When David Foster Wallace said “there’s a lot of narcissism in self hatred” he was absolutely right.
Tumblr is a great source for modern twists on classic misogyny such as “you hysterical floozies have penis envy” “you’re uptight because you’re frigid and need a good fucking” and “all female characters in media must be virtuous and good examples of morals, lest they tempt women to fall into sin”
Nobody on radblr ever goes "hm. female socialization is so prevalent and suffocating that certain women will rebel against it and look down on women perpetuating it. We need to be considerate of them too. #all women are my sisters"
It only gets mentioned in the context of "be considerate and say nothing against str8 momma #16781265829^10 who is doing everything patriarchy wants her to even if it's throwing you under the bus"
hm. so interesting
I think about your post about women’s feminist views coming from a place of genuinely loving men a lot.
radfeminism in general comes from a place of wanting to reform men and convince them to be niceys because women cannot let go of their love for them and honestly genuinely truly want to be loved back. and the tryhard misandry comes from a place of hurt, the realization that men view them as subhuman even though they crave their affection, respect and attention like nothing else - while desperately wanting to be treated as an equal. this is why they willingly and readily abandon both when the right nigel comes along lol they think that their nigel is different and that they themselves are different because they're experiencing it firsthand and their experiences are real, unlike everyone else's. but that's to be expected in a hetero society, no amount of politics will ever keep women and men from each other
Every dumb ass post on here about men having soft bellies or whatever has the same energy as every other dumbass and constant defense of men. If you are falling over yourself to defend men, imaginary or real, you’re just another schill for the patriarchy, and whatever equipment and pronouns you have just tell everyone to what degree you hate yourself or if it’s just self-serving bullshit
Where were these men and their little pills bury bellies when Roe v Wade was overturned? Where are these sad little soft boys when women are getting assaulted in town halls? Where are these delicate little ferrets when it comes time to protect our right to vote?
Either still imaginary or waiting for women to take care of them I guess
Male positivity posts on this website are both useless and fucking insulting. Men hold 65% of the world’s wealth and account for 99% of rapes. What do they need your positivity for?
There is a word for pumping up somebody over and over who shits on everyone else. It’s called enabling.
Anyways I hope all men on the spectrum from hard to soft either start showing up for women, go to a secret undersea incel bunker where they will never contact humans again, or end their lifetimes and give their carbon energy back to Mother Earth in restitution
“Not every person has the right to be a parent” is a sentiment I feel is widely accepted in leftist circles, referring largely to abusive households. But this doesn’t get taken to condemn surrogacy and egg-donating industries. Like Jesus Christ why do most leftists not care about this flavor of stuff when it financially exploits women, and subjects them to unnecessary harm? All just because it means infertile women and homosexual couples can have a different way to have children to raise? What happened to “having children isn’t a guaranteed right” Of course I know it’s because of misogyny, but good grief.
