#radical feminism

[theyjustadmitthathuh]

There are plenty of people crying that 4B is transphobic, but none have made the very simple word switch to make it trans inclusive:

No sex with impregnators

No giving birth

No dating impregnators

No marriage with impregnators

There! Completely trans inclusive now

Just adding that if you are in academia, radical feminism ideology has been bubbling there for decades and I know more than a few women in STEM and in law who hold professorships fall down the gender critical feminism -> radical feminism -> TERF rabbit hole.

In that crowd, seeing someone with high ranked academic credentials speak emotionally on a topic that is outside their academic area of training provides a certain form of catnip that turns off critical thinking. Ironically. But also dangerously.

garden variety conservative transphobia is going to get worse but radical feminism is also going to get worse. if youre a cis women terfs are going to try to recruit you and make you believe that the reason your rights are at stake is because of trans people. they're going to tell you that all men are your violent oppressors and they're going to include trans women in that category. they're gonna tell you about women who are gender traitors and joined the enemy and they're going to point to trans men. don't believe them. trans people are not your enemy, we have no power over you, and we desperately need your support and your solidarity.

be aware of radfem pipelines and dog whistles too. be skeptical of anyone that talks about the divine feminine or correlates birthing, menstruating, or female reproductive organs with womanhood. be especially skeptical of people who use those biological things as reasons to why women are more spiritual, or more in tune with nature, or just that they're better than men (read: anyone they decide is a man)

radical feminism is an expected reactionary outcome from cis women who are being oppressed by conservatives, especially when all they practice is ciscentric, liberal, white feminism. they feel the need to be radicalized but don't have the experience and information to pinpoint the true source of their suffering. trans people are not your enemy, AMAB people are not your enemy, anyone who identifies as a man is not your enemy. we're all being crushed under the same stone

Remember that men will try multiple manipulative techniques to turn you against 4B.

“You’ll be miserable when you’re old just like all single women!” Don’t care. Blocked.

“I’m a virgin, how does it affect me? I haven’t even been hugged.” Don’t care. Blocked.

“We’re all just glad you’re no longer sleeping around.” Don’t care. Blocked.

“Are you that angry you can’t kill babies that you’re no longer having sex?” Don’t care. Blocked.

“We’ll have sex with you anyway, you don’t have a choice.” Don’t care. Blocked.

“I didn’t vote for Trump! I’m a good guy!” Don’t care. Blocked.

4B is against male interests. Don’t be intimated by male whining in any form.

I'd love to see feminists placing women in the role of "default human" from now on as a way of centering them, using feminine pronouns when speaking of people generally. Men have done this for themselves for more than long enough. I want to take maleness out of our language as much as possible, at least in English.

"To each their own" >>> "To each her own"

"Every person should be able to do what he wants" >>> "Every person should be able to do what she wants"

"God in His infinite wisdom..." >>> "God in Her infinite wisdom..."

Etc.

Just speak from the female experience as much as possible. Wash maleness out of your speech, and you'll wash it gradually out of your way of thinking.

seeing women come out as nonbinary and then start just dressing a certain way. and I just want to tell them that you can not shave and have short hair and not wear makeup and wear androgynous clothes and still be a woman. and the fact that people are trying to sell you the idea that you can’t look that way and still be a woman is misogynistic

[reignof-roses]

they’ve already started doing this with chapell roan. it’s like they’re blood hounds who get activated at the slightest sniff of female joy.

you know what? normalize ruthlessly mocking men’s interests completely unprovoked the same way they’ve spent years mocking pumpkin spice lattes and pop music and animal crossing and the sims and every other completely harmless thing women often enjoy. I Love Revenge

Men masturbate to shit that would be considered an actual fucking crime in literally any other context outside of porn and then act like that has no influence whatsoever on how they view and interact with women.

The fact that men are credited with advancing civilization, rather than condemned for critically stunting its advancement after they forbade half of humanity from contributing, is an excellent example of an androcentric analysis.

from the abhorrent sex crimes in south korea, to femicide in the united kingdom, to women and girls in afghanistan losing the right to be seen and heard in public. misogyny is the most prevalent form of oppression around the world, yet, is the one that is the least taken seriously by governments and society as a whole.
