#nicefem

You know the Radfem "Personality types" right? You know like Nicefem, Factfem, Rudefem, Freakfem? I think they are not so much "Personality types" but rather "Stages". I call it

The Stages of Radfem

They are not necessarily but often in this order.

(Also they mimic directly the Stages of Grief. (Coincidence?))

Peak trans/ Peak Patriarchy - the moment you see through the bullshit, often paired with the feelings of shock, despair and Depression (the "no hope for women" stage but also the learning stage where you gobble up everything you can learn about Feminism)

Nicefem - you wanna discuss with others but you think you can convince them with beeing nice to them, the Stage of Denial, you still think society cares about (for example) rape victims because they say they do (they do not)

Factfem - you realized that beeing nice gets you nowhere plus you've gotten your first insults and deaththreats, you think "surely they will listen to facts if I tell them about it" , the Stage of Bargaining

Rudefem - you just don't care anymore, stage of anger, you lash out, why should you be nice to them if they are assholes to you?

-Febfem/bisexuality

-Anarchism/Communism/Leftism

-Reproductive Rights

-World Politics/Feminism around the globe

-Theory

Anyways, I used to be a conciliatory nicefem, but I think this Rose McGowan video broke me. I hit peak trans a long time ago—in fact, I never really believed in it—and I’ve been a radfem for probably two years now, but I felt something break inside me today when I watched that video of the greasy pink-haired child molester yell at McGowan and like....I’m honestly completely finished with all trans activism and I feel no shame in correctly gendering every single male in the universe and I feel zero obligation to care about males harassing and even murdering other males, like they can work their own shit out between them. There are individual men in my life that I care for and love but I give zero shits about men as a political class and I hope all female handmaidens one day wake up and feel the bottomless pit of shame and humiliation you feel when you realize you’ve fallen for the long con, and you’re just a chump, a loser who fell for something because you were naive. And I understand and support that feminism is for all women, including women I personally dislike, including women that actively fight to sabotage women’s rights for individual personal gain, but I have no obligation to emotionally care about savage handmaidens to the patriarchy who would kick other women in the face for a scrap of male approval.
