*Using my iPhone to command a random immigrant to deliver a prepared dinner with any meat I want right to my doorstep*: “I’m not really privileged because I can only afford to do this once or twice a week”
no fr ive had numerous female friends and family that blew me off years refusing to go out or do anything together then turn around and suddenly start playing friendly now that they have kids they want a free babysitter for.
talking about how it takes a village to raise a kid when what the mean is they can't actually afford to have kids and think me being 1. a women and 2. childfree means im just expected to help them raise the kid i deliberately didnt have. I dont caaaaare that motherhood is hard im not doing their work for them, they can actually stop expecting every female friend, cousin or niece to do free labour. especially when they refuse to ask any men to look after the kid, including its own damn father.
Ahh that's fucking gross. Give them the cold shoulder totally. No woman around my age that I'm close to has had kids yet, but I'm just waiting for it cause I know it's coming.
Next time someone tells you women are meant to have children blah blah blah have them look up what a placenta is. We are so misinformed about the female body that despite most of us hearing that word before, we don’t really think about its role. The placenta is built by the embryo (not the mother) to essentially hide itself from the mother. Because otherwise she would KILL IT. It’s a foreign body with half of another person’s genetic code. Also we all have heard about the hormone HCG but most of us hear of it in regards to pregnancy tests and not the fact that it forces the mother’s uterus to start secreting a protein to feed the embryo. With every pregnancy, the fetus and mother are in competition. The fetus wants to grow and the mother tries to protect herself and not DIE. we are capable of pregnancy, we have the organs necessary to birth new life. This does NOT mean our organs are for anyone but ourselves. Every part of you is there FOR YOU. Regardless of what anyone might say. Don’t be ashamed of not wanting children. Don’t feel like a broken woman for not being able to have children. Don’t let anyone tell you your sexuality is wrong because it doesn’t result in offsprings.
I think about your post about women’s feminist views coming from a place of genuinely loving men a lot.
radfeminism in general comes from a place of wanting to reform men and convince them to be niceys because women cannot let go of their love for them and honestly genuinely truly want to be loved back. and the tryhard misandry comes from a place of hurt, the realization that men view them as subhuman even though they crave their affection, respect and attention like nothing else - while desperately wanting to be treated as an equal. this is why they willingly and readily abandon both when the right nigel comes along lol they think that their nigel is different and that they themselves are different because they're experiencing it firsthand and their experiences are real, unlike everyone else's. but that's to be expected in a hetero society, no amount of politics will ever keep women and men from each other
I don't know why people get so defensive and morally superior when you point out the nature of human relationships is transactional. I'm not denying or diminishing your "love", I'm just pointing something out.
Really fucked with me learning that when Michel Foucault first arrived at UC Berkeley his friends tried to warn him not to participate in the local gay bathhouse scene due to the risk of AIDS, but that he did it anyway because he thought that AIDS was just a social construct. And when he inevitably got infected with AIDS as a result of unprotected sex he refused treatment insisting it was a pulmonary infection, and he didn't get diagnosed until his symptoms were so bad that he was forcibly hospitalised.
"AIDS is just a social construct" sounds like the sort of thing you would make up as a parody of the sort of stupid shit a post-modernist would believe. But the most famous post-modernist in history believed it, and ended up dying as a result of that belief. And given how respected he was, other men probably also died as a result of believing what he was saying. I get that they didn't know as much about AIDS in 1983 as we do today, but it been around for a few years already, so one of the supposedly smartest men on the planet should have had enough evidence to be able to overturn the hypothesis that viruses are just social constructs.
For most western women;
Why would you take the risk of trying to find a male that won’t kill, disrespect or rape you, when you could just not?
Too many cases of women and girls being abused by male partners to justify it.
frankly if you identify with society's idea of womanhood, you lack either critical thinking or self respect.
this goes for males and females.
