"I'm Pretty With Makeup"

"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.

right like im 99% sure anyone with 'sensory issues' when it comes to hair is just fucking lying.

do women that comment “but it’s itchy🥺i don’t like the feeling of prickly hair😔” under anti-shaving posts and videos realise that the itchiness and prickliness is a result of shaving? if you don’t shave the hair is soft, you don’t feel it at all. have they forgotten what it feels like to be unshaven? have they ever experienced it?

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.

It is worrying how easy it is for society to hate women and how difficult it is for them to hate men.

A man can be a proven criminal, have accusations of sexual abuse or harassment, a man can act like an idiot on national television, and still society will find a way to excuse him, they will find a way to defend him, to say that he didn't know what he was doing, that it's not that big of a deal, that it's a lie. Society will not hesitate to defend a man even when there is evidence that he is a disgusting human being.

But for society the mere existence of a woman is reason enough to hate her. A woman can exist and society will find any small detail to destroy her, A woman can become successful and they will find a way to say she doesn't deserve it, a woman can be hated for her body, her way of dressing, her job, her ideas, her partner, and society will not find a reason to defend her or they will decide to ignore this reasons.

No matter what a woman does, society will always find something to hate her about, they can spread lies and rumors in order to ruin her career, while with a man it is not like that, with a man there can be clear and real evidence that he is a disgusting human being and they will still love him.

All this is absolutely ridiculous and hypocritical, why is it so easy for them to hate a woman but so difficult to hate a man?

Funny how words change. I was thinking about the phrase "gentleman's club," and what I'd IMAGINE that would mean (based on the definition of "gentleman") is a place for well-bred, intelligent, likely educated, civilized men to talk, drink and smoke cigars with other men of the same mindset. I picture Mr. Darcy sitting there with Mr. Bingley. Instead, it's come to mean "The lowest, dumbest, most perverted dirt bags you can imagine throwing filthy dollar bills at women who they're paying to take their clothes off." The men who visit these places are the furthest thing from gentlemen.

The funny thing is, if there were a "Lady's Club" it would probably still resemble exactly what we'd imagine: well-dressed, elegant women having a beautiful luncheon with their female friends, behaving totally appropriately. The most they might do that was "out of character" for ladies (supposedly) is laugh uproariously after a few glasses of wine.

Since I'm on the subject, Tea Rooms (which were very popular in America in the 1910's-20's and were generally owned by women) were very close to what I described as a Lady's Club, and I'd love to see them brought back. Getting dressed up to go to a fancy tea with a lot of female friends sounds like so much fun!

calling men who are immature and treat women like trash "boys" just takes blame off of what they're really doing. they're still accountable, they're fully grown men who need to take responsibility for their actions

Thinking back on my childhood when I thought racism was over, Nazis no longer existed, cops were good, and America was the land of the free.

”i’m just a girl.”

No, actually, you’re an adult woman who’s intelligent, capable, powerful and has a fully functioning brain that is way too old to be likening itsself to a child. Grow the fuck up. You make mistakes because you’re human and not an innocent child.
