OP is 19 years old. This kind of safeguarding-ass post is indicative of an desire to want everyone to get along. I get it. At 19 I was also very worried about the health and welfare of men, and still am very much so today. What's shitty about this post is that one, OP is trying to tell people what to do. This is a blogging platform that has nothing to do with political activism and never will, as with anything on the internet ever will, and that OP thinks that a bunch of anonymous people on Tumblr posting KAM is a overarching political statement because it's on "feminism blogs" is a sign of immaturity. Secondly, people are, for good or bad, allowed to post nearly anything they want. The proportion of posts that beg to choke and strangle women, either sexually or violently, outnumber the immature and reactive KAM posting, yet that violence is so normalized that it's seen as an individual taste or sexual fetish that is free from criticism. I understand that OP feels that in order to subvert the system for women's equality, we must do it legally and with men at our side. But feminism is not for men, and men are far better supporting each other and women in the fight of classism, which is for both sexes. OP is misinterpreting the anger of individual people and the comments that they make to systemic oppression, but there is a difference between those things. I appreciate that OP considers someone's vent post or tag to be of equal power as men who disappear women in suitcases and bury them in landfills, but in order for sexism to exist in the way you say it does, OP, women have to have been in positions of legitimate power, legal, cultural, and social, in order to oppress men. It hasn't happened. If anything, your post can be interpreted that because you're posting this, you could never feel this way, and you're morally better than those that do, hence the offense.

for anyone confused:

Hating men is not feminism. Saying 'kill all men' is not feminism. Going out of your way to ridicule and mock men is not feminism. SEXISM IS NOT FEMINISM. Feminism is described as 'the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes.' Notice how it says SEXES? That's INCLUDING of men. Feminism is not hate speech against men, it's EQUALITY against men. Hate to break it to you, girl, but hating on men is in no way at all close to feminism and what it's about. You're not a slay queen girl boss feminist, you're just a bully.

It's really something to just lay on the ground in the rain about when you realize that women have been brainwashed since birth by their mothers, fathers, relatives, church members, coworkers, classmates, media, religion, and culture to have this mentality and to center it into their wellbeing. They take the morally good nebulous concept of doing well for people that is in every child's heart and they make it subservience to men for girls and subservience of the patriarchal establishment for boys.

Drain yourself. Bleed yourself. Starve yourself. Deprive yourself of being in the single, individual life that you have because your sex has been legally determined inferior in a thousand year history. Women have never needed independence when they have a man to take care of them, so what if he doesn't see you as a person? As least he doesn't beat you. So what if he beats you? At least he's not leaving visible marks. So what if he's beaten you so badly you've ended up in urgent care under a pseudonym so he doesn't find you? At least you're still alive.

Everyone in a woman's life is pushing her to center men. Every word spoken or held back faults her for wanting to live her life beyond his 2-dimensionality. Most women will live their lives this way, it's the only way that the patriarchy struggles to stay afloat. When a woman is held into a status quo of being "Boy crazy" I don't fault her. The system doesn't want independent women, and I understand what it's like to have a life where you're taught to think like that.

To me, when a woman really centers men in her life that whole behavior has a wash of immaturity over it. Like oh my God I cannot believe at this age you still live in this fantasy land where men care about you, or are worth the amount of respect you're giving them. I find it immature that you're not centering yourself

“I don’t want to be seen as a woman, I just want to be seen as a person!”

Believe it or not, women are in fact people.

I can't know for certain because you know, we don't live in that timeline. But I have a sneaking suspicion that if some of the stuff happening with young men right now were happening with young women instead it would be treated as evidence of female inferiority. If boys were outperforming girls in school, you'd have op eds in major newspapers questioning whether girls need or deserve a formal education. Folks would be trying to revive the debate over colleges admitting women. If young women were losing tons of money to sports betting, you'd have serious proposals for giving men control over their finances "for their own good". The notion that any group of people is inherently inferior and should be excluded from society is wrong, not matter who it's applied to. That idea is considered off the table when we talk about men, but not so much about women.

“A woman from the audience asks: ‘Why were there so few women among the Beat writers?’ and [Gregory] Corso, suddenly utterly serious, leans forward and says: “There were women, they were there, I knew them, their families put them in institutions, they were given electric shock. In the ’50s if you were male you could be a rebel, but if you were female your families had you locked up.”

most female pop singers are a face used to market songs written and produced by men, styled and choreographed and directed by men, dressing men's thoughts up as women's thoughts and then convincing the world this is how women think and feel because men's words are coming out of a woman's mouth

there used to be a time where black women would centre themselves & other black women & girls only in their activism. they would write & publish statements talking about & heavily critiquing liberal spaces that were anti-racist & anti-sexist with how they tend to leave black women & girls out of the conversation. even before the term intersectionality was coined, black women knew exactly how to explain their own oppression. nowadays, black women don't have that same focus for their own issues anymore & it's actually very sad & disappointing. many liberal black women believe themselves that if they're not fighting for everyone else other than themselves, even when they show them their asses to kiss constantly with their clear investment in misogynoir, then their social justice warrior-ism is pointless & useless. many liberal black women, especially the activists, believe that only focusing on the very prominent issues black women & girls face is not enough.

The whole 'men evolved to hunt, women evolved to gather' thing is total nonsense.

Evidence shows women have always hunted. They found a 9000 year old female hunter buried with weapons in Peru, and there’s a ton of other research showing women were just as involved in survival work as men.

Why would you choose a bear over a man? Because since 1784 there have been 180 fatal bear attacks, while in 2021 alone, 81,100 women and girls were intentionally killed by men.
