Tired of apologetic love for the pussy… y’all shamed ‘pussy hats’ for ‘white feminism’ and act like feminists who spread positivity and love for the vulva art ‘womb fetishizing gender essentialists!’… Pussy is EVERYTHING. Women are still being killed for having our periods. The word for ‘hysterical’ comes from ‘womb’. Women are still being told having a hymen means we’re a virgin. Women are still having the husband stitch done to us against our will. We deserve to never apologize or feel bad for loving our bodies and our genitals, and you can deal with it.

Males are breaking down on a global scale. I would suggest connecting or reconnecting with IRL women at this time. Even if you disagree with them. I’m as guilty as anyone of letting female friendships slide due to differences of opinion. Obviously some women are beyond help and/or so far gone they might drag you down with them. Use your best judgment. But things are looking more dire by the day. Even a tenuous connection with an annoying but mostly good-hearted female friend could help as males descend further into whatever the loving fuck is going on with them.

Remember when the internet ravenously tore Julia Fox—an autistic woman—to shreds for not understanding that this man's post was a nonsensical rape metaphor? Remember how she received more hate and scrutiny for misunderstanding a rape metaphor than any man has ever received for committing rape? Wasn't that rather interesting?
Controversial opinion, but I doubt this man was raped. I doubt a victim would ever claim that the reason they were raped was because their body was just “so good.” Victims know that rape has nothing to do with how good you are in bed. They don't take it as a compliment.
This seems like a humble brag, or something a man with a sick kink would say. Indeed, this is something I'd only expect from a man who had never been victimized. And others must realize this as well—surely they must? But the internet still rushed to this man’s defense to overcompensate for the demonstrably false idea that “male victims aren’t taken seriously.”

"Not like other girls" vs. "not all men" — patriarchal division
We all know the popular "not like other girls" (or "not like other women", respectively) trope.
I‘ve been thinking about it a lot recently and what really annoys me is that society teaches young girls and women that girlhood and womanhood are inherently "bad" and hence not being like other girls and women is "good" and "desirable".
While many people believe that it stems from the girls and women themselves, I‘d like to emphasize the impact of growing up in a deeply patriarchal, misogynistic society and system which ultimately influences the steps we take.
The world we live in is built on female oppression, exploitation, rivalry and division. By ensuring that girls and women believe in what the patriarchy teaches us, men ensure their power and authority as we‘re busy trying to "fit in" and prove that we‘re the "good girls/women". Girls and women are conditioned to look down on other girls and women and aspire to be different — to be validated by men that they‘re not this flawed image of girlhood and womanhood.
Once we have internalized these misogynistic beliefs, we start to make our lives revolve around them and also spread them further. That‘s a common technique used by oppressors — divide and conquer.
Now we have lots of girls and women who desperately want to be different from other girls and women, who want to be as close as possible to whatever gets them men‘s approval and highlights that they‘re actually good instead of "flawed" like the rest.
Girls and women are always either "too human" or "not human enough". Whether it‘s looks, interests, personality etc.. We‘re trained to make entire lifestyle choices based on other people’s men’s perception. We‘re forced to balance between idealized womanhood and demonized womanhood.
The solution we’re presented? Putting other girls and women down to "prove" ourselves.
And it‘s not like there aren’t any tools for this, in fact, the patriarchy provides them abundantly.
The beauty & diet industry strive to divide us.
Fun activities which are still "gendered" to this day strive to divide us.
The media, social platforms and advertisements strive to divide us.
Sexualization and objectification strive to divide us.
Relationships with men strive to divide us.
Even when men commit atrocities, they divide girls and women, not men.
On the contrary, men and boys are taught to be united. Not in a coddly way, perhaps, but in a way that gurantees solidarity and immunity when needed.
"Not like other boys/men!" isn‘t a thing, instead, we got "not all men!", a.k.a. "I‘m like other men and because I‘m not bad, they aren’t, either!".
Whilst men are more prone to violence and deliberately inflict emotional and physical pain on others on a much larger scale than women, boys and men aren’t taught that it‘s desirable to be different from other boys and men. Rather, they‘re taught that it‘s good, desirable and admirable.
Instead of aspiring to be different — to be better — their focus is on defending men as a whole and excusing or justifying their misbehavior, whereas we‘re told that we must hold each other accountable for the tiniest missteps, especially when they involve men.
Girls and women are taught that their existence (& humanity) in itself is flawed, undesirable and needs to be strictly regulated, judged and altered.
Boys and men are taught that their existence (& humanity) in itself is self-evident, desirable and worthwhile.
That‘s why I put female solidarity and sisterhood above all else.
That‘s why I proudly say that YES, I am like other girls and women. We aren’t a monolith, we‘re individually unique, and yet we share the experience of being female, and we‘re united in our mere existence as women, and we don’t need to put other women and girls above or beneath us, or allow us to be alienated from one another.

Something that’s really been bothering me about all the radblr discourse lately is how fast people are to completely disregard someone due to differing opinions and beliefs. It’s ok to not agree, but we don’t need to rip each other apart and be disrespectful and insulting. Female solidarity is something that’s hugely important that just doesn’t get recognized as such or only does in theory but not in practice. Men will generally defend to the death another man who has done horrendous things or has awful views because at the end of the day it’s still a man and they need to protect their patriarchal view that men are above women. Nobody is immune to criticism but we should be able to critique without ostracizing, it’s one thing to point out flaws in a belief or issues with something without saying “well you aren’t a real radfem so gtfo” and further causing divide and separation when we could and should be promoting solidarity and sisterhood. Even women who are as far away from my views as possible, the most staunchly conservative tradwife who thinks feminism is a bad word, has more in common with me at the end of the day than a “leftist/feminist” man. While I may vehemently disagree with a woman’s beliefs and choices, I’ll still defend her as a woman in a society that wants to see women fail. Resorting to shame and abuse and frankly with some of what I’ve seen extremely patriarchal language and insults, is doing nothing to support the female solidarity that we should be working toward. You don’t have to like everyone, you don’t have to agree with everyone, but you sure as fuck should treat your fellow women with more respect than to degrade them as people because you don’t personally agree with their choices. People here will speak of needing female class consciousness and then completely disregard a woman as “not a real radfem/feminist” because they don’t personally agree, how does that in any way benefit us?

Breasts aren’t just for being sexualized or feeding babies btw. They’re just as much a part of you as the rest of you and aren’t just a lump of fat that protrudes from a flat- default, male- chest. Your breasts are neutral. You don’t have to love them or think they’re the greatest. But realize they aren’t your enemy.

Nothing will electrify you more than talking to likeminded women about a topic you used to think nobody but you cared about.

There are some feminists, often liberals, often so-called radicals, often any, who are disgustingly cruel towards religious or conservative women. I understand the rage and I've felt it plenty of times, but it is so disappointing to see it so exploited in others.
It is a cliché, I know, but people are rarely ever who they seem on a surface level - there is a reason why "the only moral abortion is my abortion" is such a common phenomenon, and that reason is our universal experience of womanhood (or girlhood). These women are not built with such shame or anger. It is taught and built and birthed, the same way it happens with all of us. We have so much more in common with them than we realize, and we cannot go forward in this liberation movement without communicating with each other, without understanding their choices, or without having sympathy.
It is sad seeing very smart women, who have many times read all this theory and all this Dworkin, that cannot bring such concepts to life. Deeds, not words.

how do I tell my straight friend that all her male exes treated her disrespectfully and badly because they never thought of her as a human being in the first place?

Sure, everyone talks about Hera resenting and persecuting other women Zeus has children with, but let's also talk about Themis and Dione, both consorts of Zeus, coming to support Leto on Delos during her labour (Homeric Hymn 3), Maia raising Kallisto's son by Zeus (Apollodoros, Library 3.101), Leto raising a son of Zeus and Europa (Pausanias, Description of Greece 3.13.5), and Artemis and Athena being reared together with Persephone (Diodoros of Sicily, Library of History 5.2.3), which leads me to believe that (at least in this tradition) Demeter and Leto are on good terms and raised their daughters (and Athena) in common.
