no i dont think women starving themselves and reconstructing their entire faces with makeup and plastic surgery is feminism and female empowerment
remember to comment "not funny" under EVERY male comedian you see đ
I want women to collectively start gaslighting men, in the way they gaslight us. If you see Reddit posts / IG posts say things like this.
I want women to undermine any menâs issues with saying:
âAhhh itâs not that deepâ
âChill, youâre being emotionalâ
âYou should focus on being a dad, none of your passions will matterâ
âAre you sure your fit to do this job?â
âI mean will your education even matter, your degree doesnât have much value lolâ
âAhh Menâď¸â
âI canât take you seriouslyâ
âYou sureâ
âI think youâre being dramaticâ
âYouâre being irrationalâ
âMen live life on easy modeâ (which they do)
âAre you sure, you didnât imagine it?â
âNahh we donât care about your passions and hobbies, how much money do you make?â
âI want a traditional husband that pays for everything but who also does all the domestic labourâ
âHave you gained weight?â
âIâm a visual creature so i need a really handsome manâ
âWhy am I not allowed to have preferencesâ
âAre you sure itâs not your faultâ
âI need to hear her side of the storyâ
â#notallwomenâ
âI mean if men donât go to war whatâs the point of them? Lolâ
âYou should give her a chanceâ
âYouâre standards are too highâ
âAre you sure you didnât imagine it?â
âI think youâre being hystericalâ
âYouâre standards are too highâ
âLearn to take a jokeâ
âwhy should someone have you if they could have someone younger?â
âWhy would she go for you, if she could have someone with more money lolâ
âYouâre gonna die aloneâ
Even if a Man is right about ANYTHING still proceed to gaslight him. IDGAF. Lmao. They have been doing this to women for most of history. Gaslight him, make him feel unworthy and shitty. I genuinely donât give a shit.
Let me know what more I should add to the list, in the comments.
i think tumblr has actually gone insane
What, and I mean this genuinely, the fuck
'stopped measuring myself by conventional womyn standards' babes those were made up
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!
thankyouu
Sometimes I wonder what the world would be like if there was no patriarchy, no gender roles, no men.
I imagine I'd be more secure in myself. I would be less afraid to allow my body to exist as it naturally is. I could jump into a lake shirtless and never feel the real or imagined lingering eyes on my back. There would be no "man-peering-through-the-keyhole" psychological phenomenon women experience - the urge to always be palatable to the male gaze. I could feel completely comfortable cutting all my hair off in the summer so I could comfortably tend to my garden without sweat dripping from my hair. There would be no "does this hairstyle fit my face" bullshit that men interestingly never subject themselves to. I would walk home alone at night in the city and I wouldn't feel the urge to check behind me every minute. I could stretch my arms high in the air without the urge to immediately put them back down lest others see that I am human enough to grow body hair - to be human as a woman in this world is to be a beast - I could lay on the warm sands of a beach without the urge to cover my legs with a towel for the same reason. I wouldn't ever feel anxiety when making connections with other women because I would know with confidence they won't sell me out for a corn chip of validation from the patriarchy, because there wouldn't be one. Other women wouldn't look down on me for existing against the grain. And there wouldn't be the other kind of human to beat, rape or kill me for the same. Other women wouldn't be pushing their daughters, themselves, or me to conform to the identity of "decorative object to be oggled" because there would never have been anyone to start the demand.
I could rip my clothes off and grow my claws, my fangs. I could become the beast I'm meant to be. I could run to a hilltop with my sisters under a full moon and dance around a fire while we howl "This is freedom! This is freedom! This is freedom!" We could laugh heartily, loudly. We could feast decadently on all the delicious things we deny ourselves. We could take up all of the space we desire. We could love - truly love - one another and the Earth. Life would flourish.
I am deeply saddened that will never be the world.
there is not a single way for teenage girls to express themselves without being mocked and itâs absolutely infuriating
I think everyone severely underestimates how much iron women need compared to men. Lets put things in context first: beef contains about 1-3mg of iron per 100g/3.5oz, depending on the cut.
men and women are somewhat similar in iron demands up until 14 and then a huge change at 19 onwards. 19 year old+ men need around 8mg of iron a day. so like. a single large, or two small steaks. of course you get iron from things other than beef, and they'll likely get enough on any normal daily diet.
women need 18mg of iron a day and TWENTY SEVEN when pregnant. that's over TWICE the male requirement for your entire life and over three times when pregnant. THATS A LOT?? look at ur own diet for a minute and i promise you, unless ur going crazy on oats and chickpeas or something, you are NOT getting enough iron. probably not even close.
and I'm mind-blown by this because somehow, culturally, meat/red meat seems to be a more stereotypically masculine thing. when eating out, women get a salad and men get a burger or a steak. you google "person eating steak" and vast majority of results are men - when there are women, they've also got a cute little salad on the side, meanwhile men tend to have plates full of meat. (seriously. go google this. it's crazy)
WOMEN: YOU NEED TO EAT TWICE AS MUCH IRON-DENSE FOODS THAN UR BROTHER, UR DAD, UR HUSBAND ETC. MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH. NO WONDER YOU FEEL FUCKING TIRED AND WEAK ALL THE TIME.
By the way, for anyone wondering, chicken hearts contain about 9mg/100g and don't taste that bad. it just tastes like chicken. i know this sounds so gross but i pan fry around 500g, pop it in the fridge and eat them cold throughout the day, split it across 3-4 days (don't eat past 3 days refrigeration). i promise its not that bad. (they're SO cheap btw. by far cheapest meat on the market, let alone meat with high iron. i get those 500g batches for THREE DOLLARS meanwhile a 200g steak is $15+ and doesn't even cover the iron i need). chicken liver is also really good and cheap but i cant vouch for the taste.
Men control the courts as well.. Less than 1% of rape actually ends in a conviction. Pedophiles (those who physically harm a child and watch CSAM) are punished so lightly, itâs hardly considered a crime at all. And the amount of vitriol a woman faces when coming out with a claim of being raped, is a conscious act by men to keep women scared of talking.
Pornography is another help to men. Female pain has been eroticized, of course women naturally like to be brutalized- and the rough sex defence is created for them. The idea that women exist in a state of masochism is porn created, and serves to destroy the credibility of women who have been victimized.
The abuse faced in the court systems, by judges and lawyers to rape victims is a systematic attempt to demoralize women. The widespread notion of âfalse accusationsâ men have created that each woman makes, is their universally created defence.
The idea of one woman lying, destroys all womenâs credibility, but 100âs of men raping doesnât destroy a manâs. Even their ideology is inconsistent, when women speak of rape and sexual violence faced by men, âitâs not all menâ but when they slander women as liars, false accusers, promiscuous, whores, they donât once care about not generalizing.
This is how patriarchy is systematic, and all men are itâs foot soldiers. The regular men, who spread tales of women as manipulative liars plotting to ruin a manâs life, to the pornographer and male porn actor who sell the lie that the porn actress is enjoying her suffering, to the male court system that exists to protect menâs interests.
i just realised that âyouâre a bigotâ is just one of the new ways of calling women crazy for being aware of our global plight
and the way we use it to tone-police each other, itâs literally the same thing
20th century: oh you think female oppression is real and males are the oppressor? youâre a fucking insane crazy bitch go get a lobotomy and suck my dick
21st century: oh you think female oppression is real and males are the oppressor? youâre a fucking bigot white feminist terf bitch go kill yourself and suck my girlcock
as an 18 year old radfem Iâm so proud to see a girl your age so intelligent and introspective when it comes to feminism. you are going to go far in life my dear!
