Women were never created from men's ribs, not ever. It is HE who emerges from HER womb. Framing the father as the life giver is a patriarchal lie, it's not true.

the look all the blue haired communist give you when they try their “i’m a non-abled intersex trans woman suffering from a plethora of diseases” excuse to get out of labour :

Why are these people, those who do no or refuse hard or meaningful labour, the face of these economic revolutionary parties?

Men's phrase, "the worst thing she'll do is say no," proves in how much different worlds we live and how much they don't care about our comfort (no they're not blind, they just don't care).

Because it's the truth, isn't it? What else is there to do? Even me as a rabid man-hater and sapphic woman who has been Thai boxing for years, I wouldn't beat and maim them. Why would I do that? First of all, as a woman, a human being, unlike men, I don't see any point in violence.

Even so we rarely say no. Most often it's some stupid excuse like "Oh, I already have a boyfriend/husband". Because men never take "no" as an answer. The only thing that stops them is knowing that you, as a thing, already have another owner. Although that doesn't stop some men. There's a famous phrase: he won't know. Fucking idiots.

And it's kind of dangerous for women to say no. You don't know how these animals will react to rejection. A lot of women after this got stalkers who literally watch their every move. Sometimes refusal can be accompanied by beating, rape, threats and even death.

We live in different worlds. Where for others the worst outcome is "no", for others it's death.

There are SO many stories with this outcome.. i don’t think it’s worth to make your “desired” genitalia, just to experience severe pain and dilation for the rest of your life

Why Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend

Women and their jewellery have a very intricate relationship. The tale of the nagging wife troubling her husband for new jewellery is as old as time. It is a reflection on a woman's vanity. Folk tales mock her ignorance of worldly ways and her frivolous obsession with being adorned. She is redundant to a mere crow that admires shiny things. However, this begs the question, is a woman's desire to collect jewellery as absurd as men paint it to be?

The world has forgotten that until very recently, women were forbidden from owning any form of capital. Be it property, money or even small inanimate objects, they belonged first to her father then her husband. The roof above her could be taken away on a whim with a clock's tick. In these trying times, jewellery emerged as a beacon of financial security for most women of the globe.

Mother of pearls, diamond earrings, gold necklaces etc. were-- although not in print-- under a woman's reign of control. They had an impressive resale value and could last several generations under proper care. More so, they could be secretly sold usually without paperwork to acquire a woman some monetary freedom. If her husband gambled all their assets away, atleast she'll have enough money to put some food on the table for her children.

Jewellery has often times saved people from calamities. Unlike land, jewellery is easier to sell. In case of an emergency, a large sum of money could be obtained without much trouble. Jewellery are an excellent heirloom. The wisdom of grandmothers is passed down to granddaughters to come, allowing them some command over their own life.

Jewellery is a form of investment just like land and shares. Its value is diminished solely due to its association with women. It is not a woman's vice but a survival tactic against the suffocating patriarchy. Jewellery is something she can have under her own name--no matter how small or how futile-- it is her sole capital, her best friend.

Because putting on lingerie immediately makes you a woman? And asking your wife to transition too so everything "can work out well"?

Controversial take: Defining "woman" in terms of a discrete biological group could risk oversimplifying the complex interplay between biology and social constructs.

Men always talk about us being "gold diggers" for only wanting to settle with someone who is financially stable and can afford to live comfortably and yet, why aren't we using the same term for them? They're the ones who look for women to do tons of free EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL labor for them.

Personal: I hate dressing up for parties and gatherings. To spend 2 hours on hair, wear impractical clothing that hurts the skin, heavy earrings that drag my ears, my mother spending so much time on my makeup, just to stand next to a man who is wearing a comfortable tuxedo, gently combed hair, bare faced, no 6 inch heels that can potentially mess up his feet bone structure. so humiliating

Hello, @prayforcourage I made this post because I had abit to say and it wouldn't fit in the comments.

I understand your point, and I agree that it's important to distinguish between being the target of prejudice based on one's own identity and being the target of prejudice based on a false assumption about one's identity.

In the examples you provided, both the straight person who is assaulted because they are mistaken for being gay and the Cis-man who is assaulted because he is mistaken for being a Cis-woman are victims of violence motivated by prejudice.

However, they are not victims of homophobia or misogyny, respectively, because these terms refer to prejudice against individuals based on their actual sexual orientation or gender identity.

im really interested in the revival of riot grrrl; i think its absolutely possible for it to make a comeback, and i could even argue that it never actually went away...i mean, its definitely lost a bit of its edge, but their are bands coming out in its genre and they keep the spirit alive. anyway, the essential thing for the revival is that riot grrrl fixes its previous mistakes. i hate when people try to trivialize its importance because i do think it made a difference in the small span of time that it was really popular, but the main issues were how whitewashed it was, how it mostly focused on middle/upper suburban women, and how it (in my opinion mostly) centered a lot around reclaiming femininity, thereby neglecting gnc women who don't WANT to reclaim it. i found a cool article on black women in the feminist punk movement--specifically how they made their own movement, sista grrrl riot--and these quotes stood out to me. this ones by musician tamar kali brown:

"Being in this urban jungle, I was a different type of girl. I was hearing what they were saying, but I was living in an environment where people were getting stabbed. Riot Grrrl felt like a bubblegum expression. I was bald, and I would get a lot of negative attention that bordered on violence, so I wasn't in the world of [baby voice] 'You just think I can't play because I'm a girl!'

and this one by laronda davis:

"I never looked at a magazine and thought that that was what I was supposed to look like. On one hand, it's actually kind of liberating to not be what this standard of womanhood is. That standard put a lot of women in boxes, and they spend their li[ves] trying to get out of the box. Black women were never allowed in the box. I wasn't looking at TV saying, 'Oh, that represents me.' I wasn't listening to music telling about my experience. I had experiences that told me I wasn't concerned with these things that the happy songs were about."

(article here)

all in all i think what riot grrrl needs to change is its idea of a universal female childhood in their songs that we can all relate to. it kind of sucks to say but really all women do have in common are the stereotypes we're given, and when punk women criticized and defied those stereotypes they really shone; i was reading that people called kathleen hanna writing "slut" on her stomach white feminism and i was like....err. sexualization is something all women are subjected to. i've just been in a bit of a rabbit hole which started when i researched the history of trans people in riot grrrl, then to modern times when i found a claim that kathleen hanna had stopped using the line "all girls to the front" and edited her riot grrrl manifesto, and finally ended here with me thinking "man, riot grrrl's spirit is needed now more than ever, but like we need to make it WAAAAYYY better so it actually works out". the good news is, like i said, it hasn't actually faded out of mainstream consciousness.

i might add on to this in later posts. sorry if it's messy.

Its not a normal female experience to hate being seen as a girl by society this much, and to feel so trapped living as a woman. It's also not normal to hate men and trans people this much, do you think perhaps such hatred could come from jealousy? I feel like you might be a lot happier if you transitioned. Imagine dressing in men's clothing, and being called a guy by your freinds, imagine people who are attracted to men finding you handsome, imagine people complimenting you as you slowly look more and more like a cute boy. I feel like you'd be a happy boy, you'd be a sweet boy, you'd be a handsome boy...

You can acknowledge my problem is because of society, not me.

Why do I have to change myself in order to be treated right?

I feel trapped living as a woman because of the way I am treated for it, not because I am a man deep down. I will always be a woman.

I have identified as a trans man at a young age, I desisted eventually and am so glad I did not go through any medical transition.

The only things I have posted about myself personally (other than talking about abuse) is that I dress masculine, have short hair and dislike the way I have been treated as a woman. All of that must make me a man?

I am already a cute, happy, sweet, handsome woman.

what happened to “I always feel that something wrong with me. oh and yeah, I played with dolls when I was a kid so I know from the very beginning I am trans”?
