Ask A Radfem

Hi. Neo here. I’ve decided to leave AARF for a multitude of reasons. For one, receiving nothing from the other mods in terms of contact and general lack of assistance running this blog. Also, this year is my GCSE year, and I’m running out of time to manage a blog as large as this. 

This does not mean that I no longer hold my views/values.

I am tired of seeing messages in the inbox either insulting my age (as if it affects my ability to think critically) or my tone. Hell, sometimes my autism or general mental health. I came to this blog hoping to answer genuine questions. Maybe I was misguided and naive, but since this blog’s mods have disappeared, I have felt so alone. I’m sure they have good reason but it does not change the fact that I am leaving.

Idk some people just don’t wanna learn lmao.

According to the trans cult yeah lol.

Because they are male I’m repeating myself far too often for you anons.

That’s a hard question, and the answer from me is: I don’t know. However, I do highly HIGHLY doubt that biology makes males more violent. Seems like such a cop-out.

Sure thing! It confuses lots of people, even native English-speakers because they are often used interchangeably.

Sex: whether someone is male, female, or has an intersex condition (i.e. if you have XX chromosomes, a vagina, a uterus, fallopian tubes, blah blah or if you have XY chromosomes, a penis, testicles, yada yada or [insert every variety of intersex condition here], etc.) 99% of the time, it is clear and it’s 100% unchangeable. 

Gender: what people often call “gender roles” (they mean the same thing). It’s what society imposes on you the second your sex is known. It’s arbitrary, varies across cultures, and has no basis in fact or biology, but it always subordinates women.

Basic examples:

“Boys like blue, girls like pink!”

“No Sally science is for boys, go play with you kitchen set.”

“Boys will be boys!”

“The wage gap is because women work less hours!”

The huge differences between men and women’s clothing (e.g. high heels vs flat brogues).

Well I’m neither from the U.S.A. nor old enough to vote, but I agree that Hillary isn’t the person to vote for. Bernie is my current fav to win.

Dysphoria is a condition that some people choose to treat with surgery and hormones so... trans people will exist as long as sex dysphoria exists.

Gender is imposed on you by society. We’ve never said that people choose gender. People can choose to transition/be pressured into it but that is not the same. Trans women are male and feminism is for females so no, they don’t belong.

No I completely agree! I hate the infighting as much as the next woman but centralizing stuff could prove difficult.

Sex and gender are not the same. While they are often consistent they are not identical.

We’re discussing facts not feelings here. Sorry that offends you.

What you asking? Because you’re sexualizing pedophilia and that’s gross and you should stop immediately. It isn’t made better by the fact that your ‘sub’ is a man.

Okay well first off you have to realize that gender is not something you can identify as or with; it is placed on you by society. My sex is female and society says that because I am female I must be placed in inferior caste of ‘woman’. I do not “identify” with gender (no one does). You can identify with stereotypes but that changes nothing. I thought it was chill in the beginning as well (saying you’re ‘cis’ so as to not other trans people or call yourself normal because it’s rude) but I grew out of it like every other radfem.

The constraints of language are pretty sucky and I suppose discourse will have to based around that. Or make words to describe it.
