🧵 Contrary to popular opinion on this site, radical feminism does *not* frame men and women as innately "evil" and "good," respectively. What it does is present a dominance model, whereby men are *empowered* to commit sexual and physical violence to uphold male supremacy. (1/7)

@CCanuck4 Yeah, liberals are male supremacist too, I know. How do you feel about #MeToo?

the "only two" is sending me

@givereceipts Yeah, people just use it to claim that women secretly and naturally like being abused, or to tell you that you should LibERaTe yOUrSeLF through 'safely' exploring it and making it even worse.

@CCanuck4 Dude, I have had trad Catholics literally stalk and sexually harass me here for being a radical feminist 'prude' before.

@inqueything Yeah, if people understood that pornography is expressly intended as a tool of sexual degradation, it would make sense to them why this happens, but they have to pretend it's hypocrisy instead.

@Inferno_hedon Yeah, personally I'm lucky and have never faced real familial pressure, though unless you're in an incredibly coercive environment with arranged marriages, it'd still technically be possible to disappoint them forever. Though I can't imagine it'd be easier than just telling them.

@xamethystbatata @iguessbtch @fru1typunch You're literally pulling up two stereotypes (biphobic lesbian and lesbian TERF) as your examples, and the first makes sense in context but the second one is not really innocent if it's the first thing you think of.

@CYBURSPRITE You don't sound like you unironically identify as a misandrist, though. (I was going to say that I didn't think people who understood the structural issues and then made an informed decision to date men would normally call themselves misandrists, but then didn't bother lol.)

@xamethystbatata @iguessbtch @fru1typunch The breakdown between bisexuals and gay people in terms of transphobia is literally the same--there are discrepancies by gender (women are more accepting), but it's a homophobic myth that the numbers are worse for gay people.

@moidphobia444 @EOpsych @glitteryfem Granted, sexual harassment is part of your modus operandi so I'm hardly surprised nobody thinks this is a problem.

@11ll11llll11ll @silenthill2_fan @glitteryfem We can talk about why y'all think it's cool to use rape fetish porn as a gotcha against someone who's anti-porn. Why would I ever be okay with porn, much less rape fetish porn?

@RonBollard @AlanaFeral It's not really surprising that people who impeccably never bothered to codify Roe see anything involving gender as a side issue.

The whole point is that heterosexuality as it exists under patriarchy is hierarchical--it's about providing men with status and labor. Partaking of it and seeing women as inferior are very compatible. If you're a "misandrist," it's due to this phenomenon! So why still date them?
