Radical Feminists Do Interact - Blog Posts

I love being in a women-only fighting class but kinda miss being able to kick men when I was in a mixed one :(

Just a heads up: this is not true.

While homosexuals and gender non conforming people were persecuted by nazis, the reason Hirschfeld's institute was shut down was that he was Jewish and promoted the idea that homosexuality was not an illness, which was considered "jewish science".

It is important to remember the many victims of the Holocaust and nazism but it is also important to not bend history in order to fit a narrative.

And I'll say it again: homosexuals and gender non conforming people went through horrible things and it's important to share actual sources on that instead.

oh cool! 'girl math' is trending, I'm sure it's a celebration of the wonderful mathematical discoveries made by wom.. oh

oh wait

ok no nevermind

If school is catered towards women tell me why my parents had to fight with every PE teacher because I wanted to play the "boys sports" instead of doing boring ass pilates in elementary school

I get so pissed when people say this. The education system was literally created by and for men. Women weren’t allowed to get an education for hundreds of years. Women are still not allowed to get an education in certain countries. Every time women are better at men than something they blame it on “the system.”

and when you're equally cold they hit you with the: "oh my god don't be a bitch"

I think karma kinda exists because one time I was talking to a classmate about menstrual leave and he was against it because "muh just take medication your period isn't an excuse" and some time later we were taking the same exam and he complained about not passing it because he had an headache so I told him "womp womp take an aspirin" <3

when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

when I'm the only woman taking an exam I know I have to do well for the feminists in my phone

"thanks to men for raping this other woman instead of me 🤩🤩"

why is this such a common opinion?

why is "men will be unable to not rape unless they can buy access to a woman's body" something people just say without realising how insane that sounds

One of the lowest points of the leftist/feminist cultural landscape in my country, posting because I'm still mad:

So-called feminist author (a woman) runs one of the most important independent book fairs in Italy.

Last year's edition was dedicated to a young woman who was killed by her former boyfriend.

Also last year, this author (a man) was invited while being accused of domestic violence by his former girlfriend - this was widely known at the time of the invite.

Before being found guilty, he revokes his participation from the fair. Some time later (days or few weeks, I think), the matter is taken to court, they find him guilty.

Condemned to 4 years (because domestic violence is a joke for courts).

The woman organising the fair goes to the press and says "it's a shame that he revoked his participation, I will still hold the event and I'll talk about his book instead of him"

Some days later she apologies, the apology is along the lines of "we hurt your feelings, we're sorry, we're going to replace his event with a panel on feminism".

She's considered one of the most prominent feminist intellectuals at the moment in Italy.

He was considered an ally and constantly praised by other so-called feminist women in intellectual spheres.

what r ur opinions on youth liberation?

hoping I understood the question as it is quite general

I think the nuclear (and hetero-patriarchal) family model is fundamentally limiting for all people involved, especially women and youth - meaning children and adolescents (especially girls, once again).

The power that parents have over their children is deeply detrimental to their freedom and development. Violence against children is still used as an educational method, a widely accepted one, and lots of parents still consider their kids as property or, in the best case scenario, an extension of themselves. Getting out of abusive households is practically impossible, especially when economic means are lacking (and these are often the most critical situations).

In the past, I have advocated for practical measures (many of which were actually adopted in my hometown) in order to help young people gain autonomy and freedom, one of these was keeping high schools open during the afternoon (which isn't common in my country) with both organized and self-managed activities (tutoring, study rooms, psychological counsel, book exchange) in order to give kids in difficult situations a safe place for a few hours and also seek the counsel of people who could help them.

I was raised in an extremely liberal manner, my parents always treated me with respect and they managed to make me understand my responsibilities throughout life by talking to me in an age appropriate manner but never asserting their authority as adults, just as more experienced people. I'm really grateful but I realize that it's unrealistic to expect that all parents raise their kids well (despite it being their responsibility), which is why I talked about nuclear family in the beginning, I believe that true freedom can only be achieved by community.

nonna didn't have time because she was shooting fascists <3

honestly my study motivation is being able to maximise the number of men I can be condescending to

(jokes aside, I love explaining things to people who are interested - strangely, it's almost always women)

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart

like ok we can all solve differential equations but can you do that while being a decent person? mm yeah didn't think so

finally bought "right-wing women" by Dworkin so expect commentary in the next few days 🤩

German anti-prostitution-sticker reading "Johns (as in clients of prostitutes) aren't comrades, Pimps deserve to be shot"

In Italy, it's really common for clubs (like discos) to do free entry for women, which is clearly a marketing tactic to get more disgusting males to buy a ticket because they're going to find girls there.

Is this common in other countries as well? Do young people talk about it? Here it's a huge MRA argument for "women's privilege" 🙄

It follows Delia, a woman stuck in an abusive marriage, during the days of the first italian general elections in which women were allowed to vote, just after the liberation from fascism, while american troops were still patrolling italian streets.

It's fun and delicate while tackling important issues, and it's one of the few strongly feminist movies that managed to appeal to the general public in a country in which femicide is still a prominent issue which our government refuses to talk about.

It was Cortellesi's directional debut (she's also a co-writer and plays the main character), which is wonderful on its own but even more so as it was the most successful film at the Italian box office in 2023.

Please please please support women directors, especially those who are not american and struggle to get to an international public.

Paola Cortellesi and Emanuela Fanelli in "There's still tomorrow"/"C'è ancora domani" (2023)

I'm begging all feminists to watch this movie if you haven't, it was huge in Italy and deserves more international recognition

Stop forgetting that being a woman is not a monolithic ensemble of patriarchal stereotypes.

So disheartening that in 2025 we still have to remind people, young people, that women are people.

"I'm not a woman, I'm just a person"

Women are people, being a woman is being a person, we are not an alien or some kind of strange invention. Women are people, being a woman is being a person.

Introduction

20-something socialist woman, this blog is a sharing space for thoughts and opinions because I miss being politically active (which is on hold for personal reasons - mainly getting a degree)

I'll talk mainly about feminist theory and anything related, my positions are radical - I'd love to interact with people who share (not necessarily) similar views.

Also some occasional posts on music, art and the likes, everything fiercely nonconformist.

You can call me M :)

Hi radfem tumbrl

Hello! im new on tumbrl (not really) Im going to be direct, im here to read and express myself about radical feminism. I always were a feminist but sometimes I feel a little alone about that and and never really expressed it because of my shyness. Thats why I made this space. to talk about radfem and meet radfems like me. Dont be shy to add me!

things to add about me: nothing really surprising, i am a nerd who loves random shit but in special: art books, anime, drawing and diverses ways to make art in general, feminism (duh), animals, cute things, natural spaces, biology, humand and above all female anatomy, languages and linguistic. Im a minor but i will no longer be one in a few months (yeah im kinda in crisis about that).

aaand something important to add. I am not a native english speaker, Im hispanic actually, so the way I write can be weird/very reduced so keep that in mind. XOXO.

someone argued with me once that TIMs are 'the biggest threat to western women' right now and... no. males in general are. and regular masculine straight men are using TIMs as scapegoats to make themselves look innocent but in reality every type of man has been raping and murdering every type of woman since the beginning of civilisation. yes this is a unique situation because TIMs are able to invade women's spaces but any male can become a TIM which is why the whole thing should be gatekept if the trans community doesn't want sexual predators affiliated with them. self-id needs to stop right now.

many women, even radfems, give gender conforming males the pass to be sexist and abusive and only call out tims for being misogynistic perverts

your movement will not go anywhere if you solely focus on the minority of effeminate males but refuse to talk about and fight against the average males that regularly hurt women and girls. if tims just vanished, we'd still have all the depraved, rotten, subhuman males that have also invaded women's spaces. this isn't a trans issue, it's a male issue

95% of women in prostitution want to leave, but can't because they don't have things such as financial means, healthcare, housing, treatment for addiction, or job training.

this is not a 'choice', and it is not 'empowering'.

there is no consent when a woman is fearing for her life.

The Myth of the White-Only Radfem

What is up with these anti-radfem/TERF people acting like only white women are radfems/TERFs? Because last time I checked, most of the radfems I’ve met are women of colour and such. I mean, there is a huge radfem movement in South America, and parts of Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe. It’s seemingly only in the West where feminism is more liberal.

So why is it that they are making up such lies??

Nobody can impose physical criteria because they are with women from birth. The only thing that patriarchy imposed was the concept of "gender"

Long hair, dresses, skirts, makeup do not make a woman a woman

A dog can't be a cat unless it was born a cat. Even if a dog starts meowing, it will still remain a dog

If a trans woman hasn’t undergone surgery, how can she be considered a real woman?

The validity of a woman’s identity is not tied to her physical appearance or medical procedures.

Societal pressures that tell women their worth is determined by how closely they adhere to gendered expectations. A trans woman is a woman whether or not she chooses to undergo surgery. Her identity is rooted in her self-determination, not in fulfilling a set of physical criteria imposed by patriarchal norms.

How are trans people supposedly 1% or less of the population, and yet "everyone" knows someone who's trans at the same time?

For me it’s about having the freedom to touch my own skin.

I stopped regularly using makeup earlier this year, it wasn’t really a conscious decision, just the way things turned out. Anyway after I’d been makeup-free for a couple of months I ended up wearing some makeup for an event, and it wasn’t even a lot of makeup compared to what I’d worn previously. But almost immediately I became so conscious of my face, I didn’t want to rub my eye for fear of smearing my eye makeup, or to eat too quickly for fear of ruining my lipstick.

I only wore the makeup for a few hours, and it was honestly so mentally draining having to constantly monitor myself.

So anyway, I’m hoping to keep up my makeup free journey into 2025! Wish me luck!

Reblog this and add a reason you dont wear make up

I’ll start 😊
