major cw: comments under videos of women being murdered

also:

I wouldn't go so far as to say that is the case now in North America at the least (sort of, its complicated) but its still fundamentally current day very concerning when you look at the emotional/sexual/physical labour expected of women, and the immediate grooming upon birth that women's value comes from being attached to a man, be married and have babies

and be met with heavy ostracism and contempt should she deviate...I mean i've seen dudes genuinely make the case for killing unmarried women above the age of 30. I think back to that one cop that hit that girl in her late 20's with his car and said something of the effect of her being old so it doesn't matter

(I cannot look at media and toys for little girls anymore. Something about giving a little girl a pretend baby to take care of is creepy to me.)

I think the introduction of no-fault divorce and allowing women to seek divorce in general was the first great step that really allowed women to demand equality within marriage (to some degree) and took us out of the real risk of slavery. also women being allowed paid work, their own property etc meant they had independence outside their husband.

all this seems like basic stuff but tbh it’s really the thing that freed many women from slavery to their husbands. people don’t really grasp that. they hear “empowerment” and “independence” and think it’s just about having fun or being free to “choose” to be a housewife or not. though really, this was a sort of women’s abolishment of slavery. women who remain housewives are still free from slavery. they aren’t property legally, they have bank accounts and can get a job if things go badly. they are not living the same reality as our grandmothers even if they pretend they do.

side note; this is all liberal feminism stuff btw. “libfem” gets a real bad name here, and i don’t even like to call them such because it really insults the work and benefits actual liberal feminism provided women. liberal feminism is essentially just any legal change, compared to cultural change. culturally, women are still not equal, we are still beaten by husbands and can’t leave due to social or economic circumstance. but legally, women were previously enslaved, and now they are not. that is still massive. this change is still needed in countless countries globally. that should be the next step for liberal feminism - but alas, the “choice feminists” or “empowerment feminists” we label “libfems” make a fucking mockery of liberal feminism’s true nature.

You stand on the shoulders of a century of hard-won progress that you now take for granted.

Ok so. Imagine from the day that you’re born, every major religion on this planet decided that your body was the home of Sin. That your flesh makes men fall from literal heaven. Even if you’re not religious, this theme of your body being dirty and sinful permeates your culture.

Imagine if you grew up knowing that your sexual partners will be stronger and taller than you. Imagine growing up knowing that the sex you are attracted to commits 99% of all rapes and sexual assaults. Imagine growing up knowing that sex makes you dirty, and that if you are raped and assaulted by someone bigger than you, you won’t be believed.

Imagine having sexual body parts that are never allowed to be shown on screen. Imagine the only women whose body parts you do see on screen are being abused or murdered in some way. Your body parts are dirty and disgusting, like pieces of rotten meat.

Imagine knowing that sex can lead to a lifelong commitment to a child, possibly to multiple children. Imagine knowing that men may not use what protections they have to prevent pregnancy because it doesn’t feel as good. Imagines the protections you have can cause you to gain weight and drop your libido.

Males have controlled and abused us for their own evolutionary gains for thousands and thousands of years. Think of how many fcked up genes females been forced to carry on? There is no disputing that, it is fact, you can see it in everyday life, in the way women are treated and spoken about.

The male being a “parenting figure” is not how humans originally evolved. “Fatherhood” was invented by males in order to control females and their offspring more efficiently. Very little mammals co-parent, and ever fewer with just a male, and in none of these mammals do we see the same severity of control imposed by humans males towards human females.

However it doesn’t have to be that way, we as females can turn the tables for our own survival and evolution, but first we have to admit and see the control males hold over us, and find the fight and will to destroy that hold.

The oppression of women would never have been so successful and easy for centuries and centuries if we weren’t inferior, we are. Do we have to remain this way? No, but there’s no point acting like we weren’t/aren’t. Evolutionary/biologically, we are the weaker sex, disagree with me all you like but history proves it. Do I like that fact? Of course not, but I’m not going to sit and pretend the oppression of women just randomly started “just because”.

It’s because of this failure to accept our current position in society alongside males, that many women live in a pretend state of believing they are currently equal to males, when in every single part of life and society this is just not true. Males know we are still under their control. Even when a woman is president, she is under patriarchal male control in all her actions and more often than not, her appearance also.

Do you want to remain the inferior sex? Do you want to remain under the control of males for the rest of humanity?

A high school senior who twists a tiny freshman's arm behind their back and takes their lunch money is the "superior person" according to this "might = superiority" worldview; when really it just makes them a bully who happens to be larger than the person they're bullying.

People and the sexes do not become inferior or superior overall based on who is stronger and who is controlling them.

Yes, if you could push me around like that I would be considered inferior. Why are you getting so offended by definitions? Channel the anger you have for the situation towards the situation, not me. Evolutionary speaking, we are currently, and have been below males in rank. Males control us, in every aspect of society. If you don’t accept that fact how can you even begin to devise a plan to change the present?

Yeah inferior is obviously used in bigoted context and I just can't agree. women HAVE been selected to be smaller and weaker but that's in terms of physical strength only. If you're calling us inferior for the way males have enslaved us..... That's male inferiority, not indictive of a woman's worth.

Women are mostly superior mentally ethically morally spiritually and even physically we have superior endurance.

So yes we as women ARE inferior to males evolutionary as they control us.

You are making it out that I’m saying women are worthless, when I have done no such thing. Your interpretation is incredibly surface level, you see a word, put your own interpretation on it, and run with it.

In the grand scale, us women who see and find the truth are few and far between. “We were conditioned”, the very fact that males were able to get so much control over us the first place, proves that nature has given them superiority over us. However we as women have the power to change the course nature took, the problem is majority of women aren’t strong enough mentally to even want to end patriarchy. Call me harsh all you want but it’s true, many women profit off of their and other women’s oppression, and are perfectly happy doing so.

You are putting words in my mouth based on your own interpretation of the word “inferior” and you are viewing the conversation wrong, you are viewing it in terms of ethics, I’m not talking about ethics. It is not women’s fault for how we were born and the way males treat us, it’s nature that’s to blame there. If you look around, in most species nature is a females greatest enemy.

However if you can’t accept that we are currently weaker than males physically then that’s just failure to take basic facts into account.

We as women are lower in rank than males, they control us in almost every way, even when it doesn’t appear like it. This would not be the case if we weren’t the weaker sex. Yes males control us physically, but they also control almost all of us mentally.

Why are you getting offended at me pointing out the truth that we currently, as women overall, do not possess enough power, physical or mental, to be even equal to males in terms of evolutionary superiority. If we were, patriarchy wouldn’t exist.

What do you think draws radfems apart from majority of women? We have risen above male control, we are fighting to end males superiority over us, we are the ones who are no longer inferior, at least in terms of mentality. We will always be inferior in terms of physical strength, that can’t be changed.

Do you believe stating the basic fact that we as women are weaker than and under the control of males as demeaning women?

Trust me none of us like the truth, how painful is it to realize how horrifically our fellow women have been treated for centuries under male control and as second-class citizens but the truth is we WERE and still ARE. How was this possible? Because we are/were weaker. Throughout history, in the grand scale of things, there has only been relatively small numbers of women pushing feminism forward, we are the women who have evolved, who have the mental strength and capacity to see the lies and brainwashing pushed by males.

Misogynists will hear your first sentence and disregard everything else you've said because you're a woman calling yourself inferior (confirmation bias)

Like-minded feminists will set aside their time to try to understand your point of view and maybe even start considering themselves inferior. They would want to know why a fellow 'feminist' is validating the internalized misogyny they've been desperately trying to prove to themselves is nonsenical (obv this isn't logical from a feminist lense but feminists are not perfect)

All this to say. It's not my business what you decide to do. I'm just sharing my opinion. That women don't deserve to be told they're inferior. Because it's the farthest thing from the truth and many women will be hurt just hearing you say 'inferior'. I can tell you don't care about the impact you have on less knowledgable women, but I do, and that's why I had to share.

It is not validating internalized misogyny to accurately state that we are “inferior” ”weaker” or “lower in rank” to males. What an awful way to try and twist my words and the reality we live in and for what? To sugarcoat it? To make it more bearable? To kidd yourself?

Shall we lie and say: “oh no, women are not at all inferior/lower in rank to males, look at the pay gap, look at marriage, look at reproduction, look at assault and rape statistics, look at women’s basic rights in many countries, look at how easy it is for males to reproduce in comparison to what women are forced through but no not all all is there a power difference, definitely not, you go girl, you have the same chance as any male in this world, you won’t be treated as a second-class citizen at all!”

Are you really claiming that truthfully stating that women are weaker than males is wrong? I’m sorry but if one cant accept the reality of what we’re fighting against that’s not my issue. Majority of women just didn’t/don’t have the mental strength to accept the truth when faced with it, obviously excluding those who were/are physically unable to leave males due to entrapment.

You putting words in my mouth and failing to understand nuance proves to me this isn't a real conversation about ideas and points of view, but you trying to prove you're smarter. Which also doesn't make it seem like you're putting women first btw.

How do we as women “excel” in every other aspect? What aspects are you speaking of? Because far too many women certainly do not excel in many of the key aspects to our liberation. The only aspect I can see that we tend to excel in is ethics(mostly), there’s also emotional intelligence, however males also use that to their advantage.

To be fair, I do consider us women who stay away from males and denounce social conditioning to be smarter, we are more likely to survive and help other women to survive by distancing ourselves from the oppressor.

So you admit you DO believe women are inferior. Ladies, NEVER feel the need to argue your worth to a male supremacist. They will make up circular DISINGENOUS arguments trying to convince themselves they're correct.

But I'm gonna anyway cuz I'm bored. Here are a few facts since you're asking:

We are more flexible than male people.

We have better stamina and endurance in some extreme long-distance sports in comparison to male people (such as in ultra-marathons).

Some animals (especially other mammals such as wolves, horses, cats, etc.) are instinctively threatened by males, even if they have never been harmed by them. This is not the case with women.

We have better immune systems and survive viruses better than male people.

We survive famines and epidemics overall better than male people.

We survive variations in temperature overall better than male people.

We have better sense of smell than men.

Our chromosomes provide us with extra protection against certain genetic diseases like hemophilia, and we have more genetic diversity.

We have better balance due to our center of gravity being lower, in our pelvis's, while males have their center of gravity in their torsos. This makes us naturally better at sports like rock-climbing, gymnastics, certain martial arts, etc.

"The male fetus is at greater risk of death or damage from almost all the obstetric catastrophes that can happen before birth.2 Perinatal brain damage,3 cerebral palsy,4 congenital deformities of the genitalia and limbs, premature birth, and stillbirth are commoner in boys,5 and by the time a boy is born he is on average developmentally some weeks behind his sister: “A newborn girl is the physiological equivalent of a 4 to 6 week old boy.”

Women and girls have better color perception than males.

Multiple orgasms.

We're biologically better suited to being astronauts and living in space (note: and this was discovered 15 years ago yet this work was never published)

Some articles (debatable on credibility) suggest that we are better able to withstand complete sensory deprivation for several hours in comparison to men, who were able to withstand complete sensory deprivation for minutes.

For unknown reasons, we do not experience the same percentage of macular degeneration that men do in space.

We have a different adrenaline response. Our hormone systems work differently and so we do not lose as much decision making ability and fine motor control as men do in a crisis, making us better snipers and pilots thanks to our reaction time.

We have better life expectancy overall.

We heal quicker than males after injuries and are more likely to heal with lower rates of infection due to X-linked genes and cellular mosaicism for X-linked parental alleles.

While it's not clear whether this is due to how we are socialized since birth or concerns biological influences, women have greater spatial cognition and object location memory (furthermore, while men scan maps quicker, women remember more information from a map. Our moms seeming to be the one to always remember where lost objects were wasn't just imagined)

Women recall the appearance of other people better than male people (again, this could be more environmental than biological).

Though it's true that a child's DNA is inherited by both parents, the mitochondria inherits its genetic information from the maternal line. If you are female and choose to have offspring, you transmit your mitochondrial DNA to them and they will have only your mitochondrial DNA - while sons inherit it too, only female children are able to pass it down. Mitochondrial DNA is frequently used in evolutionary biology to construct genetic trees.

Female human beings are better able to manage glucose and store it in the muscle to be used in endurance sports and situations. We also have more adiponectin, higher concentration of fatty acids, and intramuscular triglycerides - all of which enhance endurance and may delay "hitting a wall" athletes experience.

Women have a greater proportion of "slow-twitch" muscle fibers which are more fatigue-resistant. "Fast-twitch" muscles allow for more quick powerful bursts of strength but fatigue quickly. In one study it's shown female weightlifters have more fast-twitch muscles, so this may be more dependent on exercise than sex.

I can tag you in the post I got these from that cites sources. And I can tag you in a post that PROVES males are inferior. With statistics on how terrible they are^^

Since women are not inferior, they had to be bombarded with a massive literature of religious, social, biological and, more recently, psychological ideology to explain, insist, that women are secondary to men. And to make women believe that they are inferior what better subject for this literature of religious teaching, cautionary folk tales, jokes and customs, than the female body?

Women are superior to males :)
