Also I hate how there's so little feminist consciousness in the zeitgeist nowadays. Like for the mostpart people have a vague awareness that 'sexism bad' but there's so little ability to actually identify when things are sexist and why. There's so little recognition that misogyny is a genuine force of oppression. And what feminist consciousness does exist is utterly impotent, regardless of the form it takes.

#catgirltxt #like goddamn there is no feminist movement anymore #the metoo movement was i'd say the last big upsurge of feminism (at least in the west) and it's been dead for years #fucking *gestures at johnny depp trial*#what even do we have left #just vague corporate bullshit made to get you to buy product but with a half baked feminist veneer #and the inner goddess feminine energy type nonsense which is the other failstate of liberal feminism #i guess there's a streak of female empowerment type stuff that's emerged from all that recently #but that tends to be pretty bioessentialist and also of the 'performing femininity is empowering' type shit #radical feminism is somewhat prominent nowadays but it's mostly flimsy ideological justification for the anti trans movement #and partially flimsy ideological justification for policies that harm sex workers
