Sick of radical feminism's racism problem

We're assholes for not thinking white men are less misogynistic because they come from some superior european culture?

Blocking me for calling out colonisation as the reason why so many 'cultures' are still backwards unlike the 'good' cultures which have progressed off of the death, rape, slavery and natural resources of nations they colonised is racist. Especially while that system is still in place.

I can't really be bothered responding to this properly so...

"It's not genocide cuz we still give some food and electricity." How fucking evil can these demons get? They think the rest of us are fools.

what the fuck is this insane level of genocide denialism. they weren’t given any food or electricity or water for like a month and now are getting minimal amounts of both and tens of thousands of palestinian civilians have been murdered and their land has been gradually taken of them and millions of them are displaced and and and- but it’s not a genocide bc they’re not completely starving??? does she know that using this argument would also mean arguing that jewish people didn’t face a genocide in the holocaust bc they were fed scraps?

i can’t imagine arguing something so callous and ridiculous like this. what marks a genocide is the intent and action towards the annihilation of a population. israeli officials have expressed both intent and are acting on it.

“many unfortunately died” yeah they just magically die from the mistreatment? or is there perhaps a word for when your death is caused by someone exerting deadly violence? maybe a word like… killed? murdered?

also “israelis aren’t colonisers because the colonisers of palestinians actually let jewish people migrate 75+ years ago” is… a bizarre argument. so are the israelis who are recent settlers colonisers then? how about them expanding settlements even on what is legally palestinian land & enabling that? how about expelling a significant portion of palestinians in 1948 and taking their homes and lands despite the british not co-signing that, is that now colonisation? there was already a jewish population in the country and you’ll find that jewish migration to palestine was seemingly something the overall population did not mind until the intent of this migration being creating a separate jewish state and taking more than 50% of palestinian land to provide it to a smaller jewish population, the expressed fact from palestinians that they overwhelmingly did not want more than half of their country given to another population and the fact that it happened by force and violence anyways is very blatant colonisation, actually.

if france allowed me and everyone of my ethnicity to gradually enter france and we then took over parts of france and kicked out french people and eventually it got to the point where like 50% of france’s native population is no longer in france and we then call the country Gaul and the remaining minority french are then under our total control, and we kick them out of their own homes and put in random settlers from random countries (but ofc only of the same ethnicity as me) in their place and set up a racial apartheid system.. would that not be colonialism? would it be ok if i immigrated legally?

these justifications can be used to dismiss so many genocides and instances of colonialism. they aren’t looking at the actual definitions of the terms, they’re creating an entirely different criteria (and a pretty skewed-in-favour-of-colonisers-&-genocide-enactors) in order to defend their previously held position.

This is such bs. We don't cry socialisation when it comes to men yet you have so much sympathy when it comes to racists?

If it's so fucking easy for for white women to become racist why tf are you guys so angry when men become misogynists at the slightest annoyance?

Racism was not created to divide women lol. White people just thought of everyone else as subhuman.

WOC are always supporting white women's rights so idk wtf you're talking about.

If you believe white women face less misogyny than woc, you shouldn’t call yourself a feminist as you are too naive to understand how patriarchy works. White privilege doesn’t exist when it comes to women facing sexism and oppression. Under the patriarchy, all women are equally oppressed regardless of their financial status, social status, colour of the skin, race, religion or ethnicity. No rich woman is less of a victim than a poor or middle-class woman just because she has a lot of money, no famous woman is less of a victim than another woman who is not a popular celebrity, similarly, no white woman is less of a victim than a woman of colour just because she’s white. Racism is a social construct created by patriarchy to divide women. On one side, racist white women (who are socialised by the system to believe being white makes them superior) exclude woc from their feminism, and in retaliation to that some woc cry about "white women tears" when they see them facing misogyny which in turn, again, fuels up the rage of white women and they become more hateful towards woc. This is what patriarchy wants. It wants to divide women by instilling hatred between us to pave an easy path for men to oppress women. So before you choose to ignore any woman’s suffering, keep in mind that by doing so you’re making it easy for the misogynists.

one thing that is INSANE to me is people are being rounded up and hunted by ICE, being afraid of going to work, going to school. Being sent in a plane SHACKLED out of the US. Women and girls are getting their bodily autonomy ripped even further from them. Marginalised groups are getting their right to fair employment and fair chances dismantled. There are people who could barely afford medical care seeing a future where they will NEVER afford medical care. Trump is pulling the US out of the world health organisation, the climate change crisis organisation. Pausing cancer research.

While transgender folk are worried about a letter on their fucking drivers license. For once, just once, transgender activists couldn’t BEAR to move the fuck over and advocate for anybody other than themselves.

[hoperambling]

YKNOW WHAT. I've been sitting on it too long. too many of yalls discussions of gender basically just admit you don't actually see black men as men, or you don't see them as people at all.

"Men don't get punished for being masculine" unless they're black

"Men don't have to be afraid walking home alone at night" unless they're black.

"Men don't have to worry about the doctor not taking them seriously" unless they're black.

"Men don't have to worry about being assaulted and then ignored by the police/other authority figure" DO YOU EVEN HEAR YOURSELF

[redditreceipts]

here are some more examples I've noticed:

When will trans people stop comparing their issues to racial segregation and slavery?? Disgusting af

[recovering-womanhood]

I am fucking SICK of people transvestigating WOC athletes. Can y’all cool it with the racism for a fucking minute? Elevated T levels does not make her a man. It’s possible that she’s intersex, but that isn’t confirmed and ALSO doesn’t make her a man. She is NOT TRANSGENDER. Stop insulting her appearance. White woman tears have forever accused WOC of being men because “they couldn’t possibly be that much better than me”. I’m sick of it.

YouTube comments are a cesspool. Reading any comment section about immigration is dystopian, especially when they talk about sexual crimes against women. Do they care about the recent French case where a women was raped by scores of men, including her husband for 10 years, now that there’s no immigrant to blame? That’s just ~a few bad apples~ that he managed to find? White man can be judged as individuals, while migrants can’t? I see. The truth is it’s men everywhere, and men fearmongering about this don’t care about women.

when you say "black men are more violent than white men," you are also saying "black women are more violent than white women." if you equate blackness with violence, there's no way that you can claim sisterhood and solidarity with black women. if you are "racist to black men," you are one black woman disagreeing with you away from saying you hate black people. yall can use your brains enough to understand that misogyny perpetrated against white women still affects non white women. why can't you apply that to racism? is it because you're a selfish white person who has never seen black and brown people as equal to you? no matter how involved with leftism you claim you are? probably

"What happened in Germany since full legalisation? Today the police say that only 10% of the women have no pimp. About 90% of the women are migrants from very poor countries, mostly Romania and Bulgaria.

What we see is that prostitution is a very racist system. It is usually the racially discriminated women who enter prostitution – like Roma women from Romania. And prostitution itself is racist too because it fetishizes ethnicity. We have brothels that have a kind of apartheid system when it comes to the women. You go to the first floor for the Romanian women. You go to the second floor for Asian women. You go to the third floor for African women.

We see that prostitution in Germany makes sex buyers more racist. They use very racist and sexist slurs against women and they try to offer refugee women from Syria money for sex.

To allow prostitution makes a country more racist because the sex buyers who, for example, buy Asian women won’t see other non-prostituted Asian women as human. This is what we see. It’s as if we are still a colonialist country.

Legalisation normalises prostitution. For example, we had a TV show that was called ‘Pimp My Brothel’ where a brothel keeper who’s now in jail for human trafficking went into brothels to tell them what they could do better.

Legalisation brings more capitalism into prostitution because the women are the product and are only there to serve the client. So, legalisation strengthens the client’s rights. We even had a court case. There was a girl, I think she was 19, and her punter had not orgasmed and went to court over that. She had to pay him money because he wasn’t able to orgasm with her.

This is what legalisation does."

Gen Z activism will never lead anywhere because it is centered around people's feeling rather than aimed at really end discriminations, poverty, injustice. Their goal isn’t to improve society by making real changes and destroying what needs to be destroyed, it is to make sure everyone can do whatever they want to do without never being hurt, and more precisely to make sure that they and people who agree with them can do whatever they want to do without never being hurt. It's a mix of their self-centered world view, their individualism and their "us vs them" philosophy. Any opinion that goes against theirs is seen as hatred, any criticism of their words or actions is perceived as discrimination against them. If you say you disagree with them, they will reply "why do you hate us? why can't you leave us alone?". If you tell them what they do is bad, they will reply "why are you so mad at people existing ? why do you want us to die?". It doesn't matter if you have good arguments or if they genuinely are spreading nonsense or harmful rhetoric ; you can't say anything, because their feelings are more important that the truth, than social justice, than feminism, than anti racism activism, than anti capitalism, anti homophobia, anti poverty activism. It's me, myself and I against the evil people who do not agree with me and want me to disappear.

It doesn't work for several reasons. First, I know it might sound mean but when it comes to activism, your feelings literally don't matter. Activism isn’t about you personally. It's about systemic liberation and social justice. It's not about making you feel good. If it hurts you when someone criticize something you and other people do, because this something is rooted in, let's say, misogyny, racism, ableism, homophobia, because this something reinforce and encourage these, well, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that your feelings are hurt. What matters is to destroy misogyny, racism, ableism, homophobia - and a lot of other things. This is way more important than your feelings. Activism isn’t about your feelings. If it hurts you when we point out that you're wrong about a social thing, or that you're doing something harmful, it doesn't matter. We can and we should criticize what other people do.

And then, if you accept everything because you don't want to hurt anyone, you will end up accepting harmful and disgusting things. Some things people do and say should be critized and fought against, because they are harmful, rooted in misogyny, homophobia, racism and what not, because they reinforce and encourage discriminations, hatred, or exploitation, or because they're based on fake news. If you don't criticize anything, you let the door open for everything you claim to hate.

Feelings shouldn't come first. Feelings are personal, and making their protection a priority is inherently self-centered and selfish. Feelings are sometimes stupid and irrational. Feelings aren't always built on good things. What we should do is wondering if something is true or not, if it's harmful or not, what is it based on, who it benefits, when it appeared, who it exploits, how it works... we shouldn't wonder if it's going to hurt people on the internet if it ends up disappearing. We don't caee if it does.
