btw your homophobic republican grandma is not a radfem. no, the conservative woman talking about âwomanly brainâ & being explicitly anti-abortion isnât a radfem, either. no⌠the spiritual woman telling young girls to âreturn to their divine feminineâ & selling out cheap dating instructions & âtipsâ & promoting the idea of âfemale-specificâ emotions, thoughts, and feelings, most likely isnât a radfem. your radical christian mom that disowned you for being trans isnât a radfem. please. PLEASE LEARN what radical feminism is. i am BEGGING you.
#these people are insane#like no you cannot use the woman you saw promoting otherwise extremely misogynistic rhetoric & saying mean things about trans people#as a âgotchaâ against radfems#because that is NOT a radfem#conservative women calling themselves gender critical & co-opting our terms is a worthy thing to talk about#but they arenât some âmagical proofâ of all radfems = bad#because they donât know fuckshit about radfeminism#women who use our terms & call themselves feminists only when they get to shit on innocent trans people#are despicable and do not belong in our spaces#they arenât radfems#radical feminism#gender abolition#gender critical#radblr

The radfems hate me for my inclusive swag <3
Men are always welcome in my feminism. Along with everyone of every gender. Whether they be trans, cis, perisex, intersex, anything.
They claim it would make feminism weaker, and I couldnât disagree more. Weâre stronger together. This doesnât mean ignoring when folks experience relative gendered privilege or excusing misogyny. This just means acknowledging that sexism harms people of all genders in different ways, and that we are all better off without it. Women and people afab shouldnât be forced to be feminine, men and people amab shouldnât be forced to be masculine. Intersex and non-binary experiences must be recognized. My feminism looks like fighting for womenâs rights, but equally looks like fighting for trans menâs rights.
Youâll always have a place at by my hearth. I am and always will be an anti-sexist above all. Letâs fight the systems in place together.

There's a whole bunch of people on this site who genuinely think saying awful misogynistic stuff is fine so long as they say 'AFABs' instead of 'women'
If you make your misogyny about assigned sex, that's woke, right? That's gender neutral?
It's fine to say AFABs are whiny and vaginas are gross and all the best people were born with dicks, because now the bigotry is man-inclusive!! No one can call you a misogynist because that would totally be transphobia. Phew! Safe!
#intersectionality#exorsexism#transandrophobia#then they get to turn around and say âyou're misgendering yourself!!â because afab means woman whenever you call them out on it#catch 22 of being afab and trans on tumblr#âchoose: the closet or not complainingâ like#fuck terfs#fuck radfems#trans unity

when it hits you that the only way we can be so many people on this earth between now and the 18th century is because of men successively mass raping women in every decade and cultureâand that the only way oligarchs and emperors can keep this upward trend is by not punishing rape severely or at all, defending the commercialization of womenâs bodies and mass rape as free speech, banning abortion and jailing women and girls for reporting rapists (which is basically punishing womenâs self defense)âyou grow up a lot

It always angers me when people say that men would not put in so much effort to enact their violence on women and children because they do exactly that.
I was only seven when I learnt about just how hard men try to deceive the world so they can have free reign over young girls. I went on a Brownie trip to an orphanage back when I lived in Nigeria. The orphanage was just for girls which isn't uncommon, and it was massive, with its own school, shops, clinic etc. The girls had no reason to leave. It was set up by a pastor- a Nigerian who'd moved back from abroad.
I remember while we were there, one of the girls had just had a baby. She had seemed so old to me but looking back, she must have been around sixteen or seventeen. I remember my mum seemed suspicious when we were told the girl had run away and returned pregnant. She seemed even more so when we met the owner.
A year or two later, there was news on the radio. The man who had set up the orphanage had raped and impregnated several girls, selling their babies to prospective parents. I didn't even understand what rape meant back then but I remember my mum being devastated. Looking back, I think she might have felt guilty, perhaps she'd seen the signs: the girls not being allowed to leave the compound; teenage girls ending up pregnant. It seemed so obvious.
But no one questioned a man who used all of his money to build and set up a home for vulnerable girls, he was a pastor, educated, well-travelled. He could never have done something so cruel. But he did.
When I was writing this post, I tried to find any articles but I couldn't. They were just so many identical cases, man sets up orphanage, rapes and abuses children in the orphanage. Different cases, different years, one as recent as 2023. What I learnt back then and know for sure is that men would do anything, no matter how difficult or expensive, anything to have access to people they can abuse.

When will women wake up? When will they stop with the incessant coping? That itâs just a few bad apples that hate women. The vast majority of men vehemently hate women. They show it both on and offline. More overtly online though. And the amount of likes for all of these posts (all of which are from gimmick accounts with 10-100k+ followers dedicated to hating women) shows that. Men do not see us as human beings. Straight menâs interest and attraction to women starts and end with sexual gratification. And thereâs no reason to even explain this to other women as if itâs some hidden truth. They will literally tell you. They will get online and tell you they arenât emotionally and romantically interested in women. That the concept of actually caring for and loving a woman is foreign to them. That youâre a sex doll and a set of holes to them.
Like who needs feminist theory to dissect all the ways in which misogyny manifests when it seems men are doing everything in their power to show women how much they fucking collectively hate us. Even blatantly regarding us as holes and sex dolls.
Also find it so interesting that these are tweets with millions of views but so called progressive twitter NEVER sees them or condemns them and instead opt to give attention to some random radfem with 300 followers saying men bad. THATS whatâs a pressing issue to them. THATS proof that misandry is as prevalent and troublesome as misogyny meanwhile this is what women are subjected to.
#I truly think birthing males is the biggest self own#all of these males are the product of a woman going through 9 months of tribulations and risking that of her own life to give birth to them#just for this to be the result#albeit most of their mothers are probably misogynistic too but I doubt to this degree as I feel like even the most sexist of women#would think this is too far because even they have some sort of self preservation#but jfc Iâd genuinely đ myself than birth a male#literally birthing the very thing that hates and harms you#like imagine all the women whoâd probably still be here if even a small percentage of males werenât born#radblr#radical feminist safe#radical feminism#radfem#men hate you#i hate men#moid moment#moids#misogyny#all men

So phrases like "people with uteruses" or "people who have periods" never really bothered me as much as more overtly dehumanizing phrases like "bleeders" or "birthing bodies", but I saw a post today talking about the abnormal symptoms women experienced after getting tear gassed protesting, that ended with something like "we don't know the full effects of tear gas on people with uteruses". And what struck me about that is that's not really correct, because female people without uteruses (either bc they were born without one or bc they had a hysterectomy) will still experience different symptoms after being tear gassed than male people. Women metabolize substances differently than men, our immune systems are different, our hormonal cycles are different, our skin has different thicknesses, etc. All of those things have potential effects on tear gas reactions, and are not dependent on whether or not we have a uterus. They're dependent on whether or not we're female. So saying "people with uteruses" when what is meant is "female people" is not really accurate. And I realized that a lot of times when people use those kinds of phrases, they aren't being accurate.
For example, I'm sure we've all seen people say things about how the repeal of Roe v Wade will harm people with uteruses/people who can get pregnant/etc. And while yes, it definitely harms those people, the full truth is that abortion bans harm *female* people, *regardless of if they can get pregnant or have a uterus.* Because female people who don't have uteruses can still get pregnant, and in those rare cases will 100% of the time need an abortion. Female people who deal with infertility and can't carry a fetus to term can still be jailed for miscarrying. Female people who are completely sterile (for whatever reason) can still be denied medications/medical treatment on the grounds that the treatment could theoretically harm a fetus. Female people who may currently have no uterus/no longer be able to get pregnant but who have had an abortion in the past will face increased stigma.
Here's another example:
It seems pretty straightforward- menstruation stigma is experienced by people who menstruate. But again, that's only half true. Period stigma is experienced by all female people, regardless of if they menstruate. Think about the fact that we are told female people should not hold political leadership because "what if a female president has PMS and starts a war", despite the fact that almost all female presidential candidates are old enough that they would have experienced menopause. Female people have their feelings dismissed because "it must be that time of the month", regardless of if they're too young to menstruate or too old or if they have a condition causing amenorrhea. Female children grow up seeing periods- a natural function of their bodies- portrayed as disgusting, dirty and gross, as making them unclean, as something to dread and fear. This affects them before they experience menarche, this affects them even if they never experience menarche. It affects all female people.
I could come up with more examples, but you get the idea. Reducing female people to singular body parts and organs inherently denies the reality of femaleness. All parts of us (both biological and social) interact with all other parts of us to form an experience that can't be understood by chopping us up and putting our individual functions under the microscope. In order to get an accurate picture you need to look at the whole (female) human.
#Side note: I remember when I found out that it's still possible to get pregnant post hysterectomy#So many people want to get rid of their uterus because they don't want kids#(Even though the uterus is not just a baby oven and it does important things like regulate hormones)#And it might not even work đ#my post#radical feminists please touch#radical feminists do interact#radical feminism#radfem#radfems do touch#pls radfems I want to know your thoughts

I love it when women hate men. I love it when women are allowed to vent to each other about how horrible and creepy men are. I love it when women form friendships with and prioritize each other over relationships with men(whether they're attracted to them or not). I love it when women put men dni in their bios and on their nude photos and on posts on their blogs. I love it when women refuse to mollycoddle and accommodate entitled male feelings with "but this doesn't mean I hate all men, I know a few men who are great, I love my father/sons/brothers/uncles/male cousins/guy friends" I love it when women complain about men WITHOUT "not all men" being a disclaimer. I love it when women avoid socializing with/refuse to be around/befriend/get close to men because they know men can't be trusted. I love it when women make "kill all men" jokes. I love it when women offer absolutely no concern or care for men's feelings and if their misandry offends men whatsoever because why should we, men are the oppressor class who have raped and killed and abused us and kept us as subjugated as second-class citizens for millennia, they regularly mistreat us and the women in their own marginalized communities still every single day and make this world so much harder and more awful for us to be in, and if we choose to hate them and not spare them any sympathy then so be it, and I don't just mean "men as a class" either, you can be a woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with any man on an individual basis and completely cuts off men from her personal life too and ykw I will love and fucking support you in that because men deserve absolutely NOTHING from us. If they're so tough and strong then they can handle it just like they can handle being lonely. If you are a woman who hates men, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A LESBIAN AND/OR A TRANS WOMAN, then just know that I love you. I love you, I support you, and you are safe here.

every day you get reminded of how much of this website's politics seems to be "(progressively) being transgender is a white people thing."
#a trans woman from India cannot possibly identify as being a transgender woman#because that's an unfortunate westernization of her natural exotic and mysterious cultural third gender#and every trans woman is a white woman on 4chan bc that means you can derail a post about transmisogyny to say its just a white ppl problem#and 4b being radfems isn't important because there are no trans women in Korea who could possibly be put in danger because of it#tumblr hate posting#transmisogyny

y'all need to get a grip. you blab all day about how much you hate bigots and hateful people and how evil it is to dehumanize anyone and then you turn around and say "kys" and "i think [x] should all just kill themselves" and other disgusting, violent and childish trash
so many people on here are just full of hatred and vitriol and turn into frenzied sharks anytime the target 'deserves it' and they think they can get away with it and not be called bad people. then they whine about how sad it is that we can't all just get along and if only all the evil people in the world would stop doing evil things wouldn't that be nicer
you're just as vicious, hypocritical and fanatically puritanical as the caricature you have made in your minds of the people you think you have nothing in common with. if you've ever told someone, ANYONE to kill themselves you're not advocates of justice, you're not artisans of peace, and you certainly don't have any moral high ground that would allow you to pass judgment on others
#i'm tired#you're so terrified of being bad people that you convince yourselves you could *never* be bad#and then any expression of hatred towards others (the âbad peopleâ) gets reframed as proof of your own moral character#((making you even more afraid of being bad because you don't want to be at the receiving end of the hatred and so on and so forth))#you can say whatever you want about religious people and esp christians but 1) you're as religious as they are but at least they know it#and 2) most of the christians i've met are magnitudes more forgiving of others than this website's self-righteous preachers#(this isn't about anything people have said to me btw it's about what i see reading blogs from all across the social/political spectrum)#this about the radfem-hating liberals and the pro-life-hating radfems and the liberal-hating pro-lifers. Round and round we go#itâs about the people who put rabid antisemitism on my dash and whose only socio-political analysis is to call EVERYTHING bad#âJust like nazismâ#Yapping about how much more moral and enlightened they are than ppl who introduce nuance into complex topics while they parrot slogans#I hate slogans so bad

They do realise that the intention of pride was to normalise homosexuality? Not to show off your extreme and weird fetishes? Itâs almost like homosexuality is too vanilla for them now, they just wanna be as edgy and outrageous as possible. Who cares about how this will hurt gay people in the long run ig
#reminds me of a podcast that was saying that what is queer is constantly changing because it always has to go against the norm#so âqueernessâ can pretty much never be normalised because thatâs not what they want anyway#they *want* to be special and different#literally the embodiment of an edgy teenage phase#radfem safe#gender critical#gendie brainrot receipts

Ohhh noooo, look out Real Feminists, the scary trans men are âexpanding the meaning of misogyny to no longer be about women.â By which we mean, pointing out that misogynists care more about how they see you than whether you actually identify as a woman or not. Terrifying, they must be stopped.
#blugh I know I said I wouldnât check the tags. someone tell me not to check the tags. on halloween?? girl what are you doing#another day another person calling themselves a baeddel with a radfemmy take#is this really so different from cis radfems fearmongering that trans women are trying to âchange the definition of misogynyâ#because they claim it only affects people afab. this is just changing the arbitrary qualifier that misogynists donât follow.#transandrophobia#mine#vent

One of the many things I find funny and irritating is the slant of a lot of interpretations of Alecto's name (that it's about feminine rage)--on this here wlw internet in the year of our lord 2024, it's easily made to figure as rage against God, or rage against patriarchy, or religious oppression, and therefore an allusion to the idea that she's going to get her vengeance on John for betraying and oppressing her somehow, but like
John is the one who named her Alecto. He's the one who named her that. So, naming her "Alecto" is alluding to the embodiment of John's rage--their rage, since they are joined inseparably (John even explicitly says that when he first perceives her: "You wouldn't stop screaming. You were so scared. You were so goddamn mad").
He says of Alecto to Harrow, "In a very real way, you are [Alecto's] children". At a very surface level, Alecto is (depending on the text or tradition), one of the Furies--famously, in several surviving Greek tragedies, who punish Orestes for the crime of killing his mother. In fact, in Aeschylus' Oresteia, they declare that they are specifically bound to avenge matricide.
So the name "Alecto" alludes to the nature of John's mission and how he sees it.
It also implies that his divine rage, the rage that gives him power, the power that makes him divine, that he either represents or wants to represent, is feminine rage. He was chosen by Earth (which, Furies are sometimes the daughters of Gaia); he is her champion, however he's managed to fuck that up. Once the truth of that comes out, it becomes clear that all of his power comes from her.
And that's why you get statements from Tamsyn Muir like:
â[T]he God of the Locked Tomb IS a man; he IS the Father and the Teacher; itâs an inherently masc role played by someone who has an uneasy relationship himself to playing a Biblical patriarch. John falls back on hierarchies and roles because theyâre familiar even when heâs struggling not to. Even he identifies himself as the God who became man and the man who became God. But the divine in the Locked Tomb is essentially feminine on multiple axes â I think Nona will illuminate that a little bit more."
So yes, he plays the role of Emperor and God and Teacher, with all of the things that implies. And I don't think it should be discounted. But he also is (and partly sees himself as) the chosen champion of a goddess, or what is for all intents & purposes for a human like him a goddess. He is her avenger, and while she sleeps, her avatar.
And I don't think we're meant to read him purely as a parasite who's taking advantage of her to gain power for himself, either. Or an oppressive, Kronos-like figure. Especially if you consider Palamedes' theory of the Grand Lysis, even if he was purely motivated by desire for power before (which I really doubt), there are parts of each in the other, now. What was clear and separate before is uncertain and interpenetrated. Is his rage his own, or hers? Is his mission of revenge his, or hers? If he wants power, is that his own selfishness, or her desire to survive?
And does it matter?
#the locked tomb#tlt meta#john gaius#i really wish there wasn't such an intense desire to find the worst possible interpretations of johns' actions#because like. they're plenty hurtful on their own! they're plenty shitty!#there IS however something tamsyn muir is trying to express through the series and it's fairly complicated-otherwise it wouldn't be a serie#and i don't think it actually helps us to turn john into a cardboard cutout labeled 'evil'#or apply tropes we've marinated in from radfem-informed segments of online wlw culture about how men are parasites on the Divine Feminine#or apply the messages of other shows with a big emphasis on queer and wlw themes--like spop--to something that just fundamentally isn't the#there is more than one way to talk about lesbian religious trauma and there is more than one narrative around it#and more than one perspective on it#i wish that people would try harder to experience the story on its own terms

I'll occasionally see posts that are like "well obviously transandrophobia is because the trans community is against afabs"
I hate it I hate it I hate it
Stop referring to me by my sex and ? just generally being wrong.
The majority of transandrophobia I've experienced has come from cis people, and specifically cis women that are close to me and get so so upset that I "chose" to be a man. And the ant-trans rhetoric that others will peddle about trans men and why they can't possibly be in their right minds to choose to be a "disgusting" man.
#transandrophobia#trans infighting is frustrating and harmful in its own little special way#because places where you should find community is kinda lacking in it#ie trans community on Tumblr#But they're not publishing Invisible Damage so#maybe don't ignore the people who are consistently punching down at us#also tbh framing it as 'amabs against afabs' is a radfem dogwhistle because#the sex of someone is not indicating how good of a person they'll be or how they'll act towards different minorities#yuck

apparently a radfem movement called 4B is getting a surge of popularity on social media since the election, with the reasoning, "if men do not respect us, they should not have access to us at all." the idea is to withhold all sex and intimacy until women have all their rights.
and like. putting aside all the many many reasons that radfem ideology and bioessentialism sucks, and the fact that "men" are not a group you can "negotiate" with as a whole because they are not an organized group with leadership, this is just....a very very dangerous game to be playing.
like. okay. there are two scenarios on how this could play out, because again, it isn't any sort of organized "protest" between ""the sexes,"" it's just gonna be some women and their partners, who do not really give a shit about what a bunch of strangers on tiktok are doing.
option 1) he already respected women's rights, voted against abortion bans, and cannot actually change anything on his own. you are making both him and yourself miserable for literally no reason at all. you have turned what should be a really nice relationship where you can relax into a weird adversarial thing that abhors real vulnerability. this is the BETTER option.
option 2) he IS a trump supporter who thinks he should have access to all women's bodies. in which case, saying "no more sex until you give me rights" is NOT going to go down the way you think it is. you do not have collective bargaining power here. you are going to get very badly hurt, and an already probably abusive relationship is going to get a lot worse. that's not to say that a woman in that position would in any way "deserve" it, just that. when you are faced with an abuser, you should absolutely not try to play mind games or reassert your power to them. you should try and get the fuck out. call real organizations that can help you, don't follow random bullshit tiktok trends. those influencers will NOT give you a place to stay when shit hits the fan.
anyway the national domestic violence hotline is 800-799-SAFE.
#politics /#rape culture /#some women are leaving their husbands over this#if they were abusive this is good!#do that more!#but not because he's A Man. because he was abusing you#dont jump to being a lesbian as if no women could abuse you.#you just shouldnt date people that vote against your rights period. and plenty of radfems are republicans.
