Afternoon Silence, 1900, Wilhelm Kotarbinski
Idk what to do after collage
I really have no idea lol It's hard to get a good, stable job in my country
suffragettes became fascists because this is what spending too much time with feminists does to you
women have this ugly tendency of purity checking each other when it comes to everything, this is why feminism fails
it doesn't include all women, just a chosen elitist group which gets smaller and smaller
radical feminism should stop demanding from women to stop having sex, stop being mothers, stop eating meat those are ALL normal things that alot of women do
do you know what is not natural? being submissive to men, being dependant on them in every conversation and not respecting your own body and your own dignity and freedom as a woman
populist right wins because it allows majority groups to still have their freedom, for feminism to win it has to center ALL women aka biological females, lesbian, straight and bi, old and young and likewise let them have their freedom
you can have your core radfem beliefs but by excluding actual women (not men in dresses) you're shooting yourself in the foot and your movement fails, not to mention there already are hypocritical radfems who say one thing do another which is laughable
choose few core principles and let everything else by up to the individual women, they'll be grateful for that
GC narrative is already taken over by the populist right as we speak because they're sneaky and smart about it
having same/similar interests to those that predatory men have sucks
we should absolutely reclaim anime icons
why do you call yourself cisgender?
kinda out of necessity as there are people who think I'm a man if I don't "prove it" somehow
I mean, I had to deal with people who lied about themselves as well and whenever I look at someone's profile I have to analyse everything to make sure. I thought no trans person would likely use "cis" to describe themselves.
but there are people who legit accuse me of being a guy maybe because of the way I talk or whatever because yes, I have some very masculine interests and personality traits
I totally understand disliking the term but for me there are words that piss me off more and I don't really consider it a slur. Tbh I'd much rather ask why some lesbians call themselves "dyke" or "queer", those words disgust me more.
reject femininity and embrace femaleness
It's crazy how people don't see me as a human being everytime they find out I'm gay. Not everyone but for example almost every therapist I had, looked down at me for it or laughed at me or criticised my looks (because apparently it's weird that a lesbian woman presents feminine).
I don't like Foucault but medical gaze is real. Male gaze is bullshit but medical gaze is an actual thing.
Signs of unhealthy masculinity in women:
- hating your natural female traits (breasts, hips)
- hating your voice or height
- irrational fear of being percieved as feminine by other people
- obsessing with gender roles (especially in relationships, metaattraction - being attracted to someone only because this person will affirm your masculinity)
- fear of being vulnerable, being uncomfortable with receiving sexual pleasure from your partner (in fear it will "feminise you", it comes from unhealthy views about womanhood and sexuality)
Signs of healthy masculinity in women:
- wanting to be fit and taking care of your body
- embracing all natural traits of your female body and respecting them
- having strenght that doesn't fear vulnerability with a trusted person (it takes strenght to be vulnerable)
- wisdom to recognise negative/sexist thought patterns
- having sexual boundries but not being afraid of having someone pleasure you because you know you deserve it and it's not degrading
- dressing however you want, make-up/no make-up doesn't matter, just wearing what you think makes you look good
- not caring about gender roles much (doesn't matter if sth you do will be seen as "feminine" or "masculine" by society, do what you want)
- having discipline and determination, facing your fears, focusing on self improvement
- being kind to yourself
