brown feminist

Gifset text reads:

“The current pornography industry really is rooted in the 60s. Initially, pornography was seen to be a vehicle of liberation simply because it violated laws and the laws were associated with the repressive adult generation and anything they tried to stop us from doing we did and pornography was part of that.

The notion was that what would emerge would be this free loving and again equal kind of sexuality. Women in the counter-culture were incredibly idealistic. I think women really for the first time began to see men as equals and the problem was that men did not reciprocate.

The pornography industry grew and grew and grew, these people got rich, they made a lot of money and suddenly they weren’t so anti-capitalist anymore. Most of the guys [pornographers] you can trace their histories back to the 60s.

They were in some way or another part of the 60s counterculture scene. What they [pornographers] did was to take the sexual freedom that we had been fighting for and they turned it into a profit making, product oriented, woman hating industry.

At some point we began to notice and it was the kind of disappointment  that either forces you to cave in or forces you to rebel. A lot of women did cave in but a lot of women rebelled and those who rebelled became feminists.”

Also I have definitely seen people talking about this and saying how no one should call out drag because it’s ~gay history as if that absolves it of being misogynistic and terrible.

It’s not intracommunity if it’s harming people outside the community.

On top of that it has posts by men (and a few women) about how women who don’t accept men as women should be killed, burned, shot, stabbed; they need to get cancer, they need to be hit by a car, their family should die, and more.

Almost all of the people making posts in this tag are men. Men making posts about how ugly, undesirable, and disgusting feminists are. Men making violent posts about wanting to kill feminists, encouraging others to kill feminists.

Unsurprisingly, a lot of people on Tumblr support these men. They join in on this hate with these men. They track down young girls URLs to compile them into lists for these men.

There are tons of new posts in this tag every single day, and all of them are similar. If you can stomach it, see for yourself.

How many ways are there to say: “We just don’t know?”

On June 30, 2015, PBS Frontline aired a story about “transgender kids.” The program presented a more balanced view than the usual pro-transition media coverage, with doctors actually admitting that there is much that remains unknown about dosing kids with hormones and performing surgery at younger and younger ages.

Frontline posted a companion article about pediatric transition on their website. In this post, I will excerpt from the PBS piece, along with several other sources, highlighting quotes from well-known gender specialists.

There’s a lot of redundancy in what I’m about to share, and that’s the point. It turns out that the top dogs of pediatric transition agree: we just don’t know whether puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, “social” transition, and the other “treatments” being foisted on our “gender nonconforming” youth can be justified—because we don’t have the evidence.

Some phrases you’ll see:

There is no objective test

We still don’t know

Someone will figure it out

There are so many unanswered questions

Hopefully there will be research to begin to answer these questions

Unknown consequences

What’s lacking are specific studies

Risk is unknown

We don’t know the long-term effects

We’re in unknown territory

There is no medical consensus

Performing femininity isn’t subversive when it’s what’s expected of you.

Being submissive isn’t subversive when it’s what’s expected of you.

Being sexually accommodating isn’t subversive when it’s what’s expected of you.

I’m not shaming the females who do these things, we all understand why you do them but don’t call it feminism. You may chose to do these things, but society sees you doing what you’re supposed to do; regardless your motives you’re doing what patriarchy has groomed you to do.

According to my endocrinologist (and another source), it’s actually more common in middle aged women. My primary care never tested me because I was so young. They found out when they did a motherload of tests when I had mono.

Sorry about that. Thank you for pointing it out.

“What does your child do?” “Working part time and attending school”. “Well mine harasses minors on the Internet!! My little coward❤️”

Take your own advice, you’re the only one here that has growing up to do. No sensible adult attacks a minor. Come on. No one should have to fucking explain that to you, creep.

This is what radical feminists have been saying, and the reason everyone tells us to shut up. Sex is separate from gender. You are born with sex; whether it be female, male, or intersex. Gender is socially-contructed masculinity and femininity. Recognising the reality of sex is important.

If I had to define one peak trans moment, it would probably be the co-opting of the trans/radfem split by ‘cis’ men. Suddenly, left-wing men had a perfect way to get around the whole 'don’t call women a bitch/cunt’ thing. Don’t like a feminist journalist, but know that your libfem friends might not want to hang out with you if you call her an old man-hating cunt? Just call her a terf! Have an argument with a 15 year old girl online? Dredge up her tweets for one from two years ago where she said 'penis ew’ and label her a terf! Want to get headpats from the right sort of feminists? Write an article about how, although you’re a man, you’re going to criticise feminism in this one instance because you just can’t get your head around the nasty terfs! I don’t necessarily think terf is a slur in that as a word/acronym itself it’s offensive - but I think, certainly at this stage, it’s simply become the equivalent of starring out a swearword. Can’t get 'bitch’ through the filter? Stick terf in instead and that’s fine!
