Many Would Argue You Can't Be Religious And A Radical Feminist 🫶

Nobody really talks about how lonely it can be as a radfem, especially how alienated you feel from other women. The continuous betrayal and ridicule you’ll experience from the same people who agree with surface-level feminist analyses is so disheartening.

You’re eager to criticize poor male behavior yet you also vehemently deny real-world oppression that we all suffer from? Acknowledging the wage gap and sexual violence statistics is all fun and games but deconstructing anything beyond that is somehow taking things too far? Do you not see the irony in condemning things like the cosmetic industry while degrading other women who choose not to shave?

I want to know at what point they think the oppression of women starts and stops. Do you genuinely believe that thousands of years of misogyny simply disappears overnight? Is it truly the case that your father, your brother, your boyfriend have miraculously been deprogrammed and it’s all other men that are the problem?

Everyone wants to shit on men until it comes time to reconcile with the fact that the majority of them actively and intentionally contribute to maintaining a patriarchal society. Then it just gets too real

"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.

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.

As a Pregnant Woman married to a Biracial Man & raising Daughters in America I never felt more safe ♥︎♥︎♥︎♥︎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

pissed me OFF bad like omg how fucking stupid you can be talking about being an ally for an industry which is plagued with child exploitation and human trafficking? an industry where women are getting paid to get raped, an industry which exploits women and children sure fucking sure liberal feminism has done irreversible damage oh my goodness

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.

I'm making flyers to give out and posters to put up around my community. I'm trying to create a community of woymn to educate, and so that other womyn in my area will have other womyns support. After that, I'd like to expand outside my area, and grow.

Here's a draft of the flyer design.

Any advice on the design or how to organise this community is greatly appreciated!

Yo, correct me if I am wrong please, but didn't Hitler rise to power because he promised to fix the German economy and people really liked that so they looked past everything else he was doing??? Like exactly what's happening in America right now???

So many people said they voted for Trump, put a truly evil person in power, because he said he'd fix the economy, and a little voice in my head is going, "Isn't that what happened with fucking Hitler??"

But I've seen no one point that out so maybe I'm miss remembering???????

Sex is why women are opressed

Gender is how
