the worst thing about males pretending to be females is not the biological inaccuracy. like we’ve got flat earthers and it’s like, sure they’re a little stupid and so obviously wrong, but they don’t bother me and are easily shrugged off, because they’re a small percentage and don’t really hurt anyone. if that were the case for males feeling entitled to womanhood, i’d shrug it off.
however, males pretending to be female are appropiating thousands of years of oppression on females, claiming the trauma we have persisted as their own and acting like they have suffered it rather than caused. invalidating everything we experience daily to validate their own feelings.
women endure so much by the hands of men. the insult of them now wanting to take our womanhood from us by letting men in it, ”becoming” women as if we were nothing but a costume instead of real human beings with thoughts and feelings (same old, same old), without facing the oppression but asking for the validation that they do, is despicable.
again, it is not the biological inaccuracy of it that is worse, it’s the complete dismissal on their part of what it truly means and has meant throughout history to be female, of the trauma, oppression, objectification, sexul abuse, guilt, shame, and constant, repeated dismissal of our thoughts and feelings from people who look exactly like them. it is all just history repeating itself, but with an insult larger than ever: that they are women, like us, and even though they are the ones oppressing us, and they are not denying the oppression (as males often have done and do), but claiming it as their own. what we have faced by them, they have faced, but worse. males have always wanted to play the victim, but now they are literally pretending to be us and victims on our side. its insulting and is way worse than a 21th century human thinking the earth is flat, because it dismisses females, which isnt new, but on a whole new level.
Idgaf anymore if someone calls me a TERF, I actually INCLUDE trans men (TIFs) in my feminism because they face the same biological-based oppression because they’re female. So I’m not a “TERF” I’m a TWERF. If you have a penis, show yourself out, you are not welcome.
“gender isn’t the same as sex, but if you mention my sex, you’re misgendering me.”
“trans means your gender doesn’t match your sex assigned at birth but actually I AM the other sex because I said so.”
what??? which is it!!! you can’t have it both ways!!!
“being gay is great, i am so so gay, when will cis gays learn its not ok to be attracted to the same sex”
“You don’t have to fuck trans people even if your stigmatised sexuality is fundamentally against it but if you don’t you’re a bigot who should be socially ostracised, also we are CRUCIAL to the survival of the LGBT community!!!”
I find it so depressing to know that as soon as men invent or gain access to a new communication technology, they immediately use it to increase tenfold their production and consumption of porn. In the book I’m reading about feminism and technology, the author spends a while explaining how revolutionary the telephone has been for women, allowing them to escape the isolation & confinement of their nuclear households and increasing their access to the outside world and to other women (friends, relatives) in a way that was harder for men to supervise (which is of course why the industry men who developed it spent decades loudly condemning women’s use of the telephone for “trivial gossip”.)
But then she has to concede that this new technology, like most others, also affected women negatively because men immediately started using it for porn (& to harm women, since that is the main purpose of porn). “The diffusion of the telephone facilitated the intrusion of pornography into the home, not only through intrusive and abusive telephone calls made by men to women, but also through the development of sexual services over the phone.” The same thing happened with the internet of course, but before the internet there was also the French Minitel service, which was a kind of small TV screen linked to your telephone that allowed for proto-emailing and instant messaging—and a study by the French government found that the Minitel “vastly contributed to the propagation of hardcore pornography”, notably the sale and purchase of paedophilic content.
I saw a post once where a feminist said she almost wished the Internet had never been invented, because of the explosion in porn it facilitated, and I understand the sentiment, but it’s not limited to the internet, it’s a recurring and pretty much inevitable phenomenon, since porn seems to be men’s primordial interest. It happened with the printing press, with the daguerreotype, the invention of movies of course, now virtual reality… Dworkin called pornography the propaganda tool of woman-hatred, so of course it makes sense that every new information & communication technology men develop always translates to them as better access to ever-increasing amounts of porn.
Does anyone else remember the story about that poor lesbian who came out to her mother and her mother cried and said “it’s all that damn Keira Knightley’s fault, I knew I shouldn’t have let you watch pride and prejudice as a child” because I’m really feeling that now
Yes

I use to be obsessed with Bend it like Beckham and she’s legit the only reason….
some of the most annoying videos on the internet are of dads finding out that they’re having a son (whether at a gender reveal/scan or at the birth) especially after having lots of girls, and freaking out with excitement and joy (not a bad thing in and of itself but if they have girls they’re always like “oh”)
honestly they can fuck off. if you want a child that likes football and playing catch and who likes cars just play with your fucking daughters and get them involved in your intetests you prick
sick to death of seeing these videos honestly it’s just depressing ESPECIALLY when they have daughters already because you know they’re just going to be emotionally neglected now in favour of the boy for the next 18 year’s or until one of the girls gets a boyfriend or pregnant herself then he’ll suddenly “step in”
the “hilarious” reaction to the 5th daughter is not, as you might think, hilarious
like I’m calling it like I see it: mothers are just happy to have a healthy child, and there are dads that aren’t as happy to have a daughter as they would be to have a son.. can we not pretend like this doesn’t exist
Do you all really have nothing better to do that bitch about how men naturally want to have an heir? Shit ive seen women talk about how much they want a son too, it doesnt mean they hate their daughters.
an heir? to their deteriorating y chromosome? lmaooo
