Nobody Really Talks About How Lonely It Can Be As A Radfem, Especially How Alienated You Feel From Other

Nobody really talks about how lonely it can be as a radfem, especially how alienated you feel from other women. The continuous betrayal and ridicule you’ll experience from the same people who agree with surface-level feminist analyses is so disheartening.

You’re eager to criticize poor male behavior yet you also vehemently deny real-world oppression that we all suffer from? Acknowledging the wage gap and sexual violence statistics is all fun and games but deconstructing anything beyond that is somehow taking things too far? Do you not see the irony in condemning things like the cosmetic industry while degrading other women who choose not to shave?

I want to know at what point they think the oppression of women starts and stops. Do you genuinely believe that thousands of years of misogyny simply disappears overnight? Is it truly the case that your father, your brother, your boyfriend have miraculously been deprogrammed and it’s all other men that are the problem?

Everyone wants to shit on men until it comes time to reconcile with the fact that the majority of them actively and intentionally contribute to maintaining a patriarchal society. Then it just gets too real

the promiscuous fandom-hopping tarts of today sicken me. No loyalty. No dedication. Those feeble video edits that are apparently meant to be the successor to Real AMVs. Nasty

It's not progressive to say "women are oppressed so they should be brutalized in films for the sake of realism". Hate to break it to you, but most men are sadistic towards women, not empathetic. The male film director who recycles the violent pornography he’s consumed isn’t challenging anything. He's only desensitizing an entire audience to cruelty against women.

can i make this absolutely crystal clear: if you watch porn, you are supporting porn.

it sounds so obvious but i have had too many guys tell me that just because they watch it doesn’t mean they necessarily support the industry. but???

what the hell do you think support means? do you think it’s your quiet disapproval that’s going to help us end this? it doesn’t matter that you, deep within your heart, don’t actually condone the stuff. they don’t need you to condone it. they just need you to click on it.

if you watch porn, then you are guilty of supporting it by fuelling the demand, regardless of whether you mean to or not. end of discussion.
