But men can totally distinguish between pornography and reality, amirite?

"...labiaplasty that cuts down a woman's labie to make it look more normal." Oh my god, this is literal porn rot we're seeing. Porn depicts women with no labia so men think that's how women are supposed to be. Men don't even know what female sex organs look like because of porn. These are heterosexual men who don't even know the anatomy of the sex organs they're supposed to be attracted to...

"...her LABIA seems massive, to the point where her LIPS can't even close around them."

I mean, I don't even really need to comment on this, do I?

Reasons not to get pregnant/have a child/raise children. From girlwiththelist1 on tiktok

Girlie I agree that some of the points are misogynistic but it was posted by a normie on tiktok, I didn't check to see that all the points line up with radical feminism, the main point was to make women aware of the risks of childbirth, largely the health risks, not the aesthetic ones. Unclench.

I never trust men who use “bitch” or “cunt” even jokingly tbh

We need to have more conversations on why b*tch and c*nt need to be taken seriously as slurs.

First of all how both but especially b*tch are synonyms for negative female stereotypes, like pettiness and weakness and used to demonize people who show behavior associated with negative female stereotypes (i.e. “stop being such a little b*tch”) not to mention how they’re used to subjugate the subject the insult is being used about by insinuating they’re weak and submissive by calling them a slur associated with women (i.e. “I’m going to make them my b*tch”) these slurs both have connotations of womanhood, enacting violence and subjugation against someone, and submission/weakness, all blended together into one word which perpetuates a culture of viewing and treating women as weak and submissive and enacting violence against women while justifying said violence.

And just like every other slur, it’s used to knock its marginalized target back into their place or justify violence against them. Every abusive man I know or every man I know who was a sexual predator used these slurs against his subject, repeatedly, often to justify his actions by dehumanizing his victim enough for his actions to feel justifiable (i.e. “well she was just being such a fucking b*tch!)

These are slurs used to police women and keep them in their place below men, to justify violence against women, to dehumanize women, and they’re closely tied in with violence, submission, subjugation, and negative female stereotypes, often stereotypes used to justify sexism and misogyny.

Sexist slurs make me feel a lot of pain and sting when they come from men,  because I have a history of sexist slurs being used against me to justify violence against me or being used while men were enacting physical or sexual violence against me, and it gives me a lot of rage how slow the uptake is to take these words seriously as slurs that are used to subjugate women.

I don’t trust men who use b*itch or c*nt, not even jokingly.

I will never understand why stripping is seen as degrading.

Like…the job description is literally “I am so hot that you could never get me in real life so you’re going to have to pay me to dance for you.”

????

The purpose of a strip club is to give men an environment in which they can see women as sex toys instead of human beings and not be punished for it.

I’m not saying it’s always bad for the individual strippers, and it certainly makes the guys look more pathetic and desperate than them, but it’s definitely bad for society’s view of women in general.

Former (for now, hopefully permanent) stripper here. I think a lot of people who don’t have first hand experience of stripping don’t understand that the job is about %10 actual dancing at most. There are some regional differences, club differences, I know girls get tipped more in places like Vegas or Atlanta but if you go just about anywhere else, you do NOT make your money dancing on stage. Stripping is not just being some hot and unattainable things gliding around a pole while awestruck men make it rain.

The majority of your money comes from private dances and from tips. If you are in the industry you know that the best way to ensure your income is to gather regular clients. There are two ways to do this: you can either give them sexual favors or you can play along with their fantasy that you are their girlfriend/will meet them outside the club. Both are objectifying and degrading, not fun. Not sexy.

Aside from having to deal with regular clients, stripping means swimming in a sea of misogynistic assholes. Some men get off on hurting women physically, some men get off on making women cry. You could be a 10/10 and you will still be subjected to abusive treatment by men. No matter how hot you are, there is always some man who feels entitled to list all the “flaws” he sees in your body to put you in your place. Stripping means existing every day in an atmosphere of violence and sexual aggression and having to constantly fend off men who repeatedly try to violate your boundaries.

As rude and entitled as the customers might be, they are nowhere near as bad as club owners/managers can be. Coerced sex is as ubiquitous as you’d expect it to be. Managers can force you to work back to back shifts until you drop or develop a coke habit (so you can buy from them), they can force you to give dances to men that smell like piss and they can retaliate against you if you piss off the wrong client by refusing to fuck. I’ve been called a cunt, a bitch, a whore, literally any insult you can think of - and I was Top Earner for almost a year straight. And I put up with it because I couldn’t afford to stand up for myself and lose my job.

And when i’m saying this, keep in mind I worked in the most expensive, “high-end” club in a major metropolitan city for years. I was one of the hot, “lucky” ones. This is the high end. On the low end you’ve got clubs that are actual no-bones-about-it-lube-in-the-goddamn-sanitizer-bottles brothels filled with trafficked women from Eastern Europe and Asia.

I’m sure some strippers are gonna say it’s not degrading yadda yadda, “I’m empowered!” But I’ve never met a stripper who hasn’t had some sort of emotional breakdown on a shift at least once, and that kind of says something.

The privileged sex worker tourists looking to gain some sort of dangerous mystique/male validation/”self-discovery”/whatever the fuck supplemental identity might never experience this, but who cares about them anyway, they are a joke to the rest of us.

tl; dr - take it from a stripper, it is degrading. What I wrote above is pretty stream of consciousness so i’m sorry if it seems unpolished. I just get scared and frustrated when I see things like this and wanted to get this out of my system so I could go take a bath and chill.

the thing is. if porn was just two people having sex and it happened to be filmed. it would in itself not be a problem.

but the issues already start in the private realm. did both parties consent? what happens if the two break up? what if one party doesnt want this video to exist anymore but the other party owns it? etc

but the real issues come with the publication and monetisation. as soon as there is profit to be made, there will be exploitation - in this case, sexual exploitation and trafficking.

how can you call yourself anti-capitalist but take no issue with the commodification of one of the most intimate and vulnerable experiences, sex? and the monster that is the porn industry?

the images in porn also dont “just” depict to people innocuously having sex. porn creates ideas, scenarios, roles, and more often than not: violence. porn grooms people into fetishes and harmful behavior. porn reflects, feeds and accelerates power imbalances and injustice: the categories and titles are violent, racist, pedophilic, incesteous, homophobic/lesbophobic and of course misogynistic.

porn gives men the idea that sex can and should happen everywhere, that random women are willing to fulfill male desires at any time. thats why its daily situations that are depicted and not just two people in their bedroom: school, work, home.

how can you say you love women, or even call yourself feminist, but accept, partake in and foster porn consumption?

access to porn is not a right and the internet allows everyone, kids and teens and adults, to be sucked into a world of hardcore porn, fetishes and sexual violence, when they just wanted to look up this thing “porn” that everybody talks about and everybody seems to watch. the normalisation of porn has been detrimental to sexual behaviour.

why is porn accessible online and free, making it close to impossible to ever get ownership over it again once its out there? marking people for the rest of their lives, and sometimes having them relive traumatic events over and over again?

ban porn now

I think one of the major components about becoming a radical feminist is realizing that it isn’t being a woman that affects your life, it’s being around men that notice you’re a woman.

Last night I was at the fair. It was chilly, crowded, I was with 3 other girls, and after we bought cotton candy we paused to watch the fireworks start. I was looking up at them, I had been having a wonderful night, I was right up against my best friend’s side, and then I felt a guy squeeze my ass.

The other day I was talking to my friend about a time I was restocking a hanging shelf in a tank top, as a 16 year old, and when I was stretched up on my toes trying to reach, a man nonchalantly slipped out his phone and pretended to be texting, only for the phone’s camera shutter noise to go off as he snapped a picture of my cleavage.

And apparently in three years I’ve learned nothing, because in both these incidents my first thought was “being a woman ruins everything.”

But it wasn’t my being anything that caused those to happen. I was acted upon. He did not involve me in the decision making process. I would’ve suggested against it. The fact that he was a man was what caused the groping, I simply ticked the boxes he wanted for a target. And me changing anything wouldn’t have changed the fact that he was a man, and he thought he had full rights to grope someone he wanted to grab. The only thing that could’ve completely prevented that was him thinking that would be a terrible thing to do, and not doing it. It was all him. Me changing anything wouldn’t have changed the fact that there was a criminal at the fair, it just meant I wouldn’t have been the victim. Men are the root of the problem.

This is why being in female-only spaces is so important. You don’t know how heavy this burden is until you’re allowed to put it down.

Was the Barbie movie radical? No. There was nothing “anti-man” about it, in fact it was incredibly kind to men. That, however, has not stopped them from pretending like it straight up unironically advocated for a male genocide. For example:

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I firmly believe that the absolute hysteria from so many men that has occurred since its release could make at least a few more women realize that male socialization is not a myth and feminism is absolutely necessary for our survival. Like.. A movie about a toy marketed toward little girls not catering 100% to men is enough to make them go full mask off and advocate for the 19th amendment to be repealed. That’s how insane they’re being about this. Their reaction to this movie is a great example of what feminists mean when we say that males are socialized to believe the world must cater to them and their interests alone, and nothing makes them more mad than when a woman tries to challenge that. I just really hope women are paying attention to this and digging deeper into why they’re behaving this way.

“you shouldn’t disrespect religion even if you don’t agree-“ or what lol

religion should stop disrespecting women first

This is such a perfect depiction of leftist men.

It's a french leftist magasine, it says "islamists, puritans, they want to cover up women this summer, are we going to let them?"

It's the usual private property vs public property debate among men. Should women be private property, hide their bodies in public and reveal it only to their husbands, or should they be public property and figure naked and headless on a magasine cover? The bottom line is always: women are our property. Right wing and religious men are very upfront about their misogyny, but leftist men always try to paint theirs as feminism. The truth is they don't care about women. When they defend abortion it's so that they can fuck more women, when they defend sexual freedom it's so that women comply to degrading acts, when they defend bodily autonomy it's so women make more porn. Look at them objectifying and ogling us while discussing how we should be allowed to dress. "Are we going to let them?" Women are absent from the conversation.

The most evil shit I have read !

Did this guy just compare watching your baby die to having blue balls?

This is why I as a straight woman could never get into a relationship. Your co-worker who held the door open for you thinks like this, the soft-spoken guy at the gym thinks like this. The cute waiter who smiled at you watches violent porn and your male friends make rape jokes when you're not around. And who knows if the guy you have a crush on has the same mindset as the man who made this post? Other men who think women should be grateful for not being raped every day, who think women are "merciless shrews" for not "taking pity" on men because they don't get sex on demand, are walking around in your classes and at work, interacting with you and other women, smiling to your face and making small talk. They're not all basement-dwellers, they're the average Joe.

killing screaming biting the beauty industry

genuinely cannot stand when something bad happens to a man and every other comment is like "but if this happened to a WOMAN..." yeah if this happened to a woman you wouldn't even give enough of a shit to leave a dumbass comment like this get over yourself

and for every bad thing that happens to a man, it's happened to countless women 10x worse anyway, without whiny men sticking up for them.

Like music to my ears

petition to treat the word “girl” as if it actually means “female child”. if a man says “look at that girl” say “where? i don’t see a kid”. if he talks about “picking up girls” or “hot girls” act horrified and say “you think kids are attractive?”.

The extent of men's disrespect towards women leaves me speechless and disgusted. Does he think that she enjoyed being dehumanized and repeatedly raped?? I'm glad she dumped him immediately.

the fact that he even thought about it during sex which he must have consciously for such a thing to even enter his mind means that hes turned on by that fantasy and like he admitted - would also pay to rape a woman if she was hot enough. its just his ego doesnt want to admit hes barely any different than the men who have raped and traumatized his now gf. death penalty immediately

When I worked as a cleaner in people's homes I was almost aIways called because the woman of the house had fallen sick or gotten a severe injury and the man refused to clean anything. I'd come in and immediately see women in wheelchairs or wearing a cast, severely disabled after surgery, something like that. All of them in severe pain, all of them feeling overwhelmed by all the unattended chores that their husbands refused to do. Some women just felt like it was normal for them to call another woman to clean up after their man, convinced that he just didn't know how to or shouldn't have to because he's a man. Others were just tired of living in the ever growing filth. It was always the women who welcomed me into the house, explained where things were and what I should do. A lot of the men were simply napping all the time, locking themselves in their bedrooms, chilling in front of the TV or by the pool. One tried to plug in the iron for me and shaked his head saying "I just don't know how this thing works, sorry". That man had been married for at least 20 years to this poor woman with a broken foot. So for 20 years he had a maid ironing all his clothes for free. 20 fucking years. Imagine that, sisters, for 20 years someone irons your clothes, or cooks for you, cleans up after you. Imagine. The amount of selfishness and egotism one would need to be like "yeah, this person acts like my servant and I totally take advantage of it". Is that love? The love heterosexuals keep going on about? The love women can't live without? As I left, he told me not to unplug the iron because his wife was going to try to iron while sitting down since she has a broken foot and the clothes are piling up. And I was like... why don't you do it yourself??? But I didn't say anything because I needed a job. It was the situation for 90% of the clients I had. And seeing this exact same pattern every day, seeing how these women lived with those men, because that's the kind of job that really allows you to see people's intimate lives you know? Well it really comforted me and my choice not to date men. I'd go home and absolutely relish my celibacy.

Men who refrain from misogynistic comments until a woman does something rude or immoral or mean are in fact regular old misogynists! Actually, a lot of the time those men’s passion arises primarily not from condemnation of her actions, but from EXCITEMENT at getting to express their misogyny in an “acceptable” format. Well guess what asshole, anyone with a brain can see through your bullshit, and I personally hate you.
