at work rn so I don't have time to expand a ton, but I think a lot of e-begging, like the "hi random stranger, I'm a [insert laundry list of identities here] and need money, can you help out?" is from isolation. they don't have people in their lives who know them that can help for whatever reason, so they go to strangers and use their identities to garner sympathy. and if you say no, it becomes less a question of "do you want to/can you donate" and more about "do you support X marginalized group?" it's a weird dynamic to create, and I'm not really sure how to react to it. I feel bad they have no one else to ask, and idk there's a larger ramble here about how we have an epidemic of isolation and unhealthy communities creating this feedback loop of moralizing/politicizing every action based on demographic rather than forming personal connections and building a legitimate support network.

#these people have alienated their natural support group and turn to guilt tripping strangers on the internet for money #always the victim

radfems reblog this if it’s okay to inbox you for a casual chat sometimes. I need more friends on here, I’ve had a radfem blog for like 6 months but haven’t made any acquaintances really

Let me describe to you what kind of world gender abolitionists actually dream about:

When a child would be born it’s biological sex, being an actual physical reality, would be noticed but not a single assumption regarding the child’s personality would be made based on it.

Growing up, children would be free to chose what toys and clothes they prefer. If they want to play with toy trucks or dolls, it would be fine either way. If they want to dress comfortably or in frilly colorful dresses, it would be fine.

Certain personality traits would not be encouraged in members of one sex and discouraged in the other. Females would be free to be strong, brave and assertive and males would not be shamed for being shy and soft spoken.

No female child would be called a tomboy and no male child would be called a sissy. No kid would ever be bullied for what we in our gendered world call “gender expression”.

When children would reach puberty they would still be free to dress how they want. Females would not be pressured to wear clothes that reveal their bodies and males would not be shamed if they chose to. Everybody would have a free choice of accessories, which would not be categorized as “men’s” or “women’s” but people could should whichever they liked. Or chose to not wear accessories at all if that’s what they are more comfortable with.

Females would not be pressured to keep their bodies slim, soft and hairless. Males would not be pressured to be athletic and muscular. Expectations of femininity and masculinity upon the body would not exist and affect negatively people’s relationship with their own body.

Everyone could choose a career without fearing stigmatization within that particular field because of their biological sex. The most important thing would be competence and not what someone has between their legs.

Domestic work would not be considered “women’s work” and would be shared equally between the sexes.

Biological sex would only be thought about when relevant. And everyone would be free to be themselves without ever having to worry about gender expectations. Nobody would feel the need to repress certain parts of their personality and exaggerate others in order to fit into some gender role that is being forced on them.

Gender abolitionism is not about restricting people’s choices but about giving them greater freedom.

the radfem assertion simplest to understand is that women are female people. any time someone says something like "terfs think women have to be (sexist stereotype, strict gender roles, white supremacist ideal) to count as women," they are either extremely misinformed, stupid, or they are telling you exactly what "female" means to them.

Do moids even use it/its or is it exclusively women that feel this degraded, worthless, and detached from their humanity

you know how kids don’t look like kids anymore? and the posts that say it’s about pedophilia?

i know celebrities don’t represent the population but there is a clear evolution of the standards, regardless if regular people live up to them.
