Like I'm sorry but the fact that when they make a joke it's funny but when women joke it's time to grow up, be serious or it's "not funny" and the amount of behavioural double standards between men Vs women is so exhausting.

Another thing I hate is the fact that when a man is confident or sure of himself it's normal or his hyped up but when it's a woman people want to humble them and think it's too much. Like especially when a woman isn't docile or submissive personality wise or something it's like even people expect women to have mannerisms that shrink themselves and behave in a very proper manner otherwise it's unladylike or "weird" meanwhile men can sit however they want and have bad posture.

Like in so many aspects of expression women are judged more harshly. I honestly think women can feel restricted about being a woman because of so many negative sexist expectations and constant corrections to "fix" any deviant behaviours that isn't acting like a literal doll meanwhile boys and men can do whatever they want including exhibiting disruptive behaviours that affect others negatively like being extremely loud and inconsiderate nd people won't even care. It's actually insane.

Since it is not safe to promote this sub in liberal feminist subs, regular subs and even other “radical feminist sub”  I have decided to make a dedicated thread where you can post your own radical feminist sub here.

In Islam a woman has to cover her hair yet she is expected to have long hair for husband. Predators can grab your hair and drag you across the floor. Long hair is a big vulnerability that’s why men have short hair and women have long hair. If a woman dyes her hair a different colour people call her “crazy”.  If a woman has short hair she is called ugly because it takes away control from society you can't pull her hair anymore or demand her hair to be covered up because it doesn't exist anymore.

I saw a video about Judith Polgar (world's greatest female chess player) beating Magnus Carlsen in a park. I went to the comments and there are still many men who refused to acknowledge her skill. They either called her an exception or they said that she's just 'afternoon snack' for the greatest male players. Same comments on a post about Hedy Lamarr (They said she stole the idea of frequency hopping from other men) and even Marie Curie (they said she just 'helped' her husband with his discoveries).

As much as I would like to ignore it, it hurts. It hurts that they still can't see us the same way as themselves. Women could hate men as much as they want but they still don't see men as subhuman creatures who are not good at anything, that's all men. And they don't realise why there are less women in these fields, don't they understand that men have oppressed us for thousands of years, feeding us lies about ourselves, our capabilities? It's not that we're bad at these things, we just do them much less than men because of our socialization. Male dominated fields are still so hostile towards women. I still have male friends, male members of my family (even female members) thinking that women are not as good as men at things that are other than cooking or child rearing.

I'm just so angry that we constantly have to prove ourselves to men who still won't be convinced. I'm tired of working so hard to prove myself just for them to still shit on my capabilities. I think seperatism is the only way left because men might not hate women, but they will never ever see us equals. We should make our own world, own sports, own schools, own hospitals etc. because all men do is drain the life out of women. Misogyny is so ingrained in our society, I don't think we can do anything about the patriarchy by including men.

The instructor told the trainee that he ASKED a woman at his job for help who had large chest. He described that when she would help him her chest would go in his face. He then got agitated and said that it made him uncomfortable and that he is allowed to tell her to back off. He told his coworkers about this situation and they told him that "she probably didn't know that she was doing that". He said what she did was not right and he was just 19 years old at that time and did not know what to do.

Why would he even ask her for help if he was just going to act like an asshole?

Whenever I report these type of things they just tell me its a: "communication misunderstanding" and that he has ADHD. They told me "he has to teach boys who have autism or intellectual disabilities about these uncomfortable topics". Like these aren't boys they are grown adult men. The compony I work for has to help the disabled community so they can get government funding so there is nothing I can really do.

A disable women is obviously gonna struggle with wearing a purse. That disabled women would be called a "triggered feminist", "illogical" "overemotional etc" and is told to go and find different solutions to solve the problem instead of holding billion dollar corporations accountable she is told to go sew pockets into her pants, buy mens pants which is most likely not gonna fit they'll be too small or have the wrong proportions. Instead of asking a billion dollar corporations to change that will cost them virtually nothing. Even people who are anti capitalist hate women for criticizing products but a man who is a literal rapist is given so much empathy people are constantly told to "think about his future", "mens mental health", "he can't control himself" and thats why you should empathize with him.
