Oh I Was Thinking About This Post And How Male Privilege Especially Is Talked About A Few Weeks Ago.

Oh I was thinking about this post and how male privilege especially is talked about a few weeks ago. Like, here’s a fun joke for this question.

When did white feminine males get the right to vote in the U.S? The same time as every other male.

Privilege in general is often the benefits of the world built with you in mind that you don’t really think about. The feminine gay male will never have to worry about the growing price of pads and tampons and the inaccessibility of these basic hygiene products for female people. There feminine gay male will not be sneered at as ‘an adult now’ by actual adult males at 13 because of the way puberty effects their body. They do not have to think about pregnancy as a possibility after sexual assault. Those are male privileges and they have nothing to do with masculinity.

Note, heterosexual women also don’t face all the issues that homosexual and effeminate males do. This isn’t about how much worse women have it than gay men, and I don’t actually think that conversation would be particularly healthy. Oppression and the needs of the marginalized need to be understood in their own rights instead of this strange thing where we pretend helping one group will save them all.

”No one is saying you have to-“

Well ignoring the last post that literally said, ‘there is no version of no to a penis that I consider morally acceptable’ - when you call something an ‘-ist’ or ‘ic’ you’re making a negative value assessment of a behavior. If I said, ‘that’s misogynistic’ it is saying that the behavior negatively impacts female people and there’s a moral obligation to change it.

So when you call refusing sex an ‘-ist’ or ‘-ic’ act you are saying there is a moral obligation to have sex with people based on a given trait.

“ Teehee, I Don’t Want To Fuck Her! That’s All That’s Valuable To Any Discussion Regarding Gender,

“ teehee, I don’t want to fuck her! That’s all that’s valuable to any discussion regarding gender, sex, and gender based violence” girl get off the crack pipe. Yes, Hunter Schaffer is beautiful, but will never be a woman or understand the intricacies of living and being raised as a woman.

being homosexual and not wanting to sleep with the opposite sex isn’t having a genital fetish you absolute FREAKS, genitals are LITERAL erogenous zones??? that’s called having a healthy sexuality and is uhhh kind of the point of having sex, which is very unlike having an actual fetish that’s directed at an OBJECT (not normal) instead of another human’s literal sexed body (very normal!)

so stop projecting and go cut your internet cables or something

I was watching a video and there was this ‘joke’. He sees a couple fighting and it seems really threatening and aggressive only for them to start passionately making out and the end of the gag is, ‘this is why I mind my own business.’

And I can’t help but think about how I’ve read about domestic abuse previously being seen as, ‘a personal issue’ a private matter that everyone might know is going on but no one’s really supposed to talk about. It’s convenient for abusive people when others mind their own business, it’s easier to isolate their victim and make them think what’s going on is normal. It’s convenient for them to be able to hide assaults behind the thin veneer of, ‘sex games’.

Can a movement for Female People exist?

This is one of the things that ultimately loses me from the beginning with Whipping Girl. It is a work interested in reclaiming femininity from its place of degradation in the hierarchy, and that’s… Well I think you end up missing a lot of nuances of things when you claim that femininity is always seen as degrading. How many women in Congress can be accurately described as masculine? How many female singers or actresses are? It ignores the history of females like Helen Hulick or more infamously Joan of Arc whose refusal to bow to the insistence of femininity resulted in legal action/death respectively. This ‘let 👏 everyone👏 Be 👏 feminine 👏’ stuff seems really out of touch. Go outside. Female people are plenty aloud to be feminine and in fact are often alienated by their peers if they aren’t inclined towards it.

But more than that, why must feminism (especially radical feminism) be about femininity and not females? Are there not enough issues to focus on based on sex for a movement to exist with goals focused on it in mind? Perhaps this will be focused on later, but it’s almost anti intersectional to claim the majority of the world supports the idea of men and women as equals. Do females banished to menstruation huts because they are seen as ‘unclean’ and will ‘taint the people around them’ not bleed the same blood as I do? Does the female child undergoing genitalia mutilation out of a sense of tradition and who sees her vagina as something sinful and disgusting not deserve our attention? Does the female forced to give birth against her desires not deserve the right to her own body? Is it not worth it to have a movement dedicated to the rights of half of the population? Maybe this will be addressed at some other point in the novel, I may be making too quick of a judgement.

women’s bodies weren’t “made” to do anything, nature didn’t “intend” anything, no human action is “unnatural” and there is no inherent “purpose” to a human life

It’s a confusing term decision. Unlike ‘female/male’ or even ‘person with a vagina/person with a penis’, ‘birthing person’ describes an action in the present tense. Think about if I said, “running person”, that would mean the person, at this moment is running.

TERFs act like trans women shouldn't get offended when they call them men "because they are men" and then lose their shit when you call them birthing persons

See the funny thing is most people are chill with co-ed as an option. There are places where female people are too vulnerable for third spaces to be considered reasonable (Mostly related to shit like strip searching or prisons) but in 75 percent of cases single sex spaces are an alternative created because males couldn’t stop harassing people. Like most spaces for marginalized groups.
