so let me get this straight, y'all can understand how being racially "colourblind" fails to address racism because it fails to distinguish the oppressing vs oppressed classes, but y'all can't wrap your heads around how pretending "biosex" is undetectable/unimportant does the same thing? y'all can acknowledge that race is immutable and biological and changes the way you are treated in the world even though there is no actual scientific basis for any race's superiority, but no one's supposed to acknowledge that being female is distinct from being male and changes the way you are treated in the world even though there is no actual scientific basis for a superior sex? y'all see why it's offensive for a white person to say "I just feel like a black person, like Im sassy and love fried chicken and soul music" and pretend that that means they've never had white privilege, but a male saying "I just feel like a woman, I'm always nesting and clumsy and hypersexualised" is the most oppressed woman of all?

seeing the disparity in the concurrent discussions of BLM vs sex based oppression has really just further convinced me that liberals don't believe women are actually an oppressed class. obviously they're different issues and I'm not trying to be inflammatory, but this comparison fits for any axis of oppression where acknowledging a difference between the privileged and disenfranchised is not the same as granting the natural supremacy of the privileged.

’No one is forcing gay men or lesbians to date trans people if they don’t want to’

Social coercion and shame is a type of force. It’s shaming gay people for their sexuality, telling them that they are wrong and broken, and telling them that the only way they can be ’right’ or ’an ally’ is to date trans people.

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". [Source: https://www.nelp.org/publication/broken-laws-unprotected-workers-violations-of-employment-and-labor-laws-in-americas-cities/ ]

• 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.

some leftists r like i’ll retweet memes about killing rich people and police officers all day but if i hear a woman express the sentiment that rapists deserve to die im not sure that kind of disturbing and violent rhetoric should be allowed

I love it when women

Something to be said about how often butch lesbians are drawn with narrow hips and barely any tit as compared to drawings of femmes and osa women.

It just doesn't feel progressive to me, sorry.

they "toned down the misogyny" w Sokka but then made Katara into a passive child™️ when she is notoriously head strong and just as stubborn as Sokka and a Mom™️ to them all. me thinks the misogyny just got rebranded

[homolesbo]

"you wouldn't criticize a cis woman for [misogyny]!"

1. yeah i would

2. a "cis" woman is an actual woman

3. a woman with internalized misogyny is tragic but very different from a man being misogynistic

[homolesbo]

it worries me deeply that we have an entire adult population on earth that has officially conflated “i want” and “i like to have” and “i enjoy” with “i need” or “i deserve” or “i will suffer cruelly without” or “i am being deliberately deprived of”

[homolesbo]

this makes me so saaaaad. if women collectively would realise nothing about our natural appearances needs to be altered we would shatter multi billion companies in the blink of an eye AND everyone would be happier. stop being your own biggest bullies! there is nothing wrong with your natural face and hair!
