a good reason to be an ex radfem is that radfems don't actually want to liberate women around the planet. they want to create little pockets for themselves to die peacefully in. separatist spaces do not turn in to societies of their own. they last one generation. radfems have no plan to fight patriarchy, no strategy to take armed militant power or control of male owned spaces and actually liberate women from male power structures through force. they only have a plan to create a hospice service for themselves. they are useless.
iām going to tell you a story, anon.
i used to live in lebanon. you wouldnāt exactly think of it as the capital of feminism. thereās some feminist presence, but at the end of the day, most people had decided there were bigger problems to worry about.
i was raped. i donāt want to go into detail. but after that, i was completely traumatized. i had to quit my job because whenever i was near a man iād start shaking and eventually go into a panic attack.
i had no income, i was soon to be homeless, and i couldnāt do anything about it. i had taken to asking friends to loan me money. i told only one woman about what had really happened, and she told me to go to a certain address and ask āherā for help. she wouldnāt tell me more, just go and ask her for help.
this was a group specifically for women who, for some reason or another, had found their way here. after i joined, there were 7 people - two of them had been kicked out because they were pregnant, one woman was hiding from her violent husband, one woman had ran away from an arranged marriage, one of them was an ex prostitute who couldnāt find work anywhere else, and one was a rape victim like me.
it was ran by a woman who had a large inheritance and had become infamous about 30 years ago because her politician husband was convicted for domestic violence. she paid for and ran everything.
i stayed in that place for a little over a month. i saw a man twice - both times a delivery guy who just gave us the food and left. the place runs by word of mouth entirely.
āseparatist spaces do not turn in to societies of their own. they last one generationā¦ they only have a plan to create a hospice service for themselves. they are useless.ā
did you know that place has been running for over 30 years now? i am still in contact with the woman who runs it, and she mentioned to me that she thinks about 1200 women have been in there at some point.
hereās another question: do you know how entitled you are? do you know how fucking entitled you are to go around calling these spaces 'uselessā? have you ever used one? i doubt it. have you ever met someone who runs one? i doubt it.
you sound exactly like a man. like a misogynistic man who is angry that women can do what they want, and you canāt stop them :)
so i hope that your blood boils thinking about how useless these places are. i hope that you get indescribably angry thinking about all these entitled women using these spaces that should be given to the poor males.
