Anonymous asked:

have you even tried educating your fellow sisters? maybe if you did a call out then they would understand. women rarely ever harm each other in physical or sexual ways so it can be hard for some people to understand. but for the most part, the radical feminism community does speak on these issues. we are for women but not those who go against women.

“fellow sisters”

Collectivist language. One of if not THE main reasons why I don’t agree with radical feminism. Women are individuals. We aren’t “sisters” unless it’s about your real sisters or cousins. 

“women rarely ever harm each other in physical or sexual ways”

Girls who went through early puberty would like to have a word with you. Elementary school girls can be creepy, nasty gremlins when it comes to their classmates development. Hell, even OJAMAJO DOREMI, a children’s cartoon, alluded to this with male AND female classmates making sexual remarks about a girl’s breasts. 

Girls who went to public/government schools would like to have a word with you as well. I have volunteered at government schools for social service, the girls, just like the boys, get into literal physical fights over midday meals. I have seen female children punching, biting, and kicking each other JUST LIKE BOYS. The tendency to get into physical fights is not related to gender, it is related to poverty. 

You keep assuring me that you speak on those issues, but I have yet to see a radfem actually back that up and instead give me meaningless platitudes. You even showed your real intentions in the way you write, you seem to believe that women hurting each other is something that hardly ever happens, when it very much does, especially in extremist circles.

I love how this post that I made five years ago (holy shit has it been that long?) is suddenly blowing up because this is exhibit A of a Girls Girl:

I came across a xiaohongshu post that showed pictures of an abandoned traditional village in a mountainous region of China with very little surrounding greenery that had the captions: “so sad how traditional villages like these are empty and abandoned”

But the top comment was: “I am so happy for the villagers who finally made it out of the mountains and into new homes in prosperous cities. It often takes multiple generations of hard work to get the entire family out. Every family in this village achieved this. What you are looking at is the evidence of their success!”

And the second highest liked comment was: “You can tell this area has poor agricultural resources. The ancestors of the villagers were likely forced to settle here because more powerful villages have occupied the attractive fertile lands. Who knows how long they had been trapped here? I’m glad they finally made it out!”

Another comment with high likes: “My grandparents’ village was like this. Poor air quality from burning coal in poorly ventilated buildings. Bitterly cold in the winter. Dry and hot in the summer. Short growing seasons. And there was always a shortage of water. My parents got factory jobs in the city and after working and saving for years, they finally got all of us out.”

And it occurred to me how when we romanticize old fashioned villages and mourn the loss of the type of community they provided, we sometimes downplay and overlook the extraordinary liberation and agency that industrialization brought and brings to people who in previous generations had no option but to remain where they were born for most of their lives.

Fandom Problem #7103:

I hold A LOT more respect for fans who openly admit they merely want to see two fictional men or women make-out, as opposed to fans who are clearly too stubborn to admit that and go onto long diatribes about how certain ship dynamics only and ONLY work when it's between two men or women, otherwise it's toxic and romanticizing abuse.

It is still funny to me how we went from "NEVER put two men or two women in an enemies to lovers dynamic!" to "That's the only time that ship dynamic works!"

[ID: A digital drawing of Katara and Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Katara sits with her ankles crossed, leaning back on her outstretched arms, while Toph sits behind her and leans on Katara’s knee. They are both wearing modern, casual clothes: Katara has a short sleeved knit blue shirt and high waisted, cuffed mom jeans while Toph is wearing a green ringer tee (and shorts, presumably, but her bottom half is hidden behind Katara). They both have very aloof expressions on their faces, giving off a “We’re chilling but don’t touch us” kind of vibe. End ID.]
