Cleopatra didn't start any wars. I've literally never heard her described as a "warrior queen" before; she was known for her intelligence, diplomacy, charm, and romantic pursuits.

The Song of Deborah is from the Old Testament (not exactly a historical text, but ok), and describes a warrior, Jael, who fights back against the men who invaded her city (she won). How is this "starting a war"?

Queen Artemisia is literally known almost exclusively for telling Xerxes I, King of Prussia, not to wage a naval battle with the Greeks (she was right).

Gregoria Apaza was an indigenous woman who helped lead an uprising against Spanish colonial rule in Bolivia.

Toypurina was an indigenous woman who helped lead an uprising against Spanish colonial rule in California.

Lorenza Avemanay was an indigenous woman who helped lead an uprising against Spanish colonial rule in Ecuador.

It is deeply fucking insane to accuse indigenous women who fought against Spanish colonisation of "starting wars". The Spaniards who set out colonising far and wide, torturing and killing women and children for fun, were MEN and those MEN definitely started those "wars" (genocides).

@here2causeproblems, I don't know where you got that list, but it's pretty embarrassing that you either found it randomly and didn't bother to fact check it . . . . or else you wrote it yourself.

Abstract

Ok well respectfully what we lost was the right to an abortion. Right

This is Emily Willis, an infamous rape on tape actress who suffered a cardiac arrest in a drug rehab facility. She suffered brain damage while unconscious and is now in “locked in syndrome”. She cannot walk or talk and probably never will. She is 26.

Naturally, men are asking if she will keep doing porn in this state. She cannot consent, at all. Her “doing porn” would be her getting raped, having it filmed, and then uploaded for other men to masturbate to. Some are even volunteering themselves to rape her.

Never ask me to ever give a single fuck about men’s rights while they’re saying this shit without shame on the internet. They're admitting they either masturbate to rape or would rape given the chance. This is the demon that the porn industry creates. Women and children, disabled or able bodied, dead or alive, have to suffer from this disgusting and inhumane industry. A porn actress dies, or is left permanently paralyzed, and all men say is “I wish I could fuck/rape her” “I’m going to masturbate to videos of her clearly suffering”. This just proves my theory that the ultimate male sexual fantasy is rape. And I’m supposed to care about Men’s Mental Health?

When a child would be born it’s biological sex, being an actual physical reality, would be noticed but not a single assumption regarding the child’s personality would be made based on it.

Growing up, children would be free to chose what toys and clothes they prefer. If they want to play with toy trucks or dolls, it would be fine either way. If they want to dress comfortably or in frilly colorful dresses, it would be fine.

Certain personality traits would not be encouraged in members of one sex and discouraged in the other. Females would be free to be strong, brave and assertive and males would not be shamed for being shy and soft spoken.

No female child would be called a tomboy and no male child would be called a sissy. No kid would ever be bullied for what we in our gendered world call “gender expression”.

When children would reach puberty they would still be free to dress how they want. Females would not be pressured to wear clothes that reveal their bodies and males would not be shamed if they chose to. Everybody would have a free choice of accessories, which would not be categorized as “men’s” or “women’s” but people could should whichever they liked. Or chose to not wear accessories at all if that’s what they are more comfortable with.

Females would not be pressured to keep their bodies slim, soft and hairless. Males would not be pressured to be athletic and muscular. Expectations of femininity and masculinity upon the body would not exist and affect negatively people’s relationship with their own body.

Everyone could choose a career without fearing stigmatization within that particular field because of their biological sex. The most important thing would be competence and not what someone has between their legs.

Domestic work would not be considered “women’s work” and would be shared equally between the sexes.

Biological sex would only be thought about when relevant. And everyone would be free to be themselves without ever having to worry about gender expectations. Nobody would feel the need to repress certain parts of their personality and exaggerate others in order to fit into some gender role that is being forced on them.

Gender abolitionism is not about restricting people’s choices but about giving them greater freedom.
