”Feminists Think The Goals Of Tra’s And MtFs Are Unconnected-“ And You Spent An Entire Book Giving

… What do people even expect the answer to be when someone rejects them and they ask, ‘why?’ Because the ‘why’s’ going to hurt their feelings no matter what, it doesn’t feel good to not get what you want and all. It always happens too, people rarely go, ‘Will you go out with me?’ ‘Oh, no thank you’ ‘understandable have a nice day’ it’s usually ‘well why won’t you date me?’ What do they want from that? To be told they’re not attractive to the person? That they don’t share a lot of interests? There’s no answer that gets people into that, ‘understandable, have a nice day’ position… Part of me thinks it’s just to justify their anger over the situation. ‘I’m not mad that I was told no- I’m totally fine with being told no- but it’s kind of fucked up to not want to be in a relationship for <Any given reason> isn’t love supposed to be beyond that sort of thing?’

what i find most frustrating about the “do men of color benefit from patriarchy?” discourse on twitter is that those who deny that they do NEVER talk about the oppression women of color face from racism/imperialism AND the misogyny from their own communities. that’s how i know they care more about coddling abusive men of color than protecting women of color.

It does worry me sometimes when I’m going through blogs and find a kid in Radfem spaces. I don’t interact with them and but I sincerely hope these girls are staying safe. Never post your face or body, always use a pseudonym, if someone’s making them feel unsafe or sexually harassing them have an adult they can talk to, know they don’t owe strangers anything etc.

i'm sorry if this question is dumb but why women in islamic countries don't just fight back? why they don't protest? why they don't do anything? if every single woman and girl in islam countries go to protest they would win right? men can't kill half of the human population

why don't women just stop being oppressed

#peaktrans

it somewhat irritates me when people talk about how "masculinity is encouraged in girls, but femininity is discouraged in boys."

yes, it is more socially acceptable for a woman to present in a masculine manner than for a man to dress/act femininely. but that is not the same as masculinity being encouraged. tomboys are tolerated as young girls- but once you've hit pre-teen/teenage years, the expectation is that you femme up and drop any masculine characteristics. masculinity in girls is allowed as a childhood phase, but it is by no means encouraged, especially as you begin to mature and enter adolescence. anyone who thinks that masculine women are treated favorably in society has never met an actually masculine woman

When you make a joke about how if men could get pregnant they’d sell abortion pills in vending machines only to get hit with “trans men exist”

Yes, I am aware that women who change their pronouns are still capable of getting pregnant. It comes with the female reproductive system. This is not revolutionary information, nor is it an example of males getting pregnant

Don’t walk yourself into getting your feelings hurt if you can’t handle that being pointed out

"Your rights as women are inextricably tied with the rights of other minority groups, which means your liberation is too" Sure, makes sense, but why is it that I literally never see anyone saying this about other minority groups' liberation movements without getting (rightfully) smacked down for trying to All Lives Matter a minority-specific issue? This literally only happens with feminism. Bffr.

no wonder mommy has to march

This may be controversial, SO BE WARNED! OPINION ALERT! But I think with the state of patriarchal violence and how Hollywood treats women and girls i think it's safe to assume that most if not all sex scenes in movies and shows is probably sa on the actress. With rape scenes its not even a question.
