We had a birthday get together last night, 11 of us in total. Most of us are progressive feminists, decentered men, body positive, etc.

Well I knew about two of them already, but it turns out 7 of the 11 in our group are currently on some type of GLP drug. Half of them are barely chubby at all, what is going on?

Are we entering a new era of toxic beauty standards? Are all women going to be expected to be skinny, even if requires taking sketchy injections?

I know it's been posted many times before. We all know how most of the threads on feminist subs tend to be complaints about men and dating/relationships.

I've been reading the girl dinner sub and honestly it blows my mind. Almost every woman there is described as beautiful, intelligent, great careers, basically 10/10 perfect partners all any man could ever wish for.

But then they all have horror stories about their 2/10 boyfriends with bad hygiene who cheat, broke, emotionally abusive, and weird porn addictions.

If you insist on finding a man (which I advise against but whatever), why are you not only dating men who are at least your equal? It doesn't have to be a political statement or a reflection on you at all. There are billions of men in the world and no reason to ever waste your life on all the bad ones.

You don't have to associate with men at all if you don't want to. And if you do, know your worth and don't accept even a tiny bit of negative BS from men that you CHOOSE to be around. Imagine our lives if we focused more on ourselves instead of them.

Genuinely curious where people are meeting, connecting, and exchanging ideas these days. It's great to have a group of women in your life, especially if you are 4b or not dating!

I think we can all agree it's long overdo, for reasons I won't rehash again. I don't see how women can justify dealing with men, letting them use our bodies for sex, etc. while we still live under an oppressive patriarchy.

Yet so many threads threads here about dating, boyfriends, and husbands. And almost nothing about 4b. On a sub dedicated to women's issues. Make it make sense.
