“it’s another culture, be respectful” idgaf 💀 if it’s oppressive to women, it’s a problem, i don’t care if it’s ur customs. girls having to cover themselves, not being allowed to go to school, being violated, not being allowed to be heard, literally being all around disrespected but you expect me to just be cool about it because “it’s culture”.

women do not deserve to be treated as lesser than in the name of anything. idc if it’s your religion, i don’t care if it’s tradition, it’s a bunch of bullshit.

edit: if ur only contribution is reblogging this post to tell ppl i’m a radfem, don’t bother. this is a post about women being abused. if your main takeaway is that the person ur reblogging from might have different views than you, you have some serious growing the fuck up to do.

Mens reactions to a story about women being brutally raped while on vacation in Dubai. It shouldn’t surprise me anymore but it always does.

Men are happy enough to share these comments on a public platform, with their real name and photo of themselves. But we are meant to believe they give a shit about consent? We are meant to believe they view women as fully people? Women get condemned for being naive, but what young person isn’t naive and trusting, who doesn’t want to have a good time on holiday? Nothing is said about the men who attack us and rape us.

The problem isn’t that men don’t understand the word no, it’s that they don’t see women as people.

I'm sorry but "educate your son" or "no means no" is such a brain-dead take. Your son understands the word no. A three year old understands the word no. A dog understands the word no. Stop coddling males. Rapists know that rape is wrong.

Kill them all! I refuse to beleive people are that stupid.

Woman is uncomfortable being in the bathroom with a trans woman so politely waits outside.

when the woman goes to the toilet she ins mistaken for a man (the person who says it to her isn’t being aggressive).

thankfully the trans woman jumps into save the day, and actually “she” is never mistaken for a man it’s only the woman who has short hair and where’s shorts instead of a skirt is mistaken for a man.

Even if this scenario happened, you have two women who are clearly uncomfortable being in a public toilet with someone they perceive as a man . This doesn’t change because one woman is briefly mistaken for a dude.

I find it so sad when my friends send me a text that says, “I’m not wearing any makeup today so don’t don’t be scared when you see me”. I know other women say makeup gives them confidence but how low is your self esteem that you feel the need to give a friend a warning that you look like a normal woman?

Give me strength, my guy “friend” who laughed at me and said “oh maybe I should do that, that’s how I can get a girlfriend” when I told him about being stalked and sexually harassed now uses she/they pronouns.

No it isn’t “girlboss” or feminist to say that you don’t care about the rape of Israeli women because of what’s happening in Palestine

The fact that people are claiming that they won’t trust the allegations against Neil Gaiman because the author of the article is “TeRfy” is bullshit. People cry out “support victims” unless the supposedly wrong kind of person calls attention to it. Like fuck man just the age range between Gaiman and his victims is more than enough evidence for me

Women I need some advice:

I’ve been having frequent headaches and some pain in my arms and legs more recently despite not working out. I’ve also felt incredibly fatigued even when going to bed earlier and sleeping in to get proper hours of sleep. I have a blood test soon though I’m not sure if that will catch any irregularities.

Does anybody recognize any possible health problems that I’m not aware of?

Oklahoma is attempting to pass a bill that would ban explicit romance novels. Authors, narrators, and sellers could all face fines of up to $100,000 and up to 10 years in jail for each instance.

If you live in OK, call your representative and tell them this bill should not be allowed to pass.

This is likely a test case. Republicans will try to pass it in OK and if it passes other states will likely try to pass similar laws.

In the meantime, get physical copies of books you like. Download those pdfs. Archive your AO3 stories and keep them on a physical hard drive. (Storing those files in the cloud could be problematic in the future as the company managing the cloud service can see what your files are)

Oklahoma Sen. Dusty Deevers proposes bill to ban all pornography: What to know about SB593

A bill proposed by Oklahoma Sen. Dusty Deevers, R-Elgin, seeks to raise punishment for child pornography but also aims to ban pornography al

[He stabbed me 13 times]

Michell showing the scars of her stabbing, among other women victims of male violence, protested this March 8th in Mexico City. The mexican state has consistently failed women and girls, often mocking or ignoring them until it's too late.

Just like millions of abusive men, her aggressor (a former romantic partner) walks freely because her injuries werent considered bad enough to send him to jail. It's no secret that the police and judicial system are abyssmally unjust towards women.

According to official data, 11 women are killed daily in Mexico but according to CIMACnoticias, this number might be skewed by the government itself.

Trans activists offline.

if you do any of these things you’re not a feminist

Radfems: I am concerned about female genital mutilation, the systemic rape and abuse of women in Africa and the middle east, the women’s rights violations in Afghanistan, honor killings in Islam, the human trafficking taking place around the world, sex tourism, and the lack of women’s rights in many countries. Also, we need to focus on femicide as it affects women everywhere but especially in the global south.

Liberals: …

Radfems: I also hate makeup and beauty standards.

Liberals: WOW. You white western radfems don’t care at ALL about what’s happening to women in the global south. Or the abuse of women in third world countries. What about what’s going on in Afghanistan? You don’t care!!!

I love to see the general public finally waking tf up

Guess what group has been talking about all these things for years and was demonized, shamed and threatend for it 🤔

no words left to speak, this post says it all.

helloooo

just download tumblr again and saw a couple asks wondering where I was (thanks!!!)

a lot of things have been happening lately, mainly I'm busy writing my dissertation bc I'm about to graduate and my advisor told me she's going to be abroad for like a month so we have to cram a lot of the work now 😭😭 I'm having a lot of fun with that tho and have no stress university-wise

BUT ALSO next year I'm moving to another country to continue my studies and looking for a flat is absolutely draining me (the lack of dishwashers.......)

also, originally I took this kinda long hiatus from the blog bc I was organising some events and demonstration at my university, mainly feminism-related (maybe I'll write another post on that as well :))) ) it all went very well and I'm very proud

so yeah been doing lots of stuff but I admit I missed my radical feminist corner of this website 🫶🏻🫶🏻

what have you all been up to lately?????

All I hear is "I see other women as props and I believe being a lesbian means assimilating my behaviour to that of a straight man while upholding patriarchal sexual standards so men still find me palatable"

Who actually believes this wattpad ass story

How do you cope with misogyny? I find myself getting depressed when I realize how much everyone hates women and that the world would never change.

meh I'm just really angry all the time.

Serious answer: I try to uplift/help/support the women in my life and I engage in activism and politics, I think it's normal to grieve what we could've had if we didn't live in a patriarchal system but our actions can and will be meaningful for so many women and that's something, it's a lot actually.

Less serious answer: I think of mysoginistic men when I hit the boxing bag hehe

Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline

We're not making it out of the patriarchy

It's funny bc I'm white but I've never turned to the KKK bc black people don't center me in their activism

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Feminists have never treated men the way mysoginists treat women, so yeah, I think this was abundantly clear.

Hello there! Dear tumblr user, did you know that "men as a class hold privilege and power over women" and "men are human beings who deserve basic decency" are two stances that can coexist :)

one time my university invited a motivational speaker and he started by talking about historical figures he found inspirational (like in business/economics) and then asked "what do they have in common?" and a girl in the crowd shouted "they're all men!"

Not sure who she was but I'll never forget her

remember when as kids my male cousins would make fun of me for growing body hair before them and would get offended when I told them they were just jealous

This mentality is really telling of the fact that you haven't done any politics or activism in real life.

I've been sitting with party representatives, union representatives and fellow members of movements I belong(ed) to for almost 10 years at this point.

Not a single one of these spaces didn't cater to males.

Engage in some politics outside of tumblr and/or niche organisations, I grant you your opinion will flip in 10 seconds max.

i'm currently on a train and i'm surrounded by women studying various stem things, maybe we'll make it out after all

OR people who don't think their voices deserve to be heard, or that feel like the political system is inaccessible to them.

I can't count how many times I've heard this from underprivileged women and girls.

People who ‘don’t do politics’ are so privileged. I said what I said.

Blue!

I too want to be friends with all the feminists in my phone, dms are always open :)))
