I've been very focused on Korean feminism but France also needs attention

(Credit goes to @nicisnitrans on ig)

Marguerite Stern has been at the forefront of women's rights and liberation in France. She single handedly started a movement which empowered women to denounce sex-based violence and misogyny, and to find sisterhood along the way. Of course, it was quickly taken over by trans activists who bullied Marguerite out of her own movement, doxxed her, and a few days ago shut her out of the female-only space she created, then proceeded to vandalize it.

I still dont understand people who defend trans activism as feminist when this kind of shit happens regularly.

How can people deface an account of femicide with dicks and mocking slogans, and still think they're the good guys? How can they claim to be female when engaging in such typically male behaviours? Seriously how do they justify it to themselves, what level of cognitive dissonance are they on?

I'm so tired of men on both ends of the political spectrum, who cant lift a finger when we're being exploited, raped and murdered but suddenly have tons of energy when it comes to undoing feminist work and branding us as evil TERFs.

More than anything, I'm so tired of brave women being hindered, harassed, silenced, mocked, threatened and bullied for the crime, apparently, of standing up for womankind and denouncing sex-based oppression.

I stand in solidarity with Marguerite.

we’ll never even know how damaging it is that most of the images we see of women have been altered. like not even talking about photoshop, but makeup as well. how the fuck did women’s natural faces become unprofessional and informal. and both of those words really just mean that in certain contexts our faces are unacceptable. and those contexts have been broadening over the years, now seeming to encompass daily life. too many times have i heard women hesitant to go outside because their faces aren’t ready. i’m so annoyed

Saying "you can't have these beliefs AND call yourself a radical feminist" isn't a cult move. Because radical feminism is an ideology with certain goals, and not every belief is compatible with that goal. It's not policing your thinking, it's just telling you that calling yourself a radfem means something.

Porn is grooming literal children for sexual abuse every single day, and people think we’re evil for caring about it
