Radical feminists are acting like a cult

fuckyeahgenderstudies:

(I for one wouldn’t complain if they chose to drink the Kool Aid…)

Please just

drink the Kool Aid…

Also, “Jeffreys makes it clear in many of her writings that post-modernism and queer theory are the enemy, and that piercing, tattooing, BDSM and role play are all pollutions of a feminism that is nothing to do with choice or preference, everything to do with commitment.”

considering I engage in like all of those things… I mean not to mention I don’t identify as a woman, so they already detest me.

Jesus this is some real bullshit.

I’m kinda surprised they replied to this privately but I suppose there are reasons for that….

but I mean

HOW CAN YOU EVEN BE ANY TYPE OF FEMINIST WITHOUT

KNOWING WHERE YOU STAND WITH

TRANS*

ISSUES

HOW

seems pretty obvious to me that they responded privately because they don’t want people to know that they don’t believe in equality for trans people!!! of course they worded it more ‘nicely’. thanks for posting!

also posting “no uterus no opinion” and then IMMEDIATELY saying that they DIDN’T imply that people without uteri don’t get opinions pretty much makes the case for them.

figuresss

Systematic misandry doesn’t really exist, but misandrists exist. Like this idiot!

Feminism is about equality and hating men isn’t very egalitarian. You can’t just relegate a movement with a heavy stake in gender equality to biofemales only. Kind of flies in the face of the whole equality thing…

“You’ll make up your mind!”“All women want kids! It’s in our nature.”
“You’ll eventually settle down and have kids, you’ve evolved to be this way.”“Feminism has ruined women, you’ve devalued motherhood and neglected your maternal duties. Raising kids is a beautiful thing, you’ll see.”
Just some statements that I’ve seen being said to women who speak about not wanting to have kids.

That awkward silence that settles into a conversation when you say you never want to have children (or get married. Or both in my case.)

mswyrr:

All of Dawn and Peggy’s scenes were so ouch and so good. Dawn just wanted to handle the situation herself, as she had been doing, but then Peggy is all “no, come on over to my place!” and there’s some bonding. A little bit of bonding. But throughout, from the very first moment, Peggy was dripping white privilege everywhere and then the moment with the purse oh god. No, Peggy. WUT. WUT ARE YOU DOING.

((facedesk))

I don’t think Peggy identifies as a feminist? But the way her motions toward a sort of solidarity were so incredibly painful and unhelpful and racist toward Dawn made me think of racism among Second Wave white feminists. And, TBH, the fact that engaging with white feminists continues to be a painful experience for women of color because sisterhood on terms defined by white privilege is no good at all. Not at all.

Peggy didn’t even hear what Dawn was saying about her concerns — with that line about “but you’re not a nurse!” it was just so obvious. And then it goes along from there. Dawn’s position in that office is so difficult I can’t even. A hand ostensibly extended in friendship becomes a slap in the face. UGH.

Kudos to Teyonah Parris and Elisabeth Moss for playing the hell out of these scenes.

This scene. This scene.

This week is International Anti-Street Harassment Week, because spring is here for many of us and so are the catcallers. Read Holly Kearl’s Feministing guest post on what the week is all about and how you can be involved. And be sure to check out the official website for Meet Us on the Street, especially the page that gives you downloadable logos, posters and flyers in a number of languages for your posting pleasure.

Street harassment and catcalling are not an acceptable part of life, nor should they be considered complimentary. They are disrespectful, shaming and controlling and there should be no permissive public forum being made for the sexist rhetoric embedded in the gendered public harassment received by women and members of the trans community with disheartening regularity.

I actually hate it when people say “I don’t see gender”

koryminx:

loveandasteadyhand:

Gender is an important part of how we perceive each other and how we interact with each other. While it’s true that one can not care about gender as part of selecting a romantic or sexual partner, I think claiming not to “see gender” in day-to-day interactions is erroneous and potentially dangerous.

Also when people say they don’t see race, or color.

This.

The “I don’t see race/colour/gender/what-have-you” thing really bothers me for one major reason: these are characteristics that some people base their identities upon, either majorly or minutely, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Maybe for you, it may not be the case, but the person next to you may really identify with being a woman and make that a big part of their life, for example. You are in no position to invalidate that by saying “I don’t see that.”

Three flaws with this logic:

1) Things like gender and race are social constructions, and we are brought up in society. This method of thinking infers that one is somehow beyond social control and influence, no matter how ingrained it as been in us since birth, and that is highly unlikely.

2) Why not just see things like gender and race and just treat everybody equally anyroad? Is it so hard to acknowledge these parts of people’s identities and still treat them like human beings without invalidating what could potentially be a huge part of them?

3) Saying that one does not see gender or race implies that they are not worth seeing, when in fact, they are very important things to sit and reflect on, and everyone reading this best do so for a very, very, very long time.

“ The thing about patriarchy is that individual men, gay and straight, are often really wonderful people who you love deeply, but they have internalized some really poisonous shit. So every once in a while they say or do something that really shakes you because you’re no longer totally certain they see you as a human being, and you feel totally disempowered to explain that to them.

And it can be so disconcerting and so destabilizing and just fuck things up so much. And then they don’t understand what the problem is. It’s just… ugh.

“ someone called me a dick!” “ohh man. i am so sorry you got called a piece of anatomy many have always seen and still see as the most desirable sign of power one can have, a thing that psychologists once thought females drove themselves mad over because they wanted to have one so badly, that is seen as the ultimate pleasure machine. i just got called a cunt, a disgustingly offensive term applied to a sex organ many find disgusting, a thing often seen as the absence of YOUR insult (dick). yeah..

You might be a feminist if you’re tired of the current Republican Party’s attempt to normalize misogyny.

“ If you are a white woman and you want to call yourself a feminist, you must acknowledge that your whiteness affords you a privilege that shields you from a lot. You must also acknowledge that you are afforded privileges that some men in this country do not have. Racism and sexism are tightly intertwined. You cannot fight one while ignoring the other.
