Can You Point To The Post Where I Used A Trans Slur? Or Reblogged A Post With A Slur?

Exactly this!

The whole aesthetic thing really is a really dystopian commodification of personalities...

i think the biggest capitalist scam is that you can supposedly buy the real you.

"see these clothes? it shows who i really am! this makeup, too! i need plastic surgery so that my face can look like my aesthetic!"

you don't need to buy your true self, it's in your personality not your appearance

the fact this is an actual fucking sentence is INSANE

this sounds randomly generated

"Women only started working very recently so a woman's place is the house-" shut up and feast your eyes at old photos of women from around the world doing physical labor only for them to return home and solely care for 5-10 children and the elderly parents of their husband.

Greek women represent:

These photos show Greek women doing the type of physical labor they would perform more often than not. At the luckiest working conditions for rural women (aka most of the country) they would start working the fields as children and when they got older they would work the same fields with their own babies on their backs.

On the way home from the fields, sometimes the women would carry the wood and the mule would carry the man so he could rest.

Of course, we can talk about the manual labor that is rubbing cloth and metal for hours on end, chopping and carrying wood to light a fire for a large cauldron your size, and stirring it for hours.

But we can also talk about how it wasn't for them to break and carry rocks in baskets for the making of new roads. They would gather salt, olives, and grapes and carry them on large baskets filled to the brim. For salt they carried thirty kilos each trip, doing fifty trips each, stepping shoeless on the grains of salt.

Carrying water was also their job, often moving large barrels with all the water a house of 10 needed upon hills that horses and mules had trouble ascending.

(more photos for salt mining and carrying here)

It's no hyperbole to say these women carried their incomes and households on their backs. "The good she-housekeeper is a slave and a lady" the old Greek saying goes. A "good woman" was a woman who could be strong and work at home and in the field, often described with the qualities of a mule. Men took their wives out in the fields so much that some who were a bit more educated had to make their husbands sign that they wouldn't ask them to work alongside them in the fields! (source in Greek)

Some of these photos are also from 1970. I'm missing a photo from Leukada showing women carrying baskets of the stones they broke, and I'll add it here when I find it.

Basically, women were out of the house forever. A woman who got to stay home and never perform any labor had some type of privilege (wealth, status etc). Same as the many privileged men around the world who didn't perform any labor at all.

If my posts have helped you in any way consider buying me a ko-fi 💖

I know about the TRA term being a TERF thing, I learned it through radfem spaces and it's just a useful descriptor.

Again you're also putting words in my mouth. To be more clear since, "I hate nazis and im a far-leftist" isn't clear enough. I hate proud boys and any of Trumps "protect women" bullshit, because it's not protecting women, it's just to punish trans and GNC people. They also definitely like gender, they just don't think you can change it. Conservatives also ban abortion and want to pass a bill that doesn't allow many married women to vote. Infinitely worse for women's rights.

Bro I have seen multiple TRAs saying that in response to some TERFs finding it miserable to be a woman because of oppression. Or saying we're just "trans men in denial". Maybe not on a large-scale, but that is what that type of thinking leads to. And no I'm not saying a significant amount of TERFs will transition because of that. Gender dysphoria is a bit like body dysmorphia, it's influenced by outside views of gender and gender roles, like body dysmorphia is influenced by beauty standards. It's not about male vs female brains. That's a sexist idea. Both are caused by patriarchal standards. Both standards are bad.

If bio sex in prison is unimportant, then why even segregate male and female prisons in the first place? The reason I care about prisons is because rape is already common. It's less about average transwomen, more about creeps like chris chan who would take advantage of it. I would say a post-op trans woman should be in the women's prison though.

I don't really worry much about transgender stuff though and women have bigger problems, especially now. However, I am gender critical/abolitionist because gender, even more so with cis people, is a way to keep women down. It's a set of stereotypes and roles, which disadvantages women as a whole, so yes I am against it. Perpetuating the idea that woman=femininity is harmful. It's a bit disappointing when progressive people want to perpetuate it and encourage it too, but I'm aware you aren't the only ones and conservatives are worse.

I don't think trans women are replacing women, that would be insane. Well, once with Dylan Mulvaney, but not as an aggregate. I just think that gender as a construct should be gone and there shouldn't be expectations for people based on their sex, or what sex they appear to be.

Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism

Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"

reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"

Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?

Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing  https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share

What? No. Women get more economic power when they: aren't expected to stop working to have a child or if they get enough maternity leave and affordable pre-k education, when female-dominated fields aren't devalued, when women aren't told they must prioritize men and children over financial independence, etc. You know, all things we have made significant gains in over the past 50 years, but we're still not there yet. These are still the stats and a pretty common situation:

2. Yes? and it provides more bodily autonomy for women.

3. And... what does a group of individuals make up?

4. I would say that almost every political or social movement would beg to differ.

5. Women's shelters for one.

6. Just completely missed the point I guess. Maybe perpetuating the idea that people who look female act one way, and people who look male act another way (in a way that advantages males), isn't great for women or feminism?

7. Pretty simple. A patriarchy is a system that doesn't advantage males over females as a whole. A policy that I didn't mention already is abolishing porn and the sex industry by criminalizing sex buyers, and not the sex workers. Also, requiring women to be included in medical trials. And also, boycott things like makeup, which is functionally useless and just feeds off the idea that women are just meant to be pretty yet women are also not pretty already.

Patriarchy is also often perpetuated through how people are raised, aka male vs female socialization, so working to combat that would help. It's not "just vibes". It's also "don't teach your daughter that math is for men".

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

The cruelty of racist white men.

If you're expecting your employee to fix a mistake that's costing you millions, then they deserve a very significant cut of it.

If they were being fair, they'd ask for half, which would be $9 million. But they didn't even ask for that. They asked for a raise, which would probably be a few thousand a year. And you couldn't even give them that.

pardon my french but the attempting to conflate radfems with the political right is the dumbest fucking thing. like yes, conservatives LOVE socialist radical lesbians who are pro choice, anti nuclear family, pro separatists, anti gender roles. right wingers love witches who are gay and exclude men. jesus fucking christ

when a man does something wrong, whose fault is it?

a. his mother

b. “society”

c. every woman who will never have sex with him

lowkey getting tired of self defeatist blackpill attitudes "the patriarchy will never end" Why not? We went from using boats to rockets in like 200 years but you think men will forever have privilege in society? Why do you think that?
