I feel bad for even asking. I know things are shitty right now.

Last month, my ex died by suicide. His girlfriend (victim) at the time began to have seizures after he str*ngled her during their relationship and she became unable to work. She is fighting with disability right now but she is utterly on her own. She has until September to raise $4,500 for a place to live for herself and her three cats and a few months rent while she navigates the system. If you cant donate, could you please share?

This is Andrea Dworkin’s definition of pornography, which I was thinking of when writing:

“the graphic sexually explicit subordination of women through pictures or words”. In her book she states that this also applies if men, children, or transgender people are being used in this way. (Although she uses the word transsexual).

Yes, people will always sext and post nudes. But pornography, as understood as sexually explicit propaganda, is a result of a severely misogynistic culture and shouldn’t be understood as a normal part of life.

I also don’t think that imperialism or imperial actions taken by governments are eternal. All of the imperial actions taken by governments like the United States are choices.

Whenever a feminist will criticize any set of harmful practices against women the knee jerk response is always “well these things will always exist anyway so learn to live with it”.

How many times have we heard “sex work will always exist”, “pornography will always exist”, “predatory males will always exist” followed by “so it’s best to just let people do what they ‘want’ to do”.

Meanwhile all of the revolutionary energy is towards things that negatively affect males. Seizing the means of production and massively redistributing wealth, making healthcare free and accessible to everybody, abolishing the prison system, and making immigration effortless while also keeping out dangerous criminals is all completely possible and worth protest, riots, and boycotts. But pornography, prostitution, and males breaking women’s boundaries are just inevitable?

The hierarchies of capitalism and imperialism can be dismantled, but gender is somehow eternal and untouchable.

One of those “tirf” ai aided blogs which keep popping with the relentless “defining women by biology limits us” talking point thinks that libertarian means the same thing as liberationist. That’s such a funny confusion and I understand how someone would make it but they completely double down on it.

This is your reminder that these blogs with this same condescending tone and random colored words and an ai pfp literally have no idea what they are talking about. It is a tra infiltrator 100%. And these blogs have nothing to do with the TIRFs who are actually real people and do believe in sexed based oppression but have certain views more friendly to trans identity.

Did anyone ever like attempt to document and compile the variations of Barney the dinosaur murder ballads across the elementary school system in the early 2000s. Like legit it has always fascinated me as a phenomena and I would love to know if there were like traceable regional variations or what.

I also do not give a single fuck if conservatives consider anything with gay people in it to be pornographic, the answer is to decouple homosexuality from pornography, not to support porn.

they associate gay people with rapists and pedophiles too that doesn’t mean we support anyone we’re shoved into the same category as in order to save our own skin, but some of you soulless ghouls actually supports those people too

I'm gonna learn to code and make a game called No Misogyny thats only gameplay feature is violent and sadistic murder & torture of men. Maybe start with one catcalling the women protag and she murders him for it. Actually they don't even have to be misogynistic they can just be chilling. We'll see who likes censorship the most when Ball Cutting Simulator 1000 hits the market.

I get some great anons too but you just gotta be alright with reading the weirdest shit ever from time to time.

lately i’ve been seeing many women/girls following me as “cryptos”, yk the usual likes/following disabled, pronouns in bio, etc… so i’ve been thinking of turning on my asks for the first time ever.

i wanted to ask to the women of radblr with asks on, how bad is it? with all the asks i see y’all geting from males, i’m kinda wary, but i would also like to hear what the incognito women have to say.

Writing out entire vent posts on here and then just deleting them is so cathartic. Highly recommend. I realize I don’t actually want anyone to offer advice or give sympathy, all I needed was to write it down. Anyways everyone give me sympathy and advice for my undisclosed issue!

I am literally trying So Hard to remain nuanced and vigilant and politically aware when it comes to the risks various types of legislation re: online content could potentially pose for things like political censorship and government surveillance. my partner literally lived through the gradual persecution of LGBT people under the Russian regime and is teaching me about it. I am not uninformed I am not naïve I am not oblivious to the dangers of authoritarianism.

but I feel like I'm going In-Sane trying to show people how genuinely Not Normal it is that for the past 30 years, countless children have been given access to technology that is capable of showing them 18+, pornographic content with almost no limitations, and the worst victims of this have been little girls. under almost NO other circumstances would something like this be considered acceptable. if there was a movie theatre that was caught handing out free tickets to a viewing of Deep Throat to 12 year old girls whose parents weren't around, there would be public outcry. people would be taken to COURT. any kind of strict internet age restrictions, at this point, are a mild response.

the only way I can explain it to myself is either that people simply aren't aware how mind-bogglingly dystopian child internet usage is at this point in time because they were lucky enough to dodge some of its worst effects (in which case, I have my work cut out for me), or that online porn overexposure has just become so normalized that people are having trouble seeing that anything is even wrong to begin with.

but I'm just. I'm grabbing people like this. and I'm going to sound like a cartoonish paranoid overprotective mother campaigning against Dungeons and Dragons for being satanic for saying this but I'm asking them to Please Think of the Children

[girlfishes]

No. I have no idea why I do this. It’s usually only 7 which is the very end of normal range so no doctor is concerned. It’s been like this for 8 years and I have been very healthy and very unhealthy during that time but my period has stayed consistently 7 days. Some of us just get the short end of the stick and a long period.

I find it hard to participate in any discourse around JoJo Siwa because I just think her childhood should have been illegal.

OH MY GOD logging into my normie accounts is so ARRGHGGF. like why are you people shitting pissing crying in earnest because rape/ incest simulator games got fucking deleted??? I know I've seen posts on here about it but I guess seeing people refuting the pushback here, and then switching to my alt and people are instructing each other on how exactly to call these companies so they'll make the "games" available again is so fucking maddening. I saw a post instructing people to say that collective shout is a extremist religious group. No the fuck it's not? One single google search would prove that to you but these people are operating under some sort of mass psychosis. Or a psyop.

Day 3 is crazy.. day 5 I give up and day 7 it gives up

you cannot argue for how important good representation in media is for minority groups and how damaging bad representation can be then turn around and say watching porn has no impact on how you view yourselves and others

QUESTION: When you left radical queer/liberal feminism…

I recently asked people to reblog a post if they’d been deep in radical queer/liberal feminist ideology before they turned to radical feminism. I’m stunned by the number of reblogs.

A follow-up question for anyone who is willing to share:

Why?

What was the final straw for you?
