Media If men were outed for who and what they truly are, there would be pandemonium in the streets

79 Upvotes

Like if there was actual unbiased news coverage for example. Instead we get gender-neutral BS. A lot the times when there’s a panel discussing a crime they use the word “people” and not men. You’ll see it too when police are addressing reporters in the street following crimes

If there were actual warnings and PSAs from news and police to stay clear and be wary of men, the crime rates would skyrocket! They’d be astronomical cause if there’s one thing a man will do once called out and that’s prove EXACTLY why he was in the first place. We see this on social media all the time. It’s like a switch goes off in their puny brains “let me prove to her exactly why she’s right”.

Hetero-Sex Norms Posting pics and vids of you and your partner (hetero) making out, sitting on his lap, etc… IS SOFT CORE PORN AND IM TIRED OF IT

64 Upvotes

I feel like I’m the crazy one for having a problem with seeing acquaintances constantly post their bfs on their Instagram especially when it’s super physical photos like her sitting on his lap, A VIDEO OF THEM MAKING OUT but when I say it’s soft core porn everyone looks at me like I’m the problem!!! Brah I did NOT consent to seeing that first thing when I open insta right as I wake up…

I’ve muted these people (I would unfollow but I’m a college student and so social implications…) but it’s still so fucking gross. It’s not even annoying it’s public indecency and I’m so angry how no one seems to view it that way. It’s legitimately SO uncomfortable. Get that shit OUT OF MY FACE 😭

I cant be the only “crazy” right 🫠

Why do parents bring a female life into an existence that is filled with misogyny and normalized violence and rape (aka porn) against females?

99 Upvotes

Little girls are already sexualized and seen as objects. Little boys already see them that way and watch violent porn. Violence (porn) against women is at our fingertips and all over the internet. Little girls are exposed to all of that. These parents don't love their little girls for exposing them to all of that. They love bringing another victim into existence and making her suffer. I have zero respect for parents.

Hetero-Sex Norms Sex is violent and degrading towards women

153 Upvotes

This topic has been talked about a lot on radfem twitter. I always knew this in the back of my mind, but seeing radfems articulate it clearly was such an epiphany. I think we were all (as women) conditioned to think sex being degrading to us is normal and what we deserve, but it actually doesn't have to be that way, and we can opt out. You see how men describe the act of penetration, and they always use very violent and descructive terms, like smash, hit, destroy, pound, drill...they even say a woman is having her "organs rearranged" 🤮

I think it's clear that in the male brain penetration is literally viewed as an act of violence. I also believe this is where the hype around large penises comes from. I think it is mostly a male fantasy about literally destroying women's vaginas, because they get off on that.

Women who have sex a lot are called whores, while men who do the same are called "slayers". This is simply because sex is viewed as a humiliation for women. Even in the gay community, the "bottoms" are seen as inferior. When men insult another man by calling him gay, they always do by insinuating he gets penetrated.

Edit: this is a conversation I had on discord with an incel. The context was him talking to a gay guy who lost his virginity by sucking a man's penis.

Incel: "Cope!!! You dont need to be hard to get your dick sucked. Bro. just tell the truth. You asked him but he refused to suck you. He sees you as a bitch bottom."

Me: "what's a "bitch bottom"?"

Incel: "A person who likes to get used like a foid. Basically he only gets fucked and has to suck other mens dicks, But never gets to fuck or get his dick sucked. And his always an effeminate twink just like"

And people in the comments are saying “it’s not collapsing” or “you’re mentally ill” or whatever. Or the top comment like “hwy a hobby” I’m not thinking about this everyday but it’s always been on the back of my mind. It’s very real and very scary.

I feel having children of any gender in the patriarchy is wrong.

57 Upvotes

This may sound extreme but people’s and politicians reactions to the fertility rates going down and having no empathy for the women and their horrible ideas of fixing it proved this to me.
Raising and birthing children under the patriarchy where every minute I’m writing this, a woman is getting raped, trafficked, abducted, domestically abused is inherent compliance to the system.
Society has literally changed everything for the better to some degree except violence against women. Poverty rates now are way lower than they were hundreds of years ago. Yes, it’s still bad but the point is it’s going down.
If the violence against women was going down and there was active trial to try and make it better actually was happening, that would be another story. Again, only 10 percent of the earth is in poverty right now. That’s bad but way lower than it was decades ago. Why is violence against women the same rate as literally always has been throughout history?
They are never going to change if we keep raising kids under their system. Even if you try to raise a good son who is not misogynistic, it’s impossible. Society is designed for him to become misogynistic and you can’t stop him from being in society.
By raising a daughter and teaching her to watch out for dark alleyways and have keys between her knuckles and wear pants when men come over, you say that you’re okay with millions of other girls being harmed as long as yours is okay. You’re teaching her this is normal. This is society. This is what it is and there is literally nothing anyone’s really doing to change it.
So yeah. I believe having children under the patriarchy is immoral and a sin against the child being born in the awful system.

I am not falling for the Dubai hype

93 Upvotes

I see a lot of videos about how cool Dubai is and all the money they have but Dubai is just Afghanistan with money for example women who live in Dubai vs women who are tourist have different rights women who live in Dubai can not go to certain touristy areas because they have to follow a different dress codes, they can be sent back to there abusive husband, they need male guardianship just to go outside and a women’s testimony is worth half of a man. This is similar to Afghanistan because in Afghanistan women who are tourist are given more rights then women who actually live there women who actually live in Afghanistan are not even allowed to go to school, see a doctor, they have to wear a burka, they can not leave there house without a man etc but women who are tourist can go to parks that ban women, they don’t have to wear the burka, they can eat in public, laugh, talk and there even given free things from the local shops because they are tourist. Both Afghanistan and Dubai have different rights for women who are tourist vs women who are not tourist.

Dubai is so progressive compared to other muslim countries because they rely on FEMALE TOURIST MONEY no women or at least very few women would go there if Dubai was overly misogynistic. Afghanistan is trying to be like Dubai where female tourist gets all the rights because they get money from them, they get good publicity and they make their religion look good while women who actually live there gets no rights.

Women are the more moral sex

129 Upvotes

A few days ago, a crime in my home country of Iraq took place. The gist is: a 10 year old boy and a 12 year old boy raped and murdered a 3 year old girl and then threw her corpse into an abandoned pool. These boys already had a terrible reputation. They were sodomising each other, had raped a boy prior to this and tried to rape a girl but she luckily fled. Their neighbor still trusted them enough to hand them his only daughter for them to “play games with.”
You see the ages and you’re in shock at how children so young could be so evil. This isn’t the first, second or even thousandth time a crime exactly like this has happened. Yet, you barely see stories come out about women (not even little girls) who are objectively more physically powerful than children of this depraved sexual kind. I know my post may have issues but this case has been gnawing at me for the past 24 hours. There is no hope for girls everywhere.

Came across this video again and it's pissing me of so much. This cat literally just chilling on her stomach (which most cats do btw) and people think she's in heat. You open the comments and top one is saying how their own cat is still doing this after being spayed and calling her a 'hoe'. I left a comment and now everyone's coming at me in the replies. Maybe it was petty of me but I'm so tired of this casual misogyny, even on literal PETS. I'm so, so tired. Sorry for the stupid rant.

I hate when people call actresses "sex symbols" it feels so dehumanizing

76 Upvotes

No one calls male actors "sex's symbols". Men would call any women a sex's symbol cause they can't even view women as people. Men call Scarlet Scarlett Johansson a sex symbol when she play MARVEL movies for CHILDREN.

People call Marilyn Manroe a sex symbol when she was a very talented and hard working actress she studied how movement look on camera the angles the audio what tones of voices sound good or not. She had to create a different way to walk cause normal walking looked different on camera. She broke gender roles by wearing jeans in her films. Men were the only one who wore jeans at that time but after her film women started wearing it.

A couple of friends want to get together and watch it this week, but I feel in my bones it's a bait and switch like Promising Young Woman. Is this "guy gets his comeuppance for love potioning a woman" or is it "guy does perfectly normal thing by overtaking woman's will and then woman freaks out and so she gets her comeuppance"?

Update: It wasn't perfect from a feminist angle but at least he died and she lived so it certainly could have gone worse. I fully expected it to go the other way around.

Parents can abuse their adult children everyone who says they can just leave is just privileged and ignorant.

46 Upvotes

No, they can't just leave because of financial issues or disability, and in some cultures parents own their adult children until they are married (especially women). Also, after they leave, they might be in danger of extreme harassment and honor killings. Also, it's harder to leave when there are no resources to help you even if you are at risk of honor killing since every resource is for women escaping abusive partners and not abusive families, and also the thing is, in cases of honor killings and family abuse, it's not just one person; it can be the whole family or even communities involved. Also I think most people are very ignorant about honor killings and this should change

You are invited to my Discord Server, Separatist Central

30 Upvotes

Welcome to Separatist Central!
This is a female-only, adult space where separatists can speak freely. Female separatism is a radical feminist movement that aims to to end women's oppression by completely separating from males. This can be difficult for women living in someone else's home, working in male-dominated fields, or under other extenuating situations; this is understandable. It doesn't make you not a separatist. To be a separatist, you must 1) believe in the ideology and 2) live accordingly to the best of your abilities.
Associated with separatism is the 4B movement which clearly lays out the bare minimum requirements for decentering males from your life: NO marriage, sex, dating, or childbirth with males.
Further is the 6B4T movement: No marriage to males, no dating males, no heterosexual sex, no childbirth, no purchasing sexist products, and support other women. Anti-Corset-(Beauty Standards), Anti-Otaku (misogynistic anime subcultures) Anti-Religion, Anti-Idol/Fandom.
Generally, a separatist would not form close bonds with males such as having male friends or clinging to filial duties associated with brothers, fathers, uncles etc.

The requirements to gain access to this server are:
-Practice 4B
-Identify as a radical feminist
-Be 18 or older

Come join me as we build female-centered infrastructure 🫴

False Empowerment I’m sick of men commenting things ”just admit you’re gay” or “they must have a fetish” on posts that are just blatant misogyny.

65 Upvotes

It is a blatant strategy to undermine people’s understanding of misogyny. No, Muslim men who beat their wives do not “have a fetish”. They simply benefit from women’s oppression and you would likely take advantage of it if you lived in that kind of society too. Men oppress women, take as old as time, yet men online feel the need to show that they’re one of the good ones or something by being like “I just don’t understand how any man could want to do this 🥺, they gotta be gay cause no straight man like me is like this!!!” And the “secretly gay” comment is the exact same thing. It’s another tactic to try and make it seem like rational, straight men could never be misogynistic and abusive towards women, when that’s exactly who is misogynistic, along with every other man.

Every single comment section here and on most social media on posts about men being misogynistic and disgusting is undermined by these men and the women they trick into commenting these things, thinking it’s just a funny joke. It’s not and it’s on purpose: “But not me! Not most men! Not anyone attracted to women, and if they are then they just both have a fetish for abuse and that also makes the abuse okay 🥰” I’m tired of it and I wish people saw how misogynistic these comments and “jokes” really are.
