Remember, EM POC only!

How are you all doing? Anything exciting you wanna share? Anything you wanna share that’s not so exciting but rather frustrating instead?

Spill it all here, comrades.

    This is what I’d say about mainstream liberal feminists who have not even the slightest sense of materialism or understanding of feminist theory.

    I’m a cisshit hetero guy. Not to toot my own horn, but I find myself being more radical on women’s issues than a lot of women. There’s a large number of “”“feminists”“”" who say things that promote rape culture, ignore obvious signs of sexism, using sexist words, etc. And the slut shaming. Holy shit. It’s so ingrained into lib brains I don’t know if you could even take it out by scooping out gray matter with a spoon.

    I’m preaching to the choir, but “Believe all women, unless it’s a woman who was assaulted by a man we like (such as Biden or Clinton), in which case fuck her she’s a liar.” And putting conditions on when a person can have an abortion (there should be zero prerequisites).

    Sgdyudjdxixcuufudisbrhudsiosjsiaj it’s all so tiresome.

      That was exactly what radicalized to an unfixable level honestly, was watching a social movement made to address the most monstrous excesses of patriarchy get totally fuckin scuttled the minute it tried to turn its gaze to the political arena. People I’d seen fucking howling about all kinds of Hollywood and Silicon Valley elites suddenly went silent the minute Tara Reade started talking.

      And that’s just the silent ones! That’s not talking about the men and women who went straight piranha, accusing her of all kinds of skullduggery and deception; all the way to the point that she had to flee to Russia the same way Snowden did. That was simultaneously the day any last ‘blue’ drained out of me, and the day that I stopped trusting liberal women; especially the white ones. Started sounding to me like the kind of misleaders we have; the ones that don’t want to change the system, but just want to sit on top of it.

      Led to my mantra, regarding women and how I interact with them. “Unless your feminism looks like that of bell hooks, Ion’t want to hear it.”
