I guess this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the label "pick me" is being used wayyy to frequently now.
Calling a girl a pick me when she simply says (without shaming anyone) "I don't wear makeup", "I don't sleep around", or "I don't party" is a reflection on how you view your own lifestyle.
If you feel the need to call a girl a pick me because she can proudly say she doesn't wear makeup or she doesn't participate in hookup culture you're showing that you are insecure about your lifestyle and how you present yourself. Calling a girl a pick me because she can proudly live life as your opposite is a reflection on you. Maybe reflect on why you are so threatened by women who don't wear makeup and are proud of it before you call anyone a pick me.

The average man thinks he’s smarter than the average women. And women generally agree.
By Lisa Wade, PhD
It starts early. At the age of five, most girls and boys think that their own sex is the smartest, a finding consistent with the idea that people tend to think more highly of people like themselves. Around age six, though, right when gender stereotypes tend to take hold among children, girls start reporting that they think boys are smarter, while boys continue to favor themselves and their male peers.
They may have learned this from their parents. Both mothers and fathers tend to think that their sons are smarter than their daughters. They’re more likely to ask Google if their son is a “genius” (though also whether they’re “stupid”). Regarding their daughters, they’re more likely to inquire about attractiveness.
Once in college, the trend continues. Male students overestimate the extent to which their males peers have “mastered” biology, for example, and underestimate their female peers’ mastery, even when grades and outspokenness were accounted for. To put a number on it, male students with a 3.00 G.P.A. were evaluated as equally smart as female students with a 3.75 G.P.A.
When young scholars go professional, the bias persists. More so than women, men go into and succeed in fields that are believed to require raw, innate brilliance, while women more so than men go into and succeed in fields that are believed to require only hard work.
Once in a field, if brilliance can be attributed to a man instead of a woman, it often will be. Within the field of economics, for example, solo-authored work increases a woman’s likelihood of getting tenure, a paper co-authored with a woman has an effect as well, but a paper co-authored with a man has zero effect. Male authors are given credit in all cases.
In negotiations over raises and promotions at work, women are more likely to be lied to, on the assumption that they’re not smart enough to figure out that they’re being given false information.
Overall, and across countries, men rate themselves as higher in analytical intelligence than women, and often women agree. Women are often rated as more verbally and emotionally intelligent, but the analytical types of intelligence (such as mathematical and spatial) are more strongly valued. When intelligence is not socially constructed as male, it’s constructed as masculine. Hypothetical figures presented as intelligent are judged as more masculine than less intelligent ones.
All this matters.
By age 6, some girls have already started opting out of playing games that they’re told are for “really, really smart” children. The same internalized sexism may lead young women to avoid academic disciplines that are believed to require raw intelligence. And, over the life course, women may be less likely than men to take advantage of career opportunities that they believe demand analytical thinking.

Warning
When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat which doesn't go, and doesn't suit me.
And I shall spend my pension on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals, and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I'm tired
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells
And run my stick along the public railings
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick flowers in other people's gardens
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go
Or only bread and pickle for a week
And hoard pens and pencils and beermats and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry
And pay our rent and not swear in the street
And set a good example for the children.
We must have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practice a little now?
So people who know me are not too shocked and surprised
When suddenly I am old, and start to wear purple.
-Jenny Joseph 1961

They are angry about the age verification because boys are first exposed to porn at 11-13 years old, often younger even. When they are exposed so young, they get locked into it easier. This ensures lifelong fans. Real mask off moment.

It baffles me how radical feminists are considered conservative when the idea of female separatism is 10x more radical and far left than most of the beliefs held by left-wing parties. I will not listen to anyone who calls radical feminism a conservative ideology because it means they haven't done any research or reading.
We don't hate porn because we think women should be pure virgins who only commit to one man, we hate porn because it degrades women and is the product of sex trafficking, coercion, and propaganda.
We don't hate tight clothing and makeup because we think women should be covered from head to toe, we hate it because it restricts movement and makes day to day life uncomfortable for women.
We don't criticize the trans community because we think everyone should conform to gender roles and there should be no attempt to break the gender binary, we criticize the fact that transition is based on stereotypes, norms, roles, clothing, and other things women have fought for years to be free from.
Radical feminism does a better job at attacking actual oppressive structures and frameworks than most other leftist ideologies and I am done with ignorant people online comparing radical feminism to trad wife life or traditional conservatism. Especially when this criticism comes from losers who spend all day watching porn that promotes racism and classism.

One trouble with soft-core sexual imagery aimed at young men is that the women photographed are not actually responding sexually to anything; young men grow up trained to eroticize images that teach them nothing about female desire. Nor are young women taught to eroticize female desire. Both men and women, then, tend to eroticize only the woman’s body and the man’s desire. That means that women are exaggeratedly sensitive to male desire for their own arousal, and men are exaggeratedly insensitive to female desire for theirs.
— Naomi Wolf (1990) The Beauty Myth

This would make me suicidal.
I wish every man on the subreddit could go through a fraction of what that woman has been through.
Men always tell OF girls and porn stars to get respectable jobs then prevent them from living normal lives and leave the industry by acting like this. Every single man on that subreddit needs to be doxxed. I want their mothers and sisters and all the women in their lives to see how they act.
these are the men you write male positivity posts for

If y'all don't stop romanticizing being a housewife I swear. Women did not trick men into letting women be housewives, it's literally a way for men to hold all the financial and social power in the home and the country. Being a housewife wasn't staying home all day, putting makeup on, and going shopping. It meant taking care of multiple kids. It meant being drugged out of your mind and even being forcefully lobotomized. Housewives of the early and mid 1900s were usually extremely depressed and anxious.
Education for women is precious. Being able to hold a job as a woman is something we should be thankful for every day.
I can't believe that in 2024 this type of content gets millions of likes.

labour (as in effort) and job (as in profession) are not the same thing. but work can mean either of these things. and sex is labour, but its not a profession.
thats why they chant „sex work is work“ and not „sex is a job“. if they did, people would realise there is something off about the claim. they also dont chant „sex is a service“ even though thats how they treat it if they advocate for „sex work“ to be recognised as a profession.
you see, „sex is work“ can be interpreted as sex is (physical) effort, it can or can not involve payment (for example, planting a flower is work, but only becomes the job of gardener if you get paid for it). but „sex is a job“ and „sex is a service“ implies obligation. obligation implies negative consequences if you dont do it. its clear what this means in the context of sex: coercion. you are obligated to have sex (even if you dont want to do it), like you are obligated at a job to do things you might not want to do, or enjoy doing.
„sex is a job“ and „sex is a service“ also implies a hierarchy and power imbalance. one tells the other what to do. this of course is at odds with emphasising the alleged bodily autonomy and voluntarism that prostitution advocates say they want - for prostitutes, who are being told what to do if sex is their job.
in my opinion, the cognitive dissonance of feminists supporting the sex industry is perfectly exemplified in their favourite mantra, „sex work is work“.

I guess you failed math class or something because out of my 239 posts (including reblogs) I have 7 "anti-trans" posts.
Most of my content is anti-porn.
Your feminism is about equality.
My feminism is about liberation.
We are not the same.
