#this is your brain on feminism

This is hilarious: an epicly-overconfident Kamala-supporting "political analyst" prematurely celebrates a Democrat victory by purchasing champagne on election night and lecturing a man. Did it ever get drunk?

"Where do the "nice guys" go when men call women whores, bitches, incubators, dumbasses bc of their sex huh?"

I have never hung out with any men calling women "whores, bitches, incubators and dumbasses". I don't think I've actually ever even encountered anyone in real life talk like that, only a few angry trolls here and there online. If you're genuinely hearing that on a daily basis you should definitely look to finding some new friends. But to act as though that is ordinary and unremarkable behaviour in mainstream society in 2023 is delusional.

Also,

"Males don't care about women's problems,"

Actually, men do. Studies repeatedly show that women have an in-group bias that men do not: both men and women like and care for women far, far more than either men or women like or care for men. One of the most obvious things this means in practice is that you can very easily get men to care about and vote for things that will benefit women as a class, but it's just about impossible to get either women OR men to vote for anything that will specifically help men in need.

"they just think that if a woman talks about anything other than prostate owners, then she automatically becomes a feminist."

No, they think if a woman cannot talk about anything other than hating prostrate owners, then she automatically becomes a feminist.

i love night walks. its such a shame im a woman

People on this site love to say the goofiest things on the planet. Just came across this ridiculous crap lmao

The west is fast collapsing because little girls like this have been brainwashed at every point of their lives into hating every second human being who has ever lived, apparently completely unaware that they depend upon them for life, safety, shelter and survival.

Stupidity is sad, but gleefully malevolent stupidity is sadder.

the barbie (2023) experience as an afab non binary person is just [reconnecting with your femininity and love for pink bc you couldnt when u were younger bc being too girly will get u made fun of] [feeling guilt bc u dont identify with being a girl but girlhood is so inherently beautiful and magical and no experience is truly like it] [healing the inner child in you by allowing yourself to enjoy dolls and pink and maximalism] [unapologetically letting yourself wear pink and be stereotypically girly in a society where being non binary means you have to be presenting androgynous 24/7] [getting your grown-up heart shattered and then put back together again by your inner child using sparkly glue over and over in the span of two hours] [realizing that no matter what you do you have somewhat experienced girlhood and it shaped you to be the person you are today and you will never get to erase that experience or truly disconnect yourself from it] [appreciating and understanding your mother in a way that you thought wasnt possible without experiecing motherhood]

It was a bit Huffposty, but actually quite a thoughtful article, and then came the feminist comments.....

it's very frustrating watching radblr bloggers falling for hoaxes, conspiracies and right-wing clickbait. my instinct is that it happens mostly due to those who are especially young or especially old (compared with most radfems on tumblr) lacking digital literacy. but recognising bias and fact checking and not falling for outrageous headlines are skills which have been around a lot longer than the internet. so why have we forgotten them? i expect a certain lack of intellectual curiosity from the "block and stay safe" crowd, but not from women and girls who have often already done the work of learning to think critically.

here's a hint: if a headline gives you a gut reaction of blind fury or disgust or some other extreme emotion, do a quick google. see how other sites report the story, or if they report it at all.

another hint: right-wing media is not your friend. read widely, but remember that right-wing journalists earn their money by convincing their readers that "wokery" is something to fear. this is a long read but i think it gives great insight as to how stories are twisted when covered by even moderate, respected right-wing broadsheets in the uk like the times and the telegraph:

none of us are immune or infallible when it comes to propaganda and manufactured outrage. especially me - i'm sure you could find a ton of posts on my own blog that fit this description. but it's something we have absolutely got to keep working on, for the sake of our movements, yes, but mostly for ourselves.

i once read a fic with an EXTREMELY twinky ooc Erik Lehnsherr

Wow, you never would’ve guessed this is Magneto, Master of Magnetism.

I like the use of the word "openly" there, too, like the gay men still want to fuck the radfems - how could they not?!? - they're just keeping quiet about it...

gay m*n are not our allies just because they don't openly want to fuck us.

I'll never understand the hate toward acofas...

[feminismisstillahatemovement]

This reminder that there are people in 2024 who still believe women are paid less than men for the same hours and the same work makes my heart sink and my head ache.

Talking about pay disparity and gender bias makes conservatives change the subject really fcuking quickly.

I fucking hate the Hawkeye Initiative. Putting men in skimpy outfits does literally nothing to reverse the harm of sexualizing and objectifying women.

[feminismisstillahatemovement]

I'm working on it. Don't rush me.

#FeminismHelpsMenToo

[feminismisstillahatemovement]

This is also the problem with collectivist thinking - when you lump everyone with a shared characteristic into a mass that you then hold collectively responsible for anything any individual member of that group has ever done. This is bad enough when you do it to, say, everyone from a particular country, or race, or religion. But when you adopt that position about every second human being that has ever lived, as feminism does, then the results are societally catastrophic.

Feminists talk of "Men" as a monolithic class that needs to be responsible for itself, rather than part of the human family and hence deserving of the same care, compassion and empathy as women and children. By doing this, feminists absolve themselves from any responsibility to be decent human beings, and instead turn into the humanity-hating monsters we all know so well.

Feminism really is a cancer.

Women: women get assaulted

Men: men get assaulted too

Also men when other men get assaulted: "wimp" "you're lucky" "I would have killed to have a teacher like her" "wish that was my mom" "you're gay" "you couldn't fight him off" "you let a girl overpower you"

"Taylor swift porn deepfakes dropped and leftists are arguing it’s ok because she’s white and rich !! It doesn’t matter if she’s white and rich, because misogyny affects all of us uwu"

and yet, when brown Muslim Palestinian women struggling in their war torn country got displaced in camps and resorted to cut their tent because they didn't have menstrual products were PLEADING for help/attention, you remained quiet

...but yes, the discourse calling out the selective mobilization of western feminists who constantly cape for rich/White/Western celebrities while not displaying an ounce of this energy to speak up for women struggling & dying en masse in the biggest conflict in the world right now is just silly "leftism"

shut up. like, forever.
