Only a deeply misogynist society would enshrine the ideals that womanhood can solely be defined by a feeling in a man’s head, but cannot be solely defined by women’s biology, our lived realities (and oppressions) faced by being female sexed.
Still can’t believe they canceled to catch a predator bc one of the predators killed himself. That should’ve been like the goal of the whole program from the jump this world I swear
shit like this has bothered me since forever and I only realize why now, its because they try to break norms without going all the way through, to the point of going backwards. Yes, a man can be pretty and soft BUT that makes him a princess! Or a wife! Or a material girl!
Notice how the essential social meaning of princess and wife never change. Notice how they have trouble wanting to consider that pretty men can be pretty princes, or pretty husbands. Notice how the roles associated with these words (wife and husband will always mean entirely different things to them) never change. They cannot fathom it, and because they do not want to think without the base of stereotypical gender.
Its all 'FUCK GENDER ROLES', but babes you depend on them so much. Your whole ideology would crumble and you wouldn't feel so special anymore without those stereotypes. Which is why progress on gender roles is not only stagnating but actively regressing, now anyone can opt into boxes that should have been destroyed long ago for the sake of true progress, but are being kept around for decoration.
Something I noticed when I was stripping was that the younger, “hipper,” generally white patrons I came into contact with were by far the most vested in the whole “emotionally invasive performance of enthusiastic consent” thing. They all wanted to hear how I was doing it because I was “empowered” or an “exhibitionist” or just “a slutty sexual deviant that just does this for fun.” Like, I can’t even tell you how many times I actively encouraged this or worked it into a spiel, because nothing kills a sale like a pang of conscience alerting men that maybe this smart, seemingly stable girl doesn’t want to be here. I think that thinking I was “into it” somehow made it easier for them to feel like they weren’t just giant losers paying for sex.
I am entirely convinced that men only care about women being “empowered” by things like sex work because its easier on their ego as consumers, not because they give a shit about our wellbeing. Sex positive feminism is a dream come true for these men - all the benefits of exploiting women as sexual commodities without any guilt or stigma for being a creepy ass john.

Libfems: Trans women are women and if your feminism doesn’t include them then it’s not real feminism and also your innate sexual orientation is transphobic and gynophilic and you need to unpack that and also yes men should have access to all our spaces you bigot and trans women are the MOST vulnerable women in the world like the MOST vulnerable ever
TRA try not to be wrong for 2 seconds challenge (failed)
Maybe if they actually looked at any TERFs post they'd see it's NOT all about white women.
Of course, sometimes it's going to be about white women, but it's NOT JUST about white women. Common sense is out the window with these tra.
Not trans. Not a drag queen.
Absolutely baffling suggested post from horsedotcom
I can never take terfs seriously because wdym you make such a big deal of, like, 1% of the population?
"I don't wanna see a penis in my public restroom." Why would that happen? Women's bathrooms don't have urinals. How many times have you seen a penis that did not belong to an average cis white man?
Most, if not all, feminist acknowledge how patriarchy affects men. So, do you really believe a man will put all the effort to not fit masculine characteristics and traditions just to go into women's bathroom? We all know what happens to someone who doesn't fit their gender roles.
what baffles me is that he doesn't even realise how stupid his point is when talking about white supremacy. yes, we are all socialised under white supremacy. but some of us are socialised as the supreme, and others are socialised as the inferior. or is he really arguing that there is no substancial difference in growing up white vs. growing up Black??
yes, we are all socialised under patriarchy. BUT YOU WERE SOCIALISED AS THE PATRIARCH omg are you really that stupid or are you pretending
