Transactivists Once Again Literally Rewriting Gay History. Dublin Pride Edited Out A Protest Sign That

ARACHNE Illustration by Gustave Doré of 1861 edition of Dante’s Inferno.

this is an anon curiouscat i got from a transwoman tonight…and i find it funny that as much as these males throw around the term “terf”, they genuinely don’t know shit about radical feminism. rad-feminism is quite literally centered around fighting the patriarchy and misogyny i.e. SEX BASED oppression. they are not women & they prove it every-time they use their disgusting ass dicks as a tool to exercise dominance & threaten violence against women simply fighting to protect and advance our own basic rights. it’s like keep proving radfems’ point i guess….🧍🏾‍♀️

radfems: features that make up "femininity" such as make-up, high heels, shaving, are constructs of patriarchal societies to control women

very "woke" progressive people on the internet: aw stop ruining the fun! just bc you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad!!! respect people's individual choices!!!

Rejected anthology submission

ok heres my hot take: women can make whatever fictional content they want i trust them to still be normal irl. men are mentally fragile, easily influenced and should not be allowed to read

The way male game developers always make female characters walk is ridiculous. They'll be like "look at the graphics and light and ambiance we've worked so hard to make it look realistic" and then the female character starts walking in the most absurd way swaying her hips like she's on a strip club's podium with her back arched. And in the comments women have to explain that it's not how women walk, sir, please stop. Even in cutesy innocent games it comes up. Embarrassing.

sometimes being a woman comes with an expectation of being all things at one time, all the time. sometimes being a woman reminds me of the desert, where everything is beautiful but also sharp; everything’s learned to grow defenses. while I was being raised up as a young girl I was taught to brush my hair & make sure I was presentable before I left the house, but also to watch my back & walk tall & strong against those who’d try to fuck with me. I still carry that today - I’ll have a dress & lipstick on but also a knife strapped in my boot. I like the way the steel feels against my ankle.

CHELSEA WOLFE ON WHAT BEING A WOMAN MEANS TO HER

If eyeliner grants women more power, why does it not grant men more power? Who is granting women power when they wear eyeliner? Why? What kind of power is it?

If eyeliner is worn almost entirely by women and wearing eyeliner "sharp enough to kill a man" is feminist, which specific feminist issue does eyeliner tackle (menstrual health, sexual harassment, medical misogyny, domestic violence shelters)?

How does eyeliner liberate you from the patriarchy (not make you feel good, liberate you ― there's a difference)?

I wish it were more acceptable for girls and women to just call feminine beauty expectations degrading.
