I just love gatekeeping in general. Like no I don't acknowledge you as asexual if you have sex and enjoy it. No I don't acknowledge you as a True Punk if you buy your clothes on shein. No I don't acknowledge you as a vegetarian if you eat chicken nuggets sometimes. No I don't acknowledge you as a lesbian if you date men. No I don't acknowledge you as OCD if you diagnosed yourself and believe intrusive thoughts are "step on that leaf lol". Words have definitions and there are certain criteria you need to meet in order to fit specific identities and labels. MAKE CALLING PEOPLE POSERS GREAT AGAIN‼️

skin is not supposed to be perfectly smooth and clear and unblemished. it’s literally like 5 sq ft of organ that’s ENTIRELY ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOUR BODY. it’s supposed to protect you and your organs and your muscles and ligaments etc. without skin that can adapt we would all be riddled with infections and pain. even “imperfect” skin loves you and doesn’t want you to suffer. be nice to it . it is your friend

Is it just me or is this comment insanely funny

Women literally grow leg hair naturally, not through some masculine-envy meditation ritual. They don’t look more like men with leg hair, they look more like adult human females with leg hair.

Something happened in my English class that I think perfectly sums up how so many people don't understand feminism.

At the beginning of each class, we have to talk about something in english for two minutes. This woman decided to talk about radical feminism in South Korea. She explained how feminists there decide not to date men, have sex with men, marry men and have kids with men anymore. It was very interesting and well explained, and I was happy to see another woman from my uni talking about feminism. From what I understood, she's not Korean but goes to Korea often and has a lot of radical feminists friends there.

Then another woman raises her hand and asks "don't you think these rules are a little bit tough?". I roll my eyes, but the other woman is confused. She frowns. "What rules? What are you talking about?". "I mean, the not dating men rule. Isn’t it a bit too tough?". "Well of course it's tough for the men but that's the goal isn’t? Feminism has to be a bit tough to men in order to work". She really didn't seem to understand what that other woman meant, and the other was apparently confused about it. "I mean for the women... for the Korean women. Aren't these rules too tough for Korean feminists? Isn’t there a way to help women without giving them such hard rules to follow?".

I was very annoyed (so was the woman who talked about this movement in the first place) because how can you miss the point so badly? How does she think feminism works? Does she believe some sort of higher power gives Korean women rules to follow and that they get thrown in jail if they date a man? How can you describe this movement as "rules"? They aren't rules. They would be rules if Korean women were forced to obey them, if they were punished for dating men. That's not the case. What's happening is that some women decide of their own free will to stop dating men (among other things). They don't follow any rules, they freely chose to do what they do. It's about women's freedom, about women deciding what they do with their life and body. But I guess people nowadays use this concept only to defend prostitution and makeup, without understanding it in reality, when it comes to women doing things that go against what the patriarchy wants them to do.

Anyway, I find it interesting that this woman's first conclusion was that these were rules rather than free choices. This is why many people see radical feminism as a cult; they can't understand the idea of women making their own choices if those choices defy patriarchy. They think we must be some kind of cult that brainwashes them and forces them to obey and follow complicated rules, because how else can a woman decide to stop fucking men? A free woman would never do that.

Once you start noticing the passive voice being used for men's actions, you can't unsee it. In history class it was always "women weren't seen as equal human beings" or "women weren't able to own property or have jobs or get education" rather than men legally considered women their property and banned them from work, school, and property rights.

In the news it's always "girl raped in park" or "woman killed in home" which would make some sense if the perpetrator was unknown, but they often have already caught the culprit by the time the article comes out and it's always a man.

The amount of times I've seen a headline about a man murdering his entire family before killing himself being titled "man commits suicide after family is killed" with a nice little family photo of them is absolutely absurd.

Hell, just last night I saw an article titled, "3 kids killed after mom let ex-partner take them to get food." Her male ex took the kids to get food and murdered them before killing himself. Not only is the headline passive, but it also phrases it in a way that makes the mother somehow look guilty like she knew what he had planned or knew he was insane.

To top it off, people get really uncomfortable if you stop using the passive voice for this stuff. They start squirming if you straight up say "men wrote laws banning women from voting" even when that is literally what happened. BOTH men and women act this way. It's like we're all just supposed to pretend that rape, enslavement, murder, and other human rights violations against women just fell from the sky.

All men hate male pop stars and teenage girls because those male pop stars are made for women. They are geared towards female sexuality. They got everything in this world functioning to fulfil their sexual fantasy, but the only thing that goes against their order is teenage girls loving idols. It shows them what girls actually prefer. Not unshowered, animalistic men, but rather men who fit women's decided standards. They are afraid it gives women expectations. The same goes for drama and movies. You'll see they hate women who watch movies and dramas too and call them irrational for their standards.

[Note: I don't support idol culture or celebrity culture, I am just explaining the phenomenon]

Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted

When I think about it, men always practice separatism. When I was a child, only my brother could play with our cousins because he was a boy. When I was in school, football was an activity mainly for boys : they didn’t want girls in their team. In my study field, I was the only woman for two years. Now, we are two. The men always stay together. When I was doing an internship in electrical maintenance, there were no women. Whenever they can, men stay between them. Yet, when a woman expresses her desire to be around other women, she is irrational and she needs to be open about welcoming men.

also the fact that porn is often embedded in some sort of daily scenario instead of at least just showing sexual acts should worry more people.

why do men need to see boss and employee? delivery guy/post man/whatever and woman home alone? or even worse, teacher and student? stepdad and stepdaughter?

it is not just about the arousal of watching sexual acts being performed, they need to see women being available at any time, they want to imagine themselves just „taking“ random women, even the women (and girls) closest to them. also notice how many times there is some type of authority involved?

makes you wonder how many men you encounter in daily situations, even within your family or friend circle, at work, when you order something, really dont see you as a woman, as a person, but as a mere object for their sexual fantasies.

especially considering how often these situations actually happen, and how often there is sexual assault involved.

I swear today's teens are so mentally fucked up it isn't funny. They legit think that fashion styles are genders and that posting your nudes on Onlyfans is a legit career choice and that it's normal to be surrounded by "friends" who will cancel you and ruin your life the moment you say one thing they disagree with and that getting choked out while having sex is normal and that being constantly afraid of social ostracization is just the way friendship works and that businesses using your personal info to control the media and products you are advertized isn't something to worry about.

The Kids are Not Alright and someday we are going to pay the price for letting this happen.

TikTok has absolutely rotted peoples mind. I’m sure you’ve seen this trend of mainly cis women posting what they look like without cosmetic work done in response to the rise of plastic surgery and facial filler becoming more of a norm. Everyone who has participated in this trend has gotten utterly ripped apart and bullied in the comments.

This was the top comment and like.. what are you talking about? Have we forgotten what real people look like?

Finished 'femininity and domination' and i'm just gobsmacked. in a world full of propaganda about "reclaiming femininity", it feels like resistance to remember that femininity is not a harmless collection of traits and aesthetics but a politicized value system that demands the subordination of women. femininity not only demands women be subordinate but teaches them how to be subordinate and take pleasure in their subordination. and it makes power, real power, seem dull and abstract. it's an excellent mechanism for producing docile persons

this was something i intuitively understood at a young age and which was slowly eroded after a decade of "feminist" attempts to reclaim the value system that demands our subordination. gender was and still is about power
