Been Seeing Some Ignorant Ass Takes That Assume That Bp/sep Women Have Done Nothing For Women.

kink isnt sexual and dude isnt gendered and aces can desire sex and cishet men are queer and lesbians can sleep with men and twinks can be fat and communists can own for-profit businesses and punks don’t have to listen to punk music and vegans can eat meat and white people are poc and humans can breathe underwater

"You can't blame that woman for what she did, she was conditioned to behave that way by the patriarchy!" (Radfems whenever they arbitrarily decide to remove agency from certain women and not others.)

Why does that matter? Nearly everything we think is a result of conditioning.

Our conditioning determines whether we stuff ourselves past the point of hunger because there's still food on our plate, and we were taught it's wrong to ever waste it.

Or if we think it's okay for parents to belt their children as a form of punishment, or for a husband to apply "domestic discipline" to keep his wife in line.

Or if we believe elders deserve a heightened level of respect.

Or if we think homosexuality is a sin based on what religion we were brought up in.

We are initially handed all of our beliefs by someone else, and when we reach the age of reason we are responsible for choosing for ourselves whether they're correct or not. Hear me, hypocrites: 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘴𝘴!

Would you give your homophobic boomer neighbor a pass for their beliefs? Why not? They're only acting from their conditioning, and that makes them blameless for what they continue to believe, correct?

If a parent dragged their kids to church and terrorized them with the threat of hellfire and damnation if they didn't get right with God, you wouldn't blame them according to your principles, right? They're only repeating what their parents said, who repeated what their parents said, and so on. Why would you expect them to think for themselves and break the cycle when you don't expect the same from women?

Or is it that you're actually just a walking stereotype of the way women are supposedly allergic to reason, logic, and accountability, because the only people who you believe aren't responsible for overcoming their conditioning are women?

👆 Radfems embody this stereotype, and CLEARLY that doesn't embarrass them, but it does embarrass me and other women who try to apply our principles consistently. That's why I distanced myself. We are not the same.

Prison abolitionists are like "only some rapists go to jail right now, so we might as well make it so none of them do :)"

Because when I think about when women are most powerful, I immediately think of women who are literally virgins, who know exactly who they are. Before they have internalized the gaze of men and adjusted their behaviour accordingly, they exude confidence, competence, independence and completeness.

Women will practice and uphold patriarchal beauty standards they personally conform to. It’s all fun and games when you’re the preferred fetish. Body types, hair colors and textures, lip size, skin tones, etc are all ways in which women are ranked. Egos are bruised when different models go in and out of style. Not because those women want to forgo such ideals altogether, but because they’re unable to embody the latest trend. Let thee without a makeup brush make the first accusation of brainwashing.

A “feminist” former model turned influencer, has dedicated her retirement to preaching about the beauty industry. Writing paragraphs about how her efforts to get dolled up resulted in no dating offers, because men were interested in younger women. This then propelled her into calling out unrealistic beauty standards. The same standards she enjoyed gleefully in youth. Citing she misses “turning heads” and ignoring the hypocrisy of her first marriage to a much older man. Her ultimate goal being a societal shift into including older women into the category of “sexy.”

Women with faces full of filler and glue adhesive on their eyelids will claim it’s ridiculous to rate women based on body shapes. Women who buy undergarments with the purpose of pushing their breast together have something to say about butts being the new thing. Women who sell out Sephoras in college complain about the pressure of maintaining youth with each passing birthday. The body positivity movement is filled with cognitive dissonance. “This standard is bad! Wait, what do you mean my hair dye and eyeliner are included in that? It’s not that deep and I do it for myself anyway.”

When women are “winning” the patriarchal game of penises and empty promises, they will do anything to maintain their status. Social capital is kept through presenting yourself as sexually available to heterosexual males. That is the foundation on which all beauty standards are built upon, regardless of what women tell themselves. Competitiveness is the sole purpose behind women’s picking and choosing of which aesthetic preference’s should be maintained. Remember, women are hierarchical too, and heterosexual world dominance is perpetuated through pecking order.

I’ll take claims of unfair beauty standards seriously when I see women rejecting ALL of them in mass. Until then, the same women shaving off their body hair can keep begging the pedo’s they’re appealing to for less judgment on their ass size/shape. Every woman wants to be the exception, the one who accepts patriarchy’s “prizes,” but escapes its eventual expiration date. There’s no having it both ways. Men cannot be both your oppressors and saviors. Perform and play dress up for the penis, then graciously bow and exit the stage when it demands the next act.

i'm not even speaking of merit or genius or "separate the art from the artist" because i think it's a debate so excruciating and useless i would rather chop my arm off. there is just this one specific way that - yes, i do hate to admit it - young, female fans approach male artists. it's like... the artist is always made bigger than his art. like a pseudo-husband or a surrogate father and i hate say this shit but i fail to see any other explanation i dont think you can even use projection/identification as an excuse. most of these women will probably spend the rest of their lives creating and loving different male idols/gods and even if every single one of them was revealed to be a rapist they would be incapable of seeing the one single common thread and just do it all over again. so we're stuck here. forever.

"men can be misogynists while having gfs so why can't women do the same" and "sexualizing men is getting back at them" are such insidious false equivalents lol misogyny is a default for any male and they use sexualization as a tool of oppression because the system is built to oppress women. it's in their interests to keep women under the boot and their hatred for women isn't a source of cognitive dissonance in their relationships with women because they have the power in this dynamic. you claiming to be a misandrist while having a bf just proves you're a willing participant in your own subjugation and that you're all bark and no bite though

I'm getting kind of sick of people saying things like "you have to be careful, predators are masters of disguise" because in my experience the reality is that most people will bend over backwards to make excuses for and defend very obviously creepy behavior from men. Middle aged men will make crude, sexual comments about underage girls all the time and usually the adults around them will laugh and brush it off, and if you say anything against it they'll accuse you of being dramatic. People will overlook obvious red flags that a man is a predator and then when the guy is finally arrested for child porn/rape they want to pretend like there was no way they could have known. It seriously pisses me off.
