7 Beauty Products that Make Me Feel Like a Better Feminist

This is the worst thing I’ve ever read and to compound the issue she’s into Andrea Dworkin.

Also I think this may be the straw that broke the camel’s back with me and the term feminist.  Like the word already is a problem for me in a lot of ways, considering educational background is the largest factor in determining whether a woman self-identifies as a feminist and working class women often feel alienated by the term and I just feel like instead of attempting to redefine terms that already exist and create confusion and make it so you have to go through the effort of getting people to not think of the original meaning of the term when you say it is kinda “eh” when you can just come up with a new term.

Okay so another reason TERFs are shit

They’re like “Trans women have retained male privilege because they have male socialization”

Which presumably is like “they were socialized to be assertive and not take bullshit and to speak up” or whatever, right?

Which if we extrapolate is basically saying “if women weren’t so passive and accepting of men’s shit and spoke up for themselves men would treat them better”

Which is like… uh… okay, way to blame women’s behavior for the existence of patriarchy.

It’s just like SWERFs blaming porn for patriarchy rather than blaming patriarchy for misogynistic content in porn.
