do you think these so-called liberals ever notice that they just hate feminism? any insinuation of female oppression puts them on edge. any mention of men as an oppressive force makes them distrustful. they comb through women's blogs, searching keywords like "feminism" and "sexism" for proof that we're "terfy". it's "terfy" if you say women are often innocent victims of abuse, it's "terfy" to say men are overwhelmingly our abusers, and what they really mean is it's uncomfortably feminist. what they really mean is they view feminism as unnecessary and feminists as the enemy. do you think they realize?
Even before the terf wars, so-called liberals have always hated feminism. When feminists worked to get basic rights for women like suffrage, they accused women of dividing the left by distracting from "real issues" like income disparity or racism. When feminists attempted to get more women in positions of power in business and politics, they were accused of being selfish capitalists for trying to attain power within the system rather than tearing it down. And of course through all of it, people on both the left and right called feminists ugly, unlovable, shrill, and embarrassing--anything to shame, guilt, or scare women back under male control.
TRAism is just the latest excuse liberals have to scold feminists for being mean selfish bitches bc the truth is there's nothing they hate more than a woman who doesn't know her place.
#the left has just as much contempt for feminism as the right & they always have#i think many of them do not realize this bc they have convinced themselves that they're virtuous progressives (via bittermarching)
