it’s actually so fucking insane to me that leftists can hold the belief that white people, due to their socialization in a racist society, are all inherently racist to some degree and need to constantly be checking themselves and doing work to be actively anti-racist.

but those same people would be sending rape and death threats if I said that male people, due to their socialization in a misogynistic society, are all inherently misogynistic to some degree and need to constantly be checking themselves and doing work to be actively feminist, even if they identify as women.

reminder that lesbians are NOT more violent than men and we don't have the highest domestic violence rates. i wish people (mostly men) would stop deliberately misconstruing this

i'm sorry but some people on here really do make being gay an aesthetic and not a neutral normal thing about your ability to be attracted to one or more sex/gender. they really truly think breaking societal norms makes them More Gay and they just cannot stop talking about gayness (or especially "queerness") as the most important thing about themselves to a weird degree. and don't get me wrong, i love being a loud obnoxious dyke as much as the next lesbian, but at an extreme degree it comes off as weirdo behavior and othering gayness as this thing that separates you 100% from common society instead of fighting to normalize it. if you assume this is about lesbian feminist thinkpieces or normie gay jokes or whatever, that's not the case. i just often see this more extreme behavior as usually young gay-attracted people who are full of insecurity about their identity and still haven't unlearned gender roles, especially young bisexuals in a het/straight relationship who desperately want to still feel connected to gay culture. the binding of gay attraction to appearance just shows that anything in lgbtq culture can be turned into a cheap materialistic aesthetic totally unrelated to love or desire.

I actually fucking hate it here, when will women wake the fuck up.

“I’m not a boy, therefore I need to wear makeup!” This is sooo progress 😍 gender ideology isn’t misogynistic at all!

“Thank you mom for that inner beauty talk that still has me googling makeup advice” this one is so heartbreaking because even if a mother tries to raise a daughter to be critical of beauty industry/fitting the standards of beauty in general, she still faces the whole pressure of the world

Women have the most freedom now more than ever, and therefore the beauty standards have been lifted to the point of skyrocketing makeup and plastic surgery sales in order to “keep them in their place”. It’s normalized to make fun of women for not performing makeup or femininity correctly, if you criticize this industry you’re “not a girls girl” and called ugly, gross, and unhygienic for not shaving or wearing makeup. It’s enforced by women as well as our capitalistic system and patriarchy.

I truly cannot see how anyone can argue that makeup is “just for fun” with comments like this being so common by women. Makeup and beauty isn’t for “fun”, it’s driven by patriarchy in an effort to keep woman in a self-created panopticon where they constantly criticize themselves.

just heard someone use the phrase “sex workers from ancient rome” you mean female sex slaves those women were probably born into lower classes and forced to become slaves to males, the glorification of the horrific things females have had done to them does still shock me everytime.

Of course you feel disconnected from your gender it’s quite literally a made up set of rules based on stereotypes

i had a whole think piece to type about this but i feel like it speaks for itself

The greatest trick of the patriarchy was to teach countless generations of women to be kind.

We can talk about statistics all day long, but the weaponisation of our compassion is what keeps us on our knees.

When we see studies about violence, the immediate reaction is but men can be victims, too, and examples like that are why the false ideas of the patriarchy hurts men, too and feminism is for everybody are so prevalent. Women have been so broken down by generations upon generations of manipulation through be kind that is feels wrong, that it feels psychologically painful to centre ourselves.

Instead of women being able to come together and fight for our rights as one, this malicious forced compassion makes us sideline and silence ourselves, with the reward being tricked into feeling like I'm a good and selfless person. When women dare to centre ourselves and put ourselves first reasonably, then we're gaslit into believing that we're being selfish, cruel and even violent, and when other women snap and snarl, tired of our treatment, then they're entirely dismissed as being any modern version of hysteric.

Men like to hide behind the idea that we're the manipulative ones that psychologically damage, but without a thousand generations of men reinforcing that we should think again and actually have kindness and compassion for others, women as a whole would be able to see through the blinders of oppression.

After all, to be anti-prostitution has been reframed as hating sex workers.

Fighting against systemic violence and rape against women is ignoring male victims and supporting female perpetrators.

Protecting female-only spaces is excluding a vulnerable minority's right to exist.

Few ordinary women want to be made to feel like they're hateful or cruel. As soon as we talk about women's issues, examples of individual men are brought up, and women are tricked into talking about them by either proving how kind we are ("of course I don't want anyone to be raped, male victims deserve help!") to distract us from our issues and re-centre men again, or women dismiss that obviously malicious call for compassion ("feminism isn't about men, sort your own issues out!") and then men use it as a reason as to why feminism is evil, because anything without kindness and compassion is wrong.

Women need to be taught that it's not unkind to put ourselves first, and that men use our compassion against us.

In feminism, our kindness and compassion must be reserved for our fellow women.

Women can be kind and compassionate to men in their private lives if they want, but that isn't part of feminism - and they need to be reminded that they won't get that kindness and compassion returned.

do women that comment “but it’s itchy🥺i don’t like the feeling of prickly hair😔” under anti-shaving posts and videos realise that the itchiness and prickliness is a result of shaving? if you don’t shave the hair is soft, you don’t feel it at all. have they forgotten what it feels like to be unshaven? have they ever experienced it?

[hadesoftheladies]

i find it genuinely absurd that forced-birthers expect us to treat the fetus as an individual. “what about the baby’s body and choice?” that is literally something attached to her organs the fetus is literally part of the woman’s body and OF the woman’s body like god did not put it there for safekeeping her body is fucking constructing it. it cannot be legally or physically independent from her—the fetus IS still her you goddamn fucking morons.

Poland will straight up ban abortions, not deal with the horrendous inflation, do nothing about the major alcoholism rates, do nothing about DV, do nothing about rape, do nothing about the suicide rates, but they will focus on this crap. Japierdole.

Someone wake me up when that pathological country starts recognizing women as people.

‼️Good news for today‼️

Polish trans people will no longer have to literally SUE THEIR PARENTS to get their gender marker changed!

This is huge!!!
