“How Are You Going To Enforce Female Only Spaces? Genital Checks At The Door?!”

we used to have conversations about whether rape jokes were okay and now leftist men are like ummm of course they're okay. dark humor is how i cope with the patriarchy. real feminists agree with me. btw you're a cunt.

I think more people on radblr should be talking about sweatshops, especially in the garment industry.

• Around 80% of sweatshop workers are women. Some employers force them to take birth control and pregnancy tests to avoid having to pay for maternity leave. Pregnant women are routinely denied sick leave to visit doctors, terminated from their contracts early, or left without any maternity leave when their short-term contracts are not renewed.

• Women are more likely than men to experience minimum wage violations. According to one study, "30 percent of the women workers in our sample experienced minimum wage violations, compared to 20 percent of the men".

• Indonesian women employees report that “girls in the factory are harassed by male managers. They come on to the girls, call them into their offices, whisper into their ears, touch them, bribe them with money and threaten them with firing if they don’t have sex with them.” [source: cleanclothes.org]

• "Toilet breaks are monitored, and some workers said they were flat out denied them, even when sick. The same goes for water and lunch breaks, both necessary to stay healthy when working 12+ hour days in a stuffy, overcrowded factory." 20% of women in sweatshops report experiencing sexual violence.

It's easy not to support this kind of abuse. Do not buy clothes first-hand. Only buy from thrift shops and second-hand apps, or find ethical brands and investigate where and how they make their clothing (hint: if a t-shirt costs $3, it's not ethical). Patch your old clothes. Consider learning basic sewing (it's not as difficult as it seems!)

I don't care how cheap Shein and Temu are. I don't care how much you think you need that specific Zara coat. Buying clothes directly harms women and avoiding it is a very easy way to help.

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

We should bring back lobotomies. Just for you.

“feminism has taken away true love !1!!!” THIS IS WHAT FEMINISM SAVED US FROM.

tumblr leftists being surprised to see middle aged white women with signs or hats saying "deny defend depose" really reinforces for me that tumblr leftists don't actually talk to people lmao. like I did a lot of canvassing as a teenager and you know who the best most reliable political organizers are? middle aged women. you know who's bloodthirsty after watching rachel maddow every night and sharing HuffPo articles on facebook? middle aged women. maybe sheryl from iowa who's been voting religiously for democrats for the past thirty years IS more hardcore than you, tumblr user who did a write-in "protest vote." what are you going to do about that.

smthing i can just never believe when ppl (mostly twitter users) complain about a girl character being made to look 'mannish' or 'masculine' and talk about the death of femininity and every time i get excited and think 'oh okay cool did we get a butch character or-' and its literally jusg a regular fucking woman like you would see at the grocery store. like jusyt a normal woman

men be like

Meanwhile most men have skid marks in their underwear

I hate the weird smell insecurity (idk what else to call it) that's being pushed on women rn. All of the whole body deodorants that are being advertised, the videos about """female hygiene"""", how you need to smell good down there, and "how to smell like a SNACK 😍 all day long". Perfumes, body mists and scented lotions are a huge deal rn, which says to me that companies have found yet another way to make women overly self-aware and paranoid about how they are perceived, as well as a new way to exploit them consistently for money. It never ends, the creativity is insane. If its not one thing its another.
