I hate men I hate them all. Like legit hate. It doesn't mean I'm going to be rude or agressive towards them, but my patience is really running low. I get pissed at them very very easily. I used to be one of those feminists who thought that hating men was discrediting the cause, that we had to be nice in order to make them listen. But now I understand that this is not going to work. We try so hard to explain, use statistics to demonstrate our point and they still pretend they don't understand. The truth is men know. They know this world isn't fair to women and THEY DON'T CARE, AS LONG AS THEY KEEP THEIR PRIVILEGES. THEY DON'T CARE BECAUSE DEEP DOWN, THEY GENUINELY BELIEVE THEY ARE SUPERIOR TO US. I'm sorry for putting all men in the same basket, but I am just exhausted because truth is you never know if you can trust a man. The Dominique Pelicot case is the perfect exemple. That man was married for 40 f*cking years and decided one day to let more than a hundred men rape his wife. When you are a woman, you can't even trust your own husband.

Men are so privileged. I can't even walk down the street without feeling uncomfortable because of how they stare at me. I am scared of getting raped, killed or disfigured with acid by one of those monsters. I am a feminist because in this world, every 2:30 minutes, a woman gets raped. Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by her husband. Because women are prey to men they don't even know, doing something so common as walking down the street. Men never take women seriously. They never listen to women and always find a way to be critique of them, even their own girlfriends and wives. We get payed less. We get interrupted all the time. We get explained stuff we know by men who know nothing, like we are dumb or something. We post a pic on social media and they get out of their ways to make us feel bad about ourselves, calling us mid, fat of ugly. Mothers have to work and take care of the house and children, and are exhausted and depressed by the time they reach 40 y/o.

And everytime I try to explain that to a man he starts to whine like a f*cking sissy about how sad he is because of a system HIS OWN KIND SET UP. A system HE IS PROFITING OF 99% OF THE TIME. Whines about not getting dates, girls not being interested in him (because ofc he doesn't attract women because all of them suck, not because HE DOESN'T RESPECT THEM). Whines about not getting invited on yachts (as if getting invited on an unknown man's yacht isn't likely to result in rape). Whines about how men go to war, or work hard demanding jobs like construction workers (hello?? Women have been litteraly fighting for years to get into those fields, and even when they do they have to deal with coworkers not taking them seriously and dimissing them at every occasion). It's just pathetic how far up their asses they can be. Claiming they are the strongest when they litteraly grow up with a silver spoon of privileges in their mouths while girls suffer. They are so self centered, pathetic little suckers and I wish they weren't there, because I am genuinely convinced that they are the root of everything wrong in our society and that the world would be much more safe and peaceful without them. Honestly if there was a country without men I would pack my bags asap.

A lot of feminists say that misandrist women don't want to hurt men, and just want to avoid them as much as possible, but I find that's not the case for me. I would of course never hurt a man but it feels good to imagine it sometimes. I know there is something wrong with me and don't worry, I'm seing a therapist. I just think that I've been brought to my breaking point you know? I'm so f*cking tired. Anyways I just needed to vent.

I will end this speach by saying that of course I have males friends (2 in total and one of them is gay) out of like at least 30 close friends. That's the maximum I can stand. I usually get along fine with men at school (I am a social butterfly golden retriever type of girl, you would truly never suspect how angry I am on the inside if you met me lol), but I never get close to them because I either get disappointed or they develop crushes on me and I would rather die than date a man (I'm going to be single forever and that's fine). Rest assured I will never really hurt a man, this is just an extreme vent because again I am so, so tired (at 25 y/o heh what is it going to be when I reach 50).

Hi, my mom and I were talking about mothers who would choose their babies over themselves during childbirth. Like if a woman were actively giving birth and the doctor was like "we have to either save you or the baby", my mom thinks that every mother would say "kill me, save the baby." I think this is so anti-feminist and I want to prove to her that there are plenty of women who would 100% save themselves over the baby, like myself. What do you think about this? Would love to hear from real mothers (as I am not one which is why my mom thinks I just don't understand).

A summary of work done by the Ivana Hoffmann Brigade in New York City:

Over 3000 pamphlets about the Brigade distributed at over 30 subway stations in poor and working class neighborhoods;

Over 1000 revolutionary and revolutionary feminist posters, 11x17, bilngual, posted in public places in poor and working class neighborhoods in four of the five boroughs

First issue of Avasin, a PDF zine, produced and sent to around forty recipients.

Posters and pamphlets left at feminist and independent bookstores and community centers throughout the city

A small but significant number of women sent emails to the Brigade email.

And coming in Jnauary: a whole new set of revolutionary feminist posters to be posted and distributed throughout the city plus expanded subway distribuiton of pamphlets.

Go to any bookstore and there are hundreds of titles in the self help section about how to overcome love addiction and fear of abandonment and the like, and while there are plenty of books for women about how to deal with commitment resistant, impossible men - ‘smart women, foolish choices’ for instance - there is not one book addressed to men about how to work out their own damn problems with relationships. No book for men about how to get over fear of commitment, how to learn to open one’s heart, how to stop running from emotional involvement - I know, because I searched high and low for such a thing with my ex boyfriends and it doesn’t exist.

Do you know why?

Because it doesn’t need to. Men don’t have to change the way they sexually assess women, the way certain triggers and indications of female power or feminine weakness may frighten them off. They don’t have to because we women will always learn how to behave.

As Ellen Willis puts it: “feminism has transformed women’s consciousness without, as yet, transforming society, leaving a gap between what many of us demanded of a relationship and what most men were willing to give.”

This is more of a rant type post LOL but i think one of the biggest contributing factors towards my feminist radicalisation way back when i was 13 was when i realised boys/men absolutely hate, and i mean HATE women who have opinions, specifically opinions that differ from their own. I did a presentation in year 10 about 6 years ago about intersectional feminism for my class and every single boy in the room booed me, rolled their eyes, laughed…you name it, i knew from then that they couldnt tolerate in their stupid brains a woman with an opinion. Ever since then i saw it all the time. I am quite an outspoken person anyways, purey because of the way i was brought up to speak up when something isnt right, but as soon as i became more radicalised they hated me even more. And the thing is its not even specific to just talking about feminism, its everything. Men want a woman who will sit by and say nothing or just nod and say “yes” to everything they say and it infuriates me beyond belief, i hate everything from having to “mansplain” shit i already fucking know to me, to treating me like im thick. But yeah i became 1000 times more radicalised when i realised that they hate a woman that they can’t control or decieve like some fucking robot. I hate men.

I’d like to connect with more radfems without any transphobia involved. It would be nice.

some context, i’ve been used by the male gaze for too long, even now my job requires a lot of “looking pretty” things that don’t let me fully escape from it, i also had bfs and affairs with men, but it always disgusted me, this year i found out i was a lesbian, i’ve had experiences with women before. i had a gf. and though i was bi, then my best friend cheated on her bf with me, and i just let her, of course at the end she chose him, and that created an insecurity in me, now, im trying to cut off any romantic interaction with men because i want to stand on my point, but im talking with a girl, and she is posting things like “ i don’t know why i trusted him he is a man” and such, referring she is dating men while she talks to me, that makes me upset

i feel so bad, even when i try to stay away from men they find a way to upset me, i don’t want to focus on them but i don’t like that she is doing this, it kinda makes me not want to date bi woman, but it may be an extreme take

Hello, i'm 17f yesterday i was watching a movie (the movie was "old dads") and every time there was a racist/sexist "joke" and portrayal of stereotypical wokism or feminism. He then yelled at me when i tried to explain that it's not okay to laugh about such thing that opressed so many people and still do. He said i knew nothing about opression. But he know damn well i've been sexually harassed at school. I know that as a white woman i unfortunately have more privilege than people of color. But it dosent change the fact that our main opressors are men.

Sorry for the yapping, or if it didn't made much sense. Feel free to delete this post if it don't allighn with the subject : )

Have you found increasingly it's difficult to be friends with women who aren't in solidarity?

Hi! I hope you are all doing great. So, I'm still new to feminism. Mainly radical feminism. It's like stepping into a whole new world. It's eye opening but very soul crushing. It's so hard.

For the background, I'm an 18 year old Muslim from Pakistan. I have been bombarded with Islamic values all my life. My household is built on these values. Now that I don't agree with these values, I find it hard to spend time with my family. They are not evil people. But since I don't agree with them, I find it hard to not resent them.

For instance, my mother forces me to cover up Infront of my brother. I usually wear modest clothes ( which I'm okay with ) but she urges me to wear a scarf even in home all the time. If I try to argue against it, she stops talking to me. Every time I'm lacking somewhere in studies, they threaten to get me married. I can't help but notice that my mother loves my brother more and it crushes me.

It's so isolating. All of my friends are male centered. They will die for a speck of their attention. I feel so alone and miserable. I can only take out my resentment in journals and reddit.

I know this might be a lot and I'm lucky that I have a right to education but why must the woman be stripped off her rights? Aren't we humans? Why?

Why am I expected to serve the very same men who hate me( consciously or subconsciously).

Women around me- why do they lack self respect. What is this hell that I'm living on? I have to walk on egg shells so I can still have my rights. I can still fucking study. I'm beyond disgusted.

Everytime my father or brother say something misogynistic- I immediately want to throw up. Immediately. How can these people love me when they don't even respect who I am?

Also, I have come to this observation that one of the worst men I have encountered are Indian or Pakistani. Just lunatics. I seriously don't want to get married here.

All I feel everyday is disappointment. Sometimes I wish I never got into feminism, maybe i would have been happy. Even if that was a fallacy.

I submit to the readers of this site five basic ideas of revolutionary feminism. Comments are welcome.

women are an oppressed class

youth are an oppressed class

all oppressed classes have the right to make revolution

the revolution will be feminist or it will not be

revolutionary violence will be necessary for the destruction of the patriarchy

 las mujeres son una clase oprimida

las jóvenes son una clase oprimida

todas las clases oprimidas tienen el derecho hacer una revolución

la revolución será feminista o no será

la violencia revolucionaria será necesaria por la destrucción del patriarcado

“Feminists” in r/Feminism or some other women-centered subs are all high and mighty when it comes to calling other women on having internalized misogyny for following religions’ indoctrination, for being pro-life or for voting for Trump,…But then coming up with excuses when they perpetuate patriarchal norms themselves.

Like “I take my husbands’ last name because my name is too short, too long, not unique enough, not common enough, my father is abusive, my great grand father was abusive, bla bla”. How is that different from maybe a woman who says she only listen to men because most women she knows are bad leaders? Or women who believe “abortion is murder” because people actually abort female fetuses for being female in their countries? They’re both personal and “rational” reasons.

Choice “Feminists” argue that things like having plastic surgeries or being SAHM, or…are individual decisions that affect no ones. Bruh one woman voting for Trump also did not make him president-elect or one woman preaching wives should submit to husbands also did not create religions. It is when a ton of women have done and keep doing those by hearing from each other and looking at each other. Yes, when your daughters and nieces see you have a boob job “for yourself” or financially depend on a man because “you love cooking and cleaning” the cycle repeats.

Of course no one is perfect, not everything a feminist does should be for feminism movement as a whole. But at least admitting that whatever you do rooted in patriarchy is perpetuating patriarchal values, and stop making excuses. If feminists can’t even do self-reflecting, how can they expect misogynists to do so!?

Edit: I thought manspreading and invading communities are things for men and trolls, TIL they are also for choice “feminists” as well! Cheers to women in male-dominated fields!

Hello, this is my first post here (english is not my first language so i won't write much).

I was wondering how much patriarchy is rooted on our culture and influence what we like(for exemple medias, clothing choice and such)

I want be be know if i really do thing for myself or if i just do it because of sociétaires standards.

Anyway have a good day/night <3

Hi everyone,

There’s a lot of debate about whether plastic surgery can be seen as a form of “feminist self-care,” where women take control of their bodies, or if it’s more about reinforcing patriarchal beauty standards.

From your perspective, can plastic surgery ever be a form of genuine agency, or is it primarily a reflection of systemic oppression?

I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts on this.

Thank you !

Maybe im a hypocrite, i’ve been in a relationship with a man for almost 2 years now, i am 20 and he is my first boyfriend and to be completely honest, I think if we ever broke up he would be my last. He is the exact opposite of a “typical” man, never watched porn, doesnt use derogatory language and is exactly the kind of man a woman like myself with very strong radfem values would want to date. I struggle immensely however with maintaing friendships with men. I just cannot do it. He is the only man i’ve met (bar my gay best friend lol) who isn’t essentially a peice of shit be that publicly or privately. I feel like this is probably the same for most radfems, but my boyfriend asside I actively seek to avoid friendships or any kind of contact that isn’t necessary with men. I do find some of his friends hard to get along with because i clock anything they say that i think is inappropriate/misogynistic even if it seems trivial. Just wondered what everyone else’s opinions are on friendships as women with men and if they can ever really be sustained?

So I grew up with an over-involved abusive mother and I see that in the radfem community that Women should live together in communities. Which is good and all, until I brought up my story on how I [and possibly many more women] might feel uncomfortable due to our past abuse. And they belittled me, laughing at my abuse and many more Women there said that maternal abuse is a result of patriarchy and that I should just forgive her. What are your thoughts on this? I'd like a description. Thanks ❤️ [This was on tumblr btw]

If you're from an under-developed or developing country you must constantly hear about the conditions of women in a developed country. "They've achieved gender equality! Women there don't have to fight for their rights or freedom as much as we do! They don't need feminism anymore!" This is probably the biggest fucking lie told to women of this generation.

If you're a woman from a first world country who thinks that your country is "one of the good ones" please stop lying to yourself and come back to reality. Your country is only developed in terms of technology, not progressive. If your country is truly equal for all we wouldn't have to see horrifying crimes committed against women and traditions harming women to this day from South Korea, Japan, Australia, France, Germany, Ireland, etc.

Misogynists love spreading a false narrative on how modern women don't need feminism anymore, just know that if you hear bullshit like this you're still far from achieving true equality. I'm tired of hearing how free women are in other nations because they can get a PhD or go to a beach wearing a two-piece. Literally talk to any random man about wanting more equality and he'll go "Why so women can parade naked on the streets?" That's what their minds go to because they don't fucking know what feminism is about.

(Most) Men all over the world share the same patriarchal mindset, just ask two men from two different continents about what they think of women and they'll repeat the same sexist rhetoric you hear everywhere. Men in developed countries are not more respecful of women because they see them as humans, but because they have extensive laws protecting women. Literally the one thing keeping these men from committing horrendous crimes is a fear of going to prison, not basic empathy or morality.

And it's so easy for a nation to fall back in progress. Just look at Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, USA, and many more places which might soon meet this exact fate. I just want all women to embrace that angry feminist stereotype and keep preaching about equality and intersectionality, no matter how equal or progressive your country may be. Your silence gives these bigots more power to shift the narrative and paint you as the villain.

I’m so fed up with being disrespected by men the instant i don’t give it up easily or criticize their inherently sadistic values,like genuinely it feels like all they know how to do sometimes is insult you when they don’t get what they want. This has happened twice this past week and its filling me with such visceral rage because i genuinely cannot comprehend why so many men feel entitled to my body and kindness,one even went as far as talking about assaulting me when i voiced not wanting him. It’s so hard to not sink into severe misandry when i’m faced with male aggression anytime i turn one down. Like,do they genuinely think we’ll believe we are ugly putrid people just because they said it to us after we rejected them? I’ve even had plenty go as far as racism,making fun of me being a recovering addict,and threatening to challenge my future in college over being told no. Have men always acted this entitled or has anyone else noticed an increase in their sensitivity?
