I spend my days talking about how we don’t owe anyone, especially men, shit. We don’t need to prove that we can do things and we don’t need to receive validation. But I think during those moments I don’t always mention how seeking male validation is still ingrained in us, because I am scared to admit (and realize) how present it is in my life too. The amount of times I’ve gotten in only talking stages with guys, and kept it going because I loved the attention during moments in my life I had no self-esteem. Because of this I’ve also never developed real feelings for anyone, I cared more to be liked by them. Also, the amount of times I’ve been nervous to go to class with certain teachers (as a college student), because they knew me and knew I was good at the subject they taught, so they very clearly had expectations and I would feel physically ill if I couldn’t meet them. If I couldn’t prove to them how perfect, beautiful, smart I am. I can remember very well how bad it has gotten during the darkest moments in my life, it’s like all I had was to prove my worth to men (but not directly just men, more like society, you probably get me). How do you get over that ? How do you live a life that’s fully for you ? I’m proud of myself for overcoming the hardest moments in life, I feel like this is currently the last big issue that goes on inside my head. I fear a lot of women share this viewpoint. Thank you for listening.

I’m just trying to find my community. Where are you Greek radical feminists??🕵🏻‍♀️👀

As a man I’ve noticed that honestly most men don’t like women and I’m implying that in a romantic and platonic sense they’re feelings of women has been molded by other men in how to be a real man or whatever and honestly the more women that don’t like men the better because a lot of us need to get our shit together and also I hope you all stay safe because me personally I completely understand and sympathize with how the patriarchy has screwed up the lives of women alive or dead and how it’s built shitty men

Excuse my english it’s not my native language.

Every men I ever met are same people with different flavour. It’s like they all are breads. They all cooked by same person in same house in same time. Baker add more salt or flour in some of them but end of the day they all are bread. They have same purposes, same flavour and same texture. Difference isn’t even noticeable if you don’t dig enough. All of them has same hobbies, same jokes. They can’t like or enjoy anything that didn’t “proven to be masculine”. They need other men to tell them what they like, how they live, how to treat their girlfriend, how to act around their family and friends. None of them has any original thoughts that they didn’t steal from other men or ex girlfriends. This even got worse when podcast bros became popular. They’re not even ashamed to be plain anymore. They even take their favourite football teams from their father. How are they even live like that? How can you live with a used template with knowing you have only one life? And don’t even come to me with “not all men” I KNOW there’s men that actually don’t care about labels. But honestly most of their actions are performative. I don’t honestly believe that men actually can break the circle and become their own person.

Women are actually interesting people. When I meet with new women I can’t guess their hobbies, favourite music genres, favourite movies with first impression. It’s easy to guess men’s interests in first impression. Women are layered, we actually do things we enjoy. We trying everything we want to try we don’t care about looking feminine-masculine. Maybe some do but most of us doesn’t. The number of interesting men and not interesting women is the same. And worst part is in the core 99% of the male population are motivated by violence and rage. They enjoy seeing people, mostly women in despair. They want to see people bellow themselves. They don’t live to enjoy and try everything before death. They live to make sure they ruined as much human life as they can. They can’t handle if they’re not the attention center. Which is ironic considering they’re not interesting or special enough to be attention center most of the time. They don’t want anyone happy if not happy for them. All they live to follow other men’s footsteps. Plain simple violent life.

idc for "chivalry" or "gentlemen". I didn't stand firm in my position bc i thought i would be rewarded by patriarchy for being a "good girl" if i get along with this bs and playing dumb to get male approval.

Basically if men are to play the hero, we have to pretend to be more stupid or less competent than we really are because competent still means "masculine". Women who are meek, or cowardly will get along with fellating men's ego. I just stopped being such a woman, because i realize the price to pay is worse. Being considered "feminine" isn't the privilege or price it's made out to be. It also has a racial dimension, since it exists on a spectrum.

It's nice to get help from strangers or randos when you asked for it, but when you didn't, it's just annoying interference. Like random guys trying to help you carry smthg when you didn't ask, or rushing to open a door when you could've done it yourself, or speaking up to ask for somethign when you have a mouth of your own. It's honesty demeaning and invasive af. I always feel like there's this overbearing male presence (is this patriarchy ??) above me regardless of what i do. Benevolent and hostile sexism are just 2 sides of the same patriarchal coin. I just ignore/avoid those men or decline the offer when they ask.

I have no problem relinquishing these so-called "services", as the title says, i want to be treated like a "human being" not like a "lady" to hell with that lmao.

What are some radical Feminist news sites and podcasts that report on relevant news to the female condition? I'm looking for at least 12 news sites and 10 podcasts. They don't have to be in English or be exclusive to the west. If you don't want to post it here, you can DM me.

So far I have • Reduxx • 4W.pub • Total Woman Victory

I'll be honest. I don't think leftists will be the revolutionaries this time around. I don't know who it will be, but it won't be them. You cannot achieve a liberatory politic when you're steeped in defeatism and victimhood.

Today's leftists are the equivalent of hippies who sit on the couch or run out into nature to get high, and repeat the mantra "the system's so fucked maaaaaan"—while doing absolutely nothing about it.

They complain about absolutely everything, while doing as little as possible to fight the system/society they claim is so fucked up, and that they hate so much. What do they think the system is? A bunch of machines?

These are comprised of PEOPLE with the same weaknesses we have, they just have more protections. They fail to see how little we have left to lose.

When my professor said that the citizens of Athens had strong sense of fellowship and community, I imagined a country that hinged on a visible and clear sense of fellowship and community. I then remembered that this entire group was composed of men who were part of the military, and then I imagined a military nut incel podcast taking place in a large auditorium.

The more I go through college, the more I recognize just how easy men are to fool. Instead of studying politics they listen to podcasts by failed comedians who want to give their shitty takes on topics that require some education to fully grasp. If any of you have children, please encourage them to take an educated stance on politics. Running into bad actor after bad actor is going to set society so far back, we cannot possibly hope to educate people on radical feminism if the average person still genuinely believes that the right for women to vote was there because men agreed on it.

New to feminism,most texts about this subject focuses on highlighting the historical oppression faced by women, although they are important, it's not something I don't know,i want a text or a book that actually works like a guide on WHAT WE CAN DO, how to we free ourselves from biases and patriachal brainwashing,how to promote rad fem etc.

Sorry for bad english

I posted an excerpt from Mary Daly's book that says the only way to heal is to become complete human beings, that's it's not just intellectual gymnastics but it's spiritual and demands an awakening on the part of women.
I don't think former me was capable of loving anyone before i had a spiritual awakening. I didn't like myself nor others. I searched for love everywhere, in my relationships with others, in material things, in everything outside myself. But once you start spending time with yourself, getting to know yourself and looking inward. You'll find you're coming into contact with your own divinity, and that's where unconditional love comes from.
It's not coming from an outside source. Ever since i turned to God, i don't have this hole inside my chest anymore. I've been starting to embrace my masculine energy more lately, as i found myself circling back to the same issues.
Lack of self-confidence, self-loathing, comparing myself to other women. It got triggered by a guy i had a crush on. It was the catalyst for all those feelings of self-hatred to come into the surface so that i could finally deal with them.
I went through a lot of abuse, and didn't think i would be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel, but thanks to God, i'm finally able to move forward.
I used to see this humiliating experience of crushing on a guy, and confessing it to him and then being turned down as a bad thing, but it actually opened my eyes on the areas i still lacked self-love.
Having self-love also means embracing the "ugly" in yourself imo. I always had a lot of pent up rage and anger, and didn't want to externalize it bc being an angry woman meant beign desirable, unappealing (since your face constrict when you're angry), and masculine. But it's the opposite of self-love to repress those feelings.

And not for the reasons you think....

I am on the 5th episode of season 1 and so far the only scene I liked was when of the handmaids run a car over a security guard.

To me the lack of resistance is depressing. Like, how would an entire society let things get to that point without even resisting? I would rather be murdered with a gun in my hands than to be raped every month by an oppressor, better to die free and with dignity than to live a life of servitude.

Not to mention the corny romance history of the main character with a married cheater and then later with the driver, ofc there had to be romance... Sigh.

Maybe it gets better as it goes on, but so far find it sad. I liked much better the movie "Army of Crime" about the French resistance, when the dude placed the Karl Marx Communist Manifesto with a bomb inside a club full of nazi dudes, now that was orgasmatic (and based on real events).

does something stupid "I'm just a girl 😝"

No your dumb and are giving men a reason to continue hating us.. just admit you could never be bothered learning things yourself and stop generalising women I've never had a problem teaching myself how to fix things or simply asking for advice or watching a YouTube video

curious what people on here have to say about the relationship between singleness, i.e. women electing to not be in relationships with men, and the abject failure of men to measure up to women over the past 2 generations. we’ve seen women dominate in intelligence, leadership, empathy, everything under the sun with the advancement of, but not full extent of, our human rights. what do you guys think the declining marriage rate has to do with this? how do you interpret declining birth/marriage rates with a radical feminist lens?

for context, i’m taking a class on single women in history and culture and much of the class is libfem. i’m interested to see what radfems closer in line with my beliefs think.

I wanted to share an incredible podcast episode from Matriarchal Voices featuring the fearless and thought-provoking activist, Safah Hussain. Safah is a radical feminist from India who doesn’t just talk about change—she demands it. Her unapologetic, no-nonsense approach to feminism dives deep into the issues women face in India and globally, offering solutions that can truly make a difference

What really struck me is how Safah speaks from a place of deeply connected divine femininity. Her insights cut through the performative aspects of liberal or choice feminism and go straight to the heart of the matter. We need more voices like hers to move beyond surface-level advocacy and into actionable change.

Safah believes that women are divine beings with untapped power, and she challenges all of us to address our subconscious programming, support each other, and reclaim dominion over the world. It’s refreshing and motivating to hear someone articulate this so boldly and authentically.

I genuinely think this episode has the power to shift perspectives and ignite meaningful conversations. It’s on YouTube now, with a Spotify release coming soon.

📺 Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID_fFgLMGZ0

Give it a listen and let’s discuss! What are your thoughts on her ideas and the actionable steps we can take to support a matriarchal future?

The suffragettes rallied around the goal of the women's right to vote, and won. Many other legal successes followed. If we limit this discussion to laws effecting romantic heterosexual relationships, examples of such legal successes are:

• Reproduction rights ( battle still going on, obviously)
• The ability to leave bad relationships, via no-fault divorce, social security, alimony rights, shelters for abused partners, making rape a crime even in marriage, and custody laws.

What are our feminist current, actionable, positive goals FOR government policies for romantic relationships ? Most would agree on

• forcing employers to provide not only maternal, but also parental leave for dads.
• government subsidized good quality child care.

What else? How about, for instance:

• A governement run version of Tinder that would prevent daters from misrepresenting themselves. People who want to use the app, have to present real ID and the app lists data on married ( or joint-tax-filing) and employment status, criminal record, etc. The app would dole out consequences for all the bad behavior that currently makes the dating apps such a nightmare. the app would have a (well thought out) reputation system, punishing bad behavior and (hopefully) narcissistic traits. Allow strict search parameters, but also give psychologically useful information prompts that would make daters more realistic in their wants, and just better at dating.
• To combat household chores inequality, the government could design a mandatory online survey for all couples to do with the annual tax-filing. The survey would make each partner list in detail the division of domestic, emotional and mental labor, and the app would calculate the hours spent, the value of those, and flag the inequality if present. These data would have to be approved by the other partner, hopefully leading to good discussions.

Any other ideas?

Women score higher in IQ scores than men

Women are significantly outpacing men in university degree obtainment

Young men's unemployment rate is significantly higher

It turns out that when men and women in this day and age have as much rights as you do(and yet still isn't equal!), you kick men's asses while they whine about how emasculated it makes them feel.

Young women now no longer need to rely on men for finance and homeownership and in just 2 generations women got better at it than they did. I just want to say. I am glad I have been on women's side from the beginning. Almost all of the violence, harassment and bullying I have faced for being genderqueer had been from boys and men. Men are more likely to kill themselves usually because they either can't feel like a real man if they can't make women "submit" to them or because he has had his soul broken for being gender non-conforming, women and girls have always accepted and celebrated me. I never understood men's compulsion to always assert dominance and get this sleezy satisfaction out of having authority over women. I love authority from women. There's less discrimination, more co-operative teamwork because there's less battle for dominance of the discussion. Women also have better leadership qualities than men

I love bringing up these points to misogynists every time they say "Men are better leaders", "Women are naturally submissive", "Men are more disciplined" etc.

I'm glad you made it women. Just know that some men are here cheering with you. I hope 30 years from now women are running the show so the economy isn't in shambles, sexual harassment and discrimination will be dealt with properly, the world is safer and fairer for queer people, abortion is legal and men will be going around making their female workers coffees like secretaries in the 60's used to 😂

why don't we start putting up photos of people who rape women around town with the word rapist written on it to let the entire community know what their really like to hold people who otherwise wouldn't of been held accountable accountable because if we do that it will deter rape which will truly help women which is what feminism is all about

i just had a loong mental breakdown over news from my country. a little girl was brutally murdered by a male last year, and today i learned that after he had been beaten by his inmates, he will now get the treatment of a separated stay in prison. i know this isn‘t how a democracy works, but it‘s so fucking unfair. he deserves more of this.

anyways, so re-reading about the incident really took me out. i can‘t help but cry everytime a new femicide happens, and they happen A LOT. everyday. every hour. every minute, potentially. i just feel like the people around me don‘t get the same amount of anger and despair around violence towards women. and it‘s always people who do (rightfully so) get emotionally invested in other political areas.

i feel so alone, furious and helpless sometimes. it‘s like people don‘t want to see women‘s suffering.
