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.
“I do not identify with being silent I do not identify with being pink I do not identify with being soft I do not identify with being scared I do not identify with being weak I do not identify with being submissive I do not identify with being irrational I do not identify with being hysterical I do not identify with being bad at maths I do not identify with being unintelligent I do not identify with being followed I do not identify with being grabbed I do not identify with being assaulted I do not identify with being raped I do not identify with being inferior I do not identify with being a woman as society has created it. I do not identify as cis. I am not cis. I am a woman trying to fight with every fibre of my being against everything that my “gender identity” tells me to be. Woman as defined by society is not my gender identity. My gender identity is fuck this oppressive bullshit, and let me be a human fucking being.”

some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:
addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting
phys disabled people who deny medical treatment
neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)
trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)
and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase
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.
the term "tirf" just reminds me of those people who call themselves atheists but gasp when you criticize a religion other than the one their strict parents raised them in
it’s literally so unfair that ‘gendered’ insults towards men really just slut-shame their mothers - ‘bastard’, ‘son of a bitch’. NOT fucking fair. men call women cunt whore bitch cow slut crone dyke etc etc etc until the ends of the earth, and alllll those words are just fueled by hatred of the female body. let’s flip the script girls…. I want to be able to call a guy ‘‘semen sack’ and for it to be the worst insult he’s ever had thrown in his face
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".
all fetishism is bad because fetishes are fixations and sex is supposed to be relational - instead of being aroused by your partner and using things as props, you end up being aroused by a thing and using your partner as prop. if you fixate on a specific scenario for one and end up aroused by playing it out rather than the person you're having sex with, your partner is just an actor in it and could be replaced by whoever. that's why postmodernist pornography-fueled sexuality is so painfully unerotic - it's impersonal, without the intimate interpersonal element, desire of a partner as a person. it's literally regression in sexual development
since i'm putting in effort to revamp this blog and use it more, i might as well make an about me:
hi, my name is dot (short for dorothy). i'm adult years old and i live in the great city of wouldn't you like to know-ville.
i'm crypto. in fact, if i'm reblogging posts from you, it's very likely i follow you on my main.
you might know me on other websites as vampface or vampfacing.
DNI/DNF: anyone not willing to engage in good faith. everyone else welcome, i don't mind cryptos following me and i don't mind "hatefollows" from TRAS.
beliefs: abolish the sex industry. LGB without the T. the beauty industry calls women ugly to sell us shit. 4B, we will not free ourselves by coupling with our oppressors. men can't become women and vice versa. BDSM fetishes are normalized domestic violence. non violent fetishes are used to sexually exploit all aspects of female existence. believe all women, yes, even that one you don't like. i stand with JKR. yes, all men. Feminism should be intersectional. Not your uterus, not your opinion (Pro-abortion and pro-choice).
She's not "celebrating her sexuality" she's objectifying herself for the sake of male sexuality. Ask yourself, when straight male performers want to "celebrate their sexuality" on stage or in music videos, do they put on little booty shorts and a crop top? Do they cake their faces in makeup and shave their legs? No, they dress comfortably, and bring out women who are attractive to them dressed all degradingly. So I guess to answer your question, she can express her sexuality in a less male-gazey way by dressing comfortably, and letting the men parade around the stage half naked in degrading little outfits.
I don't know what makes me sadder; the bimbofication to become famous, or the fact that it worked.
