unfortunately im an annoying 13 year old feminist in 2025
why do so many ppl my age want to reinvent gender roles so bad. this is what happens when you weren’t an annoying 13 year old feminist in the early 2010s who had people explaining to u that you should be an egalitarian instead bc feminists are man haters i guess.
cant remember who said this originally (not on tumblr) but i 100% believe the reason memes die out so much quicker now is because more womyn are involved in the culture.
the 'womyn arent funny' stereotype is so ingrained in mens head they dont like womyn enjoying internet jokes!
So have y'all just missed every single post where an intersex person tells you not to refer to intersex animals as "biologically nonbinary" or do y'all just not care what intersex people have to say. Genuine question
I hope you don't mind, I'd like to recommend you some authors for your journey as a young Feminist.
Audre Lorde and bell hooks are two of the most prominent Black, Visionary, Feminists to have ever written. They are foundational staples in Visionary Feminism.
Lorde's short speeches "The Master's Tools Will Never Dismantle The Master's House" and "There Is No Hierarchy Of Oppressions" are staples of Feminist literature and if you have access to your local library they can be found in The Selected Works of Audre Lorde, curated by Roxane Gay. "Sister Outsider" is also a staple book of hers.
I specifically recommend "Feminism is for Everybody" by hooks as well as looking into some of the many talks she was a part of before she passed that are all uploaded on YouTube.
Judith Butler is a highly academic read, but very easy to listen to if you look up interviews with them. If you're interested in higher academia Feminist thought, "Gender Trouble" is a great place to start and "Who's Afraid of Gender" really gets into current events and modern politics.
Leslie Feinberg is also a staple lesbian author. You can find a free PDF copy of "Stone Butch Blues" on Feinberg's website - lesliefeinberg.net.
I also recommend Kimberlé Crenshaw, Mikki Kendall, and María Lugones. Crenshaw is a key voice regarding Critical Race Theory and she has many speeches and talks that you can find on YouTube. Mikki Kendall is the author of "Hood Feminism" - which is a staple on my own shelf. Lugones was an Argentine feminist philosopher and similar to Butler, she was deeply academic. Her work is in dialogue with another Peruvian humanist thinker, Aníbal Quijano, regarding colonialism and power.
Most of those books should be available at your local library and almost of these thinkers have talks and speeches freely available on YouTube as well. I truly wish you well in your growth as a young Feminist voice.
i really appreciate this!! ill definitely look into these the next time i go to the library :)
Gen Z thinking they're so progressive while their gender politics is literally "whoever wears the dress and does the dishes is the woman/femme" kills me
OP is a self-admitted TERF, smashing that subscribe button per usual
the greatest minds of our generation are posting on r/meth if anyone cares
praying your prong collar gets cut from the terf pole before they're all lowered into the pot of boiling oil. would hate to see a child get caught up in that mess
i sure wonder what type of person sent this!
also same for anything saying u have to be polite to scary or creepy men or else you're putting yourself in danger. WRONG. men like that see a 'polite' woman as an easy target. being rude to or ignoring a guy you think might be dangerous tells him u aren't going along with it and he will 99% of the time give up. in contrast giving in to a small request or being 'nice' makes it much harder for u to leave the situation or say no later, google the foot in the door phenomenon
shout out to confident conventionally unattractive womyn. literally never let a mans lack of attraction to you define your worth. ugly men are allowed to be confident and not shamed for it, and so are we!
You can only talk about misogyny on this site in passive language without getting backlash. It’s fine to say that it’s bad when women are oppressed, but saying it’s bad when men oppress women will ignite cries of “not all men!” It’s defanged feminism. It’s removing the actor in the situation, removing the oppressor class from the oppression.
But the patriarchy isn’t a force of nature, inflicting suffering without any real perpetrator. It isn’t an act of god. It’s an act of men.
