“Be feminine or be a man” being the new progressive take is so crazy bruh

I mourn for the rebellious masc 'girl' in every movie, who grow out of her manliness and becomes some asshole's domesticated wife. I mourn for her short untameable hair, which she was always running a hand through in those old photos. I see the way her fingers linger as she goes through the album with her young daughter, forcing a laugh at who she 'used' to be.

T would have saved him.

if what the Taliban is doing to women was happening instead to a minority racial group, especially if the oppressors were white, i’m just saying, there would be A LOT more outrage.

there would be encampments, huge protests, everything you see with palestine but probably a hundred times more extreme. We’d be listing the stage of genocide this is, and calling it a second holocaust.

I mean IMAGINE a certain racial group’s voice is made illegal in public, and they have to wear a HUGE, ridiculous, uncomfortable garment like that. They aren’t allowed to leave the house without an (oppressor) escort. Banned from education or employment. No protections from violence and rape, basically less than an animal in law. IMAGINE IF ALL THAT HAPPENED TO A MINORITY RACIAL GROUP. this IS what’s happening to women.

But it’s just women and it’s just their culture so there’s nothing we can really do, who cares. Maybe we’ll do a march or two, and maybe we’ll post about it on twitter, make a few articles. But it’s just women.

That article where a law professor argues that battered women are morally entitled to kill their abusers has an interesting quote: “ Men can kill women with their bare hands, and they do. Women almost never kill men that way. They can’t. […] While very few women kill abusive men who are asleep or passed out, it’s “unfair” to charge them with first degree murder, Sheehy argues. “It’s not fair to characterize it as the most heinous form of murder, because it may be their own route to survival. ” There have probably been feminist analyses of this already, but it’s worth discussing how the concept of self-defence, especially in domestic violence cases, was designed by men to benefit men. In my country at least, your attack is only considered “legitimate self-defence” if it is a) necessary, b) immediate, c) proportionate. A concept of self-defence that only applies if you hurt or kill someone while they are attacking you, and if you hurt or kill them using the same weapons as them (your bare hands, if that’s what they are using) only benefits people who are likely to be attacked by people of similar size and physical strength, and is utterly useless to women.

When a bigger, stronger male beats up his much smaller wife, it’s almost impossible for her to kill him in self-defence (immediately and proportionately ie with nothing but her fists), and yet it’s the scenario through which she can hope to be acquitted or get a light sentence. That’s not a coincidence. The other two scenarios (and she will be despised if she picks either) are for her to  1) kill him later (when he can’t use his physical advantage, eg when he’s asleep or has his back turned on her), but it won’t be self-defence because it won’t be immediate. (In the Jacqueline Sauvage case, one of the main arguments against her was that she shot her husband in the back at a time when he wasn’t actively beating her up) 2) use a weapon, but it won’t be self-defence because it won’t be proportionate. Obviously this condition also benefits men, because when a woman gets punched by her husband and she punches him back, it’s seen as a proportionate response but it shouldn’t be, because her punch (typically) won’t do nearly as much damage as his. Anything else she does (like use a weapon) to try and hurt him as much as he hurt her will be considered a disproportionate response and will mean it wasn’t self-defence.

The idea that killing your abuser in a honest face-to-face fight with your bare hands is honourable and forgivable, but killing your abuser in any other way is shameful and wrong, utterly benefits men and protects men. It’s also why poison was historically reviled as a ‘female weapon’ and as the most cowardly way to kill someone. Poison has been described as “a great equalizer” - no wonder men hated it. Men have always hated, and will keep hating, shaming, and outlawing, any form of attack through which women can compensate our disadvantage in strength and size, and they will keep praising as the only valid method of self-defence, the method that presents the smallest risk of being effectively used by women against them.

influencers actively trying to convince young women to aspire to unemployment and servitude is literally so sinister

THANK YOU ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

UGHHHHH I cant find the post on here that talks about how we have such high standards for female authors that we haven’t been able to have our own consistent female literature, while all the great classics by male authors, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, etc all believed women were inferior animals, and no one cares. Doesn’t anyone know what post I’m talking about? I’ve been looking for it all day 😭 I’ve seen it on radblr so many times

“If a movement declares that a man can define what it means to be a woman based on his feelings, but a woman cannot define being a woman based on her material reality, then it is a movement for the interests of men.”

This is a troll, they’ve been copy pasting this from Hannah’s twitter account to multiple radfem blogs

They sent me one too, don’t engage!

Starting to get convinced that Baldoni really is the feminist player in this whole situation. He seems to have become a feminist ally through recovering from a porn addiction, which is the main way men become feminist allies today. It’s a very plausible progression. It’s pretty clear to me that this lawsuit is really more a Ryan Reynolds vs Justin Baldoni lawsuit. Ryan, by all accounts seems like a horrible, controlling, patriarchal man. The stories of sexual harassment don’t seem to pan out in the footage, and it’s seems to be Reynolds wants to paint Baldoni as a hypocrite as a way to attack his credibility. I can’t imagine a scenario that would make a controlling man more jealous and full of rage than his wife doing sex scenes with a soft nice feminist art guy. The attempt to change “It Ends with Us” from a domestic violence narrative to a chic flick tracks with someone who is particularly defensive about the topic. Could be wrong. Will wait and see.

Ok..... I think I'd rather believe a woman over any man any day. I think the team Baldoni is using has a track record of doing the exact same shit to other women. I think if it were just Baldoni v Reynolds, I wouldn't give a shit, but this is about Blake and her being harassed. I think it doesn't matter whether it looked like she liked it. I think Baldoni is not a "soft nice feminist art guy." I believe her.

Yall wanna see some of my bangers ? 😏 Victory lap! …. Not really tho , since I pushed out all these bops and still can’t hit 1k followers lmao… it’s hard af there! There’s too many damn people!

And they’re all so stupid… it’s amusing, shocking, concerning and horrifying how insane the twitter crowd is. Like one thing redpill males do when they argue with you is generate AI images of what they think you look like and just send it mid convo as a ‘gotcha’… 💀 I was so bewildered the first time one did it… like you REALLY killed a tree for this? What is this proving? That you’re a moron? 🤨
