“okay But What About Women, This Is Real Feminism!”

don't you just hate how

a media exploring male sexuality *shows random naked women*

a media exploring female sexuality *shows random naked women*

No man = no problems.

Absolutely ALL eyes on Afghanistan.

Islamic men are literally banning women.

Women are denied proper education. They are forced to cover their entire body. They have no freedom of speech. They aren't even allowed to talk to each other. Their voices are now against the law. They can not sing, they can not shout.

After Taliban's takeover in 2021, Afghan women have been trapped in hell. "I was someone who was always out and about, who was very active in society. Now I'm stuck in the four walls of a house."

Cutting women out of workforce also led the country into deeper poverty, according to Global News. Girls and women are being sold like cattle so families can put food on the table. The insanely brave women participating in protests, fighting for their rights, face extreme punishment.

This has been going on for years and needs to be talked more about. Please make donations and/or spread the word. Do not shut up about it, do not get distracted.

This reminds me of this one post, I can't even remember where I saw it or what it said exactly. But I remember it saying something about how a lot of incels or manosphere misogynists base their theories and "observations" of how women act not on real life, but from porn. Like, incels or men in the manosphere will claim the average bodycount for a 21 year old is like, 70, which doesn't make sense if you regularly talk to actual women, but makes complete sense if your most frequent exposure to women is through porn. This post feels like one of those claims, despite the poster seemingly being female? Maybe she's just trying to appeal to the men in those spaces, or maybe she's NLOG-ing and just thinks that she's different from most women for not riding peen at the drop of a hat.

got blocked, and all i'm going to say is:

If you see no connection between a trend of young women willingly identifying with sexist stereotypes following a movement that pushed to define womanhood as sexist stereotypes and also shut down criticism women doing shit that perpetuated sexism as "their choice", that's okay, you can keep living in your land of willful ignorance. I'll continue having fun in the real world where we do observe things like "reality" and "obvious connections".

every time a GNC woman jumps ship and IDs as some category of “not a woman” it feels like she’s thrown her hands up and said “FINE you were right, I was being a woman the wrong way and it’s because I’m NOT one” but it’s celebrated as a victory rather than a crushing defeat for the rest of us who choose not to hide from our own reality. I get wanting to opt out of misogyny, but it’s just not possible...

makeup is a prison for women the reason i say that is because if you can’t go outside without a full face of makeup you’re imprisoning yourself

when a lesbian doesn’t want to have sex with a biological man:  penises and vaginas are analogous organs and are pretty much entirely the same lol.  Just get over it, stop being so unscientific and bigoted.

when you want aesthetic surgery done on your genitals: this counts as life saving support, penises and vaginas are so entirely different and people will die if they don’t have this procedure done

would encourage those interested in feminist/radical feminist/materialist feminist literature and ebooks to consider buying directly from spinifex press instead of amazon! it is a bit more costly to do so but there is probably no other publishing company with as extensive of a feminist catalogue and mission entirely and explicitly dedicated to highlighting and dismantling sex-based oppression for women, girls, gays, and lesbians. fiction, non-fiction, black authors, native authors, asian authors, lesbian authors, bisexual authors, mothers, child-free women, atheists, the religious, spiritual women, academics, doctors, lawyers, elders, artists, young women, trafficking survivors, abuse survivors, poetry, anthologies, critical analyses, vintage works, medical histories, memoirs, and so much more all through a [radical] feminist lens. a beautiful collection of diverse feminist thought, theory, and history. even if you can't buy anything, join their free newsletter and zoom meetings!

plus, with a changing technological landscape like ours it's a good idea to immortalize these books in physical print in our own libraries. how many movies can no longer be found on any streaming site or in any library with their physical copies going for hundreds of dollars on secondhand sites?

preserve your media and support a feminist company that still has its claws and fangs!

It's absolutely cruel to women in general to have gender neutral bathrooms replacing women's rooms, but it's downright unfathomably evil to do this to little and teen girls, especially in schools.

Imagine being 9 and getting your first period, bleeding all over the toilet, thinking you're dying, and having your male peers in the room with you instead of just other girls who can get you cleaned up and comfort you, telling you what a period is and that you're safe.

Imagine being 12 and having endometriosis, curled up on the toilet in agony on your lunch break at school, and hearing the boys in the next stall over making sex jokes (or worse - laughing at your sobbing).

Imagine being 10 and having no way to hide the fact that you changed your pad from the boys in your grade who will then go on to tease you and say you're bitchy and hormonal if you fight back.

Imagine being 14 and trying to find a moment of reprieve from the boys sexually harassing you, only to have them follow you into the bathroom and record audio of you urinating.

Imagine being 6, just entering first grade, and having an older boy kick open the cubicle you were struggling to lock.

Imagine being 17 and having your male peers crawl under your cubicle, phone in hand, camera app on.

Imagine being 15 and having nowhere to be with just your female friends to cry about heartbreak or harassment, or even just to be with girls alone to laugh and joke in peace.

Lack of sex segregated accommodations in wartime prisons are considered a human rights violation by the Geneva conventions for a reason. This is psychological torture towards our girls. It's evil. Truly fucking evil.
