We, as radfems, are often told that our feminism is incorrect and that it is about choice, equality, and that it was made for everyone. This is simply false. Feminism is for liberation of women, choices and equality will not liberate us. Women must learn to radicalize themselves in order to fully eliminate the patriarchy. An extreme and radical approach is the key to understanding female oppression and the root of misogyny and patriarchy. Claiming as such erases the struggles of women at the hands of sexism and misogyny and this is unacceptable as radical feminism is for women and will not be watered down to coddle the male gender and appease them. Males are our oppressors, and we will not humour them by thinking they can be included in our feminism and search for true liberation. feminism, femme-in-ism, is a female-only movement dedicated to the uprising of a revolution to destroy the oppression of women around the globe.

THE MALE SEX


The Male: the worst thing to happen to society, ever. Men, even if having never raped a woman, often still advocate for it and encourage it in other men. Constantly trying to deter women's sense of safety; If a woman says she has an aggressive protective dog to walk with at night, a man will explain a way he could get around it. If a woman has a gun or other weapon they'll say the same. They also often have a passive voice about female oppression. A constant intentional desire to make us feel threatened, powerless, unsafe. Has a woman the power to defend herself, men will do whatever it takes to see how they could take it away because endangering and harming women makes them feel powerful and 'manly'. The notion of not all man is quite frankly ridiculous to me because it is all men, not all men are active rapists, but all men contribute to rape culture and uphold the patriarchy, and all men subconsciously advocate for the harming of females in some way or another. All men benefit from the patriarchy, sexual, ecological, mental benefits. This makes it All Men. Male supremacy is the most common form of domination and is the cause for most issues; racism, imperialism, and capitalism. The claim that men are affected by the patriarchy is a pompous lie to slow women down in their cause, even in their own issues it comes back to women - Men's societal expectation to be masculine and not express emotions (like crying) comes from their desire not to be feminine. Crying is seen as feminine, and for men the feminine is a terrible thing, so they feel the need to not be it. Men see women as products in a store to be bought and consumed, so them showing any notion of being womanly (so called), is terrifying to them, because they are scared to be on the other end of oppression. In reality, they fit the womanly stereotype more than us - emotional, bad leaders, unskilled, difficult, un-satisfiable. The males have an ultimate dichotomy, an oxymoron of standards and expectations for us women; a virgin, not a whore; but also not inexperienced, a maid, a caregiver, a natural faced woman (that isn't really natural and actually has hundreds worth of product on her face and body, but of course he can't ever see the effort showing because she's supposed to be breezy, carefree and effortless), a worker but also a stay at home woman, we must be earners but he must provide everything, we can't be too agreeable but can't be too challenging.




TRANSGENDERISM


Trans-identifying males are a growing disease in society. They are sex pests with strange paraphilias who pretend to be women and often they are violent. They are woman haters and advocates for female erasure. The Transgender Movement has manipulated the definition of woman, and our society. Their active transposition of law harms women and girls. They exhibit cult characteristics such as; questioning and doubt being discouraged and sometimes punished, mind-altering practices - (medication), an elitist group claiming special status for itself, a black and white us-versus-them mentality, and inducing feelings of shame and guilt to control - often uses methods of peer pressure and subtle persuasion. Along with many more signs. Trans-radicalism hurts all females and even trans people themselves. They show constantly their only criteria for their gender is liking stereotypical femininity thus admitting they only see gender roles. As for trans-identifying women, I feel they are also basing themselves on a stereotype and trying to escape their sex-based oppression. But you can't identify yourself out of oppression and this works both ways - you cannot identify yourself out of being an oppressor the same way you won't escape being oppressed. Denying the connection between female bodies and oppression makes misogyny harder to address and we should not deny the notion of biological sex. Like the incomplete chromosomes that they are, these trans males will expect to be allowed to invade female spaces, they feel entitled and therefore feel they have a right to be in our spaces: lesbian bars, women's sports, women's prisons, women's educational groups, women's general hangout communities. Deny them this access, and they will proceed to throw violent threats at you, usually relating to their genitalia because they're only males when they can use their xy-ness against us. The bigger issue is the endorsement of this behavior and ideology from powerful people, even governments, contributing to the harm of females by accepting this behavior as normal and even changing psychology books to disregard the categorization of transgenderism as a serious sexual perversion requiring treatment.





PORN AND SEX WORK


Pornography is an evil - much like prostitution it is the buying and trafficking of women's bodies for profit, yet women often don't see this profit as their pimps, or, managers take it. Sex should not be a contract, deal, or business. 95% of women in prostitution want to leave and lack the ability to, and the narrative that prostitution and porn is empowering is disgusting and should never be pushed. SEX WORK as a term is also misogynistic - sex for money is not work, it is rape, and calling it work is passive and rose-tinted. The defense of pornography is the defense of the so-called right of men to view the abuse and rape of women. The defense of pornography is the defense of showing girls and women that their bodies are a consumer product able to be bought and sold. Although bought rape has been a problem for many, many decades it is also being modernized - AI is also contributing to oppression, men use it to create lewd deepfakes of women and girls nude, and other men consume this and endorse it and it is put on the internet to shame women. The rise of the internet also encouraged the rise of normalized sexism. BDSM and kinks are also sexist, contributors to domestic abuse.




MARRIAGE


Marriage is much like prostitution in the way that is also a forcing of women to give themselves up to a male. An institution that consists of keeping women trapped, constantly giving birth, abused, and forced to do labor for the male under the guise of it being her role in society. The white wedding, entwined with sexist imagery, the white dress marking the bride's virginity, the minister telling the husband - you may now kiss the bride - rather than the bride herself giving permission, and not to mention that the wife is expected to give up her surname and take the husbands, representing her now being owned by her husband.




RELIGION


Religion is another misogynistic institution that must be denounced. Shattered. Churches, no matter the god, disregard women as humans and treat them simultaneously like they are property to be owned, and vile creatures not to be touched. The Bible states that women came from males, a lie of course, because they are tremendously scared to admit that women are the creators of almost everything, so we have to be suppressed and told we come from Adams's ribcage. The witch trials, under the masque of religion and righteousness, were misogynistic persecutions of women who dared to differ from the church or possessed knowledge of any form. When women learned, they were persecuted, and murdered. Elizabeth Cady Stanton wrote that the church wanted to establish a universal dominion over mankind [or rather womankind]. In more extreme cases like Islam, women are expected to be fully concealed, not seen and not heard. Religious terrorist groups like the Taliban actively murder women in the name of their god. Many such cases of this, which is why we should refuse the acceptance of misogynistic cultures and beliefs. A culture that is harmful to 50% of the population does not deserve to be respected.





MEDICINE


Women, despite making many important contributions to medicine, are still ignored when it comes to the medical field. We have made the male quality of life much easier - yet males refuse to return the favor. They will even go out of their way to make sure we are unheard of, with many men going into the gynecology field and taking advantage of their patients. There is an extreme lack of research into female health, Endometriosis, Uterine issues, Turner syndrome etc. Doctors will brush off female patients and blame issues on weight, diet, etc when in reality it is a pure disregard for women's health and a lack of effort in looking into woman-only issues. Who do you have to blame for the lack of care?; Men in history mass slaughtered female midwives, calling their research into health 'witchcraft'. Capitalism and a male-orientated workforce and education system have failed to consider female health in demand, the patriarchal disgust for female bodies tied to the sexualization and shaming of female bodies makes young women and girls too embarrassed to get help for their conditions.
