Should a radical feminist refuse to wear a dress and skirt, just as she refuses to wear makeup, high heels and manicures?
The life of one jewish woman is more valuable to me than all the men in Gaza.
oops, forgot, the lives of Palestinian (Arab) dicks have no value
(someone should recreate the oscar slap tonight but harder and with gal gadot)
as a gentile(?) it really turns my stomach seeing the way y'all normalise violence against jewish/jewish israeli women because you've been convinced they are settler colonists in their own fucking ancestral homeland. it would turn my stomach even IF they were what you claim them to be.
im not really talking about gal gadot here, im talking how as a whole jewish women/israeli women have been dehumanised to the point where y'all feel comfortable saying on twitter a woman should be physically assaulted because she happens to be israeli.
sorry but its not acceptable.
Because of these trans inclusive radical feminists, I don't know what posts I can like. I usually look for the tags "terf" and "terfsafe" under the post. These tags let me know that I'm reading a real radical feminist, not a man in a dress who demands attention
Men are constantly trying to divide us and make us quarrel. They try to talk nonsense about white privileged women. Or they try to make us think that women criminals are much more dangerous than men criminals. I read similar nonsense on Instagram the other day. Thanks for your "concern", but in a world without men we would all feel safer than in a world without dangerous women
"The Devil's greatest trick was making you believe that he doesn't exist."
Kind of like how men's greatest trick was making women believe that the patriarchy is an illusion and that their oppression is just a fantasy in the minds of a few crazy, shrieking harpies who call themselves "feminists."
When u get downvoted on a lesbian subreddit alright bruh pack it up😭😭✌🏻literally why are they mad I said being called femcel also affects lesbians even though we aren’t attracted to men

Literally my mom and her bfs dynamic except us kids have to pull his load too. The best example is how on his day off he doesn’t leave he couch, staying on his video game or watching anime. Meanwhile when my mom has a day off she cleans even if the house is relatively clean, cooks dinner and so much more. He makes more but they still do “50/50” hes also more ppl. He has 6 kids and my mom and I are two ppl. Don’t date a man, esp a man child.
Imagine being in one of those 50/50 marriages and you want to make a really nice dinner. You make it every night as well because your husband explains to you that you should only do what you're good at and he simply "isn't good at cooking", in return though, he will take out the trash when you remind him. Because this is a 50/50 household after all and he WANTS to pull his weight.
So you plan the dinner on your free time, then you take the shared household bank card that you both fill up with the same amount of money each month - 5% of his salary and 50% of yours because it's equal and how is it his fault that you chose a low paying job? This is 50/50!
You buy all the groceries, come home and clean up after your husband who doesn't work longer hours than you but he has explained that his job is more mentally exhausting so he will be more tired than you when he comes home. You wouldn't understand that with your physically and emotionally taxing job, you don't need that much rest. Besides, It doesn't even bother him that it's messy!
Then you prepare all the food for an hour or so, while it's in the oven you take the trash out because you've asked your husband to do it three times already and it's still there because he is simply too exhausted right now. You also load the laundry with both of your clothes, and fold the clean one because if your husband did it it would just be destroyed or never folded. You set the table, bring out the food, pour the drinks and when it's done you do the dishes because your husband simply "isn't good at doing dishes".
This is equality for men btw.
After dinner your husband sais he did a good job cooking the meal.
This is what dads who claim to have made their children sound like.
My old blog got t worded so I’m back now!!! I used to be raybugthe-radfem so if any of my mooties find me that’d be lovely!!! Here’s a redone intro:
I’m a minor and a lesbian
Im black and Indo Caribbean
I’m Canadian
I am anti SW, anti surrogacy, anti capitalist, pro-choice and gender critical
I love riot grrrl stuff, musical theatre, reading and writing and have recently taken an interest in pottery.
DNI:
Males, 13>, TRAs/gender culties
I hate this. They can't stop themselves from doing everything that they can to destroy women's rights. It's narcissism all the way down.
My favourite quotes from him:
"The Supreme Court failed in my view, adequately, to think about human rights points."
Because women's rights mean nothing, but men's entitlements are suddenly human rights.
"[This judgement] has left me two sexes at once, which is a nonsense and ironic, because the Supreme Court said that sex was binary," said Dr McCloud. "I am a woman for all purposes in law, but [now under this judgement] I'm a man for the Equality Act 2010. So I have to probably guess on any given occasion which sex I am."
There is no guessing. He's biologically male. He's deliberately obfuscating because he has a Gender Recognition Certificate.
"I am now expected to use male spaces. I have female anatomy. It isn't safe for women to use the men's loos. It is as simple as that."
I don't know what to say to this level of delusion.
The fight never ends. It's exhausting. Just leave women alone.
I saw a post asking about whether there was a woman or women in your life that changed your view about misogyny in society, or made you realise that women needed feminism, and I immediately thought of my abusive mother, the woman that gave me the CPTSD that I still struggle with.
She was the one that gaslighted me to avoid apologising for something that she had done wrong, but cried and apologised to my brother.
Where I was abused, my brother was excused, and when he stood by me and supported me, that was still my fault, and I was punished for it.
She was the one that eagerly bragged about being supportive of gay men, but was quick to share how disgusted she was by bisexuals, particularly bisexual women, and lesbians.
She was the one who screamed and beat me if I ever tried to stand up for myself, but when my brother stood up to her, she beat me again for not telling him to stop - and then absolved him of his words by deciding that he had been possessed by the ghost of her own abusive mother.
I was the one broken down and trapped into being a carer and homekeeper to take care of the family, and gaslit into believing that I was lucky to be able to be able to do that in the first place.
Feminism doesn't absolve women of their crimes. I'm glad that she's dead and gone and won't forgive her memory. But that wasn't random abuse. I was treated much worse than how she treated my brother and her husband because I was a girl and then a woman. She quite literally deluded herself to create excuses for my brother to forgive him and attack me. Even though she abused them, too, it was still nothing compared to what happened to me. The abuse had misogyny baked all the way through it.
I can't blame her for hating women, considering the patriarchy around us and other personal circumstances where she learned that hatred, and understanding just how strong and ingrained misogyny is, but I will blame her for her choice to abuse, because it was a choice. I think that sometimes, there's a belief that feminism means needing to protect or defend every single woman, even the most disgusting and evil women, and that isn't true at all. Evil women deserve liberation. No woman, whatever she does, deserves rape or abuse or oppression. What they deserve is to face true justice instead.
So yes, a woman made me rethink misogyny around me and the need for feminism, just not in the way that others would expect.
The internet is amazing for unlearning what the patriarchy has taught us to be automatic. It's even better to practice personal feminism.
Because we're online, we can take a step away and analyse our thoughts if we feel angry, disappointed or disgusted at another woman. We have the ability to pause and not hate the woman that sneers at feminism, but feel grief for her and understand why she rejects it.
When we catch ourselves lashing out at other groups of women, the internet gives us the opportunity to work through those negative emotions and remind ourselves that patriarchy pits us against each other on purpose.
It's an incredibly powerful tool to use. Where else can we finally learn how to personally dislike another woman, to hate her views or wish that she was better educated, but not blame her for countless generations of patriarchy and still genuinely hope that she grows, succeeds, lives well, is happy and, most of all, safe? Where else is the space that allows us to go through the negatives to come out the other side, even when it's hard, without harming another woman?
In this space, where feminists will most likely agree on 90% of issues, there's still anger and infighting and backbiting thanks to the misogynistic female socialisation that tells us that nobody hates women more than other women, and that misogyny carrying on to think that other women want to trip you up or are readying themselves to attack to tear you down.
Men aren't thinking about how best to free women. We have to do that ourselves. Do you honestly think we can even come close to dismantling even one small section of patriarchy if we haven't learned to actually stand shoulder-to-shoulder with other women?
If you can't support and uplift and care for other women even in the same space with the same general ideals as you, how do you think you're going to be able to support and uplift and care for the women that hate everything that feminism stands for and promotes everything that feminism stands against? How are you going to be patient and understanding enough to teach her? How are you going to avoid victim-blaming her if she ends up being hurt?
That's why the internet is so useful. We can learn to dislike other women and step away from other women for our own sanities if we need to, we can understand that we will never be able to be best friends with every other woman, we can criticise other women and hold other women to account for their actions, but with this curated space and time to think, not being face-to-face, we can start the process of genuinely caring for every single woman anyway - especially the ones that we dislike the most.
I'd argue that that is the most important activism that feminists can do right now, the one that has to happen first before patriarchy can actually be ripped apart the way that it needs to be.
We should always talk more about the emotional manipulation and gaslighting that comes from being women under the patriarchy. Violence and threats only go so far to oppress women. The rest of the trap is the way that patriarchy has managed to trick women into keeping ourselves down, without us ever noticing it.
Take this paragraph:
Like Buffy, do we feminist women turn to mediocre men who can express messiness so that we don’t have to? Does it make us feel stronger, more powerful, or more competent by comparison—but also keep us measuring our worth in relation to others rather than to ourselves? The strong woman/bad boyfriend phenomenon reminds me of how I felt when I first began interacting with transgendered (male-to-female) women at book signings. The women whom Amy Richards and I met during the Manifesta tour often came with a critique that the book had no discussion of transgender rights. I felt terrifically defensive—obsessed with the way the M-to-F pre-op women would dominate the evening, often with just their physical bigness. I hated the way they invaded a woman-only space, seeming to merely endure our reading so they could get to “their” part of the evening. “They wouldn’t—couldn’t—do that if they had been born women,” I seethed. “You don’t see female-to-male pre-operative men heading to the Harvard Club to demand inclusion. Why is it always women who have to make more space and take in everything?” But as I learned more about the history of transgenderism and met more transgendered people—M to F and F to M and points beyond—I revised that interpretation. I wonder now if it offended me that these women could be aggressive and take up space while I still thought I couldn’t. - From Look Both Ways: Bisexual Politics by Jennifer Baumgardner
From a question about mediocre men that immediately brought TIMs to mind, this feminist woman automatically felt righteously repulsed at men forcing their way into a female-only space, who clearly didn't care about female issues, and only endured discussions of women's issues and thoughts so that they could bleat about themselves instead.
Instead of her accepting what she knew, the fact that TIMs act like men because they're men, and TIFs act like women because they're women, she flipped a switch, threw in that she met a range of trans "and points beyond" people, and suddenly, TIMs taking over women's spaces and demanding that everything be about themselves became her own moral failing.
Again, this last line:
I wonder now if it offended me that these women could be aggressive and take up space while I still thought I couldn’t.
Critiques of her understanding of feminism aside, from the above text, she knew what men are like, and she was right to seethe. And yet, patriarchy is so strong that women will tie themselves in knots to be seen as acceptable to others, because of the teaching that men always matter more.
In her case - and in quite a lot of other cases, from women who won't really even think about feminism across whatever spectrums there are, I would wager - there will be this underlying idea that these men that claim womanhood are simply somehow better women than they are, and that is why those men deserve support and love and kindness over everything else.
Because those men are the kind of women that actual women are telling themselves that they should aspire to be. That actual women are failures, and the fakes are somehow the real deal.
Those women can tell themselves that it's about being unapologetic and loud and forceful about their individual needs - but it's another manipulative trap. Women can never become like those brave TIMs. As soon as they try, they're called TERFs, remember?
Look at the number of women who spend so much time defending TIMs, whether they're trans identified or not. Of course they do. They've been taught that the best of women, the most vulnerable of women? Those better "women" are all male.
Why do I say all this in regards to the trans issue? Because we're living in a time where numbers of women have genuinely been gaslit into believing that men can be women, in such a relatively short space of time. That men somehow can become biologically female through saying a few words out loud.
If that doesn't tell you how effective the psychological abuse of women is under the patriarchy, I don't know what else will.
The greatest trick of the patriarchy was to teach countless generations of women to be kind.
We can talk about statistics all day long, but the weaponisation of our compassion is what keeps us on our knees.
When we see studies about violence, the immediate reaction is but men can be victims, too, and examples like that are why the false ideas of the patriarchy hurts men, too and feminism is for everybody are so prevalent. Women have been so broken down by generations upon generations of manipulation through be kind that is feels wrong, that it feels psychologically painful to centre ourselves.
Instead of women being able to come together and fight for our rights as one, this malicious forced compassion makes us sideline and silence ourselves, with the reward being tricked into feeling like I'm a good and selfless person. When women dare to centre ourselves and put ourselves first reasonably, then we're gaslit into believing that we're being selfish, cruel and even violent, and when other women snap and snarl, tired of our treatment, then they're entirely dismissed as being any modern version of hysteric.
Men like to hide behind the idea that we're the manipulative ones that psychologically damage, but without a thousand generations of men reinforcing that we should think again and actually have kindness and compassion for others, women as a whole would be able to see through the blinders of oppression.
After all, to be anti-prostitution has been reframed as hating sex workers.
Fighting against systemic violence and rape against women is ignoring male victims and supporting female perpetrators.
Protecting female-only spaces is excluding a vulnerable minority's right to exist.
Few ordinary women want to be made to feel like they're hateful or cruel. As soon as we talk about women's issues, examples of individual men are brought up, and women are tricked into talking about them by either proving how kind we are ("of course I don't want anyone to be raped, male victims deserve help!") to distract us from our issues and re-centre men again, or women dismiss that obviously malicious call for compassion ("feminism isn't about men, sort your own issues out!") and then men use it as a reason as to why feminism is evil, because anything without kindness and compassion is wrong.
Women need to be taught that it's not unkind to put ourselves first, and that men use our compassion against us.
In feminism, our kindness and compassion must be reserved for our fellow women.
Women can be kind and compassionate to men in their private lives if they want, but that isn't part of feminism - and they need to be reminded that they won't get that kindness and compassion returned.
first of all, you calling abortion “genitalia-related” is already an indicator of your level of intelligence.
second of all, do you think rapists, murderers and molesters ask gender identity of their victims? do you think on job interviews they ask women their gender or if they’re planning pregnancy before not hiring? no, they see that you’re female and assume you’ll take a pregnancy leave one day or think you’re not as qualified as a man.
you’re trying to erase women’s reality, our everyday struggles, our history as an oppressed group. it never was and never will be about gender.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how

Whats your unpopular radfem opinion?
Mine is that I do not get mad when radfems still wear makeup, especially if they’re cutting back on it heavily.
ex-christian but i suspect life without eve's choice would have been hellish for women. eve was already condemned to the title of adam's rib. when i was a kid, i used to be angry with eve for taking away a chance at paradise (the intention, i'm certain). but now, i suspect she may have just saved us all the plight of her own existence and i like to think she had more in mind before and after she took that fruit.
If you’re having trouble with knowing what’s truly empowering for women just ask yourself these questions.
- Does this benefit men in any way?
- Is it something that’s forced onto women by the patriarchy?
- Are you confusing being empowered with personal enjoyment?
- Does this give women any real social, economic, political power as a class?
- Does this endanger a woman’s safety, mental health, and or comfort?
- Does it challenge the patriarchy?
I think this discussion came about from a man advocating for a return to handwashing clothes for climate conservation purposes. This is where I get problematic because messages about how small I need to live my life and how much energy I should save the planet by exerting my own and doing things manually will forever fall flat for me.
Respectfully, I will be utilizing every convenience and purchasing every energy-saving machine, gadget and gizmo. I think I would need to live 3 lifetimes to approach the energy consumption of even a moderately rich North American. Therefore, I will be CONSUMING. I WANT TO EAT THE WORLD. And I love how I need to give up hot showers and handwash clothes but nobody can be arsed to stop wars where energy is being used to make trillions of weapons to be dropped on infants. And yes people with say "B-but you have a personal responsibility"- sorry idgaf. I will pick up litter and recycle and not buy stupid plastic shit on Amazon, use one water bottle at a time and buy well made designer clothes that last decades instead of fast fashion- that's me doing my part.
Can’t reblog the post going round containing these two screenshots:
So I’ll put my addition here:
This also applies to women who complain about feminism requiring them to work, rather than being ‘ladies of leisure’. Women equivalent to them in the past always worked - who do they think were the maids, housekeepers, cooks, nannies, wet nurses, governesses, washerwomen, spinners, weavers, seamstresses, nurses, midwives, etc - and today’s equivalent of the past’s ladies of leisure can afford to be ladies of leisure now. Feminism fought for women’s work to be acknowledged, valued, and fairly paid, and that fight is still ongoing.
For me it’s about having the freedom to touch my own skin.
I stopped regularly using makeup earlier this year, it wasn’t really a conscious decision, just the way things turned out. Anyway after I’d been makeup-free for a couple of months I ended up wearing some makeup for an event, and it wasn’t even a lot of makeup compared to what I’d worn previously. But almost immediately I became so conscious of my face, I didn’t want to rub my eye for fear of smearing my eye makeup, or to eat too quickly for fear of ruining my lipstick.
I only wore the makeup for a few hours, and it was honestly so mentally draining having to constantly monitor myself.
So anyway, I’m hoping to keep up my makeup free journey into 2025! Wish me luck!
Reblog this and add a reason you dont wear make up
I’ll start 😊
There are no ingredients listed nor do make up companies answer to any type of health standards
Keep on running up that hill, ladies.
nobody will ever convince me the act of getting purely cosmetic surgeries- especially life threatening ones, is more empowering than coming to terms with your body. you don’t have to love your body. you don’t even have to like it. getting cosmetic procedures will only make you hate all the other things you don’t like about yourself even more. your body was not made to be “attractive”. and let me clarify, none of this blame is to be based on women in the big picture. yes- women have undeniably contributed to the normalization of these invasive and dangerous surgeries, this wouldn’t even be an issue if men didn’t think the entire existence of a woman is to cater to them.
Do you guys see this???
