I Know This Is An Odd Post To Make, But In Case Someone Needs To Hear It, Rad Fems Have Been In Your

‘the majority of men are good’

‘It’s only a few bad ones’

Then why have women be oppressed for centuries?

I want women who enjoy their rights rn oblivious to history and to everything going around them to see this. You can not take a backseat that you're safe now forever. You have to stay active, or this happens. Men will choose to oppress women instead of addressing their complaints. Out of all the proposed solutions like maternity leave, shorter work days, egalitarian house chores, etc, they choose to reduce women back to incubators.

Things I support:

dysphoric people (trans or not)

getting dysphoric people access to better healthcare

getting transitioning people access to better healthcare

getting trans people healthcare which presents treatment for dysphoria and transition as options and does not pressure anyone to do anything

scientific research into the health risks and long-term effects of various aspects of transitioning (binding, hormone therapy, psychological patterns, etc.)

safety and autonomy of trans people

detransitioned people

Things I do not support:

males in female spaces

female spaces being compromised into free-for-all “gender neutral” spaces (while male spaces are left untouched)

medically transitioning children

lesbians & gay men have to be “open to” dating transwomen/transmen respectively or they’re transphobic

lesbians & gay men should “re-examine” their “genital fetishes” (i.e. DIY conversion therapy)

presenting medical transition as the only route for dysphoric people

pressuring dysphoric and/or gender-nonconforming people to identify as trans

erasing gender-nonconforming women like joan of arc from women’s history by claiming they were transmen

erasing gay figures like marsha p. johnson from gay rights history by claiming they were trans

rapists, murderers and predators who hold (or held) positions of influence in the trans movement (biko, rivers, alok, etc etc)

“centering” males in female reproductive rights

silencing female issues to cater to transwomen’s feelings

silencing victims of male trans people in the interest of “not making transwomen look bad”

violent and/or intimidating protests, no-platforming, other intimidation tactics, as an attempt to ban women’s writing, silence women’s dissenting voices, and erase women’s achievements

people identifying as trans based on gender stereotypes, outdated notions of “brain sex,” or nebulous feelings rather than sex dysphoria

transwomen being allowed to pretend they were not socialized male

transwomen being allowed to pretend they do not, and have never held male privilege

transmen’s experiences with female socialization and sex-based oppression being silenced and transmen being thrown under the bus in order to make the previous two points appear legitimate

pushing false statistics, lies, and strawman arguments to demonize anyone who questions trans theory

“TERF”

subsequent TERF witch-hunts, block lists, demanding that no one so much as hear what radical feminists have to say and instead blindly accept a strawman version of what we believe

ostracizing and bullying of anyone who expresses curiosity about radical feminist ideas, reveals that they’ve read radical feminist blogs, or so much as reblogs memes from radical feminists

denial of basic biology

denial of basic sociology

denial of sex-based oppression

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.

redeeming moment for crazy white women everywhere

"A man just killed himself, he was lonely because no woman wanted to have sex with him and be his slave"

Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.

The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.

I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.

How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.

I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.

85% of survivors of prostitution report being victims of incest as children, 90% were physically abused, and 98% were emotionally abused.

“Incest is boot camp. Incest is where you send the girl to learn how to do it. So you don't, obviously, have to send her anywhere, she's already there and she's got nowhere else to go. She's trained. And the training is specific and it is important: not to have any real boundaries to her own body; to know that she's valued only for sex; to learn about men what the offender, the sex offender, is teaching her. But even that is not enough, because then she runs away and she is out on the streets and homeless. For most women, some version of all these kinds of destitution needs to occur,

I have thought a lot in the last couple of years about the meaning of homelessness for women. I think that it is, in a literal sense, a pre- condition, along with incest and poverty in the United States, to create a population of women who can be prostituted. But it has a wider meaning, too. Think about where any woman really has a home.

No child is safe in a society in which one out of three girls is going to be sexually abused before she is eighteen. No wife is safe in a society in which recent figures appear to say that one out of two married women has been or is being beaten. We are the homemakers; we make these homes but we have no right to them.”
