only womyn are described as being "moody" or "hangry" or "grumpy", which are all terms that belittle us for being upset; while men are just allowed to be upset.. and respected.
There is no way of truly knowing that the porn you consume is as "ethical" as it claims to be. Are you 100% sure that the actors haven't been trafficked? Do you know for certain that the performers are of age? Do you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that there is no abuse, coercion, or exploitation going on behind the scenes?
Just because something is marketed as "ethical" or "feminist", doesn't mean that it actually is.
as a woman, my agoraphobia and fear of being alone at night/in public is 100% related to my gender. as women, we are vulnerable to men, even in safe countries and areas. dangerous men dont look for other men, they look for women.
Hiya! Fellow teenage radfem (tho about to become an adult so take that as you will)!
Don't let others discredit you because of your age! However, don't feel pressured to have the same ideas forever. Keep questioning things, keep thinking critically, and if you change your mind then don't beat yourself up obmver "having been young" or whatnot. Doing all of these things is what led me to becoming a radfem and gender critical and I now feel that I have a lot less cognitive dissonance lol
Also, please remember to take breaks from radblr, since it can be a lot especially for all of us on the younger side.
Wish you all the best!

this quote in my textbook says “studies show that a majority of college students identify women with armpit hair as radically feminist, overly aggressive in their gender politics, and possibly man-hating” that’s me
Love seeing women with bare faces, short fingernails, practical shoes, comfortable clothing, a full plate, a toothy grin, a relaxed posture. Love love love seeing women comfortable and happy and unselfconscious.
I see another person sent an anon saying similar - I just want to echo the sentiment that it is so hard to cope with the negative aspects of social media even as an adult. And of course it can be even worse at your age. Please know that you always should prioritize your safety, happiness, and wellbeing. If seeing all the misogyny being exposed by fellow radical feminists is overwhelming, if you’re feeling conflicted about your views and it’s causing you distress, if people are being unkind to you, even if you don’t have a reason at all, it is 100% always okay for you to disengage. The weight of the world shouldn’t have to be on your shoulders. Existing as a girl in this world is already revolutionary. I hope you’re doing well - keep shining bright 🌟
thank you <33
radfems: pro choice, pro feminism, anti war, pro gay rights, people over profits, anti capitalist, support black lives matter, oppose patriarchal religions, oppose sex work and porn because women are people not products, support housing and labor rights for trans people while simultaneously disagreeing with their ideology
conservatives: anti choice, anti feminism, pro war, anti gay rights, profits over people, pro capitalist, don’t support black lives matter, not only support patriarchal religions but use them to enact misogynistic and dangerous laws against women, oppose sex work and porn because “muh religion”, discriminate against lgbt

Just notice, how every female-exclusive space soon turn the rules to "non-binaries, transgenders, dogs, parrots, everyone is welcome" while male spaces, stay for males only. We women should STOP sacrificing our space, we should stop being afraid of speaking up, we should stop reducing our body, we should stop being our last priority, all for the sake of not hurting men's feelings. This is not inclusion, it's misogyny with a mask, hidden behind the name of representation.
Reclaiming these words is a male supremacy linguistic trick to make women participate in their own humiliation.
