Anti Radical Feminism - Tumblr Posts

anywayssss reminder that TERFism and racism go hand in hand EVERY time. no exceptions. if ur a terf who's also a poc then you're actually a fucking idiot. (all terfs are idiots but you especially)

radical feminism is inherently terfism (which is inherently racism). you cant think all men are biologically predatory and support trans women. cause trans women still have the "evil male chemicals" you hate so much. also a lot of men arent cishet or white so therefore they can be targeted by bigots, despite you claiming all men have privilege. anyways I hate radfems.

there’s nothing ‘radical’ about radical feminism, they’re just spouting repackaged puritanical right-wing bullshit. nothing new or interesting about what radfems have to say. you’re not radicalized, you’re just a pathetic cunt. 

think radfems believe women are inherently virtuous bc they subscribe to the christian belief that suffering is virtuous and believe the essence of womanhood is suffering...

Feminism has always, always had a history with Racism and White Supremacy - particularly in a way that promotes fascist leaning "Protection for Me and Mine" type "activism".

There have always been several Upper Class, White, Women at the helm of Feminist movements and it is something Poor, Working Class, Women of Color have been vocally criticizing since the First Wave.

I mean, US Americans, did you not learn about Sojourner Truth? Have you not read "Ain't I A Woman?"? It is one of the most famous early accounts of the racialized nature of gender. It perfectly highlights the way the social aspects of gender have always been barred from People of Color in a way they aren't barred from White People in a firsthand historical account.

Women's Suffrage, and subsequently the First Wave of Feminism was an actively Racially Segregated movement. White Suffragettes intentionally campaigned for themselves and themselves only because they thought that campaigning for Black, Immigrant, and Indigenous Women would undermine their own movement. They did not seek liberation for women, they sought the Systemic, Institutional Power of their White Male Peers and they got it - by intentionally leaving Women of Color behind them.

This is most evident in the fact that White Women received the right to vote in 1920, but Black Women did not receive the right to vote until 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. Almost 50 years later. That is over half a lifetime. This was also only approximately 2-3 years before Radical Feminism and the Second Wave began around 1967~1968.

If you think racial segregation and racism in the Feminist Movement ended with Black Women's suffrage and completely dissipated within the two years it took for the Second Wave to pick up it's feet, you are naïve at best and actively racist yourself at worst. The Women's Liberation Movement / Radical Feminism have always been White Woman's movements riding the coattails of the Suffragette's racism.

Look at the website for the Women's Liberation Front. WoLF is one of the original Radical Feminist organizations. It was founded in the late 60's and is one of the largest Radfem organizations to date. Now. Look at their board. Look at the photos of women they choose to include across their site. Look at the women who are speaking at their events. Beyond one or two token Black Women, it is a sea of Whiteness.

You know who is a special advisor to WoLF and the founder of the group "Standing for Women"? Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, aka Posie Parker. Kellie-Jay is the woman who popularized "Woman means adult human female" as an anti-trans slogan. Kellie-Jay is also real good buddies with - you guessed it! Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists!

WoLF also takes money from the Alliance Defending Freedom, (ADF) a Right Wing Christian Organization, and it's members have worked directly with the Heritage Foundation, a Conservative organization founded during the Reagan Presidency.

Radical Feminism as a political movement cares about the lives and held power of White Women under the guise of "Women's Liberation" in the exact same way as their foremothers, the Suffragettes. It's a foundationally White Supremacist movement. Black Feminists, Indigenous Feminists, Immigrant Feminists, and Colonized Feminists have been talking about this for over a century but it falls on White ears so why would they listen.

Also, being a lesbian radfem is fucking ironic, because they're acting like radical feminism didn't see and labeled lesbians as hypersexuals and a patriarchy replica for the masc/butch & fem labels and relationships.

why is it that the terf lesbians are always the most disgusting, unashamed and vitriolic in their hatred. terf lesbians imply that sleeping with trans women is a form of a corrective rape and that trans people are disgusting perverts for simply existing. wild.

That's what I've been saying on my post. Misandry is a result of patriarchy. If you abuse someone, they'll obviously hate you, sooner or later. But you should not bring that to your feminism.

we should not, in fact, bring back man-hating feminism

like you can say your post isn't a safe place for radfems and terfs all you want but you specifically said we should bring back man-hating feminism

man-hating feminism hates trans women of color first and foremost.

man-hating feminism hates muslim men, trans men, intersex people. and i say this again, most of all, man-hating feminism hates trans women of color more than anyone. (more on this point)

we do not need to bring that back. the idea of bringing that back should sicken you. it should anger you. it should be unthinkable that you would support that.

You forgot to add: They're also racist and extremely ableist.

Just a bit of a reminder: 'Radical Feminism' is not simply 'any feminism that is radical' or 'any feminism based on radical politics', it refers to a very specific branch of feminism centred on bioessentialist ideas, and that views misogyny as the central, most important form of oppression throughout history to the detriment of any other marginalised groups. It is overwhelmingly anti-porn and anti-kink. It rejects any queer label that doesn't meet its prescriptivist definitions, excluding anything beyond their rigid criteria for lesbians, gays, and bisexuals.

Unfortunately, we're not yet at a point where we could reclaim the term, you're best bet is to specify the school of thought ala 'intersectional feminism', 'Marxist feminism' or 'anarchafeminism', if you want to make it clear.

TERFs out here saying you can't be a woman if you don't have a uterus. I didn't realize I was non-binary until my late 30s.

At 31 (family record), I had a full hysterectomy so I could function as a person. Do you have any idea how much pain you have to be in to be 31, no kids, and get your uterus removed?

It's a lot.

Anyway, I had a TERF tell me once (before I was identifying enby, so she was only mostly terrible) that, yes, she did see me as less of a woman because I had removed my womb.

Other than fuck TERFs (and radfems and tradfems, the world's worst appetizer platter, truly), I don't know that I had a point here.

Oh! Wait! It's been 10 years! 10 years without crushing pain and depression every fucking day because I could barely walk for two years due to said pain!

And some fuck said I was lesser for making my choice.

Fuck 'em. It ain't parts. It's you. You make yourself who you are, you got me? You.

Heavy, HEAVY ON THIS PART, radical feminists are the reason why lesbian separatism and lesbian radical feminism exist in the first place. They were the ones to call us hipersexual and say that butch/femme culture was associable with the patriarchy, which would result in the assimilationism that is lesbicofeminism.

Every single anti- bi/pan-lesbian post i make goes the same way.

I go "hey lesbians dont experience attraction to men actually."

And some fucknut goes "thats exclusionary!! Lesbians can fuck men!!"

And i go "so thats rape culture. Youre advocating for lesbian corrective rape"

And they go "you dont respect diverse genders/sexualities!!"

And i go "i dont care what people call themselves, feel free to make up new labels, but lesbianism does not include attraction to men"

And the circle back around to "youre being exclusionary!! And a terf!!"

And i go "excluding is not inherently morally bad. Including is not inherently morally good. Also, im only talking about not being attracted to men, why do you think i mean "trans women" when i say men"

Then they go "well theres a long history of lesbians fucking men! Dont deny history!"

And i go "those lesbians were bisexual women who fought hard to have their own label and identity. You are being biphobic by erasing their struggles. Additionally, something having history doesnt absolve it of any crime"

And sometimes theyll go "but men fucking lesbians is a kink! You cant kinkshame!"

And ill go "something being a kink does not automatically mean it can't be criticized. Are pedophilia and beastiality a kink? Are they something that should be allowed? Kinks are not some magical, untouchable item that can do no harm in any situation."

And they'll go back to "some people just have open or fluid genders/sexualities! You cant box us in!"

And i go "sure. And you cant tell me how open or closed my sexuality is. You cant redefine a sexuality for all lesbians just because you want to. A sexuality is not more morally correct when open, and not more morally condemnable when closed. Aren't you against political lesbianism? How is political fluidity any better? (fluidity just for the sake of being more Politically Correct)"

And they go "but youre being mean!! Youre being loud and mean and your tone is bad"

And i go "well im a sexual assault survivor advocating against sexual assault of lesbians. My tone is probably indicative of how strongly i feel about this issue. Plus, its fucked up to ask an oppressed class to try and get the boot off their neck as prettily and quietly as possible."

And then they devolve into calling me a transphobe-terf mean scary fat lesbian who doesn't care about other people. All over me saying "lesbians do not fuck men".
