in barbieland, where everything was perfect for women, men were safe. they didn't suffer, they took full part in society, they just weren't the "main characters". but when Barbieland was captured by men, women were instantly in danger. they began to be held for service and objectified.
the authors conveyed the essence very well and clearly, which not everyone understood
Reminder that saying no is not being a bitch, it's having the human right of choice. Being against males on female spaces is not being a bigot, it's being against misogyny. Wearing comfortable clothes and liking your natural body is not letting yourself go, it's being free from society's impossible beauty standards set on women.
Keep standing up for yourself.
someone hasnt heard any pro choice arguments huh😨get ur head out ur ass
I hate porn and love abortions ❤
it feels like everyone i speak to has some internalized misogyny
once you start noticing how casually misogyny is incorporated into society theres literally NO going back. look at our insults! theres so many words to degrade womyn just existing the same as men.
bitch, slut, whore, cunt are just used to insult us for being confident/sexually active.
even passive terms like crazy cat lady and calling confident young girls 'bossy' ARE contributing to this!
the first step to unlearning internalized misogyny is learning to stop using terms like these.
oh thats great! but your daughters wont feel very safe when they go to school and a man with a gun enters the building! your daughters wont feel very safe when rapists continue to go mostly unpunished and roam the streets freely! your daughters wont feel safe when men are able to beat their girlfriends and wives and get away with it! your daughters wont feel safe when they risk not getting a job or losing their job just because they're women! +++more. but you seem to be in a happy privileged position, so that excludes hundreds more that would impact daughters and sons born in lower-class families.
bitch is a slur cunt is a slur and I think men should face the same level of scrutiny for saying those words as any other slur
"I'm pretty with makeup"
"I'm pretty without makeup"
Radical feminism: "It doesn't matter if you're pretty at all. You don't exist to be pretty."
"Female body hair is okay"
"Female body hair is not okay"
Radical Feminism: "Female body hair simply exists and is completely neutral. Talking about whether its 'okay' doesn't even make sense."
"Presenting THIS way makes you a man"
"Presenting THIS way makes you a woman"
Radical feminism: "Nothing about the way you present makes you a man or woman. Gender isn't real."
I love that radical feminism just removes you from so many binaries of thought. It makes them completely nonsensical. Why would I analyze whether I'm pretty when it doesn't matter either way? Why is the acceptability of my body hair even a subject of discussion? It merely exists, just like the bark on a tree. Does society sit around and debate whether a tree ought to be able to keep its bark?
I've come to realize that I've been handed a ton of "either/or" choices about who I am all my life and told to make a decision on each one. And they were all illusions! I just exist. I never had to justify the way I am or even formulate an opinion on it.
when women’s oppression gets brought up, i can’t stop admiring men’s unwillingness to admit that their “suffering” isn’t caused by women.
“men die at wars😞😠” and guess who’s sending them to wars! and guess who made it so that historically only men can go into the army!
“we aren’t allowed to express our emotions😢” or what? you won’t fit the standard of a strong heroic man? who made that standard?
“women are gold diggers😒why must i pay for you at the restaurant?🤨” who set up the system in which women had no income and were dependant on their husband?
bro. i’ll tell you why your hand is hurting and bruised. that’s because you keep punching women in the face.
sick of ppl calling themselves feminists and then being highly uneducated. just halfassing it. i wish to be that peaceful and ignorant but unfortunately im not dense like that :/
or worse they say feminism is for everyone and not just for women
We need a feminist movement that encourages women to get their carry permit. Like I mean it. So many men thinks it’s okay to say weird things to women and girls, we need to start carrying a gun. Something to scare men.
I hate organised religion and I'm tired of pretending that I don't.
