Because they literally expose right then and there that they believe that in a marriage, men are superior to women. Obv in a corporate chain of command, someone at a lower position is answerable to someone at a higher position, and has an obligation to obey them. Ideally, but ofc not in practice, a marriage should be such that both parties have an equal say in every decision and stand at an equal ground. A boss is always superior to an employee, but a husband should never be considered superior to his wife.

This just shows that according to conservatives, women don't deserve autonomy and respect in a marriage. They use this ploy of 'but women obey bosses!!!!!' to make it seem like women are intentionally undermining their partners, when in reality, they just want to reaffirm their belief in inherent female inferiority.

I keep hearing that women who follow islam are like chickens flocking to kfc. So many people want to criticize women, nobody is trying to understand why women are following islam in the first place.

Women have no agency in islam we can't decide where we go, what we wear and who we marry. Women in islam are completely dependent on men whether they be out fathers or our husband's, men are our gaurdians in islam so we cannot live alone. When we're kids were taught about how we'll go to hell for not wearing the hijab and for not believing in islam. You don't really think you can leave, nobody tells you, you have a choice. It's never the conclusion anyone comes to because the religion is so ingrained in our minds that even if we do question it we don't usually think we can leave because islam is the one true religion that's why everyone targets muslims, is what we're taught.

If we leave islam then what? It's not like we can live on our own, our father's and our husband's they control everything, believing in islam is the only thing giving us sanity because even when we have no rights atleast we can comfort ourselves with the fact that allah willed for women to be protected and hidden for whatever god's reason. It's a sick type of comfort, if we're locked in a cage atleast we wanted to be in the cage, it's like birds born in cages don't ever know they can fly. It's like that for muslim women as well we can't question the rules or the whole illusion will come crumbling down that we never had any power to begin with. If we leave we lose our family, our community and sometimes even our lives. For some it's just not worth it to leave because if we do leave we lose everything, some would rather just comfort themselves with the same lies, because the reality is to hard to face.

Longing and Loneliness from the series "Women of the East", by Shlopo Vera Alexandrovna, 1927.

Inevitable libfem: Excuse me this really hurts the feelings of women who enjoy suffering and make it their personal choice, ((don't even post this shit at all, you insensitive prick! There's nothing to examine here, just let it go, let it be.))

she got burned at the stake for wearing men's clothes, she was a teenage warrior protecting her country with whole patriarchal systems against her, show some fucking respect

“The idea that sex is composed of a series of parts that we can reconfigure at will.”

This is exactly why when we say that women are adult human females, TRAs will say things like “Oh so you’re reducing being a woman to having a vagina?”

It never occurred to me to fire back, “Why do you think that having a vagina is the only thing that makes me female?”

The female body is an intricately complex system that impacts our health and our lives every day, and the vagina is not the defining trait of the female sex but a statistically reliable indicator of it. What TRAs refuse to accept is that having a vagina means your body is supposed to have other components of the female reproductive system. This is not transphobic. This is not intersexist.

My body is both intelligent and messy and beautiful and gross and impressive. Every cell, every hormone, every muscle is why I am alive and strong. My uterus isn't there just to make babies. There are studies showing that it affects cognitive function and plays a role in memory. And my ovaries don't just make eggs. In actuality, the ovaries create hormones that impact bone density, cholesterol levels, heart health, and mood. There are things about my female body that work right, and there are things that don't work right. There are advantages I have over a typical male body, but there are also disadvantages I have compared to the male body. There is nothing about this that I have to be ashamed of.

To tell us that the female body, as a complex and holistic system, simply does not exist is how they can gaslight young girls into thinking that their bodies have not been taken advantage of by males in nearly every society since the dawn of time. It is how you squash any discussion of medical misogyny and doom millions of girls to a future of suffering with endometriosis, PCOS, and countless other disorders. It is how you convince a young girl who doesn't like her breasts because she doesn't like that boys ogle and grope them that it is because her breasts are the problem that must be removed instead of the men who raised these boys to believe that sexual access to her body without concern for her humanity was their birth right. It is how they convince a young girl that if she is poor and left to suffer by a society that does not care for her safety and well-being, that she can simply make an OnlyFans so that all men have access to her body which was never really hers to begin with, so there's no reason why this should be traumatic in the first place.

"The body as parts. People with uteruses, people with prostates, people with penises. We are all just a series of commodities, to be bought and sold, our human bodies are the enemy, our male and female forms are aberrations, mistakes that were forced on our sexless default."

So when we try to argue that being female does not make us feminine, subservient baby factories, and that we don’t have to alter our bodies in order to deserve rights and dignity, we can hardly get the words out before they’re buried in a chorus of “You’re trying to force me to have babies and wear makeup!! TERFs are conservatives! TERFs are misogynistic bioessentialists!!”

I think it’s incredibly telling that the tras in the notes and comments are so intellectually divorced from the actual meaning of their own rhetoric and ideology that they literally don’t even recognize it when it’s presented to them.

Because what OP is describing is absolutely their ideology, not verbatim but very neatly and succinctly paraphrased

But without their own snappy slogans and buzzwords they can acknowledge how absurd it sounds and ridicule it as if it were something they’ve never even heard of
