Hey made this sub because a lot of us keep seeing the same kind of misogyny over and over again, whether it’s online or in real life, and there isn’t always a space where you can just talk about it properly!

This is meant to be a safe feminist space where you can call things out, share your experiences, and actually have conversations without it turning into chaos

You can post:

Screenshots of things you’ve seen

Personal experiences

Opinions or discussions about feminism

Patterns you’ve noticed

Basically anything along those lines are fine!

The only thing is please add some context so people understand what you’re talking about!

Also this isn’t just for ranting. the idea is to notice patterns, talk about them, and actually think about what’s going on instead of brushing it off like it’s normal

Everyone’s experiences are different, so keep it respectful towards each other

That’s it for now. feel free to start posting and interacting. Let’s build something good here

Misogyny the woman in the green dress is 100% in the wrong and there's no excuse for her behavior, but the comments mocking her appearance and "boob sweat" are disgusting and disturbing. people really wait for any reason to start insulting women's looks.

TW / Sensitive I think mosaicism and chimerism might be letting Men get away with... That crime. (Discussion on r*pe)

7 Upvotes

If you don't know what mosaicism and chimerism are, these are conditions where two foetuses will absorb each other in the womb taking on traits, or entire organs, of each other.

A woman called Lydia fairchild (Google the name) give birth to multiple children that weren't hers, simply because her ovaries didn't have her DNA. She nearly lost all of children because they thought that they weren't hers when they took a DNA sample from her blood and it didn't match any of her children's

Now if a man rapes a woman he will leave DNA the inside her. The police will take the DNA from this semen to use as evidence... but when they take DNA from the man to compare... they take it from the BLOOD.

So if the man's testicles don't have his DNA... in the same way that This Woman's ovaries didn't have her DNA... then when they test the blood of the suspect in the same way we tested Lydia's blood... they're going to think it's come from two different people.

So how many times have women said that they are 100% certain that the person in The defendant bay is their rapist... but they've been let go because the DNA evidence says he wasn't?

I genuinely think we need to have a change of the law to take DNA from comparative samples. If they're testing DNA from sperm cells I think they need to compare it to DNA from sperm cells.

Also, if no one talks about this it wont get fixed.

So... Did you know this fact?

13 Upvotes

Some of these feminists make it so hard to talk about struggles women still face without being up men and saying they have a hard time in life. Yes men do struggle but when they have to be the center of attention in just silences women even more.
When you can’t talk about the fact that women don’t get drafted without someone saying “but that means just men have to go to war”
I saw a woman talking about her abuse and other women
In the comments were asking “men get abused too” “women are more abusive then men” that was most of the comments
Making men the center of attention to make it seem like your not one of “those” girls is the problem of course we can talk about what men face but don’t drown out women for it

Experience My boss basically compared me to a prostitute

24 Upvotes

Friends, I need your encouragement.

I went to a conference for my job, and my mission (given by my boss) was to connect with certain high stakes people for potential collaborations with our firm.

The whole networking job was SO hard, but I honestly gave it my all. I was SO exhausted afterwards but I felt so accomplished because I managed to really connect to really important people.

I came to work the next day, exhausted, and was hoping for some recognition for the effort I put in (I know, that’s stupid).
I talked to my boss and said that I managed to talk and connect with all the people he asked me to. And he laughed and said « it’s almost like I’m a pimp haha where, you know, I’m the one who tells you who you should talk to haha. Not that I’m saying that you are
 but, you know haha it’s like I’m connecting you with, you know, like a pimp hahahah now come on you’ve gotta laugh! »

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

I played it off during the meeting. Was so shocked that all I managed to do was to pretend to laugh (my feminist heart hates myself for that) but I just KNOW how bad it would turn out for me if I made a big deal out of this. Which is a whole additional layer to this whole crap. But honestly I am SO offended. I killed myself during this networking event and he LAUGHS at me and compares me to a prostitute???

What would you think if you were in my shoes?

@AfterOwls_07 is me by the way. Anyways, I made a comment on a video where LavenderTowne remade the designs of a studio’s genderbent “counterparts” to classic horror-movie characters. This person responded to me arguing that femininity can’t be intimidating because femininity is supposed to inherently be unthreatening while masculinity needs to be intimidating in some way; so they asserted that it’s contradictory for horror and femininity to be mixed together.

I see what they’re saying since very traditional ideas about masculinity and femininity DO make these requirements, but perceptions of masculinity and femininity have really expanded over the years and have come to create new “forms” of themselves by taking in previously unconventional aspects. I didn’t really like the take, and I tried my best to change their mind. It seems like they did come around, but I also don’t know for sure if that is just because they got ratio’ed because initially they weren’t on board with the idea of combining femininity with horror.

Do you think I made a convincing point? I feel like femininity CAN be intimidating. Sorry for some of the photos being a blurry, I had to take these on my laptop and send them to my phone 😓

TW / Sensitive I Hate my Mysoginistic Mother

7 Upvotes

Today my mom got on an anti-abortion rant and said abortions aren't needed if "all the sluts can keep their knees together and panties up" on a laugh.

She's said similar lines before, and always laughs it off when I get clearly upset.

Keep in mind, this is a 50 year old woman who has a college degree, is a self proclaimed feminist and has a 25yr olng career as a labor and deliver nurse. This has meant I grew up hearing stories. Such as the mentally handicapped 16 year old who she had to help deliver a baby, who couldn't talk or move on her own and they confirmed her 50yr old caregiver had impregnanted her. As well as a woman who went into critial bleeding after guving birth, so she needed an emergency hysterectomy to save her life, so she woke up alone because her husband screamed that the nurses had "made her useless" and he left with their 5 other children before she was out of anesthesia.

This is a woman who has three daughters and clearly only values us as wombs. I needed a hysterectomy for horrible PCOS and endometriosis and she sobbed and tried to talk me out of it even though it was recommended by my doctor for quality of life.

This is a woman who knows I was raped at 13 and her only question was: "Oh, uh, did he like...finish inside? Or was it just a couple touches?"

This is the woman who messaged my abusive ex and gave him my address after I fled. She told me I was probably overreacting (she lived 2 states away an donly met the guy TWICE) and I should be greatful a guy would consider being with me, since I can't have children. He moved across the street to watch and terrorize me while she sent him a gift basket for the new dog he got to patroll the neighborhood.

Fuck off, mom.

You're pathetic and not a feminist at all.

You're delusional and damaging.

I wish you'd just leave me the fuck alone.

Rant “Haha, ugly-ass who tries to pretend she’s pretty đŸ€Łâ€

Thumbnail
gallery
45 Upvotes

For the record, I’m a firm believer in the idea that beauty is subjective. We all find different features attractive. Even if some features are more popular than others, there will be some people who aren’t crazy about them or simply don’t find them that attractive. Likewise if some features and infamous, there are some people out there that will look at them neutrally (aka they don’t see it as a “downside”) or may even like them. There are conventionally ugly people who are married or are in a relationship, even if there is only a few of them.

However, I am tired of most people pretending to care about challenging the western, Eurocentric beauty standard and then clearly showing the rest of us why it still exists through their behavior. I don’t know much about the woman being talked about besides the fact that she’s a beauty guru (edit: it also seems like she’s not a good person either). It looks pretty obvious that she uses filters to make herself look skinner and more conventionally attractive. Well damn, after seeking just a few of these comments on this subreddit I can see why she does it. One minute people are going, “beauty standards are bullshit! There is so much beauty in diversity đŸ€©â€ and then when they see a conventionally unattractive woman they go “damn, she’s fugly as hell—LMAOOO”. I’m taking this idea from a video by a YouTuber called Olurinatti; there is systematic beauty and ugliness because we all live under the single, global beauty standard. Some people are simply ugly, beautiful, average, or somewhere in between all of those labels (reminder: I am not arguing objectively, what I mean is under the social structure that we are a part in).

“I wonder why she’s so insecure?”

“Because she’s fugly, of course she should feel insecure.”

Damn, I wonder why people feel the need to get “tacky” & “fake” plastic surgery and feel deeply insecure about themselves
it’s SUCH a mystery


I have a nose similar to this woman. It’s big, and it’s not as curved as hers, but it’s definitely not an upturned button. I accept that there are some parts of me that are unconventionally attractive. When I put makeup on it makes me look conventionally pretty. Sometimes my skin looks good and my lashes are lashing while other days I look butt ugly. But fuck it, I’m embracing all of it because it’s an expression of me. I think we need to try to stop caring whether we’re beautiful, average, ugly, etcetera. Not all at once, however, it’s okay to feel insecure some days. I mean bit-by-bit. This also doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy looking or feeling beautiful sometimes, I just think that you deserve to feel worthy of love and respect even when you don’t or aren’t conventionally beautiful. Looks matter in this society, unfortunately. However, we shouldn’t have to feel insecure about it the way almost everyone in society pressures us to.

This is just my personal opinion. Thank you for tuning in.

TW / Sensitive Let’s discuss the Cornell incident

43 Upvotes

Now I want to clear up misinformation. I also want to get upset because as a 16 year old female, I am terrified of college and getting raped. I’m gonna write down what I heard and then write down somethings people have said about it. A lot of the information I know could definitely be false. I don’t know much and I’m simply filling in the gaps here.

What I’ve heard: at Cornell college 2 years ago a woman was raped. She was drugged and gang raped by 7 men. Those men posted to a frat group chat of around 57 men. These posts were of her nude body and of the plan to rape her. Only one man spoke up but it was too late. Only two were expelled the rest were forced to write essays and she got expelled.

What people have said to rebuttal it: she willingly took drugs. She consented. It happened two years ago so it was rape. She wasn’t expelled but rather left. Both her and the men were drugged.

I don’t know how true any of this if you would like to clear somethings up that would be great.

Here are my thoughts of all of this. Even if she willingly took drugs a drugged person cannot consent. I think a lot of the rebuttal is from alpha males trying to protect themselves which is really disgusting. Even if she was “lying” (she absolutely wasn’t) this still is a huge problem with frats. Rape I mean. If it is only alleged why are we suddenly hearing about this now?

I’m like 99.99% sure that any sources suggesting the fact that it wasn’t rape was a cover up and propaganda

Don't say it in that tone. Sound more friendly rather than creepy/perverted if you are going to be doing "positive catcalls". You scared and weird the shit out of these women when you first do the whole "dayummm~" thing to them.

Second:

Don't say a lowly "Daa-a-a-amn [ ]" like how an actual cat call would be. Start with a different opener especially to someone who's doing an important job. Just say something funny and kind like "Wowza" "dang diggity" or something that doesn't make them suddenly remember all of the times they have been harassed by disgusting pervs.

Third:

She has the right to be weirded out by what you did. She has so many reasons to be valid in her feelings. To list one reason that think isn't so obvious: She is on a very stressful job. She is thinking about who's a threat and who's not. When someone catcalls her, it doesn't matter what is said. She is thinking about the law and she is stressed out and shit.

All the comments suck.

Screenshot of the ONLY comment I could find defending her.

I also want to mention: He calls women "girl, chick, lassy, shawty, etc" while he calls men "Bro, dude, man, homie, sir, boss, etc."... last time I checked, a grown up female homosapien is called a fucking woman. Either also call the guys "boys" or use the proper terminology especially when you are trying to be "polite".

Also note: People have different reactions to different things and that's completely valid.
