I'm an old woman and I don't understand tumblr.

God, I’m so tired of this point being intentionally twisted into something antagonistic.

Can y’all ‘gender critical’/’radfem’/whatever term you’re using to justify transphobia folks just let us live in peace? Thanks.

oh and “genital preference” is homophobic fucking language sexuality isn’t a “preference” being gay isn’t a choice or “preference” you ARE against sexual boundaries and if you dislike sex stop telling people WHO they should and shouldn’t have sex with you fucking idiot. people being forced to sleep / date with someone they don’t want to is rape / conversion which your dumbass probably would care about if people told you YOU had to have sex. Shut the fuck up and don’t speak. Because of people like you and stupid posts like this so many people have been raped & coerced into sex by trans people, forced themselves because on no they’re a bigot otherwise. YOUR GOAL is to make people sleep with them and date them or you wouldn’t tell them they’re a bigot and need to change that. That is your intention 100% do it or you’re a bad person.

Anyway, activism isn’t opening your legs or offering your mouth or anus. You can use all the weasel words you want, but you are still advocating for rape by coercion.

More importantly, why do men?

Literally more men get sexually assaulted by other men then they do by women.

i diagnose you with female socialization

“This ‘modern’ feminism only promotes hate! It’s about EQUALITY!” You being complacent with the society we live in that does it’s best to protect rapists, force women to adhere to strict standards to be considered socially acceptable, warns women daily about how it is their responsibility to protect themselves from being sexually harassed and abused while simultaneously spewing out garbage like “boys will be boys” when witnessing male violence, makes huge profits from the insecurity of women that it has instilled in us IS PROMOTING HATRED.  The hatred of women. The hatred of girls. And if you don’t see this, you are obviously deluding yourself or living in a magical fantasy land, can I join you? Because I for one, am fucking sick of being viewed as a being so easily swayed by their hormones that people actually use that as a fucking reason to stop women from rising to positions of power. I am tired of being told that my humanity is ugly, and to be “beautiful” and “natural” I have to purchase 20 products to erase that which makes me human in order to be the flawless ideal created by men and named “woman”.  I am also so very angry because I have been socialized to ENJOY this. I have been brought up to LIKE covering myself up to appear closer to the male created images jumping out at me from everywhere. I am so angry because I have been conditioned. And you should be to.  You should be angry too, you aren’t an equal and you never will be so long as this patriarchy exists. You will always be the inferior.  You have a criteria to fill and if you don’t, they will make you feel like shit about it. Do you know what EQUAL is?  It is not the world where millions of girls are being mutilated to “control” them, sexually.  It is not a world where a girl child is killed in the day she is born because she has a vagina. It is definitely not a world where you are being manipulated and conditioned.  Men don’t care much about liberal feminism, you know why? Because it does nothing. It is the comfortable place where they know that women are under the delusion that they are making a difference, but it does not affect them in any way. So they let you turn feminism into a game of profit. Because it benefits them.  Feminist makeup! Feminist porn!  It’s really laughable, because it all benefits them. It keeps them comfortable and happy.  You hate radical feminists? You hate radical feminism?  Because it’s full of hate? The world is full of hate for us, and suddenly when we aren’t smiling in 6 inch heels with a face full of makeup, it turns into “angry man hating lesbians”.  Because that’s the worst you can come up with, right? Women who don’t need you. Women who don’t need men, that is the worst kind of woman and that is the label you put on us.  What could be worse?! Gender non conforming AND not attracted to men! What a waste of a uterus!!

Anyway it's very hard for us to love ourselves because of the world we live in. But it's so worth it

Whenever you meet a woman who is very, very, very sweet and nice - then chances are that this is a woman who constantly, perpetually feels that there’s stuff deeply wrong with her, that she is guilty of horrible things, and needs to apologize constantly. She is extremely nice because she feels that she needs to apologize for her very existence and try as best she can to appeal to others so they won’t hate her. It’s not a good thing that her personality is like this. 

So sometimes the makeup and the sweetness are self-love. 

(And no, please don’t give me the BS about how “~~~some~~~~ males wear makeup and revealing clothes!!” - Because by far and wide it’s not males who wear makeup and revealing clothes, it’s females, and they are the ones who are made to feel like they have no significance if they don’t do these things.)

Why is it always “but then the [young and beautiful and sexy] female protagonist recognized that the male was so SMART and so POWERFUL and so SPECIAL and so BRILLIANT and she realized how he needs to be as important as she is!!” - FUCK THAT, every single story in existence ALREADY tells you TIME AND AGAIN AND AGAIN how fucking important males are!!! Stop apologizing for writing a matriarchy! 

But in a matriarchy males are not second class citizens, they are just very small in number and not important. A matriarchy is not the opposite of a patriarchy.

Gosh you know, regardless of this, we’re talking novels that are about completely imaginary science fiction and fantasy societies, on other planets that don’t exist in reality - so I don’t think that asking to see males treated as second-class citizens in a matriarchy would be too much of a stretch. If talking trees and purple people with five arms is possible, then I think they can allow me the pleasure of seeing males treated like garbage in a matriarchy for once. I badly need to see it. And I have no qualms about saying this - the number of males who very openly and comfortably talk about wanting to see women treated like garbage (and who actually do treat women like garbage) is astronomical, I badly want to see males treated horribly for once in a society dominated by women, it would be very therapeutic to me. 

In a video game I, a woman, got tired of seeing how female characters’ outfits are always borderline pornographic, so I made a male character who was dressed in a similarly revealing manner. Very regularly guys in the game call my character “gay.” One time I explained to a guy who called me “gay” that I’m female in real life. He said, “a gay female?!” - like he couldn’t comprehend... that I as a straight female would want a male to please me visually. Just as OP has said, “if a male is visually pleasing, then it must be for another male.”

“A commitment to sexual equality with men is a commitment to becoming the rich instead of the poor, the rapist instead of the raped, the murderer instead of the murdered.” –Andrea Dworkin

Finally, the “lol if you’re all for equality then can I punch you” brilliance assumes that males don’t already beat up, punch, physically abuse and literally murder women all the time. They already fucking do that and have done that for ages. Women have had to put up with their violent shit for ages. The implication is that “oh, you women have had it so comfortable because we went easy on you” - like what fucking planet are you living on, males are such a huge threat to women that they should all be put under restraints for this reason alone, instead of being allowed to be in charge of shit. 

Like oh, I suppose in this one they included Jasmine there in the back as an afterthought...
