Isnt It Retarded How Most Of Society Is Sex Obsessed? It's Like They Never Got Out Of Their Teenage Phase

The whole "if we don't fuck males they're gonna Handmaid's Tale us" argument directly contradicts "men didn't give us our rights, we fought for them". You either have the power and strength to resist males and fight for your liberation or you don't. Stop depending on the government or the arbitrary mercy of males to give you the kiddie rails you apparently need to be a free woman in society.

Some people have love for humanity, but no compassion for it, no real empathy for human beings that goes beyond the surface level and superficial. Being a misanthropist with compassion is better than being a philanthropist who thinks that there is ultimately nothing fundamentally wrong with the world, who thinks it's okay if all the horrors that humans are subjected to continue to persist, because they think "everything balances out in the end" or because "everything happens for a reason" or some shit. Like I'm sorry, but we definitely tolerate toxic positivity and allow it to masquerade as healthy optimism out of a fear of ever validating anything that seems "too edgy" way, way too much. At some point a desire to only think normal thoughts that aren't cringe turns into intellectual cowardice and moral laziness, and you've definitely reached that point if your attitude towards the abundance of heinous suffering in this world is just, "oh gee well that sure is unfortunate, but you know, ultimately life is beautiful and everything is okay, and none of that stuff really matters in the grand scheme of things, life is still inherently good, etc. etc."

If there is no form of suffering so heinous to you that you would rather vaporize the planet than allow it to continue for one more day, then I'm sorry but you are someone with a hollow and performative affection for your species. Valuing the mere absence or presence of human minds over the actual experiential quality of the lived realities of real humans will always be oonga boonga brain shit to me, I'm sorry. Like your primal drive to support the species' survival is dampening your higher moral functioning. I would rather live in a world where there's just three clones named Sally who are immortal and always happy, than live in a world where millions of people are enduring unspeakable horrors every single day, sorry. "The beauty of life" and "the wonderful tenacity of the human spirit" mean nothing to me when there are people living their entire lives in slavery and little girls are getting gangraped to death. The fact that people regularly take their own lives because their pain is so unbearable that they'd prefer to just cease existing should tell us all we need to know about the value of quantity vs. quality on this issue. Life itself is not inherently good any more than anything else is, and more life does not automatically equal more value and goodness. If you see nothing wrong with throwing new people into this world despite knowing what it could have in store for them, what potential fates they, or their children, could endure, then you only love humanity in the way you love coffee or a good book. You love the idea of humanity. The ideal of humanity. What humanity represents to you. You love humanity as a concept, not as a collection of individual human beings with thoughts and feelings.

Nobody on radblr ever goes "hm. female socialization is so prevalent and suffocating that certain women will rebel against it and look down on women perpetuating it. We need to be considerate of them too. #all women are my sisters"

It only gets mentioned in the context of "be considerate and say nothing against str8 momma #16781265829^10 who is doing everything patriarchy wants her to even if it's throwing you under the bus"

hm. so interesting

Your post about reading is so true and I’m thankful you made that post. Yeah I literally think an illiterate woman somewhere in a shitty country that fights for womens rights/education and fights with all her might to not get married and doesn’t care about femininity is better than tunglr radfems that say they read theory and talk about dick a little extra when a post triggers them

Yup girl. You don't need theory to fight for your rights. Clearly theory doesn't automatically mean you're gonna come to the right conclusions

There’s various stripes of politicians all over the west who are clamoring for childless adults to have restrictions on their political eligibility, voting rights, and pension payments. No two days go by without some form of fearmongering article about birth rates and/or labor shortage.

Today already childless people pay more taxes for a multitude of services and institutions that will never, ever, benefit them, but pays for people whose more or less explicit motivations for reproducing often do include child benefits. Actually single and childless americans are the only population who can be taxed into poverty from their low wages. There are benefits are only available to poor Americans under 25 only if they have a child.

In my country, childless people cannot bestow an orphan pension on anyone (if they are married they cannot increase the widow/er ’s pension either) with the money they saved up, so that money goes back to the pension fund’s pool to pay off longer lived people, or the spouses and children of other deceased (I am definitely taking my pension, if it still exists, and if it’s still legal by then, in lump capital payment over monthly payments for these reasons lol)

Depending on your country’s exact statutes it may not be discrimination yet but it will be in our lifetimes. Everything is moving that way.

Women who protect dangerous men are almost as dangerous as the men they protect. There are women who know their husbands/brothers/fathers have committed sex crimes against women, and stay silent in the presence of other women. They don’t warn other women of their male relatives’ predatory behavior, allowing their pervy male relatives to get close to women who don’t know any better.

Blaming women for any part of their oppression is misogynistic. Yes women are the guard dogs of the patriarchy, but because their life is on the line if they don't

lack of accountability is our biggest issue these days. we don't move past the guilt, we don't ground ourselves in our free will, we don't let ourselves be moved. we just feel guilty, suppress it, numb it, talk ourselves out of it. and continue in the same old ways we deep down know are wrong. but you are not a victim of your guilt, your guilt is merely a sign.
