Focus not only on women, but on men and non binary people as well. Feminism is an equality movement, which means we need to uplift EVERYONE. Not just women.

No, it is not feminist’s job to protect pro gender-identity politics.

Why? Because, feminism and gender-identity politics are literally two contradicting theories.

The word “gender” was coined in the 1950′s by sexologist John Money (a pro-genderist, mind you) as a literal replacement word for the term “sex-roles”. Gender means “sex-roles”. Feminists in the 1970′s embraced “gender” as this distinction between biological sexes and the power relations that surround the two most common biological sexes, males and females. John Money also attempted to condition a child (David Reimer) into identifying as a girl when the infant suffered from a botched circumcision. He conditioned said child through sexual abuse with his twin brother, Brian Reimer, and believed that pedophilia love was a thing. David and Brian would later both die from suicide in their adult lives. 

John Money thought of gender as a “social identity”, much like Tumblr genderists. Genderists support his ideology, and in that, his actions. They also walk over other oppressed groups to support (transwomen) male violence against females which you can observe in nearly every anti-gender post that genderists have commented on. They silence females for talking about reproductive issues, pressure lesbians into having sex with them and call them “transphobic” when they don’t, advocate for sex reassignment surgery (benefiting privately run institutions and capitalistic ideals) to conform to sex-roles rather than safer and healthier treatments for dysphoric individuals (like me), ignore black radical and trans radical feminists by claiming they “hate themselves” (they call this “internalized trans-misogyny” for trans-radicals), do not think of how legally identifying into a social role is going to mess up sociological data on male/female violence, steal ideology from feminist and critical race theory such as the concept of “intersectionality” to use it against oppressed people just to validate their identities, and take terms from the inter-sex community, such as “afab”, and misuse them, advocate for anti-recovery techniques for mental illness such as exposure therapy (something ESSENTIAL to recovery for mental illnesses like Body Dysmorphoric Disorder, anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, etc).

Feminism is for the liberation of women as an oppressed class. It is not about protecting men at all. Feminism can be a very productive movement without protecting men since Feminism is anti-gender and benefits the oppressed sex. By claiming that feminism is about equality and lifting both men and women up, you are implying (maybe on accident) that women and men are already on the same playing field and that no power relations/oppression exists between men and women. Here are some helpful images that explain radical feminism pretty well (I do not take credit for any of them except for the first one):

We live in a patriarchy (and not an equal society or matriarchy) because men hold the most power, authority, and wealth. I am going to focus on US only.

Now that we have covered how women are oppressed by men in America, let’s look at the demographics of US women vs. other regions worldwide in violence statistics.

Regional data (source):

The report represents data regionally according to WHO regions.

For intimate partner violence, the type of violence against women for which more data were available, the worst affected regions were:

South-East Asia - 37.7% prevalence. Based on aggregated data from Bangladesh, Timor-Leste (East Timor), India, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand.

Eastern Mediterranean - 37% prevalence. Based on aggregated data from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Palestine.

Africa – 36.6% prevalence. Based on aggregated data from Botswana, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

For combined intimate partner and non-partner sexual violence or both among all women of 15 years or older, prevalence rates were as follows:

Africa – 45.6%

Americas – 36.1%

Eastern Mediterranean – 36.4%* (No data were available for non-partner sexual violence in this region)

Europe – 27.2%

South-East Asia – 40.2%

Western Pacific – 27.9%

High income countries – 32.7%

Violence against women in high-income countries:

In Canada a study of adolescents aged 15 to 19 found that 54 per cent of girls had experienced “sexual coercion” in a dating relationship. v 

In the United States, 83 percent of girls aged 12 to 16 experience some for of sexual harassment in public schools. xviii

The United States is the third country with the highest rape statistics.

Another source on how the US has awful sexual assault rates.

The United States is rated one of the highest countries in the world for violence.

The US is a terrible place for women.

22 countries where the gender wage gap is smaller than the US

U.S. women are more likely to die during childbirth than women in any other developed country, leading the U.S. to be ranked 33rd among 179 countries on the health and well-being of women and children. 

US women paid less in every industry.

The U.S. ranks high on education and economic opportunities for women. But it ranks 60th on political empowerment, compared to Canada’s (ranked 20th overall) 42nd position.

Until the plague began to effect straight people. THEN his administration cared. Because the people that mattered were finally getting sick. And finally the millions of dollars in research money was poured into finding a treatment for HIV. But by then, so many LGBTQ individuals had died.  More people died from the initial HIV epidemic than the Vietnam war.

I love that they think transmisogyny is real. When in fact it’s homophobic het men that hate GNC men (trans “women”) for not being “manly” enough. It’s literally their own gender theory bullshit coming and biting them in the ass. There own theories are the same things killing them. The idiocy is mind-boggling. And again, blaming the violence of men on women. No woman, let alone a RadFem has EVER killed a trans “woman” (but the opposite has happened hundreds of times).

“Girls’ night,” “Atta girl!” “Girl on girl,” “Baby girl,” “Good morning, girls,” “girl talk,” “I’ve missed my girls,” etc etc

It’s to the point where women actually shy away from the word “women” and prefer to be called girls, probably because to no longer be a girl is to be old, tired, useless, homely, motherly, boring, nagging, serious, etc.

On the flip side, you rarely hear men being referred to as “boys” outside of maybe pop music and tumblr’s “soft boi” memes. And I have never heard men ask to be called boys instead of men. That’s because being a man is something to aspire to and something to be proud of.

Another side effect is that by calling all females “girls,” it obscures her age. If you hear, “a girl was attacked last night” you assume it was an adult unless an age is mentioned. Versus if you said “boy” there would be almost no question.

Gender Troubles: The Butches

Women “choose” to wear makeup every day. But do they? Or is this “choice” made because without it women know it’s harder to succeed in life. Is it a choice when you’ve been pressured? When you’ve been manipulated? When you’ve been brow beaten? When you’ve been socialized to believe it’s the only “choice” you have?

lesbian means attracted to women and only women, and thats it.

Transphobes are fucking nuts. They’re going so far as to make fake posters masquerading as official institutions.

Breasts? I guess cis women who have had theirs removed arent fenale anymore

Uterus? Well guess cis women who have had full hysterectomies are out too.

Ability to reproduce? There goes sterile/infertile cis women

Presents femininely? Butch cis women, gnc cis women, or androgynous cis women arent fenale either I guess?

Like seriously. There is no "qualification" that can be trusted to consistently identify "females". Even genetic testing to determine a person's chromosomes isn't effective (and extremely time consuming, more than a woman just using the damn bathroom).

Secondary sex characteristics, the ability to produce eggs (even if they don't), the ability to bear children (even if they are sterile/have had hysterectomies).

Even literal insects can identify females from males you moronic nut

ok child.

Anyway, Haruka is canonically a butch lesbian, and isn’t trans. Her being called “both male and female” is an issue that the mangaka didn’t go around calling Haruka what she is: a gender-nonconforming woman.
