What does anti male mean in the context of this woman hating obscenity?
From Mary Daly, Gyn/Ecology
My breasts are beautiful, fur and all, and I love them exactly as they are.
*self shot by phoenixfloe*
When I was young, I was very internally conflicted about my chest, breast, and stomach hair. It started growing right around puberty and rapidly became thick, dark, and difficult to remove/still somewhat noticeable after shaving. I struggled with that through middle and high school, always obsessively removing/covering up and secretly feeling like a total fucking freak.
I already didn’t like how far apart my breasts were and the battle for smooth, pretty skin was constantly raging onward with me steadily feeling more and more like I couldn’t keep up and like I was ultimately losing the war. I tried electrolysis, and I notice no difference now, to be honest. It was painful and expensive and didn’t seem to work very well despite me doing it regularly for over a year.
Truly, at my core, I kind of liked my hair and desired to embrace it despite pressures all around me to remove it and/or cover it up. As I entered adulthood, I desired this more and more. It took me a few years before I got the courage to start growing it out. I was 23 and I had a boyfriend who really didn’t support my decision. I think it was part of why we eventually split up for good. He was a metalhead and his friends made fun of me and of him for dating me relentlessly behind my back. I didn’t find out about it until the relationship was basically already over. Someone even started a rumor that I was taking steroids.
It was difficult at first, but I very rapidly developed an ‘I don’t give a fuck’ attitude about the negativity I was receiving and made up my mind to see it as a very effective filtering device. It works almost unfailingly. If you act like a douchebag to me about my body hair, I instantly know to stay the fuck away from you. It saves me a lot of time and energy because I immediately know not to waste my time getting to know certain people who I probably would often otherwise have given a chance. Many people don’t show their dark side until you get to know them a bit. With me, people show their dark side almost immediately if they are a judgmental dick and see my chest hair. It’s such a blessing. All the good riddance!
Now, I’m almost 29 and I haven’t removed my body hair in nearly 5 years. Since ceasing body hair removal, I have found countless reasons to love all my soft, wonderful body fuzzies. Despite this, I was recently feeling a bit unsexy and down about my breasts. I started wondering how it would be to have no hair on them and no stubble and no hair growing back and wishing I could experience that. I was looking at photos of other breasts and wishing mine looked at all like any breasts I have ever seen. I started feeling a little freakish again I guess. It was silly and I think I was just triggering back to old emotions for whatever reason, but after a couple weeks of it I have really come around the other side. I feel even better about my hairy breasts now than I ever have.
I didn’t say anything at all to my partner about how I was feeling but I think he must have intuitively picked up on it because one night he was cuddling me up and he suddenly said something like “your chest hair is unique and beautiful and it makes me feel special to be with someone with something so special and different.” It made my heart absolutely soar through the skies to hear him say that. It really solidified the work I had been doing to move past my strange relapse of insecurity. Since I was feeling especially breast positive yesterday morning, I decided to take these photos to celebrate breast diversity and positivity in general!

Kathryn Bigelow, director of The Hurt Locker, is the only woman EVER to win a Best Director Oscar. Only 4 women have ever been nominated. Women made up only 6% of Directors for the top movies of 2013. There were NO female nominees for directing, cinematography, film editing, writing (original screenplay), or music (original score) during last year’s Academy Awards.
Think this isn’t a problem? Hollywood sexism has gotten so bad the government is investigating … again.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which enforces laws against workplace discrimination, has started contacting female film and television directors to interview them about gender disparities in the industry.
Hopefully this is a step in the right direction, it hasn’t really worked in the past.
Child Marriage in Bangladesh
It should be happiest day of her life, but 15-year-old Nasoin Akhter couldn’t look more miserable. For the teenager isn’t getting ready for a birthday party or another big celebration – she is being forced into marriage to a 32-year-old man.
As the above image shows, the Bangladeshi schoolgirl appears forlorn and, at times, even scared as she gets ready for the ceremony in Manikganj, near the capital Dhaka. Sadly, Nasoin is by no means alone in a country which has one of the highest rates of child marriage in the world.
Earlier this year, Human Rights Watch released a damning report that revealed how 29 per cent of girls are married before the age of 15 and 65 per cent by the time they turn 18. The detrimental effects of early marriage on a girl can be extremely damaging.
Research from Girls Not Brides shows most young brides drop out of school and that girls who fall pregnant from 15 to 20 years old are twice as likely to die in childbirth than those 20 or older. Girls under 15 are at five times the risk.
The age difference between spouses can also a significant risk factor for violence and sexual abuse. Cultural tradition and poverty are the main reasons for child marriages. Larger dowries are not required for young girls and, economically, women’s earnings are insignificant as compared to men’s. Parents also believe that it protects girls from sexual assault and harassment.
males love to rape female children
Loving to Survive: Sexual Terror, Men’s Violence, and Women’s Lives by Dee L.R. Graham, pg. 112
The way these trans “activists” think about transmen is so shitty. They insist transmen have male privilege and should be denied access to female-only safe spaces, but then they turn around and degrade them for having female bodies.
Only valuing the female-bodied people who are “compliant” with “uterus duty”: arch-conservative misogynist or third-wave genderist? What’s the difference anymore.Genderists support patriarchy they just change the names around
“compliant trans dudes” holy fucking shit.
Despite all the “evil TERFS hate all trans people” propaganda, radical feminists definitely care more about female-born trans men than these dickheads in dresses ever have or ever will.
I cannot wait until the mainstream hits peak trans. I hope that trans men will be the first to fight back.Wow, why not just call them breeders and save yourself the effort?
Shit, they really do think females–trans men or women, either/or–are holes to fuck, identities to steal and wombs to put a baby in.
Most males think women are baby makers and holes to fuck. Yet these people would scream up and down they were socialize as women . This is the text book example of male entitlement.
There’s a saying you can put as much lipstick on a pig as you want but you can’t make it a lady.
Going without makeup is never a privilege for cis women. And recognizing that fact, and analyzing the social forces at work here, is not “shaming” the people who wear it.
We are shamed for not wearing makeup. People ask us if we’re tired, or sick. Our careers are penalized for it. (x) (x) (x) Butch lesbians who don’t wear makeup have it especially hard, as they experience prejudice on multiple fronts - prejudice resulting from misogyny, prejudice resulting from being not gender conforming, prejudice from homophobia, and homophobic prejudice of the special variety that lesbians experience - lesbophobia - for the fact that they’re women who are not sexually available to men.
What you’re actually saying is that “women don’t necessarily need to wear makeup in order to be read as female.” And that’s true. I “pass” as a woman whether I’m wearing makeup or not. In other words, I experience misogyny regardless of how well my appearance conforms to socially constructed notions of gender performance.
So, the implication of your conclusion is that these women don’t need to go to an effort to have their “gender identity” validated. This is true, in the sense that I don’t have to do anything special to be read as female. Long hair, short hair, makeup, no makeup, people are going to glance at me and know that I’m female. However, being read as female is never a privilege.
Being perceived as female, regardless of how you identify, makes you vulnerable to both sex-based and gender-based oppression. Not only will you, in the Western world at least, be catcalled and harassed (whether you’re wearing makeup or not), implicitly considered less intelligent than your male counterparts, and be paid less, you’ll be exposed to oppression rooted solely on the basis of biological sex as well. The component of sex in the dynamics between men and women’s power imbalances is immutable. Indeed, it’s the root cause. If you are female, not just perceived as female, you’ll be susceptible to sex-based oppression, however that manifests in your particular culture - ranging from access to contraceptions and abortion, to femicide. Sex-based oppression is a global phenomenon.
I am not privileged for being born in a female body. Period. It is not possible for you to be oppressed on precisely the same axis as you are privileged.
Transwomen who don’t experience dysphoria, and aren’t read as women (or even read as trans), do not experience systematic misogyny. They can’t. Systematic oppression is intrinsically tied to the social world, so indivisible from how we are perceived by the rest of our social network.
I CANT BELIEVE THESE PEOPLE THINK BEING GNC IS A PRIVILEGE AT ALL?????
