“but there’s beauty standards for men too! men are punished for not being masculine!” yeah but men’s natural bodies are considered masculine. and women’s natural bodies are considered masculine. not shaving on a man is masculine, and not shaving on a woman is also masculine. do you see the difference? men are discouraged from performing extra beauty rituals whereas women are discouraged from being their natural selves. women are expected to perform rituals to comply with societal gender roles whereas men are expected to be their natural selves.
radfems: women are adult human females
tras: you mean the fuck hole sex? the baby maker sex? the one who should always be in the kitchen and wearing dresses? the bleeder? god TERFS are so misogynistic. :/

"radical feminism helps patriarchy stay in power" yeah.. you're right being pro abortion, anti porn, anti sw, anti beauty standards helping patriarchy very well.
and sticking to gender stereotypes which patriarchy loves, denying same sex attraction and sending women death and rape threats is probably very anti patriarchy
the girls may not be fully peaking but at least now they accept that they're girls 🥰
Didn’t Aristotle say that women are “deformed men” (Politeia)? DIdn’t Otto Weininger say that “no men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them” (Geschlecht und Charakter)? Didn’t Arthur Schopenhauer say that women are “childish, frivolous, short-sighted” and that they are “by nature meant to obey” (Über die Weiber)? Didn’t Thomas Aquinas say that “Woman is subject to man because in the male reason predominates” (Summa Theologica I)? Didn’t Augustine say that “he [man] is by himself the image of God”, whereas women are “merely man’s helpmate”?
I could go on but I think this should suffice for now. The point is that these are the “great men” that have been profoundly influencing Western thought for thousands of years and are quasi-worshipped for their supposed “genius”.
But then, somewhere along the line, one Valerie Solanas comes along, writes one little satire where she doesn’t talk about men in particularly favourable manner and suddenly she’s The Devil?

christianity will be like, nooo, don't worship life-giving nature, thousand year old trees or mountains or sources of clean water or animals that existed long before us, or women who created all human life on earth, those are just resources! Don't learn about the medicinal plants or how to safely deliver children and cure women's diseases, that's devil's business!
