"Prostitution was illegal in most places, but the fines levied on prostitutes provided a steady income for towns (as they still do). Many approved of brothels to curb male rampages. Between 1436 and 1486, for example, gangs of young men, mostly the sons or servants of residents, preyed on Dijon women. They broke into the houses of spinsters, widows, or wives whose husbands were away to rape them, sometimes dragging the women through the streets to an empty house where they kept them for days, repeatedly raping them. City officials solved this problem by setting up municipal brothels. They filled them with the women who had been assaulted in the gang rape."
-p.43 of 'From Eve to Dawn, A History of Women in the World, Volume II: the Masculine Mystique' (French, Marilyn)

While I'm at it, I actually don't give a shit about morality either. I'm not catholic anymore and morality is a religious construct
I go strictly by my own ethical code

"Why do you do xyz if you're incapable of empathy?"
Being a decent person isn't about what you do or don't feel. It's about the actions you take.

Trying to debate or argue with me by making emotional appeals or appeals at empathy do not work on me
I do not feel empathy. You are appealing to an emotion I simply do not and will never have. It is something I am literally incapable of
"OH that makes you a bad person"
I do not care

Women reacting to our oppression with anger is not any where near the same level as men who hate women. It's mind boggling that people can't see the difference at this point
Casually reinforcing the idea that a "misandrist" woman just needs a man to fix her is just misogyny 101. Putting it in a shitty drawn comic doesn't make it less misogynistic
Not to mention it's implied the radfem is a lesbian or at least SSA. So your "mean woman needs a man to fix her" also crosses into homophobia territory

i really dislike how comfortable people have gotten with gender...they recognize that it's totally reliant on external factors and ends up oppressing women, but they refuse to take the next step: nullifying it, undermining it. in that sort of future where gender doesn't have a hold on people like it does now, being trans wouldn't make sense because sex would not just not equal gender--gender would be extinct, and there would ONLY be sex. making new pronouns would be unnecessary because pronouns wouldn't carry any implications or "vibes" like they do now. we've gotten too comfortable on this step to gender abolition. we need to keep going forward with this.

A lot of women need to stop confiding in their male partners about past trauma or SA because some of these men get off on that and will try to exploit it to be your savior, or use it as ammo to hurt you emotionally.

Not feminist as in "women should be included in the draft" but feminist as in "being drafted is a violation of bodily autonomy for any gender".
The draft should not exist. Drafting people into the military is a violation of human rights. You should not be able to force someone to risk their life. If you can't find enough people who care about a conflict to keep it going then it simply shouldn't keep going. You can't even force someone to donate a kidney using government power, why the fuck can you force them to donate their whole body and life to a cause they don't agree with or don't care about?

there's nothing more effective to tear down any groundbreaking feminist movement than to call it "men hating". i need you all to see through that bullshit bc believe it or not, there's nothing wrong with women having something that's only for women, only for us.
