Actually I think making deepfake porn should be classified as a sex crime 💜

"Right now, young women are being told that their salvation lies in a movement which, rather than challenge the idea that female people are physically, morally and intellectually inferior, chooses to cut ties with femaleness altogether. As though, if we insist that “feminism is for everyone” and “women’s rights are human rights”, the be-wombed, menstruating sub-class might get to sneak in under the radar and blend in with the real humans. If you squint a bit and don’t think too hard, this all sounds wonderful. In truth, it is anything but.

For most of my life, I’ve been aware of people disguising the view that female people are disgusting, inferior beings. After all, it remains possible to treat them as such without saying it out loud. You quietly exclude them from the places that matter, feed them lies about “different roles”, pretend the harm inflicted on their bodies is random. The underlying beliefs about what women are and what they are for do not change. The difference today is that so-called “inclusion” narratives — ones which demand that female people accommodate and include male people at all times — make them more obvious. "

"The qualities that a given period calls beautiful in women are merely symbols of the female behavior that that period considers desirable: the beauty myth is always actually prescribing behavior and not appearance."

- Naomi Wolf, The Beauty Myth

my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant woman wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and she wants to call it a baby it’s a baby. if she’s 20 weeks and she wants to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if she’s 39 weeks and calls it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was her baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.

it's not even that ppl slightly misunderstand radical feminism. they FULLY don't even know the core tenets and then end up saying stupid shit like "radical feminism thinks if you have short hair, you should be shot on sight because you have betrayed the barbie code" and will get 40k positive notes lmaoo

remember when chris evans accidentally leaked his own dick pic and he was able to brush it off with a joke while many of his fan agreed not to seek it out and instead spammed all his tags in order to bury any reposts of the picture? when has a female celebrity ever been granted that same concern, loyalty, and respect?

yes let’s convince young women that actually you don’t want to work it’s too stressful you should just stay home and be in your divine feminine and let your man make the money. no you don’t need to think about your passions or desires or the future! let a man do all that … working is hard :( and boring -_- you’re a being of light you deserve to lounge around ALL day!! no work or education necessary!

I understand all theories and psychological ideas behind analysis of serial killers but I must point out that lots of women get abandoned or abused in childhood but very rarely grow up to brutalize, slaughter, torture other people

ppl really r like “how dare you place misogyny on the same level as *ACTUAL BIGOTRY*” like idk where people get the idea that it’s like totally unreasonable to compare misogyny to racism or homophobia or to think misogyny is a serious issue

It’s so insane that if a woman is afraid of being attacked by a homeless man SHE is at fault for being a classist or whatever

When I was in domestic abuse support groups over on Facebook I quickly noticed that there were a lot of abusive men in it. They claimed to be victims of course. In fact they were convinced to be. They had read up on "narcissistic abuse" and truly believed that their partner or ex was one. In the group I'd see a daily flood of women describing the most horrid shit and the trauma inflicted on them. But men's most common complaint was that their wives had been "withholding sex" which really is a form of abuse they said. Another way these men suffered from domestic abuse was through being dumped. They described a woman leaving them as a form of abuse. So two of the most common ways men are abused are... by women exercising their own free will. Obviously when men describe abuse in such a way you know they are abusive. For example, the complaints about "withholding sex" as abusive are admissions of attempted rapes through coercion and guilt tripping.

Another way women abuse men is by letting them do chores of course. One kept spamming about it, taking before and after pictures of the dishes he did while his obviously mentally unstable cruel bitch of a wife was playing with the kids. I screenshoted everything and sent it to her. And yet another fascinating post was this man, obviously another victim, who saw his ex's new boyfriend while driving and decided to follow him, as victims do. He followed him for a long while, as victims do, before the new boyfriend supposedly parked near a motel where he met a woman. Our victim parked too and watched with glee as his ex was being cheated on. When I pointed out that, no, this is not what victims do and that he was telling on himself by describing how he follows people like a creep he cried that I wasn't allowed to question him because it's a safe space for victims and it's against the rules call a moderator please help etc. That's the thing with these groups: men go in there to feel vindicated and they are. Women immediately approve and help men pathologise women based on nothing and certainly not actual descriptions of abuse. The women don't realise that they are helping a man abuse a woman. Hundreds of comments calling a woman a narcissist and the man feeling justified in taking revenge on that woman. And me being told I'm too mean.

But you know what men write the most about in those groups? How we talk too much about women being abused and not enough about men. It upsets them to see women being listened to. And again, women approve by the hundreds, "yes poor men, women can be just as evil" and on and on, ironically disproving what men are claiming: men are not ignored, they are taken way too seriously as a matter of fact.

This guy posted about being abused again, how he "fell for it" once more, how he "should have known better". He had met a woman and she had "used" him you see. Cue to the choral of women offering him support without questions. So I asked one: how did she use you? He responded that, well, she didn't really use him per say, she asked him for help, he helped, she thanked him and that was it. They weren't dating. He had met a random woman and helped her and she hadn't offered him anything in return (like her vagina, you know) she had just thanked him and that's abuse. Imagine that. Traumatised women describing really disturbing and upsetting events and men whining about women not being on their hands and knees. And both sides cohabiting in one group under the pretense that one is not oppressing the other because "domestic abuse has no gender".
