Let me guess, you consider yourself a “radical feminist”, which means victim-blaming, whorephobia, and bitching about how women of color (and maybe all women) who don’t follow your arbitrary rules about physical appearance, who disagree with your stances on sexuality, or who have money due to capitalism don’t count as…

Is it really considered cultural appropriation for American-born people of color to use imagery or symbols from the continents or countries of their ancestors in performances? Like since I’m half-Indian but was born here in America, would people really call it cultural appropriation if I were a pop star who dressed up…

Just because there are women, people of color, and gay people who share some of the same opinions as men/whites/heterosexuals doesn’t mean that those beliefs can’t still be examples of victim-blaming, misogyny, racism, and homophobia.

It definitely seems like Ariana (or Ariana’s team, or a combination of both) get some of her styling ideas from anime.

I’ve seen far more so-called ‘radical feminists’ and other self-proclaimed feminists declaring NOT wearing make-up, not shaving/waxing, NOT taking selfies, NOT performing oral sex on males, NOT dressing/dancing immodestly, NOT wearing a burka or hijab, NOT choosing to get a divorce and become a single mother after a…

“People disagreed with me , Lol.” I guarantee you that’ll happen just about any time one member of a group comments that all members of that group only have one reason (in this case another group of people’s approval) for doing something.

But is it really a thing for people to go around declaring things like shaving, waxing, taking their husbands’ last names, etc. as feminist acts? And are their really liberal women/feminists who actually believe or go around saying that literally every choice a woman makes in life is a feminist act just because she’s…

I see women wearing make-up as one of those feminist-neutral acts like dressing modestly/conservatively/classy) for a couple of reasons: It’s one of those decisions that patriarchal societies both pressure women and girls into doing and shames them for doing, there’s the fact that women’s motives for doing it aren’t…

Even if I wasn’t attracted to men (and women too) I’d still be getting rid of the pubic hair from time to time just because I don’t like menstrual blood, leftover toilet paper, etc. sitting there in between baths. I’d probably just do it less. But the thing is, I have never, in my life, seen any woman claim bikini…

But what if you’re someone who thinks both sexes look better with less hair on places that aren’t their heads?

“As though the choices we all make affect only us and never contribute to the system that oppresses our sisters.” Ah, victim-blaming scape-goat feminism: where the violence/inequality/oppression of women is the fault of women who don’t obey a strict, arbitrary set of rules about clothing, sexuality, dance, marriage,…

Thank you. The Kelly Ann Conways and the Jessa Crispins of the world really are just two sides of the same coin. One is an opportunistic exploitative conservative appropriating ‘feminism’ Wendy Shalit-style; the other is a liberal bigot pushing a version of non-intersectional feminism that in practice is basically…

Criticism and silencing are not the same thing.

“I dislike the ‘I’m a better feminist than you” conversation.” Exactly. Your performance of androgynous sexually modest womanhood doesn’t make you a better feminist than anyone else. And thinking it makes you better makes you no better than religious conservative women who think they’re better than other women based…

Radical feminism really does have a lot of internalized misogyny and victim-blaming within it, women’s oppression gets blamed on choices individual women make with their bodies and any woman who deviates from an arbitrary list of rules about what women should or should not be doing with their bodies is a scapegoat and…

I don’t disagree with you there.

Yes. Not because it was her brand (I was never a fan of Paris Hilton even before she came out as Trump Trash with Cash), but because I liked the smell of that specific body spray.

In the case of your (presumably now normal adult) friend having had consensual sex with another 13-year-old at 13, I wouldn’t call either of them ‘victims’, they’re just people who made a decision together as teenagers that isn’t a good idea or something that should be encouraged.

I think the fact that their have been cases where people who were still teenagers themselves got treated like rapists and pedophiles for consensual non-abusive activities with a teenager 1-3 years younger than them is a shame and dilutes the issue. There’s no way I can get behind some 17-year-old who had sex with a…

I don’t care if a 13-year-old masturbates privately by themselves or looks at/makes their own porny- comics/stories/ erotica, (Shit, I’m telling on myself), but I don’t think they’re ready for sex with other people.
