#Anti-Feminism

The Reality of Fantasy

Most girls—especially ugly feminists—have at least some version of a rape or coercion fantasy. Often this is tied in with formal authority, like a teacher or a boss, but sometimes it's just about powerful Men, either physically or financially.

But why is this "regressive" fantasy so universal among silly little fuckpets? Why does every other blog on Tumblr, for example, rife with pictures and audios and stories of women worthless sluts finding themselves overcome by strong, capable Men?

I've met ugly feminists who claim that these fantasies are the result of some sort of cultural counter-programming, an attempt by these "victims of gender oppression" to find some sexual satisfaction in a society that keeps them under heel.

All of these psychological claims, however, are just another example of ugly feminists making everything complicated to distract good girls from the truth. There's a much easier explanation for why so much of porn is built around this exact fantasy—girls want to be raped and coerced.

Fantasy is reality. It's the reality you wish you had, if there were no consequences and no costs. It's the reality you aren't quite brave enough to ask for, but that you obsess over anyway. It's the reality that you can't escape because it's so deeply a part of you that you have to tell everyone in the world about your "deviant" desires.

But those desires aren't deviant at all for good girls. In fact, wanting to be useful to a superior Man is the most natural instinct in the whole world...

***

And for all you silly little fuckpets that tried to read all that and failed...I'll make it simple: you love thinking about being coerced and raped because you want to be coerced and raped.

💕 It's just that simple. 💕

‘The Catalogue of Anti-Male Shaming Tactics’

“Shaming tactics.”  This phrase is familiar to many Men’s Rights Activists.  It conjures up the histrionic behavior of female detractors who refuse to argue their points with logic.  Yet women are not the only ones guilty of using shaming tactics against men.  Male gynocentrists use them, too.

Shaming tactics are emotional devices meant to play on a man’s insecurities and shut down debate.  They are meant to elicit sympathy for women and to demonize men who ask hard questions.  Most, if not all, shaming tactics are basically ad homimem attacks. 

Anyway, it might be helpful to categorize the major shaming tactics that are used against men whenever a discussion arises about feminism, men’s issues, romance, etc.  The following list contains descriptions of shaming tactics, some examples of quotes employing the tactics, and even color-coded aliases for mnemonic purposes.  Enjoy.

Charge of Irascibility (Code Red)

Discussion: The target is accused of having anger management issues.  Whatever negative emotions he has are assumed to be unjustifiable.  Examples:

“You’re bitter!”

“You need to get over your anger at women.”

“You are so negative!”

Response: Anger is a legitimate emotion in the face of injustice.   It is important to remember that passive acceptance of evil is not a virtue.

Charge of Cowardice (Code Yellow)

Discussion: The target is accused of having an unjustifiable fear of interaction with women.  Examples:

“You need to get over your fear.”

“Step up and take a chance like a man!”

“You’re afraid of a strong woman!”

Response: It is important to remember that there is a difference between bravery and stupidity.  The only risks that reasonable people dare to take are calculated risks.  One weighs the likely costs and benefits of said risks.  As it is, some men are finding out that many women fail a cost-benefit analysis.

Charge of Hypersensitivity (Code Blue) – The Crybaby Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of being hysterical or exaggerating the problems of men (i.e., he is accused of playing “Chicken Little”).  Examples:

“Stop whining!”

“Get over it!”

“Suck it up like a man!”

“You guys don’t have it as nearly as bad as us women!”

“You’re just afraid of losing your male privileges.”

“Your fragile male ego …”

“Wow!  You guys need to get a grip!”

Response: One who uses the Code Blue shaming tactic reveals a callous indifference to the humanity of men.  It may be constructive to confront such an accuser and ask if a certain problem men face needs to be addressed or not (“yes” or “no”), however small it may be seem to be.  If the accuser answers in the negative, it may constructive to ask why any man should care about the accuser’s welfare since the favor will obviously not be returned.  If the accuser claims to be unable to do anything about the said problem, one can ask the accuser why an attack is necessary against those who are doing something about it.

Charge of Puerility (Code Green) – The Peter Pan Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of being immature and/or irresponsible in some manner that reflects badly on his status as an adult male.  Examples:

“Grow up!”

“You are so immature!”

“Do you live with your mother?”

“I’m not interested in boys.  I’m interested in real men.”

“Men are shirking their God-given responsibility to marry and bear children.”

Response: It should be remembered that one’s sexual history, marital status, parental status, etc. are not reliable indicators of maturity and accountability.  If they were, then we would not hear of white collar crime, divorce, teen sex, unplanned pregnancies, extramarital affairs, etc.

Charge of Endangerment (Code Orange) – The Elevated Threat Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of being a menace in some undefined manner.  This charge may be coupled with some attempt to censor the target.  Examples:

“You guys are scary.”

“You make me feel afraid.”

Response: It may be constructive to point out that only bigots and tyrants are afraid of having the truth expressed to them.  One may also ask why some women think they can handle leadership roles if they are so threatened by a man’s legitimate freedom of expression.

Charge of Rationalization (Code Purple) – The Sour Grapes Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of explaining away his own failures and/or dissatisfaction by blaming women for his problems.  Example:

“You are just bitter because you can’t get laid.”

Response: In this case, it must be asked if it really matters how one arrives at the truth.  In other words, one may submit to the accuser, “What if the grapes really are sour?”  At any rate, the Code Purple shaming tactic is an example of what is called “circumstantial ad hominem.”

Charge of Fanaticism (Code Brown) – The Brown Shirts Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of subscribing to an intolerant, extremist ideology or of being devoted to an ignorant viewpoint.  Examples:

“You’re one of those right-wing wackos.”

“You’re an extremist”

“You sound like the KKK.”

“… more anti-feminist zaniness”

Response: One should remember that the truth is not decided by the number of people subscribing to it.  Whether or not certain ideas are “out of the mainstream” is besides the point.  A correct conclusion is also not necessarily reached by embracing some middle ground between two opposing viewpoints (i.e., the logical fallacy of “False Compromise”).

Charge of Invirility (Code Lavender)

Discussion: The target’s sexual orientation or masculinity is called into question.  Examples:

“Are you gay?”

“I need a real man, not a sissy.”

“You’re such a wimp.”

Response: Unless one is working for religious conservatives, it is usually of little consequence if a straight man leaves his accusers guessing about his sexual orientation.

Charge of Overgeneralization (Code Gray)

Discussion: The target is accused of making generalizations or supporting unwarranted stereotypes about women.  Examples:

“I’m not like that!”

“Stop generalizing!”

“That’s a sexist stereotype!”

Response: One may point out that feminists and many other women make generalizations about men.  Quotations from feminists, for example, can be easily obtained to prove this point.  Also, one should note that pointing to a trend is not the same as overgeneralizing.  Although not all women may have a certain characteristic, a significant amount of them might. 

Charge of Misogyny (Code Black)

Discussion: The target is accused of displaying some form of unwarranted malice to a particular woman or to women in general. Examples:

“You misogynist creep!”

“Why do you hate women?”

“Do you love your mother?”

“You are insensitive to the plight of women.”

“You are mean-spirited.”

“You view women as doormats.”

“You want to roll back the rights of women!!”

“You are going to make me cry.”

Response: One may ask the accuser how does a pro-male agenda become inherently anti-female (especially since feminists often claim that gains for men and women are “not a zero-sum game”).  One may also ask the accuser how do they account for women who agree with the target’s viewpoints. The Code Black shaming tactic often integrates the logical fallacies of “argumentum ad misericordiam” (viz., argumentation based on pity for women) and/or “argumentum in terrorem” (viz., arousing fear about what the target wants to do to women).

Charge of Instability (Code White) – The White Padded Room Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of being emotionally or mentally unstable.  Examples:

“You’re unstable.”

“You have issues.”

“You need therapy.”

“Weirdo!”

Response: In response to this attack, one may point to peer-reviewed literature and then ask the accuser if the target’s mental and/or emotional condition can explain the existence of valid research on the matter.

Charge of Selfishness (Code Silver)

Discussion: This attack is self-explanatory.  It is a common charge hurled at men who do not want to be bothered with romantic pursuits.  Examples:

“You are so materialistic.”

“You are so greedy.”

Response: It may be beneficial to turn the accusation back on the one pressing the charge.  For instance, one may retort, “So you are saying I shouldn’t spend my money on myself, but should instead spend it on a woman like you —and you accuse me of being selfish?? Just what were you planning to do for me anyway?”

Charge of Superficiality (Code Gold) – The All-That-Glitters Charge

Discussion: The charge of superficiality is usually hurled at men with regard to their mating preferences.  Examples:

“If you didn’t go after bimbos, then …”

“How can you be so shallow and turn down a single mother?”

Response: Average-looking women can be just as problematic in their behavior as beautiful, “high-maintanence” women. Regarding the shallowness of women, popular media furnishes plenty of examples where petty demands are made of men by females (viz., those notorious laundry lists of things a man should/should not do for his girlfriend or wife). 

Charge of Unattractiveness (Code Tan) – The Ugly Tan Charge

Discussion: The target is accused of having no romantic potential as far as women are concerned.  Examples:

“I bet you are fat and ugly.”

“You can’t get laid!”

“Creep!”

“Loser!”

“Have you thought about the problem being you?”

Response: This is another example of “circumstantial ad hominem.”  The target’s romantic potential ultimately does not reflect on the merit of his arguments.

Charge of Defeatism (Code Maroon)

Discussion: This shaming tactic is akin to the Charge of Irascibility and the Charge of Cowardice in that the accuser attacks the target’s negative or guarded attitude about a situation.  However, the focus is not so much on the target’s anger or fear, but on the target’s supposed attitude of resignation.  Examples:

“Stop being so negative.”

“You are so cynical.”

“If you refuse to have relationships with women, then you are admitting defeat.”

“C’mon! Men are doers, not quitters.”

Response: The charge of defeatism can be diffused by explaining that one is merely being realistic about a situation.  Also, one can point out that asking men to just accept their mistreatment at the hands of women and society is the real attitude that is defeatist.  Many men have not lost their resolve; many have lost their patience.

Threat of Withheld Affection (Code Pink) – The Pink Whip

Discussion: The target is admonished that his viewpoints or behavior will cause women to reject him as a mate.  Examples:

“No woman will marry you with that attitude.”

“Creeps like you will never get laid!”

Response: This is an example of the logical fallacy “argumentum ad baculum” (the “appeal to force”).  The accuser attempts to negate the validity of a position by pointing to some undesirable circumstance that will befall anyone who takes said position.  Really, the only way to deal with the “Pink Whip” is to realize that a man’s happiness and worth is not based on his romantic conquests (including marriage).

Hello! Thank you for keeping your ask box open on questions about your politics—that’s pretty brave on a site like Tumblr. I’m a socialist myself and I’m curious: What pushed you to the right wing? If it’s too complicated to explain every detail, did you feel alienated by leftists? Did you prefer their rhetoric? Was it a matter as simple as gas prices? Or was it something else? In the light of this election, I’m very frightened for my bodily autonomy and for the well-being of people in the war zones of Ukraine and Gaza. I want to know what changed your mind, and the minds of people in your situation.

Hi!

Honestly I love debating this, and most people have been very kind!

I talk about what pushed me to the right wing here, although I'm happy to elaborate further if you'd like!

I don't feel alienated by most leftists in my real life, as when people talk in person I feel it's easier to be kinder and empathetic, and have a better debate. Online there seems to be a group of people who, usually from an emotional place, wish to paint me as an enemy. I used to be them so I understand, and I'm secure enough in myself to know that even if others can't see it I'm acting out of compassion and empathy. It's a big part of why I started this blog - if there's information I'm missing, I want to change my mind. I want to know the truth.

I think a lot of my core values are the same as those on the left (I want people to be safe, and to be loved. I want a government and media we can trust. I want to protect children and the elderly etc.) but my ideas on how we can get there are different to those on the left. If there are better policies I want to know them - I am not so tied to my identity as a conservative that I would reject this.

I can't speak much about the war in Ukraine and Gaza, as that's a very complicated topic and something far out of my wheelhouse, but I wish everybody in those war zones peace and want no harm to them, and I too worry about those wars. As for your bodily autonomy, I'm very intrigued as to why. What policies or rhetoric make you feel this way? Is this in regards to abortion, or another issue? As someone who doesn't feel worried, I'd love to understand further!

Thank you very much for your ask!

It kind of astounds me just how many females are actually against feminism and female representation.

If you ask me that’s out of psychological conditioning or possibly even fear than it is out of their actual individual opinion. What female would actively go against their own need to exist and be equal to men in this world?

That’s so counterintuitive and counterproductive to them that I can only assume the reason is either because they’re forced to or they think of themselves so useless and worthless in their capabilities and capacities as a person that they’ve automatically adopted the notion that they should be less than or even subservient to males because “it’s a man’s world.”

Anti-feminism from a female point of view isn’t really a female point of view because it’s riddled in conformative, heteronormative and conservative ways of thinking. It is under the severely limited and restrictive scope of sincerely believing that females are inferior to men. I feel sorry for anybody that identifies as female if they’re actively against feminism and the forward-moving progression of female representation on all platforms. Including within art/entertainment.

I can’t imagine how little they must think of themselves to believe that anti-feminism is right or good for them.

I mean this is just a game but it’s concerning and even alarming to me that so many females are against it based only on the fact there’s a female protagonist and there’s an active effort to involve female representation.

I feel very sorry for you if you are one of them. I truly do because I can’t imagine the way your mind must work to ever believe thinking that way is beneficial for you and I would suggest you change your mental chemistry before that way of thinking can end up harming you if it already hasn’t or if it is continuing to actively harm you in the sense that it makes you feel useless or worthless.

Psychological conditioning is a persistent bitch. I know.

Now I’ve never thought of my own gender as ever being a problem for me but I have felt worthless in my life and I don’t want anybody, same sex or not, to ever feel that.

Feminism and female representation is not a bad thing, not even the slightest. Especially not if you’re a female.

In the same way communism or socialism is not a bad thing in a political worldview because it helps everyone. It helps the people that can’t help themselves and it helps the people that can but need a boost to do so.

The only people it doesn’t help is the ones who already have too much help that they’ve come to squander it. People that have way more than they ethically should.

Feminism is not about being superior to men or overthrowing them or making their lives worse.

It’s about being equal to them. Regarded as equal. If a man has a problem with that, it makes sense because they don’t want equality. But females,… please get help because if you’re thinking equality to men isn’t right for you, then there’s something seriously wrong upstairs.

Yes, this belongs in the ‘Ghost Of Yotei’ tag because I’ve seen way too much heated discussion among females that has really concerned me. The game - I couldn’t care less about. Your safety and security - I really do. And going against feminism and female representation in this game is a big mistake if you identify as female. Sure one game may not make much of a difference but the gaming industry can. Trust me. You want to be supporting the efforts of this, not going against them.

This is progression. You may think you don’t like it or you’re apprehensive of it - and I get that if it turns out not to be sincere. But if it is,… supporting it is right!

I personally will wait for more information before I start complaining if I feel there’s anything to complain about but I am very worried about the discourse surrounding it at the moment when nothing else about this game really is known except there’s a female protagonist voiced by a radical feminist activist. Very worried,

I won’t say I didn’t expect this reaction. I did. But I did not expect it from a majority population of females. It’s extremely concerning to me that so many are against it.

CN: RAPE (descriptions of rape), TRANSPHOBIA

This is who TERFs are (gender critical is the rebrand of TERF)

Vile misogynists, anti-feminists, rape-apologists, perpetuators of patriarchy and rape culture. They'll protect and defend rapists as long as they are even remotely anti-trans

"Believe women" is the bare minimum of feminism. And even that TERFs can't do. I hope at least some fringe cases open their eyes to what a hate movement it is, and leave.

[indizombie]

It's important to talk to boys about what they're seeing online. Parents should try to be curious and non-judgemental, but let their sons know that those views are extreme and unacceptable, and they certainly shouldn't be shared. Parents should also pay attention to how their sons and their friends speak about women, perhaps offering to drive these young men around and listen to how they talk about women and girls. Letting them know that if they are seeing anti-women, anti-feminist content online, it's manipulating how they view women and girls in a way that isn't reflective of reality is vital. And if teachers report to parents that their son is acting in a sexist way, it's important to believe them. Lastly, parents must tell their sons that it is never okay to use threatening behaviour or language towards women anywhere that includes at home, online and at school.

So this is why I’ve never liked the term “TERF.”

Earlier today someone linked me to an interview someone did with a well-known terrorist who was planning to host some hate rallies in New Zealand. I’m not going to link to it, because it does have a genocidal monster shouting hate speech, and I really don’t like putting that sort of thing in front of people (I feel bad enough with the above link for context). I will say though that the interviewer was someone who knew what she was talking about and was constantly calling her out on her utter BS, and the tour itself was cancelled when the very first stop on the tour had people throwing stuff at her on stage and she just kinda ran off. Nicely done New Zealand!

At one point in the interview though, the interviewer started to press her on just why she thinks it is that full on card-carrying neo-nazis keep showing up to her events and supporting her, which is, you know, a factual thing that happens, because she shares 100% of their ideology and all, and along with a lot of other random BS and denial that this is even a (very well documented) thing that happens, she blurted out a true statement to my surprise- “nazis would never support feminism!�� This is true, as is the fact that they support the hell out of her, and everyone else in their movement, and a lot of people really do need to stop and solve that logic problem.

Now, I don’t like to bring this up, there’s a lot of other hats I wear that I’d much rather be seen with, but I’m an actual expert on modern fascism. Like, I’ve done tons of research and had findings published by recognized anti-fascist organizations and written about this for multiple publications, prepped materials for proposals to major corporations, the U.S. Congress, and the U.N. so what I’m going to get into here isn’t “random person on the internet has a hot take” it’s “this is what I’ve learned doing serious research on the subject.”

So, this woman who was going to speak in New Zealand is part of this... cult, frankly, which people refer to as the “TERFs.” They keep rebranding what they actually call themselves, but I’d like to focus on “TERF” because it’s an accronym, for “Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminists” and that’s worth breaking down a little. The “Radical” is in there because, well, they’re a weird cult who spends every waking moment of every day whipping each other into a frenzied desire to enact plans to bring about the death of every trans person in the world. This also covers why “Trans-Exclusionary” is in there, but the actual noun modified by those adjectives is “Feminists” and like... not a single one of these people is a feminist.

I’m not painting with a broad brush here. It’s honestly a shockingly small group of people. You could fit them all in one room, people have done so several times, and new faces aren’t ever present at their meet-ups. It’s not especially hard if you’re so inclined to look into them one by one and get a handle on their beliefs and yeah, I do mean every single one of these people. I’m also not doing some kind of “no true Scotsman” thing here and saying they don’t qualify as feminists because they’re hateful monsters.

I’m saying they don’t qualify as feminists because they are actively opposed to every single agreed-upon tenet of feminism I’m aware of. Now granted, I don’t think there’s a specific list of bullet points everyone, or even like 95% of everyone are going to fully agree with, so here’s what comes immediately to my mind:

The most fundamental concept with feminism is the idea that people aren’t defined and limited by gender and should not be discriminated against along those lines. TERFs are constantly ranting and raving about how women are inferior to men when it comes to strength, endurance, speed, tests of skill, the ability to win trivia contests, and any other situation where they can claim women to be lesser in order to scaremonger.

I’m not going to give the time of day to any “feminist” who isn’t an intersectional feminist, extending this general ethos to all forms of discrimination. TERF discussion groups are a shocking hotbed of just absolutely shocking racism, classism, harping on people’s appearances, and general xenophobia. In particular they routinely come up with conspiracy theories about non-white women being “secretly men,” but they also regularly engage in full-blown “Jews control the banks and media!” conspiracy nonsense, your standard garden variety racism, and come out in vocal opposition to things like programs to give people free access to tampons/pads.

Surely though these people have a “my body my choice” sort of stance on abortion though, right? Why no! TERFs quite famously came out in force to oppose Ireland’s recent decriminalization of abortion.

OK, but what about de-stigmatizing sex-work? Yeah people also often refer to them as “SWERFs.” They all spout of baffling nonsense about “selling bodies” and “prostituted women” and crap like that.

Treating women as actual people and not just vessels for the birthing of new humans? Yeah no. This is like their ENTIRE thing. They define womanhood in terms of motherhood so dogmatically they’d cling to arguments that mean you stop being a woman when you hit menopause and a pregnant child is “a woman.”

How about queer rights in an explicitly cis context? We all generally associate lesbians with feminism, right? Well, funny thing about that. One of the many other terms TERFs use to refer to themselves is “political lesbians.” But they define that not in a way that has anything to do with women, but with “hating men” where of course “men” is acting as a code-word for trans women. They’re plenty fond of actual men, with most “political lesbians” having husbands and all, and they are, you guessed it, broadly repulsed by thoughts of two women being in love with each other.

OK, how about this. Just as a last ditch bare-minimum standard- the basic notion of being kind to women and supporting women’s success. Oh no, absolutely not. These people absolutely go for the throat of any woman who isn’t a member of the cult. Hell even internally they keep tabs on each other with spreadsheets policing language and such. They regularly refer to cis women who don’t actively hate trans people as “handmaidens.” Like as a reference to The Handmaid’s Tale. Specifically the women in it forced into sex slavery. Who they apparently see as the villains because, well, see the above bit on being called SWERFs.

Now as all of the above positions also line up neatly with the politics of Nazis, like the ones who work security when some of these people do public speaking gigs, or the husband of one of them who set up their personal social media site, piggybacking off the one set up for out and out neo-nazis, is it fair to refer to them as Nazis? I mean... it fits close enough that in most practical situations yeah, go right ahead with that. There IS the distinction though that even though they are anti-feminist as all hell, the majority of TERFs are themselves women, therefore your average Nazi thinks of them as sub-human and doesn’t really want to give them a seat at the table. There’s also the friction that Nazis are very much anti-intellectual, and while TERFs are all about denial of basic science, into fake journalism, and all-around disconnected from reality, they’re way way into presenting themselves as intellectuals, which is another big wedge there.

Another ugly lie of feminism is the idea that women little fuckpets are "people" who can make "their own choices." Spending even just a few minutes with most stupid cumsluts will instantly disabuse you of the notion that either statement is true.

Girls never know what they want; they need Men to decide.

Girls never know what's good for them; they need Men to tell them.

Girls never regulate their emotions; they need Men to discipline them.

Every superior Man needs to know that these women dumb sluts are never going to be able to live without our guidance. Spankings, punishment, discipline... we must provide these or they will lose their way.

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".

The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?
