death to sex-based oppression

the whole anti-makeup thing on tumblr (I don’t know what they call themselves; it’s not hating on makeup but hating on the idea that makeup should be a mandatory standard) is pretty cool but, as someone who doesn’t wear makeup, it seems to completely miss a huge point…

In Japan make-up is a requirement for women. It’s not optional, but mandatory. If a woman doesn’t wear make-up when she goes job-hunting, she’ll most likely end up without a job. Plus, many view bare-faced women as “rude”.

When people talk about women taking power through sexualization, it promotes the patriarchal idea that women hold sexual power over men which is Absurd. It's really men who hold that power.

God, YouTube "feminism" is such a joke tbh, even worse than Facebook, Twitter, Buzzfeed or Tumblr. I guess Broadly is ok, well into libfem sex pozz ideology, but still tolerable, at least their cultural documentaries are interesting. But oh my gosh Vice is pure garbage cesspool (you'll get sick just by looking at the video titles) and needs to be taken down. Some radfem wrote that they're heavily involved in the sex trade and trafficking, which wouldn't surprise me if it were indeed true.

Everytime I see “actually corsets were actually good and supportive and good and not unhealthy and had nothing to do with beauty they were good corsets were GOOD CORSETS ARE GOOD SHUT UP THEYRE GOOD” the woman speaking always references the same YouTuber no matter where I’m hearing it. In real life, Reddit, YouTube, Twitter. They always reference the same YouTuber. Is this legit or is everyone just jumping at the opportunity to justify restrictive women’s clothing? Cause it really seems to me that everyone and their mom watched the same YouTube video and went “oh thank fuck I don’t have to worry about any sort of historical precedent for restrictive and uncomfortable clothing being forced on women. Thank god it was all blown out of proportion. Never gonna worry about that again 😌” and now they won’t shut up

I don't get why you're a radfem, genuinely. You're an ex sex worker and a lesbian, these radfems don't accept you. You're tainted in their eyes. So why are you trying to even impress them?

What gets me about the Johnny Depp situation is that for years, and especially since the #MeToo movement, every fucking MRA goes on and on about how everyone is innocent until proven guilty and how poor innocent men in positions of power can't possibly have their careers and reputations ruined because some lying bitch wants money/attention etc........and that's exactly how Depp was treated when Amber Heard accused him of domestic abuse. As innocent until proven guilty. He was literally cast as the main antagonist in a big franchise movie series, regardless of the allegations against him. And when he lost the libel case against the Sun for calling him a wifebeater, when 12 of the 14 alleged incidents of domestic violence against his ex wife were proven to have occurred (thus making him– you guessed it!– a fucking wifebeater) then and only then was he fired from his job.

It’s like people forgot about all the memes they used to make about toxic “softbois” because that’s what a lot of these abusive celebrity men become in their head. Their personas are sensitive, cool-headed, and mysterious. It’s comforting for newly-pubescent young girls because they can explore their feelings for boys safely. This may be a stretch, but I wonder if some of them are putting themselves in Amber’s shoes and going, “If I had Johnny, I wouldn’t complain!” because they’re still stuck on whatever loveable rogue Johnny played in a movie. Depp has claimed the 23-year age gap between himself and Heard didn’t affect their relationship much but I honestly doubt that. They’re a generation removed from each other. He was an established actor when Heard was a child. That’s just not a normal relationship dynamic. I don’t care if “it’s just different in Hollywood.” It clearly doesn’t work, and that’s what’s important here.
