Calling Men Who Are Immature And Treat Women Like Trash "boys" Just Takes Blame Off Of What They're Really

Of course you feel disconnected from your gender it’s quite literally a made up set of rules based on stereotypes

btw trump giving medals to mothers who have 6+ kids is exactly what hitler did

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

I cannot believe what I am about to say, but radical feminism is healing me.

I’ve been suffering from an eating disorder (an0rex1a) nearly all my life, my first worries about weight started when I was 9 years old and slightly chubby (and people made sure to point out that was bad).

More than a year ago, I reached my weight goal of 45kg at 175cm (99 lbs at 5’9"), and I thought I had made it. Finally, I became undeniably skinny, skinnier than most, the smallest I could be without dying, and therefore worthy.

Spending my days faintly, mostly sleeping, unable to work, study, or read, I thought that made me better. That my endless suffering meant I was worthy of true love, admiration, and all the better things in life.

Looking back, I am sad for my past self. For the first time in my life, I am making an effort to gain weight, to gain my life, my capacity, my abilities. I gained 7kg (15 pounds) in a year, but most of it came after reading (and taking it in—which took months) radical feminism theory, and now, being in this community.

Now, eating breakfast worth of calories of my full day back then, I feel freer. I am genuinely stopping equating my worth to my suffering, not just pretending I do in front of therapists and psychiatrists—but from within.

I cannot stress it enough. I had never been this free in my life, and throughout the endless years of treatment, I was sure I was never going to heal; some therapists even declined to work with me, for I was deemed a desperate case.

Therapy has flaws, as it focuses on the individual, on our own actions, while radical feminism points out the wider problem—systemic oppression.

The problem was never me.

i dream of having a radfem bestie so bad

hate how women being gnc is just her being normal and natural and human like not shaving hair, no makeup etc. but when a man is “gnc” he actually chooses to conform to another societal standard (wearing makeup, painting nails, etc)

men saying "happy womens day" is the most shallow shit ever because that's all they'll ever do to acknowledge that we're even human

International women's day is coming up soon....and I'm so fucking angry about it.

It's a farce of a day.

Men take the day to post photos of their wives/sisters/mothers/daughters before going straight back to watching videos of trafficked women and girls being raped online (pornhub).

Before going back to toxic chat groups and sharing their most normalised and vile thoughts on women with one another, or asking for tips on how to sedate and rape them (telegram).

Before going back to their jobs where women are usually paid less than them for the same work, and talking about how difficult and bossy 'Karen' is for having the backbone to set her own boundaries and not laugh at their unfunny jokes.

Unless you're posting a receipt of money you've donated to a women's organisation, I don't want to fucking hear it.

I don't want to see your pictures of your exhausted wife who does all the house work after coming home from her job, I don't want to see photos of your daughter that you're already talking over and down to in comparison to your sons.

Hold your gross fucking friends accountable for the vitriol they spread or sit down and shut up.

the next 4 years will be dark for americans. to all of those who are in a dark place right now, please remember that if you give up, if you let go, and if you stop being who you truly are, you'll only be giving conservatives what they want. please remember to take a break and do something you enjoy to take your mind off of things, surround yourself with people who love and protect you; and if you don't have anyone like that, always love and protect yourself.

you don't need to always be up-to-date on the political state of the country and how things are going, especially not if it effects you mentally. you're allowed to disconnect, you're allowed to put your head in the sand and block it out, because you need to stay strong.

or, maybe staying up to date helps you stay strong. maybe it motivates and encourages you to push through and hope for a better future. you are more capable than you think.

remember: don't snitch, take things easy when you need to, use your resources, and put yourself first. if you ever need to talk, mine and many others' messages are open.
