#i think we need to get back to talking abt feminist ACTIONS over feminist identity

[watermelinoe]

i know i use radfem as a shorthand for the gyns on here who Believe those Beliefs but i think radical feminism is something one does, not an identity, and i think part of our collective problem is that we're all still submerged in the deep fryer that is identity politics

#i don't think of myself as a feminist bc i don't do feminist action #i do... feminist INactions lol. not shaving. not wearing makeup. not growing my hair out. not dating men. #i try to prioritize women in my life and creatively #but to me feminism is activism #i think we need to get back to talking abt feminist ACTIONS over feminist identity #and then ppl maybe wouldn't take it so hard hearing ''this is not a feminist action'' vs hearing ''you are not a feminist'' #should you try to align your life with your beliefs? of course #but also doing non-feminist things is not necessarily cancelling out every feminist thing you do lol it just doesn't work like that
