stop waiting for not upholding the pedophillic and unrealistic beauty standards to be "normalized".
the men you attract while looking like a child arent the men you should want to date.
I hope you don't mind, I'd like to recommend you some authors for your journey as a young Feminist.
Audre Lorde and bell hooks are two of the most prominent Black, Visionary, Feminists to have ever written. They are foundational staples in Visionary Feminism.
Lorde's short speeches "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House" and "There Is No Hierarchy Of Oppressions" are staples of Feminist literature and if you have access to your local library they can be found in The Selected Works of Audre Lorde, curated by Roxane Gay. "Sister Outsider" is also a staple book of hers.
I specifically recommend "Feminism is for Everybody" by hooks as well as looking into some of the many talks she was a part of before she passed that are all uploaded on YouTube.
Judith Butler is a highly academic read, but very easy to listen to if you look up interviews with them. If you're interested in higher academia Feminist thought, "Gender Trouble" is a great place to start and "Who's Afraid of Gender" really gets into current events and modern politics.
Leslie Feinberg is also a staple lesbian author. You can find a free PDF copy of "Stone Butch Blues" on Feinberg's website - lesliefeinberg.net.
I also recommend KimberlĂŠ Crenshaw, Mikki Kendall, and MarĂa Lugones. Crenshaw is a key voice regarding Critical Race Theory and she has many speeches and talks that you can find on YouTube. Mikki Kendall is the author of "Hood Feminism" - which is a staple on my own shelf. Lugones was an Argentine feminist philosopher and similar to Butler, she was deeply academic. Her work is in dialogue with another Peruvian humanist thinker, AnĂbal Quijano, regarding colonialism and power.
Most of those books should be available at your local library and almost of these thinkers have talks and speeches freely available on YouTube as well. I truly wish you well in your growth as a young Feminist voice.
i really appreciate this!! ill definitely look into these the next time i go to the library ďźďź
it's really nice and interesting to see a young radfem like me (15) on this website ^_^! most of the ones i've seen are well into their adult years and it almost intimidates me. thats why i typically just lurk lol. but i do have to say that radical feminism can be a truly agonizing thing sometimes, especially for a young girl. it hurts to acknowledge the gruesome extent of the patriarchy; it's confusing and painful and, to me, it can require a large degree of mental fortitude to not just break down sometimes. i say all this to encourage you to take breaks if you need it. you're young, i'm young, and i know serious topics like these can't always feel very good to think about. so rest, have fun, and find an inner peace you can come back to if things are stressful. best of luck to you đ :3
ive definitely noticed that too, and just with tumblr in general đ hope ur having a good day!
praying your prong collar gets cut from the terf pole before they're all lowered into the pot of boiling oil. would hate to see a child get caught up in that mess
i sure wonder what type of person sent this!
There is no way of truly knowing that the porn you consume is as "ethical" as it claims to be. Are you 100% sure that the actors haven't been trafficked? Do you know for certain that the performers are of age? Do you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that there is no abuse, coercion, or exploitation going on behind the scenes?
Just because something is marketed as "ethical" or "feminist", doesn't mean that it actually is.
men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? đ¤" as if they didnât quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day
only womyn are described as being "moody" or "hangry" or "grumpy", which are all terms that belittle us for being upset; while men are just allowed to be upset.. and respected.
Buying sex is an oxymoron. Sex by definition is consensual. If a prostitute wanted to have sex with a john, he would not have to pay her for it.
This is why prostitution is rape. Prostitutes do not want the sex. They need the money, they need food, housing, and childcare. Even to the prostitutes who have âchosenâ sex work, it is most often a question of âWould you be raped for your children to eat?â or âWould you be raped to keep your home?â
In the public opinion, if you coerce a woman into letting you fuck her by offering her the resources she lacks, offering a hungry woman food or a sick woman medicine, a woman who would not have sex with you otherwise, you are a rapist.
But if you offer money to fuck her so that she can pay for those things herself, you are a feminist and she is empowered through the transaction.
You can only talk about misogyny on this site in passive language without getting backlash. Itâs fine to say that itâs bad when women are oppressed, but saying itâs bad when men oppress women will ignite cries of ânot all men!â Itâs defanged feminism. Itâs removing the actor in the situation, removing the oppressor class from the oppression.
But the patriarchy isnât a force of nature, inflicting suffering without any real perpetrator. It isnât an act of god. Itâs an act of men.
men who dont think misogyny is a big problem and a valid form of oppression are actually just stupid.
womyn were the first slaves. up until VERY recently history wise, womyn were just property! men that think feminists are insane have probably never picked up a history book in their life.. or think that womyn SHOULD be property.
Why do men make fun of womenâs genitalia and weâre not supposed to be angry? Most of them havenât probably seen one in real life and you want me not be angry at you for making fun of a womenâs genitalia for not being pinker then a pig?
Context- I saw a video of a man making fun Sexyy Red genitalia after her sex tape was leaked. He was saying how it wasnât pink despite Sexyy Red being a black woman, he was a black man.
i just realised that âyouâre a bigotâ is just one of the new ways of calling women crazy for being aware of our global plight
and the way we use it to tone-police each other, itâs literally the same thing
20th century: oh you think female oppression is real and males are the oppressor? youâre a fucking insane crazy bitch go get a lobotomy and suck my dick
21st century: oh you think female oppression is real and males are the oppressor? youâre a fucking bigot white feminist terf bitch go kill yourself and suck my girlcock
they just call anyone radfems holy shit đđ
Putting "white women" before a misogynistic statement does not make that statement any less misogynistic btw
no no you see bitch can't be a misogynistic slur because i call men bitches too (i am insulting him by comparing him to a woman) đ
No gods, no masters and most importantly, no husbands
the idea that men should be included in feminism is actually insane. why would womyn include their oppressors in a movement for their liberation?? if men didn't exist, we wouldn't need feminism!
me except my rare legal name and age are on here
I have an idea!
instead of saying 'op is terf' under every fucking post which was made by women and provides valid information you should say 'op is a rapist and an abuser' under every men post. say 'op thinks porn is cool' and 'he cheated on his wife' GET FUCKING REAL. oh but I see, you are only against oppression if it's men who suffer
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
remember to comment "not funny" under EVERY male comedian you see đ
I want women to collectively start gaslighting men, in the way they gaslight us. If you see Reddit posts / IG posts say things like this.
I want women to undermine any menâs issues with saying:
âAhhh itâs not that deepâ
âChill, youâre being emotionalâ
âYou should focus on being a dad, none of your passions will matterâ
âAre you sure your fit to do this job?â
âI mean will your education even matter, your degree doesnât have much value lolâ
âAhh Menâď¸â
âI canât take you seriouslyâ
âYou sureâ
âI think youâre being dramaticâ
âYouâre being irrationalâ
âMen live life on easy modeâ (which they do)
âAre you sure, you didnât imagine it?â
âNahh we donât care about your passions and hobbies, how much money do you make?â
âI want a traditional husband that pays for everything but who also does all the domestic labourâ
âHave you gained weight?â
âIâm a visual creature so i need a really handsome manâ
âWhy am I not allowed to have preferencesâ
âAre you sure itâs not your faultâ
âI need to hear her side of the storyâ
â#notallwomenâ
âI mean if men donât go to war whatâs the point of them? Lolâ
âYou should give her a chanceâ
âYouâre standards are too highâ
âAre you sure you didnât imagine it?â
âI think youâre being hystericalâ
âYouâre standards are too highâ
âLearn to take a jokeâ
âwhy should someone have you if they could have someone younger?â
âWhy would she go for you, if she could have someone with more money lolâ
âYouâre gonna die aloneâ
Even if a Man is right about ANYTHING still proceed to gaslight him. IDGAF. Lmao. They have been doing this to women for most of history. Gaslight him, make him feel unworthy and shitty. I genuinely donât give a shit.
Let me know what more I should add to the list, in the comments.
laughing so hard there are tears running down my cheeks
"Radfems aren't safe people and they hurt women!"
If I brought up the little details of my sexual abuse to radical feminists, I wouldn't be blamed.
I wouldn't be told "well 17 is still legal" or "6 years isn't that bad of an age gap".
I wouldn't be told that it's not possession of child pornography because I "willingly" sent him photos of myself.
I wouldn't be told I led him on.
I wouldn't be told I stalked and abused him when I was behaving like a confused, traumatised child who didn't know what else to do.
I would be told it wasn't my fault. I would be supported. My pain would be validated. My experience wouldn't be diminished by "other people have it worse".
And I would be confident that this support wasn't a facade.
I will never get that from any other "feminist" community and believe me - I have tried.
Radfem spaces are the safest places for women who are victims of abuse and sex based violence.
PEOPLEâS MARCH???? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?? THIS IS WHY THE LEFT STAYS LOSING BYE
"you need to cite your sources!!" source: every second of my entire life which I have lived as a female human being
radfems being depicted as "ugly" will never stop being so ironically funny to me? like you're going to try to insult a group of womyn by... telling them that you aren't going to respect their opinion because they don't fit your beauty standards?? you're literally proving their point?? a woman's worth is not based on her sex appeal lmao
We truly will never be free because why is this most womenâs response to another woman not shaving the hair they all naturally grow from their bodies? Acting as though itâs some alien sight. And whatâs sad is I knew how these were gonna be before I even opened them. This visceral of a response over fucking armpit hair meanwhile men can look like literal werewolves and no one gives a fuck. Yet a post pubescent woman growing the hair (and I cannot stress this enough) that was intended to grow from her body has everyone ruffling their feathers. Itâs truly mind boggling to me. Even beyond how misogynistic it is, itâs also just plain rude. To feel this comfortable making these comments on a woman whoâs doing nothing but enjoying her life just because sheâs not fitting the patriarchal standard to a tee.
Anyways this woman is beautiful and itâs insane how society has brainwashed women into seeing shaving, something so ridiculous and a general waste of time, as a requirement to be presentable. And to the point where youâre shunned for not doing so. But remember ladies, Itâs a womanâs choice to shave/wax every inch of their body until theyâre hairless. And if you critique this ritual YOUâRE the misogynist #choicefeminist đ¤Ş
