My take on “radical feminism” that nobody asked for
I myself consider myself leaning very into radical feminism but I see that terf ideologies seem to get mixed in more often than not (wanna make it clear I support trans rights)
1. A lot of rad fems think that all heterosexual sex is rape which is such an insane thing to do and implies that women do not have the power or capacity to consent to heterosexual sex
2. I do agree that we as woman will never find liberation through sex or sex work however rad fems do not realize that a lot of women fall into sex work and can not simply quit, I do not support the sex work industry but I support sex workers
3. To me it seems a lot of white women have overshadowed the movement and only mention woc when it’s used as an aha! moment against men and not with the intention of actually helping
4. Extreme transphobia, the main idea is that trans women rape women’s body’s and appropriating the body, my conflict with this is women are not their bodies and trans women have always felt like women since birth is the biological aspect that’s the problem
5. A lot of rad fems think a women choosing a certain lifestyle or religion is oppressive which again perpetuates the idea that women can not make a choice without a man or patriarchal idea being involved or a sense of brain washing
I think a lot of rad fems have lost sense of the movement and more times than often make themselves appear victim like and in a constant state of martyrdom, yes we women have suffered and continue to suffer and be oppressed but we can not let this weight break us down and make us point fingers at people (trans women and women who choose religion or certain life styles) who are not the root cause of our suffering
Please let me know your thoughts
Edit
⭐️Some people seem to be confused about this but i was born a woman and will always be a woman, it’s so crazy how other women will try to degrade me as if they were men for disagreeing with them or seeing things differently, i do not like liberal feminism and i never have, and i do not like to label my belief system and prefer to make a more individual standpoint than community⭐️
Another edit lol
⭐️I have never claimed to be a rad fem or that I know everything about rad feminism because I don’t, and that was the purpose of this post, it’s really crazy how people will say they want to educate and liberate women while yelling and degrading me for simply not agreeing with them and proceed to do the same things men do, you are no better than a man, I’ve come to realize that this community strayed from its original purpose and roots and has been taken over by people who want to put in their own two cents and opinion, this community or at least a good portion of it seems like a very miserable community, I have meet a lot of rad fems who have common sense and realize that hate will get them nowhere and being rude to me won’t achieve anything, on the other hand majority of rad fems I’ve meet have misconstrued the movement from what I’ve read and put feelings over facts, I won’t interact to hate and only to genuine discussions ⭐️
I understand how a lot of women do not want womanhood and the being a woman be reduced to just our genitals and I also see how other women do not want womanhood to be defined by stereotypes or what society thinks a woman is and use biology as a way to define it,
However in my culture women have never been seen as weak and have never had negative stereotypes put on us so I think I do have a disconnect to women who define being a woman with our genitalia and tend to agree with the first more
Women in my culture are seen as strong warriors, protectors, nurtures etc so I never minded those things defining womanhood and femininity in my community I do however have a problem with how the patriarchy sees us
What do y’all think?
Seeing clips of the Lily Phillips interview was truly heart breaking and only reinforces the fact that sex work especially prostitution will never be liberating and only further damages a woman’s mental health and body
For context for anyone who doesn’t know
Lily Phillips was originally only an only fans star but recently slept with 100 men in one go, for free, and filmed it.
In the interview towards the end you see her begin to cry, dissociate, and not even be able to describe how she feels
One thing that really stuck out to me is that she says she felt bad for not being able to fully please all the men and that made it all click for me that she did all of this to feel male validation and got more than what she bargained for.
To punish herself and “put”herself through such an intense trauma makes me feel like the people in her life took advantage of her vulnerability and her wanting to please and exploited it
A tale as old as time
I Can’t stand the people saying that she asked for it or that it’s her fault because she set it up when it’s very obvious she is not in the correct headspace to do things like that, no one is, I really see things like this as a form of self harm and punishment
I really hope she is able to get the help she needs and is able to safely leave the sex industry(slavery)
Thank you for sharing your sources, very sad to see these sorts of things happening and I wish more was done to protect the victims
It’s very sad to see such horrible and sick people make the community look bad and tear down what they have fought for
I do not believe the trans community is inherently misogynistic, but I do think that misogyny can seep in and poison the minds of some people

⭐️i am a woman, i was born a woman and will always be a woman

My stance
⭐️anti trans is not allowed, yes I know there are trans people who have done bad things that’s the way people in every community work, there are bad people everywhere
⭐️women will never find liberation through sex but is is something we can enjoy, prostitution, porn, and other forms of sexual slavery will always be that sexual slavery and never liberating
⭐️this is a very small minority of rad fems that believe women cannot rape but yes women are capable of rape, towards men, children, and other women, rape is to force or coerce someone into committing sexual acts and or sexual relations
⭐️I do believe everyman contributes to the patriarchy and misogyny in some way
⭐️degrading me for my beliefs and not agreeing with you only makes you sound like a man sorry not sorry
These aren’t all my stances but some key ones
So glad we can come to a good conclusion 🫶🫶💗 much love and may peace be with you always💖
I've seen your profile and I couldn't be more surprised on how you're the only rad leaning feminist that I can agree
You are educated, you are nice with the others and I really appreciate how you handle all this harrassment, they call you a TRA or worse stuff, some even go down to throw misogynistic slurs and speak at you, just because you are nice with trans people
I think is that you're not white and not from west and being a sister not from Europe or north america i can agree we both have different views on trans people than the people there, we are more accepting and aware on how they are (I'm from latin america btw)
I do agree by a lot with your points
thank you if you read that
😭😭 I’m so glad you found my profile!!
I’m from Latin America as well and come form a tribe that is a direct descendant of the Mayans
I have gotten very hateful comments especially about my culture which was very odd to me since we live in peace and are able to coexist and some radfems here have the audacity to say my culture is wrong just because I don’t see trans people as a threat to women because in my community they never have been
It is very sad that they insult me and degrade me and tell me I have no self respect which is the exact same thing men say to me to insult me
One thing I have learned is that white women will never be women of colors allies, never have been never will be, and I’m assuming most of the women spewing hate speech at me are white women who lack any cultural context and don’t bother to educate themselves or listen to what non white women have to say. They have a very “im right and your wrong” mindset
I’m glad to meet someone like minded and I hope my blog continues to reach more people like you
Much love 💖🫶

just curious where’s ur source for lisa edelstein being a zionist bc i believe u and i condemn her if so but wherrr are u getting this from.
She has liked some very racist tweets on twitter about Palestinians and she also follows a lot of Israel propaganda pages on Instagram like naotishby and honestreporting
Pages that call pro Palestinians Hamas members and tries to down play the destruction done in Gaza
I havent posted in such a long time
