Sometimes I genuinely wonder if males can even be artistic or deep or anything without misogyny because when you look through their work it's either dehumanizing women and/or sexualizing them.
Like writers writing about women like literal sex objects (she breasted boobily, you know the type) or artists (especially classical artists) always painting women naked or directors making movies with women being objectified etc...
So many "auteurs" and all their "art" is full of misogyny... Smh

Liberal feminism wants women to be fluid enough to fit into the male mould while radical feminism wants to reshape the mould to fit women.

you know what? normalize ruthlessly mocking men’s interests completely unprovoked the same way they’ve spent years mocking pumpkin spice lattes and pop music and animal crossing and the sims and every other completely harmless thing women often enjoy. I Love Revenge

This is in fact what everyone is thinking, yes. And policing language more won’t make it stop.

I'm gonna say something mildly controversial lol.
Depictions of female rage never resonated with me. And no it's not because I'm not white or conventionally attractive blah blah.
It's because depictions of male rage focus on portraying the RESULT of the rage vs female rage portraying the woman herself.
Like think about it, every revenge movie with a man has extensive shots of him in action and you see the "evil people" (men and women) beaten up or shown justice.
But female rage often depicted as pretty women with blood all over them and even if they're beating up villains, the camera just stays focused on their visuals. I'd rather see the men they beat up and take revenge on than a shot that's meant to look pretty.

to an extent..its become a privilege to think rad feminism is unnecessary. "the 4b movement is transphobic!! why do rad fems have to be so exclusive :,(" listen. no matter how you identify in afghanistan, afab means woman means no rights. no matter how you identify in korea, afab means woman means a target on your back is just another "secondary sex characteristic".

once again I am saying that the belief that there is a profound Male Loneliness that is so much deeper than anything women are capable of feeling is part of why so many women are giving up on trying to form connections with them. you can’t constantly imply that women have neurotic baby brains incapable of feeling real human emotion and then seriously still wonder why it’s difficult for us to want to be around you. major loneliness is a human emotion, it does not belong to either sex, and this idea that women get constant praise as soon as we leave the house therefore we don’t know what it’s like to be lonely is fucking delusional. so many of us are deeply lonely too, but guess what? it’s not called a loneliness epidemic for us, we’re just called crazy cat ladies who don’t have any worth as people.
you do not own loneliness and suffering, nobody does, and thinking you’re the only ones who feel the way you do is further contributing to your emotional isolation.

Calling a woman ugly: beauty does not have any impact on her worth as a person and therefore is not an insult
Calling a man ugly: funny and true

Something happened in my English class that I think perfectly sums up how so many people don't understand feminism.
At the beginning of each class, we have to talk about something in english for two minutes. This woman decided to talk about radical feminism in South Korea. She explained how feminists there decide not to date men, have sex with men, marry men and have kids with men anymore. It was very interesting and well explained, and I was happy to see another woman from my uni talking about feminism. From what I understood, she's not Korean but goes to Korea often and has a lot of radical feminists friends there.
Then another woman raises her hand and asks "don't you think these rules are a little bit tough?". I roll my eyes, but the other woman is confused. She frowns. "What rules? What are you talking about?". "I mean, the not dating men rule. Isn’t it a bit too tough?". "Well of course it's tough for the men but that's the goal isn’t? Feminism has to be a bit tough to men in order to work". She really didn't seem to understand what that other woman meant, and the other was apparently confused about it. "I mean for the women... for the Korean women. Aren't these rules too tough for Korean feminists? Isn’t there a way to help women without giving them such hard rules to follow?".
I was very annoyed (so was the woman who talked about this movement in the first place) because how can you miss the point so badly? How does she think feminism works? Does she believe some sort of higher power gives Korean women rules to follow and that they get thrown in jail if they date a man? How can you describe this movement as "rules"? They aren't rules. They would be rules if Korean women were forced to obey them, if they were punished for dating men. That's not the case. What's happening is that some women decide of their own free will to stop dating men (among other things). They don't follow any rules, they freely chose to do what they do. It's about women's freedom, about women deciding what they do with their life and body. But I guess people nowadays use this concept only to defend prostitution and makeup, without understanding it in reality, when it comes to women doing things that go against what the patriarchy wants them to do.
Anyway, I find it interesting that this woman's first conclusion was that these were rules rather than free choices. This is why many people see radical feminism as a cult; they can't understand the idea of women making their own choices if those choices defy patriarchy. They think we must be some kind of cult that brainwashes them and forces them to obey and follow complicated rules, because how else can a woman decide to stop fucking men? A free woman would never do that.
