✨WOMB ENVY✨

Men are obsessed with paternity (which doesn't exist). Another form of Matilda effect.

This is actually the root of the patriarchy. They hated that in matriarchy, all girls and women were seen as a direct descendants of the Mother Goddess. Everyone was the child of the Great Mother but only the female were considered as an extension of her.

women create life and then men appropriate it by giving his name to the child; “she’s pregnant with his child”, “we’re pregnant” we’re expecting”; he celebrates the “dad bod”. contemporarly, men say it’s women’s job to reproduce, it’s her duty, it’s her purpose; her pregnant and post-partum body is ruined and disgusting, she can’t “let herself go”, she needs to do better and “get back on track”.

women create community, art, technology and then men appropriate it by locking her away and stealing her labour, energy and time. contemporarly, men say she has to serve his unilateral society, he calls her art bland or absurd, her technology is forgotten, stolen or unimportant; nothing is ever enough to compare to his society, his art, his technology, she always needs to do better.

do you see the connection? this is why i say creation is female. a man can only create because a woman decided to create him first. this is why patriarchy destroys.

My favourite shows are mostly about my special interests. I love comics universe (both marvel and DC) also because usually those are also content with less pornified and male gazed female representations.

Marvel (not just the MCU) :

I love Agent Carter that focuses solely on her and she's so badass with actual good female characters even as villain. Unfortunately the show was cancelled after S2.

I also love Agents of Shield, the main character is a woman, and then it's a team but with equal numbers of men and women. The women are well written, a woman also co-directed the show.

X-Men evolution, because it's what I used to watch as a kid so it's comforting.

DC :

Smallville, It's about Superman before he became superman, so it focuses on his family, his friends, love interest and how he goes from a teenager to an adult. But what I think I love the most is that, it's not as graphic as shows and movie more recent, if there is a scene (violence or sex) it's suggested, and the character (Clark) is not as misogynistic as other characters of the franchise. But there are definitely Misogynistic character in the show. I also have a huge crush on one of the lead characters (Lana) since my childhood. 😅

it's a movie not a show, but I love Catwoman : hunted, the cast focuses on female characters that aren't adapted enough in my opinion, and I also have a special interest in cats so I'm happy. And bonus she helps victim of sex trafficking.

Batman : caped crusader, I love batman in general, but this one is a chief kiss ! It's a very modern one but made in the golden age style. The female characters are well written, they even twisted the sex of one of the villain characters that is usually a man and it's so cool! Like she's an amazing woman and villain. Also there are women dating eachother but it's not a thing, it's not specified or anything. It's as random as them ordering a sandwich and it feels nice to see that it's just normal.

BBC Sherlock Holmes, because I love the British humour and because I can relate as he's an autistic character. I also love Mary Watson so much in this one !!

Movie not a show, Ocean 8, it's a women only movie or so. Well technically it's part of a saga of 4 (ocean eleven, twelve and thirteen) but the first there movies are all men except one woman and it's with Pitt who is a known abuser. So I stopped watching them. If you're not familiar with the movies, it's a team of Burglars that robbed casino's or museums. Like they are not petty Thieves, they are professionals. The numbers of the movie indicate the number of members of the team. It's funny and light headed movie, you're gonna have a good time.

For more only female centered I've made this post, there are my recommendations but also recommandations from other sisters

open ended

what's your favourite tv show?

what tv shows would you recommend that has female characters being more than plot-irrelevant love interests?

The fact that religious people will defend ‘honour killing’ (religiously motivated femicide) whilst simultaneously claiming that abortion is evil is actually mental.

look at it like this

when a girl gets rejected, she thinks it’s something that she did or did not do, she thinks there’s something wrong with herself that would make a guy not wanna be with her

but when a guy gets rejected, he thinks there’s something wrong with the girl who rejected him, ‘she just wants to date assholes’, ‘she’s a bitch’, so on and so forth

and that’s some bullshit

Exactly 💯 !

All scenarios where this happens are all rape scenarios.

If both partner doesn't express active and mutual desire, there is something going on.

I'm kinda curious to see radblr's response to this poll https://www.tumblr.com/apolladay/776229651873972224/if-a-is-having-sex-with-b-and-b-doesnt-want-it

It's not progressive to say "women are oppressed so they should be brutalized in films for the sake of realism". Hate to break it to you, but most men are sadistic towards women, not empathetic. The male film director who recycles the violent pornography he's consumed isn't challenging anything. He's only desensitizing an entire audience to cruelty against women.

Misandry belongs to the same myth that we are currently living in a matriarchy. A myth created by men to serve them, and to gaslight girls and women that the patriarchy, our systemic oppression doesn't exist and that they are the true victims of our society.

reminder that misandry isn’t real and doesn’t exist outside of the internet

We just want to understand 😭😭😭

In addition, reminder that being petite, childish, submissive, hairless etc are the criteria of feminity BECAUSE it's what infantalised the most and make a woman more childish !

The patriarchy criteria of feminity are based on pedocriminal culture.

And putting Sabrina Carpenter in the examples is just proving our point (I agree with you anon). Like she's known for performing and creating content based on pedocriminal core aesthetic 💀 if you want to know more about this specifically you can read this post :

Ariana Grande is also doing this shit btw.

I didn't knew who was Madison Beer, so I looked into her and I'm confused, she's not petite, she's 1m70 (5'8) that's the accurate height for modeling.

While Ariana Grande is 1m54 (5'1), Sabrina Carpenter is 1m52 (5), Jenna Ortega is 1m55 (5'1)

Do you think its pedofilia a man being interested in an adult woman that has a body really tiny (not a teen or underweight or too short and not necesarily flat or without curves)

For reference i mean Someone like sabrina Carpenter,Madison Beer,Jenna Ortega or more tiny

Yes, at best hes neutral about having sex w Someone so similar to a kid

Not necesarily if hes not looking out for that specifically

No but only if hes a really tiny male

No

No nuance please n second poll

What if its a woman interested in a tiny woman?

No but only if the tiny one is not completely flat or without curves

No but only if shes a similar size

Yes its still too similar to a kid

No

No nuance again please

I saw some women Below average size saying its okay for men if they are not specifically interested in this part of them but its really weird seeing a couple where one looks like a parent and me as a really tiny female i consider people on average as Big due to me being small so i dont understand how a Male thats bigger than majority of females can look at Someone tiny and not see them as a kid and for the woman part i never really saw anyone talking about this but i see plenty of women showing attraction to them and no one sees It as weird and i think its cause the sizes are more similar because if a tiny man dates a tiny woman no one cares either so..

There is no ''depends on the issue''. If there is then it's no. Being a radical feminist is not a spectrum. You either is ot you are not.

A ''radfem'' pro pornoprostitution is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro GPA is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro trans cult is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro make up/beauty industry/plastic surgery is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro gender cult is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro choice (Vs systemic oppression) is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro gender/sexual identity is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro nuclear family is a libfem

A ''radfem'' against abortion and medical health care for women is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro ableism is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro racism is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro homophobia is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro men is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro religions is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro capitalism is a libfem

A ''radfem'' against sex based oppression is a libfem

A ''radfem'' pro not all men is a libfem

I don't care what you call yourself. Words have definitions and if you do not agree with the radical feminist movement YOU ARE SIMPLY NOT A RADFEM. You are a rad leaning, you are agreeing with some feminist ideas but

YOU. ARE. NOT. A. RADICAL. FEMINIST.

If a woman is aligned with everything in radical feminism except one major issue, do you think she is a radical feminist?

Yes

Depends on the issue

No

Phew. This one took, uh… a bit longer than expected due to other projects both irl and art-wise, but it’s finally here. The long-awaited domestic animal infographic! Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough space to cover every single domestic animal (I’m so sorry, reindeer and koi, my beloveds) but I tried to include as many of the “major ones” as possible.

I made this chart in response to a lot of the misunderstandings I hear concerning domestic animals, so I hope it’s helpful!

Further information I didn’t have any room to add or expand on:

🐈 “Breed” and “species” are not synonyms! Breeds are specific to domesticated animals. A Bengal Tiger is a species of tiger. A Siamese is a breed of domestic cat.

🐀 Different colors are also not what makes a breed. A breed is determined by having genetics that are unique to that breed. So a “bluenose pitbull” is not a different breed from a “rednose pitbull”, but an American Pitbull Terrier is a different breed from an American Bully! Animals that have been domesticated for longer tend to have more seperate breeds as these differing genetics have had time to develop.

🐕 It takes hundreds of generations for an animal to become domesticated. While the “domesticated fox experiment” had interesting results, there were not enough generations involved for the foxes to become truly domesticated and their differences from wild foxes were more due to epigenetics (heritable traits that do not change the DNA sequence but rather activate or deactivate parts of it; owed to the specific circumstances of its parents’ behavior and environment.)

🐎 Wild animals that are raised in human care are not domesticated, but they can be considered “tamed.” This means that they still have all their wild instincts, but are less inclined to attack or be frightened of humans. A wild animal that lives in the wild but near human settlements and is less afraid of humans is considered “habituated.” Tamed and habituated animals are not any less dangerous than wild animals, and should still be treated with the same respect. Foxes, otters, raccoons, servals, caracals, bush babies, opossums, owls, monkeys, alligators, and other wild animals can be tamed or habituated, but they have not undergone hundreds of generations of domestication, so they are not domesticated animals.

🐄 Also, as seen above, these animals have all been domesticated for a reason, be it food, transport, pest control, or otherwise, at a time when less practical options existed. There is no benefit to domesticating other species in the modern day, so if you’ve got a hankering for keeping a wild animal as a pet, instead try to find the domestic equivalent of that wild animal! There are several dog breeds that look and behave like wolves or foxes, pigeons and chickens can make great pet birds and have hundreds of colorful fancy breeds, rats can be just as intelligent and social as a small monkey (and less expensive and dangerous to boot,) and ferrets are pretty darn close to minks and otters! There’s no need to keep a wolf in a house when our ancestors have already spent 20,000+ years to make them house-compatible.

🐖 This was stated in the infographic, but I feel like I must again reiterate that domestic animals do not belong in the wild, and often become invasive when feral. Their genetics have been specifically altered in such a way that they depend on humans for optimal health. We are their habitat. This is why you only really see feral pigeons in cities, and feral cats around settlements. They are specifically adapted to live with humans, so they stay even when unwanted. However, this does not mean they should live in a way that doesn’t put their health and comfort as a top priority! If we are their world, it is our duty to make it as good as possible. Please research any pet you get before bringing them home!
