need a genuine explanation about how trans racial is bullshit but the other one isn't? i think i asked before but i would love a genuine answer as to how that's not the literal same thing as being transgender...?

1 in 4 American women experience rape in their lifetime because of their ~* gender vibes*~

Even if you totally removed misogyny from the equation, women would still have different experiences from men on account of our bodily functions, such as menstruation and pregnancy. We have very different physical experiences, and, due to misogyny, very different social experiences too

both race and sex impact one's experiences in the world from birth and cannot be opted out of nor changed, so like.. pretending race is a legitimate category whereas sex is imaginary is.. strange to say the least.

people say "oh its my culture/religion" and pull up with the most misogynistic shit ever. like its important to be critical of everything :/

we had to take a diversity training at work recently and one of the scenarios presented was a man refusing to shake a woman’s hand because of his religion, and how she was wrong to be offended. for sure 👍

„prostitution will always exist“ means „men cant stop sexually exploiting vulnerable people“ what a great political philosophy.

there are really people out there who think being a „terf“ woman is worse and a bigger problem than a man consuming violent porn or going to brothels LOL

Why am I supposed to empower myself as a woman by “reclaiming” everything misogynistic and degrading and pornified.... I’d rather “reclaim” my rightful dignity and humanity lmfaoo

calls women reproducers but desperately wants to be one of us. pick one.

I saw a tiktok yesterday from a very well spoken woman on what happens to women when society breaks down. She talked about the only thing stopping men in a civilized society from doing what they want to women at large is the small, small chance that there will be repercussions and that without that threat, they rape and brutalize freely. She talked about how, in her experience as a humanitarian aid worker, she and her peers were told that if they were taken, the men would be killed and the women would wish they had been. In the comments women talked about apocalyptic movies that touched on this, with the line “we promised them women,” from 28 days later. And another where a woman was paid as a toll to allow a group to carry on. Another real life scenario where a woman was passed around a large group of soldiers. Women in the comments say that they’d prefer to die first in a disaster scenario, but worry that their bodies wouldn’t be safe either. I think of that “joke” post from a guy implying that if he were in the titanic submersible and knew everyone was going to die, he would rape whatever women were near him. I think about how I would protect myself if I found myself in that situation, or how I would protect my mother, and I couldn’t because there are so many evil men. It’s had me fucked up since I saw it and also had me reflecting on how insane it is that men are so evil to women and women can’t even acknowledge it, can’t say that they don’t like men, can’t set the very reasonable boundary of saying I don’t want to be around men. Men scare me, men are dangerous.

I'll never forget the multiple eyewitness stories of women's raped and mutilated corpses displayed on roadsides at the tail end of WWII.

Or when the allies celebrated victory by raping German women en masse 😔

Or The Rape of Nanjing. Over 20 000 cases of rape in six weeks. I'll never forget the witness account of a woman who survived and told how the Japanese would bayonet babies and rape children to death. I don't recommend reading the extensive Wikipedia page unless you want to be crying for tbe rest of the day.

It speaks to why women globally are socialized to people-please and usually over-rely on the fawn trauma response. Women historically have protected ourselves and our daughters by appeasing individual men into defending us from other men.

It is because of their genitals. Men are taught, because of their genitals, that it’s okay to harm others so long as they can get what they want. Men are taught, because of their genitals, to prioritize themselves. Men are taught, because of their genitals, that their feelings and desires matter more than women’s safety, because of our genitals. Genitals are what makes people decide how they are going to raise and treat a child. It is often subconscious, but there’s plenty of instances of men being excited to have sons because they want to teach them this stuff
