the concept that privilege on one axis can “cancel out” oppression on another axis is such a prevailing idea among this generation. it’s led to so much damage within social justice movements, and i think it directly contributed to the rise of identity politics, “oppression olympics,” and the obsession with listing every detail about your mental illnesses, race, and disabilities online. it’s a constant battle to prove that you’re oppressed, that you have the least amount of net privilege. it’s not factual, and it has no bearing in the real world. oppression and privilege on different axes can’t be added and subtracted from each other. they are different variables.
“If a movement declares that a man can define what it means to be a woman based on his feelings, but a woman cannot define being a woman based on her material reality, then it is a movement for the interests of men.”

the stars are telling you this, trust me.
It baffles me how radical feminists are considered conservative when the idea of female separatism is 10x more radical and far left than most of the beliefs held by left-wing parties. I will not listen to anyone who calls radical feminism a conservative ideology because it means they haven't done any research or reading.
We don't hate porn because we think women should be pure virgins who only commit to one man, we hate porn because it degrades women and is the product of sex trafficking, coercion, and propaganda.
We don't hate tight clothing and makeup because we think women should be covered from head to toe, we hate it because it restricts movement and makes day to day life uncomfortable for women.
We don't criticize the trans community because we think everyone should conform to gender roles and there should be no attempt to break the gender binary, we criticize the fact that transition is based on stereotypes, norms, roles, clothing, and other things women have fought for years to be free from.
Radical feminism does a better job at attacking actual oppressive structures and frameworks than most other leftist ideologies and I am done with ignorant people online comparing radical feminism to trad wife life or traditional conservatism. Especially when this criticism comes from losers who spend all day watching porn that promotes racism and classism.
ppl rly hate girls with eating disorders tbh. did anyone else notice this
white het boys are evolving at a rapid rate
Idea for a dating sim game where all the anime girls politely decline your advances and if you keep playing the game and try to “win them over” they get angrier and more distressed until finally you’re expelled from your magical high school for sexual harassment and your father says how disappointed he is in you for squandering such a great educational opportunity.
Let men start getting used to the idea that women are not NPCs that just react to your male desires. Let them see that there is no “overcoming” a woman that doesn’t want you. And let him see that there will be consequences.
Feminism was supposed to create empathy towards prostitutes to help them out of the situation, not to validate it.
Just a place to express myself, I'm trying to learn
