where did all the fun fonts go

I have absolutely no doubts in my belief in the ideology of radical feminism, but I really think the community needs some serious work in the ableism department. Disabled women are the most vulnerable women, it's important to make sure radical feminism is welcoming and accessible!

Women with autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities often experience ableism from radfems who use ableist slurs such as "retard", who are harsh against autistic behaviour and communication, who stigmatize not having the ability to work or needing a caretaker, who are harsh against women who need things to be simplified due to lack of understanding of more complex language, who are resistant against women with weird interest or "unfriendly" and "cold" dispositions.

Women with severe mental illnesses often experience ableism from radfems who pathologize all male abusers as having ASPD or NPD, stigmatize severe trauma reactions, stigmatize delusions and hallucinations, stigmatize odd behaviour, stigmatize having intrusive thoughts of violence (including sexual violence), etc.

Women with physical disabilities and chronic illness often experience ableism from radfems who stigmatize not having the ability to work or needing a caretaker, who meet up in non-accessible locations, who do not take effort to include blind or deaf women in communications, who demand participation hinge on physical capabilities (such as requiring long participation hours in events).

Women with all types of disabilities often experience ableism from radfems who place independence as the ultimate virtue and, intentionally or not, shame those who cannot be independent, radfems who speak over disabled women, who do not want to make effort to include all women, who do not want to see the realities faced by disabled women.

We can do better!

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

This 2022 study found evidence that men use suicide as a deliberate and calculated tool to control people around them:

Because abuse is a moral disorder, not a mental disorder. It is more of a mindset/belief system- ie: they believe that they own their partner and are entitled to control every aspect of their life.

It’s quite possible for someone to rank high in narcissistic traits or suicidality and not become outright abusive.

Similarly, it’s possible for someone to be mentally normal in all other areas of life, but when it comes to relating to their intimate partner/victims-demonstrate abusive narcissistic behavior or terroristic violence, including (but not limited to) murder-suicide.
