edit: this post is not for terfs. trans women are women.

you ever just think about how across the whole of human history, the window of time where women have been able to choose not to spend their lives cooking and cleaning and being pregnant for men they never wanted to marry is so vanishingly small, and even then that’s not an option for women in lots of areas of the world, and there are girls being taken out of school and forced to marry at 12 years old, and if nothing changes for them then all they’ll ever know is a life of forced servitude and abuse and rape, and how some men just see this as fucking normal

you ever just think about how the gulf between women’s rights in different countries is so massive and there are men working their fingers to the bone to strip back reproductive rights because they look at their society where women can live their lives free from being shackled to men through financial dependence and constant pregnancy and childbirth and think ‘this won’t do at all’

you ever just think about the surge of ‘tradwife’ propaganda and how people are romanticising the vulnerability and dependence that some women would kill to break out of. how women are romanticising their own oppression

#actually truly insane to see that edit added lmao this is a certified radfem post word for word #happy future peaking op

This tiktok just single-handedly convinced me that relationships with men are incompatible with autonomy and dignity for women. This phenomenon obviously isn’t new to me, but the fact that so many women live with the constant pressure to have unwanted sex (what do we call unwanted sex?) is insane

You can just feel the Y chromosome

every single time its bisexuals identifying as lesbian despite knowing damn well theyre bisexual and then condemning actual lesbians for not being bisexual

a thing that really shook me was the study where women performed worse in a math test when they were wearing a swimsuit vs a sweater whereas for men there was no difference. objectification literally diminishes your brain capacity. i can't help but wonder what we could be in a truly liberated society because there's no way that how we are raised to be objectified and to even self objectify hasn't thoroughly poisoned our brains to always underperform even in normal clothes.

Honestly this isn't even a joke. There's something so fundamentally wrong with men being into women. Men are meant to be with men and women are meant to be with women. That's just the way it's supposed to go. Anything else is sick and psychotic and twisted.

#ate with this one op

If you have to use words like “work around” and “overcome” and “learn to love” when talking about gay people interacting sexually with genitals belonging to a person of the opposite sex then that’s a pretty good indicator that what you have to say is homophobic garbage

I saw this libfem tra say “oh you think being called uterus haver or birthing body is dehumanizing? Try being left out of the conversation!”

Like shut the fuck up you aren’t being left out you opted out. You decided you were too complex to be women because you see women as some blowup doll feminine stereotype, you decided that going by they/them made you above that, and now you’re whining that you’re being left out of the conversation.

I’m not calling women misogynistic bullshit because you can’t cope.

gender abolition (or postgenderism) is the concept that gender itself is a redundant concept and is therefore unrelated to sex. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postgenderism). i think you're looking for gender-critical.

i’m an abolitionist. gender and gender norms ARE completely unrelated to sex and have been used to marginalize and subjugate women since forever, no matter the period or culture in question

"we need more weird gays" you can't handle aces & aros. you can't handle queer-platonic relationships. you can't handle it/its users. you can't handle neopronouns and xenogenders. you can't handle polyamory.

You don’t get to say the female body isn’t real.

You don’t get to talk over that kind of bone-deep trauma, that is growing up this way.

You don’t get to philosophize over the reality of my physical existence. Of my pain. My anger. My pride. My joy.

You don’t get to qualify my femaleness.

You don’t get to benefit from female bodies.

You’ve already taken everything, except this female body. It’s mine. It’s ours. And you get nothing.

Some TRAs are perplexed by the nature of radical feminism because they cannot fathom caring about people other than themselves. This is the effect of taking "let people do what they want!" to the extreme it was never supposed to reach.

"Why are you trying to dictate other people's lives?" Is that what I'm doing? Or am I telling lesbians that they are free to express themselves in any way they so choose without assuming that this social deviation somehow means they are not women? Maybe I think about other people as well and want them to not be thinking they need to line the pockets of predatory "doctors" to be their "authentic" self.

"You're killing trans people!" I am very clearly not, since I receive plenty of death threats and racial slurs from TIMs every couple of weeks. So, I think they are alive and well and quite unaffected by my itty bitty tumblr blog lol.

I am all for the TIMS taking over sexualized, made up, high-heeled, big lashed, dagger nails femininity. I would love to live in a world where the sexualized images of bodies became 100% males dressed in ridiculous Halloween costumes.

They can have all of it, as far am I'm concerned. If they were women, or cared about being women, their priorities would be completely different, but it's all about a fluffy/sexualized cloud of femininity.

If all women categorically withdrew from feminization and left it for the TIMs...just imagine.
