Lol I Hate Today’s Era Of Absolutely Zero Nuance Takes. A Friend Didn’t Behave Exactly As You’d

this might piss off even some beloved mutuals who I respect and adore, but it is unbelievably aggravating seeing animal welfare issues equated as feminism. things can be different and still important. things can be related and still separate things. the harm that comes to female animals doesn't have to be a priority to a woman who is devoting her life to abortion, domestic abuse, or the political autonomy of women, or other human women and children issues.

A trend I notice with radical feminist writers is how blunt and direct they are, which makes them easy to read. Valerie Solanas, Andrea Dworkin, Gail Dines--all of them cut straight to the point. Meanwhile, "queer theory" authors like Judith Butler and Michel Foucault are famously dense, obscure, and no one can ever agree on what their point is.

I see people talk about how there's an anti-intellectual backlash happening on the Left, but I think it's worse than that--it's not just that people are discrediting academics and research, they're discrediting common sense. It's common sense to say that a man who orgasms to the thought of women in pain is a misogynist. It's common sense to say that sex that is meant to hurt and degrade someone is not good sex. It's common sense to say that a man is not a woman.

And I think that's why radical feminist authors come across as blunt speakers--because they aren't intellectualizing the obvious, they're stating it. Meanwhile, the work of Butler and Foucault obscures reality as much as possible (oh sorry-- "problematizes" reality as much as possible).

I wish the people who accuse radical feminists of having dog whistles would actually read radical feminist literature and see how blunt the writing is--absolutely nothing has a double meaning or an implied meaning. Everything is direct.

As a radfem of Rwandan descent, I find the “trans genocide” discourse especially heinous. I don’t understand why they’re so quick to use such language to describe not being able to access artificial hormones as children…like honeyyyy my paternal grandparents were murdered by their neighbors. During the Rwandan genocide, ~800,000-1,000,000 people died in the span of around one hundred days. That’s a genocide. In the United States, ~38 trans people were murdered last year…..be fucking for real.

It’s so insensitive to call that a genocide when there are real people who have actually experienced atrocities. It shows how sheltered and terminally online tra people are. It’s simply a high pressure sales tactic to get unwitting people to join their bandwagon because if you don’t, then…you support a “genocide” and that makes you a big fat meanie!!
