Feminism has become far too watered down. It’s purpose has been shifted, it’s focus moved . Feminism is now about “equality” when the purpose was always meant to be advancement and rights for WOMEN. The kind of weak feminism that caters to men is not real feminism, but something else entirely. The cause of giving women rights must focus on women. Real feminism ALWAYS puts WOMEN FIRST. It doesn’t allow the exploitation and commodification of women for men’s pleasure, pander to men who invade women’s spaces, or justify oppression of and violence towards women by men.
If you support porn and "sex work"- the sale of women’s bodies and the exploitation of vulnerable women- you are not a feminist.
If you believe that not wearing makeup and skirts makes you not a woman, or that a man wearing makeup and skirts makes him a woman, or in general that gender presentation= gender, you are not a feminist.
If you think men or "non-women" can be lesbians, you are not a feminist.
If you think it is empowering to make yourself into a sexual object for men, or to let men use you sexually without insisting they put your pleasure first, you are not a feminist.
If you believe that oppression-based gender roles and religious codes can be a "choice" and empowering, you are not a feminist.
If you continually adjust your language to erase women, and refuse to acknowledge that it is women who birth and menstruate, you are not a feminist.
If you use misogynistic slurs like "b*ch" "sl*t" and "h*", you are not a feminist.
If your feminism does not believe in putting women first in the cause, you are not a feminist.

On 20 March 2023, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya and Tunisia will be protesting against their governments
Africans are fed up. It’s time for African leaders to be held accountable.
we dont need body positivity we need body neutrality we dont need “gender instead of gender roles” we need the abolition of both we dont need “ethical porn websites” we need the eradication of porn altogether we dont need sex work legalised we need more options systematically in place for disadvantaged abused women we dont need cosmetic plastic surgery to be de stigmatised we need to normalise natural female features we dont need “race/sexuality blind feminism” we need intersectional feminism that recognises the different needs and traumas of woc and gay women
not he ate him up 😭😭😭
The comments are exactly what you expect. Don't think, just transition!
terf history rant
I guess I should actually start writing short articles about radical feminist / terf history on tumblr. I don't know where else I could properly summarize the history, so tumblr it is. a rant about radfem vs. trans ideologue history and how it's been forcibly rewritten by men galavanting as the "most oppressed" type of person you can be, a misogynistic man appropriating womanhood.
This is a neglected subject in the community because the history is sparse, inaccurately represented in a cursory google search; the true details only found while digging through old lesbian feminist periodicals and forum posts by elderly radical lesbian feminists, but I'd trust all that over TIM bloggers and their minions any day.
What happened early on in the second wave (mid 70s-80s) echoes today heavily. The issues they had early on with TIMs claiming to be lesbians and feminists, it sickens me how as soon as it was relatively acceptable to, men started to claim womanhood and lesbianism. The history of mister "Beth Elliott" makes me sick and is reminiscent of today's EIi ErI*ck.
The 1973 West Coast Lesbian conference in San Francisco California is said to be the first lesbian conference of its kind (in the world, perhaps). Many lesbians and feminists in general flocked to the Bay Area to meet likeminded women. There had been a gurgling debate transpiring in the months preceding the conference surrounding a transsexual male identifying as a lesbian in San Francisco. Beth Elliot, or whose real name is Elliott Basil Mattiuzzi, was notorious in the Bay Area lesbian community for creating a dramatic schism in the San Francisco Daughters of Billitis and having worked on a few copies of the Lesbian Tide. He was accused of rape by at least one lesbian attending the conference.
Many lesbians begged the conference organizers, including Jeanne Cordova not to invite him and let him perform, but their pleads were ignored. He has been accused of sexual assault and years-long stalking of notable lesbian-feminists in the Bay Area, these accusations span decades. Bev Jo, a young lesbian feminist, was one of the women known as the Gutter Dykes. Bev knew Beth before he identified as a lesbian, and claims he sexually harassed her and begged her to date him when she was 19. She also claims he elected the similar name of "beth" because he was obsessed with her and wanted to "become her" (something very reminiscent of autogynephilia, cough cough).
You can read about lesbian's experiences at the conference in the May 1973 edition of the Lesbian Tide, where Robin Morgan gives the conference organizers a mouth-full in their own periodical (epic.)
Here is Dr. Em's articles about this story more in depth.
Here's what Gutter-Dyke separatist Bev Jo, who knew Elliott personally pre-transition, had to say on what happened in the comments on Dr. Em's articles on the subject.
Trans "historians" will tell you that an evil group of radical dykes physically attacked Elliott that day, but that wasn't true. They put it up to a vote and Elliott was able to sing at a vote of 3 to 1. He was able to perform uninterrupted, but at least 90 lesbians left he room in protest. He had a myriad of sexual accusations against him and these were blatantly disregarded. The only person who got their ass beat that day was a Christian anti-gay protester who got whooped by a bunch of lesbians.
From Elliott himself, he describes his time in the lesbian community as being "blacklisted" and harassed by, and I quote, "the emerging radical dyke feminist political correctness police" and he mentions his disdain for "PC police propaganda" multiple times while describing his personality and life online.
women have so pathetically flopped over in obedience to men. The most disheartening aspect of modern feminism is how brain dead we've become.
SyIvia Rivera is revered as a trans, LGB and women's right's activist all while being a misogynistic, lesbiphobic hateful man masquerading as a woman. He actively disparaged and tried to silence lesbian feminists early on in the gay liberation movement.
It makes me sick every time a young person calls me a colonizer and tell me that I need to be grateful for "trans people fighting for and winning your civil rights, you owe it all to trans people." And that fucking drives me mad, because I ask them every time--
"can you please tell me what rights, where were they fought for, when were they, how were they, and who the fuck got them for me that was trans?"
And they can never tell me a single incident besides "Marsha P Johnson, SyIvia Rivera, and stonewall! They won your rights!" Which, first, is false. Marsha (a self-described GAY MAN) is quoted as saying he missed the riots entirely that night, he most definitely didn't throw the first stone or brick or whatever.
It's noted that the culprit of the riots was likely Stormé DeLarverie, butch lesbian and drag king performer who started throwing things (bricks I think) at the cops. Yet the trans rights activists rarely acknowledge her? And when they do it's to assign her a trans identity post mortem, it's stomach churning.
This truly feels like living in an insane world and you're the only person who is capable of a single rational thought. We keep repeating history but it's only getting worse. Lesbian-only, female-only spaces are nonexistent. We're threatened with violence and loss of employment if we speak out. Goddess, it's so exhausting. Take me away from here. Rant over. Please feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions, likeminded women only.
TRAs fuck off. Thanks.
Trans people literally want to cut off healthy body parts & y’all are surprised that their suicide rate is so high ?!? They’re not killing themselves because of “transphobia.” They’re killing themselves because they’re fucking mentally ill !!! I wouldn’t expect someone who wants to cut off their own arm to last very long either.
Another sister lost to senseless male violence in South Africa. If I posted all the women and children who fall victim to South African male violence, I would never rest.
Rest in peace 🕊
I’ve been getting into weightlifting recently (I’m certainly not a gym rat and never really took exercise seriously) and when I tell you what they have been HIDING from us!!!!
Lifting heavy weights makes you feel so physically GOOD. I feel strong, I feel balanced, I feel powerful and capable. The mental and physical health benefits of weight lifting are nearly infinite, and I’m getting these benefits within two weeks of starting! I can already see changes in my body and in my mind.
Women are discouraged from heavy weightlifting because society demands we are dainty, small, and submissive, so many women do weight loss-type workouts like Pilates and cardio. (Nothing wrong with these either! But perhaps analyze if you are doing these things to make yourself healthier or to make yourself look better for men).
Please please please do not be intimidated by weightlifting. Please find a beginners program online and start lifting heavy! You will never regret it, and it’s much easier than it looks!
the entire argument of men being oppressed under patriarchy due to them being expected to be strong and assertive is so easily debunked when you realize that they’re not expected to be that way, they’re just automatically assumed to be. women under patriarchy are forced into proving their submission and sensuality through subscribing to the lifestyle meanwhile even the most meek men are simply assumed to be smarter and better as leaders simply due to their sex. masculine stereotypes are not oppression, they’re privilege.
I really wished more women hated males the way males hate women , I wish women hated them in a way that no matter what they do no matter how good and understanding they are they’re still despised ,I wish they hated them even if they have a lot in common hate them even if they’re in the same oppressed groups they are betray them no matter how close they were to them, mistreat them just for the hell of it , like I wish more women hated males simply because they are males like I wanna see that
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)?
“Why didn’t you call the cops?”
The South African Police Service is beyond useless.
Proving my point🥱
Most kinksters I have met have been more understanding and accepting than any terf.
Gender can be a touchy topic. Ever since chopping off my hair I’ve been asked multiple times “when I’m transitioning”. I’m 100% confident in my identity as a masculine female. Hell, cutting my hair short, almost makes me feel even MORE female.
A big ambition of the LGBTQ+ community is to eradicate gender roles. My confusion lies in the fact that since I cut my hair, which enhances my masculinity, the only reasonable explanation must be that I am transitioning. However, it is perfectly okay for me to be a masculine female, just as it is to be a feminine male. It is also okay that I desire to look more like a man, without wanting to identify as one. I love having female body parts - yeah, I wish I had smaller boobs and narrower hips, but for me that’s just for aesthetics.
I feel as though we as a community have lost touch with those of us who fall in between the lines, and not even to the point of identifying as non-binary. Some of us may never find a label that fits us perfectly, and that’s fine, we’re all just somewhere on a spectrum. Someone’s identity should never be assumed or questioned - and it is entirely up to them to decide who they want to be. I’ve never felt more happy with myself as I have since cutting off my hair. Hopefully some of you can relate to this message and I’m always open to discussion in the comments.
If children and teenagers are incapable of forming their own political opinion without it being a product of grooming, what makes you think they are capable of life altering decisions such as being transgender without it being a product of grooming as well? At least you can take back being a radical feminist, you can’t take back the side effects of under researched puberty blockers and hormones.
Fetishising mentally I’ll people be like
I 💙 trannies
Annoying mfs
Tell me you never met a terf without telling me

Cate Blanchett with her performance in Tár (2022) gave the perfect portrayal of a sexy, insufferable lesbian with a giant ego and a big superiority complex and she deserves to win an Oscar for it:
She was so real for that
Tár (2022)
This will probably seem controversial, but I’m tired of these anti-bipartisan tropes.
The older I get, the more the left and right look like mirror images of each other. Republicans and democrats both hate women. They both hate the climate. Neither care for the general health of the population. When you get into the far left and right - both hate Jews.
The left is really big into identity politics right now, so they tend to cycle through who they support most pretty quickly. It all depends on who can claim the most victim hood. This is seen to the point that people are testifying in court hearings about TIMs in women’s sports who are not doctors, athletes, etc. A woman testified a bit ago saying “as a woman of color, I’m telling you no one cares about trans women in women’s sports”. As though being a woman of color had anything to do with the conversation - and she wasn’t even an athlete or doctor.
The right rarely changes their stances, but instead changes the severity of those stances. So we’ve always known, for example, that they don’t support abortion. Depending on the person, they’ll submit and vote on bills anywhere from the ability to get abortions up to 18 weeks, to the inability to get an abortion no matter what with no exceptions. So they keep the same general stance (anti choice), but they change the severity of that stance (no choice at all or maybe a choice up to so many weeks).
The idea that bipartisanship is bad, or just doesn’t exist, is truly stupid. Both sides are assholes. Usually, both sides are assholes in the same way. It all depends on how well they hide their true thoughts and agendas. Preaching about climate is easy, but you’re taking a jet all over the country? Saying you care about women is easy, but you’re advocating for a complete sunset of roe v wade? Both sides have/are liars.
I could on all day about this, but my point is this: saying “terfs are bad because they share the same viewpoint as conservatives” is just plain dumb. Not only do conservatives not agree with the “rf” part of the “terf”, but they also have their “te” opinions for different reasons than us. Trying to group us together tells me you are either just ignorant of how this works, or you are very thinly veiling your misogyny.
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.
if you come to make posts abt how radical feminism is for white people and it’s fascist, genocidal and aligned with n4zis, i’m srsly just gonna assume the real racist is you 💀
I just wanted to say one thing
I love women so much, I love them all
