I Am Once Again Asking For The Feminists In My Phone's Blessing For My Exam Today

This mentality is really telling of the fact that you haven't done any politics or activism in real life.

I've been sitting with party representatives, union representatives and fellow members of movements I belong(ed) to for almost 10 years at this point.

Not a single one of these spaces didn't cater to males.

Engage in some politics outside of tumblr and/or niche organisations, I grant you your opinion will flip in 10 seconds max.

Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline

bought an e-cig today and feel like a fucking child yeah of course stupid fucking lungs you're not strong enough for real tobacco anymore ohh poor you let me get your pacifier

Introduction

20-something socialist woman, this blog is a sharing space for thoughts and opinions because I miss being politically active (which is on hold for personal reasons - mainly getting a degree)

I'll talk mainly about feminist theory and anything related, my positions are radical - I'd love to interact with people who share (not necessarily) similar views.

Also some occasional posts on music, art and the likes, everything fiercely nonconformist.

You can call me M :)

In Italy, it's really common for clubs (like discos) to do free entry for women, which is clearly a marketing tactic to get more disgusting males to buy a ticket because they're going to find girls there.

Is this common in other countries as well? Do young people talk about it? Here it's a huge MRA argument for "women's privilege" 🙄

One of the lowest points of the leftist/feminist cultural landscape in my country, posting because I'm still mad:

So-called feminist author (a woman) runs one of the most important independent book fairs in Italy.

Last year's edition was dedicated to a young woman who was killed by her former boyfriend.

Also last year, this author (a man) was invited while being accused of domestic violence by his former girlfriend - this was widely known at the time of the invite.

Before being found guilty, he revokes his participation from the fair. Some time later (days or few weeks, I think), the matter is taken to court, they find him guilty.

Condemned to 4 years (because domestic violence is a joke for courts).

The woman organising the fair goes to the press and says "it's a shame that he revoked his participation, I will still hold the event and I'll talk about his book instead of him"

Some days later she apologies, the apology is along the lines of "we hurt your feelings, we're sorry, we're going to replace his event with a panel on feminism".

She's considered one of the most prominent feminist intellectuals at the moment in Italy.

He was considered an ally and constantly praised by other so-called feminist women in intellectual spheres.

i'm currently on a train and i'm surrounded by women studying various stem things, maybe we'll make it out after all

when I'm the only woman taking an exam I know I have to do well for the feminists in my phone

Just a heads up: this is not true.

While homosexuals and gender non conforming people were persecuted by nazis, the reason Hirschfeld's institute was shut down was that he was Jewish and promoted the idea that homosexuality was not an illness, which was considered "jewish science".

It is important to remember the many victims of the Holocaust and nazism but it is also important to not bend history in order to fit a narrative.

And I'll say it again: homosexuals and gender non conforming people went through horrible things and it's important to share actual sources on that instead.

Feminists have never treated men the way mysoginists treat women, so yeah, I think this was abundantly clear.

Hello there! Dear tumblr user, did you know that "men as a class hold privilege and power over women" and "men are human beings who deserve basic decency" are two stances that can coexist :)
