I may be late to the party, but I just wanted to say that I agree 1000% with you and everything you say applies not just to that extremist website but to to a lot of white feminists in general, including the many that post on this very site.

Men are also not subject to behavior policing by other men which is what you’re engaging in, you dumb bitch.
Ruin their sex lives by doing the same to them. They owe you this.
Do you worry about how male athletes showing off their bodies hurts other men? Do you see men talking down male athletes who try to market their sex appeal? No you fucking don’t because men don’t negotiate their individuality like women are so willing to do. Instead of answering “how high?” when the patriarchy tells…
This trend of always being on display for the male gaze really feeds the market for revenge porn. We are always admonished to be “empowered” and “sexual” by putting our bodies on display (and taking pictures of it), but these images are also used as punishment by the men who claim to love us when we do something they…
The problem with this line of thinking is that it lays the responsibility solely on women for how men treat them instead of holding men accountable for viewing women as a monolith. This stuff is at the root of respectability politics, and it’s what leads to more serious things like victim blaming women for their…
Thank you. Choice feminism irks me too, but I understand that it exists as a response to women who think that calling themselves feminists gives them carte blanche to regulate every aspect of individual women’s lives and I wish other feminists who instinctively snipe at choice feminism realized this. Both sides need…
Yes. I am a man and a lot of people don’t give a fuck what I think,
Again, these are a man’s opinion informed by my male gaze.
That would completely put me off from sex.
“Wow I am so much more sexually active than you. The sexiest thing a woman can wear would be a hospital gown because that is the easiest thing for me to rip off.”
That says a whole lot more about your view of women than it does about the supposed differences between male sexiness vs female sexiness.
It’s bullshit that men can pose in clearly sexual campaigns and it’s just whatever, but women are forced to choose between making the money/getting the publicity/doing whatever the hell she wants and being taken seriosuly as an actress/feminist/human fucking being.
Ironically she’s not fond of people critiquing her feminism which is why she’ll always get the side-eye from me.
I’ve seen people dismiss the sincerity of Beyonce’s feminism by bringing up things she did/said during the tail end of the Clinton administration, so...
I think parsing what is an is not a representation of the world via the male gaze, and especially women’s bodies in particular, is a thorny issue.
The video (Drunk in Love) showed Beyonce looking and acting very sexy. It was about sex, not about fashion or even about Beyonce’s curves.
Seriously, the premise of this article is extremely problematic. She has no concrete proof that Paris is in fact *not* genetically black but since she merely feels that she isn’t, that’s sufficient enough to deny Paris’ racial identity. Just imagine if it was a white person writing an article about how a white passing…
I don’t get why you spend all your time being so PRESSED over someone who doesn’t even know your existence.
The irony of someone being obsessed with how “real” a celebrity’s pregnancy is calling anyone else vapid.
