The highest grossing film in places like the Middle East like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc is Avatar where the Navi literally walk around topless with there hair showing.
I really couldnt care less about women who are willing throw us under the bus for male validation, do stuff like shame our clothes or looks if we dont meet traditional beauty standards, make excuses for everything a man does in the name of tradition or religion, enable these men who are open for their hatred for women, i couldnt care less those serena joys who are so hell bent on setting us back in time just because their fantasy book says so, i couldnt care less about women who continue defending abrahamic religion, consider us "brainwashed witches" if we dont give into their belief, the same religion that has been used for ages to control women and still is in some parts of the worlds, apparently i offended alot of "religious feminists" (aka chickens for kfc) in the other feminist sub for saying you cant be a feminist and follower of an abrahamic religion at the same time so i actually consider them a threat to feminism.
I dont trust even the ones who claim to follow "progressive" version of it at this point, when we daily get criticised for choosing to not having children, not getting married, not being traditionally submissive or subservient to men by these same pick me women all of these "choice feminists" are silent but as soon as we admit that you could never be for womens rights if you still choose to defend abrahamic religions or as soon as we criticize these tradwives who constantly enforce their lifestyle on us, constantly warn us how we will die alone with cats at age 50 as a sort of threat if we were to take any other path in life and act like how they are superior for it, then all of sudden these choice feminists play the "everyones a feminist until a woman chooses to love her religion or choose to be a housewife/mother" card even though being a housewife/mother is more than common in most parts of the world, its not a rare existence and motherhood constantly get shoved down our throats with its the only way we could get fulfilled in life as women every second of the day already.
I really dont consider religious women part of the feminist movement and idc what others have to say about this because these are the same women willing to throw us under the bus
for their fantasy book, enforce gender roles on us with "we are just built for different things" or this whole pinkwashing "equity over equality" arguments comes, how men should be the head according to their fantasy book and justify everything a man does as long he is the head, shame us for living differently than them, defend male grapists or pedofiles and blame us for it, etc so you know what, you are right im not a 'girls girl", they could go rot it in hell and idgaf if that makes me less of a feminist, why do people expect us to care about women who are against us? Like idgaf if a woman chooses to have children, just dont enforce this that i have to do this as well or make me feel like ive failed womanhood for not doing it. Im not a feminist for these women, idc if they get oppressed or hurt by the very same ideology they keep defending so badly, i have 0 sympathy for them. Im really tired of people trying to make it seem like that women with children are such a rare occurrence on this planet when most of social media fyp literally consists of pregnancy announcements and im tired of people making us feel useless, call us lonely cat ladies if we haven't done it or remind us its the only way to reach fulfillment as a woman.
Normally when I see their travel videos I skip but today I saw this one white women from the same American city I live in and had to comment “have some respect for your sisters across the globe who cannot flee their homes, their home with the highest female suicide rate in the world, their home that gives objects and animals more legal protection.” I got my comment deleted and blocked 💀
In her video she went into Taliban territory, she got a tattoo, she rode a motorcycle by herself… she did everything the afghan women can only dream of, as a fun vacation with no fear or consequence
I study mass violence against women across the globe. I’m normally ok at not getting emotional over most of it but Afghanistan is where I cannot control my sorrows. It’s reading and learning about what the Taliban does that has led me to collapse and cry while doing my work. I hardly cry yet it’s learning about the burka, Taliban law, all of it, that breaks me the most. And I just do not understand how a WOMAN could go there by choice and go to bed at night and live with herself knowing that on the other side of this earth we share, our sisters are not human. They are not animal. They are not objects. They are the worst most satanic creatures: women. There’s a different kind of anger that rises in me when I see women who choose to travel there, do so, document it, post it, make money from their trip online. While our sisters are forced to be beaten and raped under a law that protects the beating item over their humanity.
Behind every Afghanistan travel video are the women behind the walls of the buildings they broadcast, sitting alone in their homes having not seen the sun in days, weeks, months… who cannot go to the hospital when their life is in danger because they are women. Next time go to Afghanistan with a burka on Victoria 🙏
Exactly the title. I’m so tired of these dudes fully believing they know more than an expert who studies these things daily. It’s not only entitlement it’s straight up rude! I tried to escape the convo and luckily did after 10 long minutes that I will never get back, but god those ten minutes were BRUTAL. Bro was laughing at Marx but when I asked him if he read Marx, silent of course 😆same with any relevant famous scholars on the topic. This dick was like “o believe we’re not hyper capitalist bc we’re actually feudalistic” dawg do you know what feudalism is??
It’s so sad how on this sub I see women in STEM venting about the men they put up with. And then for me as a humanities student, it’s the same exact thing. Like hey buddy sometimes it’s not our turn to speak
Why isn’t there a word for “handsome privilege”? men get way more privilege for being attractive then women. Like no one deepfakes attractive male celebrities in porn, no one criticize what they wear or hate mob them unlike female celebrities.
Kamala was a million times better looking than Trump and she never won the election. In places like Afghanistan and the Middle East women have to cover up their hair to hide their “beauty” like being beautiful is a crime.
I love Mother's Day.
It's hilarious.
It's the day mothers are reminded that being a pickme for patriarchy doesn't amount to much.
A generic text, ugly grocery store flowers at best, something grandiose and performative, or nothing at all. If birthing big-headed kids for some misogynistic male was enough to achieve permanent happiness, why are the mom subs in shambles around Mother's Day?
It reminds me of how often Christmas is full of DV and true crime shit.
Motherhood is a scam. 4B.
So there’s a popular sun where people like to get roasted. When it’s a man the roasts are always balanced when it comes to looks and personality. But when it’s woman If she’s conventionally attractive they’ll call her a hoe or slut or whatever. If it’s an “uglier” woman they’ll comment about her looks to. It’s always roasting the woman on sex or whatever.
To start, i already come from a conservative islamic household where men are designed to be the head of the households, where domestic abuse is justified if the woman doesnt obey her husband, where there is concept of honor killings where a woman gets killed if the family feels like she has done something to ruin their "honor". My father uses that justification of him being "the man of the house" to control me and my mother in every aspect of life. And now i see some westerners praising values like this, there seems to be more push towards gender roles than there was few years back, people saying things like how giving women freedom was a mistake, how the nuclear family is destroyed meanwhile where i come from, women are raised to be obediant and give up their whole identities for their husband and in laws just to see some western misogynists praise this which seems like a big slap in the face, how we are just "brainwashed satanic witches" who need to be burned again like the good old days just because we cant be controlled like lifestock anymore, suddenly its always some evil antisemitic conspiracy which forced us women into workforce meanwhile women from poorer backgrounds have been working for ages doing numerous small jobs to support their families in a third world country, i have female cousins who are from poorer background in my third world country have to work as well due to financial issues, now are yall going to blame the "cia" for making them work as well?
Now you see prominent figures like rachel wilson, candace owens and various tradwife influencers becoming mainstream spewing these conspiracy theories on how all of us are just satanic brainwashed witches who need to be controlled or burned like the good old days and all the comments underneath the posts talk as if we are animals, trying to convince us so badly we would be much happier off popping off 100 babies under the control of our husbands and if we dont do that, then we will die by 100 cats at age 50 even though the latter still seems like a better option to me. I just dont care about giving into my gender role, id much rather die than give into my gender role, i dont give a fuck about your imaginary sky daddy so i dont care if that makes me a "brainwashed witch" so burn me, i dont care. If these western extremist fundie women want to follow their trad life so badly then they should stfu, do it silently in the background like their bible demanded, and give up their political career/grifting. I really hate being born a woman.
