This is so suspiciously aphobic…..

you people are not even sentient. die sexless faster please we are tired of hearing about it. ropemaxx or whatever you inkwells call it

[lostangel2006]

I’m uncomfortable when things aren’t about me???

[lostangel2006]

actually the fact that it took no time at all for people to start calling the 4b movement transphobic and not inclusive enough just proves yet again how trans rights are being used (very effectively) as a means to smash women’s liberation by vilifying feminists and derailing the conversation. like just come out as men right’s activists already it’s so obvious

[lostangel2006]

already seeing people call the 4B movement "white feminism" despite being. you know. a movement started by south korean women.

white feminism just means “feminism is disagree with” and always has, but it is extra funny when it is used on a movement founded completely by non-western women of color lol.

Girl I am so tired of men. Some lefty Discord server I’m in is crying about how they “hope the 4B is only for Republican men” and like. I am not even going to try and argue with them because I’m sorry but if you become ~radicalized~ because you can’t get your dick wet that says more about you than it says about anyone else.

“i hope 4B is online for Republican men” = “I support non-vioelent resistance to the patriarchy long as it doesn’t inconvenience me personally”

get fucking realllll

what is this "as someone who escaped the alt right pipeline" failpost I've seen so many people vague about

[lostangel2006]

while we’re all publicly critiquing the “male loneliness” hysteria i want to mention that the “men’s mental health!!!” handwringing is a part of it. which is not to say that I am not empathetic to the mental health struggles of men as individuals. my wish is for everyone to have access to quality mental health care, and for people in the depths of mental illness to find support and get better.

But it’s frankly a disservice to women and everyone else to frame “men’s mental health” as a uniquely urgent social issue. I’m not going to unpack all of the statistics right now, but suffice to say men’s mental health issues are not inherently worse or more prevalent than anyone else’s. In fact, women suffer from depression at higher rates than men.

Yet women’s collective mental health does not generate mass concern or rhetorical pandering like that of men, because:

(1) our society at large does not encourage/reward collective empathy for women the way it does for men. conversely, efforts to talk about women’s issues are often treated as suspect and met with overwhelming anti-feminist backlash.

And (2) women’s mental health cannot be dredged up as an apolitical scapegoat for things like mass murder and sexual violence. because women as a group, despite suffering from equal or greater mental health struggles, do not commit those crimes at nearly the same rates as men. And when they do, no one is saying “but she was depressed” or “we should have been nicer to her” or “if only he hadn’t rejected her.”

And all this lip service to “men’s mental health” does not address or even attempt to address the explicit radical misogyny that these disaffected young men are embracing. because that would require a serious critique of systemic patriarchy and gender politics, which tends to unsettle the people who are invested in maintaining that system.

Anyway. It is extremely tiresome to see widespread patriarchal violence and resentment toward women’s social advancement dismissed with cries of “men need to be coddled more!!!”

i hope gaming consoles get prohibitively expensive and porn gets banned and women raise their standards so that we can have 70% of gen z men kill themselves

[lostangel2006]

You kweer tumblr user, do you think any other oppressor group besides men has to be coddled and told that they're good people uwu to prevent their radicalization

[lostangel2006]

- …the seventh men that you shot, did you say to yourself: “I’m out of control, I’m killing people! I need help-”

- No, no. No I thought to myself: those men are out of control. I’m sick and tired of those men out there thinking they can control us and do whatever they damn well please with our bodies! And then that they can get away with it: ‘cause it’s a male dominated society and “we’re gonna treat you the way we want to, abuse you and destroy you, it doesn’t matter to us ‘cause… we can get away with doing that.”

We're never making it out of here

[lostangel2006]

Being against ‘slut shaming’ is acceptable by Libfems but being against ‘terf shaming’ or ‘white women shaming’ isn’t because the usage of the term ‘slut shaming’ was never against dismissing and degrading women but using that framework in order to legitimize sexual objectification of women, the fallacy of inclusion that libfems love is that inclusion is only okay when it gives permission to men to demark all women as exploitable objects through the sex industry

[lostangel2006]

u cant be anti capitalism and support the porn industry btw. just something to think about for the self proclaimed commie punks on this site

Jesus, I still get so annoyed by the “trans women have periods!” statement because honest to god, cramps and headaches are not menstruation. I don’t have cramps, I don’t have any headaches or moodswings, and my digestion isn’t terribly more impacted by my menstruation than when I drink too much coffee. But I menstruate. My uterus sheds its lining and I bleed. That’s all there is to it. The discomfort a woman experiences during her menstruation varies by the individual herself. I know women who can’t function on their periods without taking several doses of ibuprofen. But it’s not the pain that defines menstruation, it’s the shedding of the uterine lining. When I suffered from an eating disorder, I went several months without menstruating. And no-one would have told me “oh, you’re still having a period! You just aren’t bleeding!” because the absence of your period is a common female experience. Whether through pregnancy or an underlying condition, menstruation still is the shedding of the uterine lining and when the uterine lining isn’t shedding, you’re not menstruating.

No one is saying that in order to be a biological female, you “have to menstruate”. Pregnant women don’t menstruate. Menopausal women don’t menstruate. Women with PCOS might not menstruate. Breastfeeding women might not menstruate. Women with a too low body weight might not menstruate. Women who go through hormone replacement therapy might not menstruate. But menstruation is an exclusively female experience and just because you’re pissy one week of the month, doesn’t mean you’re experiencing it! Stop being so godawfully misogynistic and fetishizing our biological reality.
