Stand with muslim women for their fight against religious fundamentalism, not against them
Never forget that public schooling can be a safety net and screening tool for abuse victims. How many girls are having to stay home with their abuser(s)? How many girls are falling behind? What are they being taught?

fat men will absolutely shit on fat women.
fat men will shit on average weight women for things like cellulite.
and it honestly makes me laugh because how are you, as a male, even holding on to that weight??
women have higher body fat percentages because we’re built to last. because we can make new people from nothing.
testosterone addled moids will shuck pounds from getting up and walking to the fucking mailbox. their systems are made to build muscle and drop fat, yet they’ll walk around looking like the michelin man and have something to say about womens bodies

“men have it worse clearly since they commit suicide more”
yeah but women attempt more, men just succeed more often because they use more violent methods

Let’s set the record straight. Radical feminists don’t talk in dogwhistles. When we say men, we mean men. Adult human males. We aren’t going to coddle your feelings by saying we’re only referring to “cis white hetero able bodied rich men” or whatever other modifiers you want to add on. If you see us say “men don’t belong in women’s spaces” and assume that we’re talking about trans women, it’s because you know they’re men.

“I invested in a pair of headphones so I wouldn’t have to listen to the things that men say to twelve-year-old girls on the subway. But only being able to see the looks they gave me and the way they mouthed the words made the silent come-ons seem threatening in a way they hadn’t before. One man in a business suit—whose manicured nails I had noticed as he held the subway bar—lifted my headphone off one ear, came close enough that I felt his breath on my ear, and softly said, Take care of your titties for me. He stepped off the train as the headphone snapped back onto my head.
I started seeing dicks so regularly on my school commute— behind newspapers, barely tucked into unzipped jeans, or with just the head peeking out of sweatpants waistbands—I started to assume every man on the subway was thinking about showing me his penis. Any time the man sitting next to me brushed his hands near his pants, I stiffened—ready to get up and move seats or yell at him if I was in that kind of mood. To this day, if I’m on a plane or train, or even in a cab, if a man rests his hands on his lap I become hyperaware, waiting.
The older I got, the less it happened. By the time I was eighteen years old, I would only be flashed on the subway once or twice a year. That summer, I was a few feet from the staircase leading up to the train platform when a car pulled over and a man shouted out from his opened window, asking if I knew where Northern Boulevard was. I pointed toward it—two blocks ahead—hardly glancing over, trying not to break my stride. I’m sorry, he said. I don’t understand. Where is it? I stepped off the curb to get closer to his car. Before I could point again to where he needed to go, I saw that his penis was out and that he was not really rubbing it like most men did, but shaking it. I was annoyed and tried to turn on my right heel to step back onto the sidewalk. But this man in the car grabbed me by my elbow and started pulling me toward the window. His left hand moved up to grab my shoulder, close to my neck, while he still shook his limpish dick with his right hand. He tried to pull me in further, and now my whole arm and shoulder were through his window and in the car. I pushed him on top of the head with my free hand and he let go.
I spoke to a detective at the police station a few days later; he called the man in the car a “potato head” and put me at a table with five huge books of mug shots. The label on the books said HISPANIC even though I told them I couldn’t be sure of his race. When I asked if they could give me fewer books, I was told that these were all the photos of Hispanic men in our precinct who had been arrested for sex-related crimes. Five books. They were heavy. I didn’t recognize anyone but spent several hours leafing through the books, touching the photos of the men within blocks of me who had been arrested for sex crimes. Young men, old men, very old men. When I asked the detective if they thought they would find the man who grabbed me, he looked at me across his dirty desk and shook his head. No, sweetheart, we’ll never find him.”

Rape culture is sexual entitlement. Men feeling like they’re owed sex and women feeling like PIV is inevitable. Rape culture is men treating women like sexual objects instead of people; dehumanizing them.
What about porn? The current sexual climate assumes that everyone should have access to porn, everyone should have access to their niche of porn, access should be free and constant, it should inform their sexual growth and education.
Porn is made by real humans, real people doing those things you probably couldn’t get a prospective partner to do, things you know in reality don’t feel good. Constant access to porn means assuming that people are going to keep making these vids; doing sexual acts they’re not comfortable with. Don’t see the people on porn as dehumanized sexual objects, they’re real complex humans.
Rape culture is sexual entitlement.
Porn culture is sexual entitlement.
Porn culture is rape culture.

this is so so important to me and mine, and I’m asking you to Do Something so I’ll respect your time and keep it brief
in the UK, if 100k sign a a government petition it will be brought to Parliament and debated. y'all know this country is suffering from some 80s-style bigotry right now, and this is one symptom: almost 200k fuckholes have come together to force the government to discuss whether it is ‘appropriate’ to tell children that queer people exist. this is a big symbolic victory for them. and i am burning with fury.
please, if you’re from the UK, sign this counter-petition so they can at least see how much of a minority they are. simply put, the attempt to put these bastards in their place isn’t gathering enough steam. there are barely 2000 more signatures now than there were this morning (27th January 2023), and that isn’t enough. i refuse to let these people feel even a moment of victory or satisfaction. please help.
- Please do not sign this petition if you are not a UK citizen with a UK valid postcode. If you are not a UK citizen please only spread awareness. False votes will nullify the petition and we will have to start over.
- Part of the reason petitions like the original are so dangerous is because they rapidly become a gateway to further bigotry and legislation. They will set a precedent that will be difficult to overturn. Prevention is always, always more effective.
The counter-petition is still currently a long way behind. Please help fix that.

hmmm i wonder why transwomen almost always have more sympathy for incels than they do radical feminists. it’s a mystery.
