mom, dad, i found grandma’s terf sideblog immortalized on the wayback machine. why is there 5 hours worth of entries agonizing over the word ‘fish.’
This is something i’ve been kinda stressing about lately as a lesbian woman. dunno if you could give your opinion?
i’m quite short. 5’3. Not ultra short, but shorter than average where I’m from (not american).
I’ve noticed I tend to find women of similar height and even slightly shorter attractive. It’s not that I haven’t ever found tall women attractive, I do, but I do seem to be more drawn toward the shorter ones.
Is this creepy? I don’t like it when the woman’s looks are juvenile looking. But I just seem to like the idea of my partner being either my size or maybe a bit smaller than me. Not like 4’10 or anything, but just a tad smaller. But now i’m worrying, because while I don’t think it’s the same as those 6’5 men who wanna date 5’0 women, maybe other women will see me as the same, especially radfems?:c
Again, it’s not like my future partner or my attraction in general has a height limit, I just, like some tend to prefer curly or straight hair, or like some lesbians hype up taller women, seem to like short women. In general though, big size differences have never appealed to me, neither in media or irl, so maybe it has something to do with it? Since i’m not overly tall myself, perhaps my preference just falls into line.
Sorry i’m rambling. Please be honest!
I'll be 100% honest anon, you are not saying anything that I would even remotely consider creepy or objectifying.
No one is obligated to a specific preference - men or womyn. I personally prefer a womyn who is my height or maybe just two inches taller. I also prefer fuller womyn, whether that is fat or muscle. This would only be an issue if right after you said that was your preference, you started rambling about how taller womyn are actually pieces of shit and that if a womyn has wavy hair then she's ugly lmao. That's only ever been the problem with men saying they don't like to date big womyn. They follow it up shitting on said big womyn instead of leaving it at, "I just prefer thin womyn."
You are not obligated to be attracted to anyone. You're just another gal with preferences.
You don’t get to argue that only males experience oppression based AND call yourself a feminist book.
You ever notice the difference between how ‘radicalized’ males are treated vs females? I mean it’s a huge case of ‘we all know why’ but you see posts about radicalized males in non-Radfem spaces and about half of them are like ‘they don’t have any friends or support systems :(. The poor babies, they were taught they could only enact their feelings through violence displays.’ There’s this urge to act like grown human males don’t have a sense of autonomy and when they act in their own class interests, it’s a neutral thing.
But females? They’re the group that’s capable of making decisions which means when they do or say evil shit, it’s recognized as a human act of evil (where are the million thought pieces on the way girls are groomed into Tradwife gender role bullshit compared to the amount for actual fucking neo-Nazi males) mind, I have no fondness for either group- though it’s always worth noting which group is more often than not committing actual violence- but it’s so wild how grown ass males are treated like little mindless babies who’s desire for a fuck mommy should outweigh everyone else’s wants by a good number of the populace.
thanks tumblr, maybe i will try ringworm if you dont have anything else
No I will not "look at the bright side" or "think positively" because I was born in a country where women don't have it as horrible as in other places. I didn't fucking choose to be born here, and they didn't choose to be born anywhere else.
If I were born in one of the 30 african and middle eastern countries where fgm is most concentrated according to the UN, my best scenario would be having my clitoris cut off without any kind of pain killer, with a razor blade that was never sterilized. They could also just decide to cut the whole thing off and then sew me shut, leaving a minuscule hole for my future "husband" to break through when he deems me worthy of his wrinkly, twice as old dick.
If I were born in Pakistan I could be one of the over 150 estimated women who get acid thrown at them annually, because their husbands (who I can assure you these women didn't marry by any real choice) threw a fucking tantrum over what they were wearing.
If I were born in America, where every 98 seconds someone is sexually assaulted, 91% of the victims being female, I could be one of the 1/3 of women who have experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime according to the New York City National Organization for Women.
So with that said, I DON'T CARE THAT I HAVE IT LESS BAD, IT DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER
I didn't choose to be born in a country where I'm kind of viewed as an equal human being by most people despite the anatomy I didn't choose to have. Those 150 estimated pakistani women didn't fucking choose to have acid thrown at their faces. The women of america didn't choose the reality they live in right now.
I was lucky to be born in Sweden. I shouldn't have to consider being treated as a living, breathing human being as something lucky just because I have a fucking vagina.
Fuck the bright side and fuck your "optimism"
^what he said
You know what’s funny about that “‘masculinity is universally praised’ erm have you ever spoken to a butch woman?” Post? I don’t think a Radfem’s said that kind of shit- because it is stupid and does ignore the lived experience of gender nonconforming females to focus on theory. You know what did say that though? Whipping girl the Trans feminism book because it’s focus is on liberating femininity and most of it reads as terminally online despite being written in 2007
will never get over what happened to the women’s march. the largest single-day protest in the history of the WORLD. 82 countries and 7 million people. an incredible display of female solidarity, hope, strength, and resistance. reduced to “white women in pussy hats.” not by conservatives but by leftists!! who gleefully dismissed this enormous protest because “white women voted for trump.” never mind that the women who attended the march very obviously did not vote for trump. they were all vilified anyway, even though a huge percentage of the protestors and organizers weren’t even white. the whole protest somehow came to be seen as a cringey, frivolous display of white woman privilege. again, the women’s march was GLOBAL and unprecedented in WORLD history. yet it’s pretty much never talked about anymore, except to joke about pussy hats.
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
