women are being actively erased and harmed but apparently all eyes have to be on the trans movement because it "starts with them" 🙏
If you Google "India rape news" these are the top articles that show up (they're all from today btw). And these are just the reported cases.
According to a report, 99% of sexual assault cases against Indian women go unreported.
Indian women are subjected to the worst kind of abuse by men. Misogyny is so deeply rooted here that honestly, I don’t think there’s any hope for us.
And the truth is, nothing we do matters. I could read all the feminist literature in the world, I could make endless lists of everything that’s wrong with this country, I could create space for women online and offline - but men would still continue to hurt us.
And my main issue is with men. Especially with the ones who understand exactly what’s wrong and still choose silence. The ones who laugh off their friends' remarks towards women, ignore how their fathers treat their mothers, and think they’re somehow better just because they’ve “never abused a woman.”
Their silence is our abuse. Their refusal to speak is our abuse.
And then there are women who’ve internalised misogyny so deeply, they defend and uphold the very systems that destroy us. That’s our abuse too.
And as a woman who doesn’t have the privilege to leave this country, I will continue to bear this abuse because I have no choice.

Can I just say this weird social media push of "girl cat boy cat" pisses me off there was this girl i overheard who was petting a cat who was showing her a lot of love and talking about adopting her but when she found out she was a girl cat she was like "I don't like girl cats" like what the fuck are we doing misogyny against cats now
Taken from r/ftm, this topic was about transphobia from other trans people, but just ended up being women talking about being sexually assaulted or controlled by trans-identified men. These transwomen don't even respect transmen's identities, yet demand their identities be respected, they are not your allies or your friends. Don't let people fool you into thinking transwomen are the most oppressed when they regularly sexually assault female trans-identified people. Remember this when people say transwomen are not socialized male, or that sex isn't real or doesn't matter.
defending the commodification of sexual assault, defending the regime of heterosexuality, defending the cultural degradation of women, defending the eroticization and degradation of children, is ultimately why failenniels have beef with so-called “puriteens.” failenniels are increasingly upset that people see through the failed projects of sex positivity and liberal feminism. those ideologies are insufficient, infantile, male supremacist, and reinforce gender hierarchy. they defended a published book that eroticized child predation, they defended a video game that eroticized sexual violence against women. people can very clearly see that liberals are simply trying to intellectualize and obfuscate a retrograde sort of hedonism. they are mad that people don’t accept that violence is beyond critique if it can be presented as a kink. it’s screams from a dying empire.

I hate how a woman's pride and love for her anatomy has been reduced to something political and "terfy". I remember being 17 in an advanced art class that just happened to be all girls and making vulva pendants necklaces with each other, and I doubt any of us had any inkling of what radical feminism was or what trans exclusionary actually meant.
In a world dominated by phallocentrism and only sexualized depictions of the female form, it's important for young women to learn to love her body without having to sexualize, commodify or objectify it. Let us love our body with only pure love, and let us show that love through art, without demonizing us for it.
You're telling me the limp-wristed UK that collectively pees their panties at the thought of a woman protecting herself with a firearm, that has an epidemic of stabbings, and that usually never gives sentences longer than about 17 minutes has given a rape victim who defended herself with a knife, 17 YEARS??? 🤬
Roit, then, a load o' bollocks, that, Bruvs, innit?
when people say that women in the entertainment industry who are sexualised are expressing their own sexuality, i often think of these youtube videos that came out when i was a teenager from the buzzfeed try guys of all people
in the first one, they get styled and photoshopped the way male celebrities do, and in the second they are styled, posed and photoshopped like female celebrities
their comments are surprisingly insightful
"there was nothing human about that, i was just an object"
"in an effort to photoshop you more to female standards, your look has gone from 'i will either murder or fuck you' to 'wont you please come fuck me?'"
when women are styled this way, they aren't expressing their own desire, they're embodying cultural stereotypes that say women don't have their own sexuality, they are objects for men to project their own sexuality onto. and when male sexuality is caught up in ideas of dominance and conquest, performing for the male gaze becomes consistently degrading
