been installed on the basis of our female bodies

the vast amount of medical (and general) research is centered around the male body — in fact, the whole world is built around the male body

health care for the female body and especially reproductive system is neglected massively; women suffering from female-specific conditions aren‘t taken seriously or there aren’t enough resources to help them

pain and other symptoms specifically affecting the female body are dismissed and/or normalized

high rates of femicide (sex-based crimes, male on female)

rates of women trafficked in prostitution and exploitated for their female bodies (prostitution, pornography etc.)

over-sexualization of the female body; the ideal of "small, thin, fragile" is forced upon us

rape culture and the flawed justice system which treats women like predators for speaking up

denied education and neurosexism

normalization of misogynistic slurs, caricatures and misogyny itself (it‘s treated like a secondary problem whenever oppressive systems are discussed and even defended under the prospect of "choice", which is heavily influenced by the very patriarchy that wants to silence us into obedience)

women during and especially after wars are raped and used as incubators to create new people who can later be used and abused (or use and abuse others)

rape is one of the most prevalent and strategically practiced war crimes through history and mostly aimed at the women ("marking territory by violating/claiming someone‘s property" is their motto)

The list could go on and on and on. Sex-based violence and oppression is REAL. And everything attributed to the female sex (gender roles) only serves to ensure that women remain at the bottom of the hierarchy. Wake up!

“Thin brows are back in” “skinny jeans are back” “wolfcuts are out” “this style of eyeshadow is soo trendy right now” “big asses are out, slim figures are in”

Hey do you guys ever make your own decisions or form your own ideas on how you would personally like to look that’s not based around what’s currently being sold to you. Is that not possible

the asuka kinnie urge to think your life is completely meaningless and your own self is worthless whenever you can’t achieve excellent academic results

Literal Goddess Worshipers still don't deserve to be denigrated BTW.

You know there are women here practicing surviving ancestral faiths, right? Religions that absolutely believe in things called woo by western science and can't be boiled down to honoring nature through symbolism?

What about my Osage friend who prays to her ancestors? I am an ethnic Greek woman who prays to Hekate, Artemis, Demeter, Persephone--do I get to be a radical feminist? My gods started out with the matriarchal Minoans!

What about a Santera or a Vodouisant? Do they get a seat at our table?

Why do we Reach Across The Isle for conservative Christian women, but Wiccans get jeered at?

I think some of you have a decidedly Christian distate for minority faiths, especially those you deem "primitive" or "magical" in worldview.

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.

south korean feminists: absolutely refusing to have sex with men, get married, have children, watch their weight, wear makeup, have long hair, etc. until korean men shape up and their culture stops encouraging women to starve themselves and spend their entire lives trying to look like 10 year old girl sex dolls

western feminists: did you know that not sucking dick is actually really problematic, also fix your eyebrows :/

Be so fr. JK Rowling is not racist, homophobic either child predator or fat phobic

She support all women. She cares about my money so much that she spends them on saving women and protecting them. Transphobia doesn’t exist.

At white radfems who bitch about video games sexualizing white cis women: maybe sit out the HL discourse. Trans, Jews and racial minorities are talking. And we're allowed to call out media we know will harm us just as much as you are.

terf is actually just a distracting buzzword meant to shut down women.

never mind the fact that most a lot of us identified as trans at one point, never mind that most of us are gender abolitionists in vehement support of nonconformity. in my mind it is literally not possible to be transphobic when you don’t believe in gender (the construct) to begin with. gender has no meaning to us. how or why would we weaponize something that has no meaning? our focus is on how our sex affects us as an oppressed class, and how that fundamentally puts us in a different category of experience/oppression from trans-identified males. trans women simply are not materially female. that has meaning to us because our materiality is what makes us oppressed, sexualized, vulnerable to male violence, etc.

being exclusionary is just a part of radical feminism. we’re not on some mission to genocide trans people. we’re not a cartoon villain. we didn’t take some poisonous terf pill, our brains didn’t go into some internalized transphobia overdrive one day, we aren’t subhuman joyless beings who want trans women/men to suffer. we actually have non-transphobic rationale behind the things that we advocate for, a lot of people just don’t want to listen because they shut down at any whiff of invalidation. as if criticizing or questioning something can be inherently genocidal. like, it’s not. by that logic, considering femicide, the violent language tra’s direct at terfs is equally dangerous. telling us they hope we get raped, tortured, killed, choked to death, etc—i’ve seen really some really gruesome shit come from tra’s. and maybe there’s a reason for that, i don’t know, but i don’t think that kind of language towards women is ever justified.

to me, terf seems like a continuation of the concepts used to weaponize any expression of misandry or autonomy from females. terfs are like modern-day ‘hags’ or ‘witches’. i’m fine with carrying on that stereotype.
