Ladies, I am curious about choice versus population control. Any thoughts?

Are terfs going full eugenics now? Because population control is bullshit designed to kill poor and marginalized people

So it was just me asking, I’m sure many radfems agree with some of what you said, I was just trying to get some comments from, y'know, radfems. But what I was thinking about specifically is the impending economical disaster that is going to topple the world soon, and the fact that the mormons around me are each having 7 kids who grow up and vote for trump. My thoughts lie with pro-choice, and so to me it looks like the best thing to do is to educate women and un-demonize the birth control medication so even religious or scared women would feel safe to use it. I wanted discussion on a topic I’m curious about but go off ig

“Terf” is the new “witch, bitch, cunt”. It’s just to shut women down. This is a very interesting topic and I fully agree with you! I’m also pro-choice, but to have less abortions (cus it’s one of the most traumatic thing a woman can go through) women in the US needs to learn about contraceptives. They need proper sex ed! And the whole country needs to loose the stigma of “if ur on the pill - ur a whore”. I started on the pill when I was 13-14 because I wanted to have a regular menatruation AND it just so happens that my pills worked agains acne, so yeah.. What people (mostly men) don’t understand is that abortion is not just some “yeah.. let’s go do that right now without any thought! Let’s just do it! Yay! Abortion!! Woo!!”. That’s bullshit! This is something that NEVER goes away. My friend had an abortion when she was 13 (and they even used a condom, it didn’t break but apparently some sperm managed to find her eggs) I was with her when she got the news. She’s 28 years old now. I think about that every year. ME, who didn’t have it. I can just imagine what she does! It’s SUCH a traumatic thing and I feel like the narrative is that “women are selfish and kill babies” and that’s just so incredibly insensitive and straight up gruesome! The lack of real knowledge/the concealing of real knowledge is staggering! I don’t live in the US, but I’ve always noticed how the talk is always about abortion - why not proper sex Ed? They need the correct information about going on the pill, what kinda pill works for you, their side effects (that’s not long lasting - at least in mine and all my friends’ cases). If they had good information about all of that, abortion rates would go down. And why are NO ONE holding men accountable for not using a condom?? Is that the women’s responsibility as well?? Don’t men have any responsibility? Wouldn’t be a surprise..

I just had to rant a little hehe

I really appreciate your thoughts!!

UNC rape survivor Delaney Robinson comes forward with brave statement

Delaney Robinson, a sophomore at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill alleged Tuesday that a football player at the school raped her in February and that UNC has done nothing about it. In a powerful personal statement she explained how “she did everything a rape victim is supposed to do.”

im starting 2 believe men really think sex crimes against women arent that bad bc to them thats what we’re meant for so it cant be that traumatizing

men literally don’t think women are the same human beings on the inside as they are. that’s what “emasculation” and “being penetrated would make me feel like a woman” and sissy fetishes are all about.

Finally, a sane celebrity who doesn’t bend the knee to feminist bullshit.

My god I love her.

I know people are gonna get salty af about this but by God she’s RIGHT.

When Brad Pitt did Fight Club, he was cutting weight for every single scene to maintain his physique at 155. I’ve you’ve ever cut weight, you know how horrible that must have been. He did it because they needed a “look”.

Changing Tatum said his Magic Mike body doesn’t last for more than five days. He starved down and dehydrated his already fit physique for a “look”.

The male soldiers on Spartacus: Blood and Sand were eating pretty much chicken and veggies for every meal to maintain a “look”.

Why is this such a big deal? Because all these characters are considered physical goals for men. These are actual unobtainable physical standards for men. Male body image issues get swept under the rug so often that some people don’t even think they exist.

You want proof? Just check out that scene in Captain America: First Avenger where Cap just transformed into that beautiful beefcake of a man. Agent Carter’s actress just HAD to touch them muscles, it was completely unscripted.

Chris Evans had to wear shirts so small they physically hurt, and he dislocated a shoulder during the helicopter scene in Civil War. But who cares, girls got to wet their panties watching Captain America flex.

If we are talking about unrealistic physical standards of male fitness given to us by movies, I would like to mention Hugh “Wolverine” Jackman here.

Yeah, he is ripped, isn’t he?

Well, it is true, but to get that kind of definition, he went through 36 hour period of dehydration, which caused him to temporarily lose 10 pounds of “water weight”. 

Thus during the fight scene he was filming, he was a hair breadth from blacking out whole time, just to look unrealistically muscular.

As he said during interview with Steven Colbert, “If You go three days without water, You will die. Then, when You are halfway there they shout ‘Roll it!”

It’s the same with professional bodybuilders who get into periods of extreme fasting and dehydration to lower their fat-to-muscle ratio to inhuman levels, all in hopes of making their muscle definition a bit better.

According to experts, healthy body fat percentage for a healthy male ranges from 8% to 20%, depending on height, lifestyle and numerous other variables. 

Fitness model and professional bodybuilder Helmut Strebl also known as “World’s Most Shredded Man” as he supposedly managed to get his body fat percentage below 5%…

… But only when he partakes in competitions, since it is not humanly possible to live with such low fat percentage of one’s body for longer periods of time.

I mean, yeah, he keeps a draconian training regime, as well as a very strict diet even off-season, but looks much more human then…

There are documented cases of incredibly fit and muscular bodybuilders fainting on the stage in the middle of their flexing routines, as well as several who outright died, because of cardiac arrest caused by their blood becoming too thick, due to long dehydration…

And let’s not forget about Muscle Dysmorphia, colloquially known as “Megarexia” or “Bigarexia”.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_dysmorphia

Yeah, it’s a thing, but it’s barely talked about, since it’s apparently not manly to admit to having problems like that, which also creates problems with researching this particular disorder…

So… Thanks Hollywood?

I keep forgetting about the role that dehydration plays in muscle definition. :(

This is a male power fantasy

Feminists have talked about sexual objectification for decades and you say the same stupid shit in response

As if women do not have to starve themselves for role after role.

It has been shown over and over again that big buff over ripped men are NOT what the vast majority of women find attractive. It’s other men. As celty said, its a male power fantasy. It’s other men that idealize the jacked strongman body.

@the-critical-feminist Game of Thrones has many unnecessary rape scenes and feminists have criticised this but we get the same anti feminist bullshit

Women can criticise media

I genuinely don’t know one woman who is attracted to those kinds of muscles ^ it’s literally other men telling men they need to be buff to “get girls” lmao.

Yeah a toned body is nice but I have neevvverrr come across a woman who wants their man to look like fucking wolverine, besides other women body builders.

Meanwhile men will compare their girlfriends to porn stars, wanting a woman who eats yet maintains a flat stomach, has nice shaped perky natural boobs and a nice ass.

Yeah very few women find balls of muscle men attractive, women are not creating the demand for men to look that way, its other men! Stop blaming feminists for the problems men create! NO ONE should have to sacrifice their health for a made up ideal body type, but lets not pretend thats what women demand and that the standard for actresses to strave for any role is the same as the standard for men to get lead roles.

they really think men don’t own the film industry

That last point being the most relevant - who is in control here? (Men) Who is this for? (There is an argument! But I’d say, male power fantasy, so - men) Who suffers for this? (Also men). This is terrible practice and likely to fuel misunderstandings of what human bodies look like, but it’s not equivalent to the treatment of women on film.

Also a profound lack of understanding of the word ‘objectification’. It does not mean forced into unhealthy body standards. It means viewed & treated as an object.

A woman’s ideal body will get her mocked and have sexualised jokes pointed at her, along with harassment and sexual ‘flattery’. This kind of muscular male body? Is regarded as tough, strong, powerful, admirable. It’s also an extension of function - muscular power taken to an extreme! Rather than an extension of aesthetic - appeal to men taken to an extreme. Not the same!

Thats a male issue. Yall should like do something bout it.

Men stubbing their toe on the system they created and blaming women. Again.

Also, sure maybe men are having unrealistic body standards pushed on them, but that’s not objectification. Please buy a dictionary and pull your head out of your ass

women fantasize about anything that men fantasize women to fantasize about 🙄 men trip on power fantasies so of course women must love big sweaty muscles cuz males can’t stand the thought that women have a mind of their own and aren’t as dirty and shallow as men are literally tweens are out there fainting over skinny dudes from one direction and y’all dumb fucking asses with your fake ass equivalent fallacies about men having to sweat blood so they can get ripped and make women’s panties wet as if the majority women really were attracted to balloons

Funny how gender equality, much like anti-feminism, entails not only around debunking/disreputing women rights, but also women voicing their concerns and caring about themselves and other women.

ellen: so i heard you hate all men

me: omg ellen you didn’t

Songsheet of ‘The March of the Women’, 1911. Artist: Margaret Morris. “The March of the Women” is a song composed by Ethel Smyth in 1910, to words by Cicely Hamilton. It became the official anthem of the Women’s Social and Political Union and more widely the anthem of the women’s suffrage movement throughout the United Kingdom and elsewhere.
