The worst offenses against us predominantly affect women of color - child brides, fgm, honor killings, surrogacy, sex trafficking, etc. Helping women in general helps women of color because they suffer the most.
Nonnie is right, intersectionality in theory is great, but in practice just leads to a clusterfuck where everyone wastes all of their energy arguing over who is more oppressed and who gets to speak and on and fucking on. It's a pipebomb that completely disrupts any meaningful discussion and leads nowhere. Each axis of oppression is important enough to deserve it's own movement where they can really focus and get shit done instead of everyone using feminism as a dumping ground for every problem on the fucking planet except for issues relating to women's rights.

Met a radfem and we mutually want to become closer. We have so many specific aspects of our backgrounds in common.
I'm scared that in the case of a future falling out, though, she'll out me as a terf as revenge. I know this mindset comes from years of tiptoeing through toxic wokeoid culture online. But a lot of us in the RF community come from that, and I still see a lot of the old habits going strong.
Additionally, I know from having been very mentally unwell in the past and knowing mentally unwell people that you can do things out of character in the heat of the moment to hurt the other person.
As far as I know, she is reasonable and stable, and I'd really like to become close.
Should I just go for it and foster a friendship? Would you, personally, ever do this to a fellow radfem?
As an aside question… for those of you who have made radfem friends online, would you ever meet them in person? When you have radfem friends in a society where transphobia is extremely taboo, are you open about it? Or do you keep it between yourselves?
I've been a radfem for ages now, but the social aspect of these values that have to be kept under wraps still confuses me.

I was listening to a radfem podcast recently and one of the lines really stood out to me. It was something like "Saying women's bodies aren't inherently mystical is one of the primary ways female oppression is enforced". I have to admit, something about spiritual radfems makes me feel a bit embarrassed. I get that male-dominated science has been used to oppress women for centuries, but countering that doesn't mean we have to embrace mystical mumbo-jumbo. Men and Women are not inherently special, and we don't have to resort to evo-psych essentialism either. There has to be a more rational option.

I was watching an episode of a tv show from 2018 and a group of women were rallying together over something. they called this "pussy power". and it made me think about how commonplace the symbol of the vagina used to be in feminist circles or even just among women empowering themselves/each other and now has been completely removed. it's now only brought up in sexual contexts.
even when i google "pussy power" or "pussyhat feminism" (which i know was kind of cringe libfem shit but still) I can only find articles pre-2018 and things like picrel which call it offensive to trans people. and, of course, porn.
it makes me sad that we're losing this connection between feminism and our bodies. kind of jumping off what nonas are discussing above, but the vagina literally and symbolically is the source for life. and for it to become just resigned to just something "birthing people" have is bleak af.

I feel as though this argument is born out of the tension between nihilism/absurdism and existentialism than of feminism. Many religious and spiritual people are tended toward existentialist thought. It's okay to feel one way or the other, because at the end of the day we (as humans) are incapable of understanding the true meaning of life, except that to which we ascribe it. We shouldn't start insulting others because they are spiritual or skeptical—there is nothing valuable to be gained out of hostility, especially with regards to radical feminism.

this is from the comment section of contrapoint's latest 2-hour-long whine about JK rowling.
other than stupidity, what do you think the confusion is here for some women? do they really think we're saying that only women with wombs matter? I'm also a woman with endometriosis who has no desire to ever have children (never wanted to and am now in my mid 30s, unlikely to ever change my mind) but that's all the more reason for me to be able to speak about womanhood in relation to my biology. only women can get endometriosis, hysterectomies and anything else that makes them unable to get pregnant. only women can choose NOT to get pregnant (and be judged for it) and there are some places in the world where despite my choice, i might still get raped and have to birth that child. no matter how many of my reproductive organs cease to function or are removed, I will always be a woman and have lived my life experiencing things only a woman can experience, even if I try to pretend I'm not a woman. I have will always have something in common with every TIF, but have nothing in common with TIMs that is related to being a woman (nope, not even the stereotypes of liking makeup and shoes).
I'm guessing this is a result of libfems only seeing what TRAs paint radical + material feminists out to be? that we're all somehow right wing conservative tradwives who think women are baby making machines wtaf? we're not the ones calling women "birthing people". we're not the ones trying to remove the language and community that helped us fight for the rights we have now. I cannot tell if they are deliberately conflating right wing gender traditionalists with gender critical feminists or if the propaganda has really been so effective that women think feminists = nazi.
I'm not even talking about handmaidens here (although these 2 examples may be), but just ordinary women getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. they see radfems talking about female reproductive organs and assume that means we think only women with healthy/functioning/present reproductive system count. It's frustrating.
No. 13804
>>13773I didn't understand why so many TRAs brought this up because it sounded like a blatant lie to me, but later I came across a lot of "gendercrits" working under the radfem label who were gender essentialists hyperfocused on reproduction functionalities, like treating giving birth and breastfeeding as the definite peak female experience. Whenever radfem communities or activists are courting right wingers for "support" because of some "muh fertile mystical lifegiver goddess mommy, zipper tits are degenerate failed women" ideal it's just underlining the fact for any outsider. I know many, many feminist women who actually agree like 99% of all radfem ideas but because of the tranny question and the association with conservative groups they think it's
all about hounding troons and don't want to support them, and who can really blame them? That's like 90% of the discussion found in mainstream surface RF/GC-associated sites like ovarit that people come across, and even there it's bullshit like "all trans people are pedo rapists just like all gay people", not even regarding TIMs but TIFs too. How would one think a woman who only knows the nice, meek HSTSs and the cool lesbian trans men react to that? Especially when the only ounce of sympathy for TIFs is that exact kind of "poor misguided girls who will never breastfeed her baby" horse shit.
It's frustrating beyond comprehension, and anons here need to also understand how the movement is being observed by outsiders if they ever wish to reason with the people who only see them as evil conservative bootlickers obsessed with trannies. My local RF (which is now almost synonymous with "gendercrit") community keeps indiscriminately grabbing bigoted rumors and obvious lies and spreading them just to damage TRAs, only to fall flat on their faces in embarrassment because anyone with a half functioning brain can see that it's not true or is easily proven to be based on a bogus statistic.

Outside of online spaces radfems have very little presence and some women aren't even aware that there is an alternative to liberal feminism. The right embraces them and does not attempt to censor them. The right will never do anything for them but they are at least prepared to give them a platform. Many women have concerns about troons, sex work and the sexualisation of young girls. Speaking out against any of this is often enough to get a woman labeled as a conservative by libfems. The reality is that these women would be more aligned with radical feminism than the right.

An increasing number of women are becoming tardthots and tradwives because their exposure to feminism is liberal feminism that does not address their concerns and dismisses them as being "right wing".And an increasing number of women think gendercrit ideologies are full of middle class tradmommies having their gay panic moment because they're openly associating with conservative movements, sperg about "the left" not caring about women and sing the praises of openly misogynist conservative players for "giving them a platform". You don't get to complain about the masses of women gravitating towards 4th wave feminism and thinking you're not speaking for them or accusing you of being right wing if you think siding with the people who want to ban abortion or loosen sexual harassment laws is a reasonable. As a feminist I will always defend even the most conservative woman's reproductive rights and the right to her bodily autonomy and will help her when her husband beats her up, but she wouldn't do the same for me. Trying to make feminism more palatable for people like them is useless since it would mean giving up the core values of what female solidarity is.
>Many women have concerns about troons, sex work and the sexualisation of young girls.Sorry to tell you but right wingers are filled with rapists, pedophiles and their enablers and defenders too but I guess because they're not trannies it's okay.

>sing the praises of openly misogynist conservative playersI have done no such thing, I'm making an observation of what is happening and lamenting that it is happening.
>Trying to make feminism more palatable for people like them is useless since it would mean giving up the core values of what female solidarity is.Excluding women is not female solidarity
>Sorry to tell you but right wingers are filled with rapists, pedophiles and their enablers and defenders tooTrue but the difference is that the right claims to be against it while the left openly advocates for it. Normal women that aren't invested in feminist spaces are not aware of what is really happening and take the media at face value. The media actively covers up the illegal activities of politicians on both the left and the right.
>No, saying bonkers shit like "the right embraces us and gives us a platform!!!"But that's what's happening and it's an intentional tactic of the right.
>what gets you branded a conservativeAnd that's the problem. I'm not right wing and I have made no right wing statements or condoned the right, yet I'm a conservative for making observations. If women keep being told that they are conservative, they will eventually believe it. Censorship is cancer because it does not change views and opinions, it solidifies them and alienates people. Falsehoods should be refuted and the truth should be acknowledged.
>They don't "give us a platform", they weaponize cherrypicked gender critical views from us to throw it back in the faces of feminists everywhereExactly and it's working.

>>13868that's your response? the reality is internet interactions have become real life, to phrase it in clunky but accurate wording. your reaction to what I am talking about is not going to land with the majority of women.
when women wake up to how misogyny underpins the basic fabric of all human civilization(s) it is like waking up into a nightmare instead of out of one and the nightmare doesn't end. it is very possible to take a long, long time to begin to understand the nature of how deep misogyny goes. that's the point of it. they do not want women to ever understand the full situation and that is why it can take an eternity to wake up.
so when you have a woman that's woken up and she is met with the purity spiraling behavior online (because, now there is nearly nowhere in the physical world to discuss actual feminism or else one runs the risk of enraging the trans mob) and intense contempt what do you think she is going to do? of course, you do not have to give a fuck about that. that's easy to do and many do just that. sure, it is a vent or can be a venting session but it is venting about how much hatred they have for their fellow women.
again, they can either recruit for numbers (meaning, to not tear down other women that are NOT actively harming girls and women) or they can keep their secret cool club mentality. if someone/a group self-identifies as feminist but acts like they cannot stand their own sex women are going to not be interested.

Sorry if this doesn't go here, but I kinda need to vent right now.
The past 4 years left-wing political parties have been doing a bunch of shit in my country, like creating "trans laws", laws to change how justice will deal with domestic abuse and rapes, etc. Feminists were not happy with all these laws, especially radfems, and that's understandable. Most of them felt betrayed.
And today my country held local elections. The conservative parties won and the left-wing political parties lost a bunch of votes.
I know what happened is 100% the fault of left-wing supporters. I hate how we keep creating small political parties nobody gives a shit about, just because left-wing people can't bother to reach agreements between themselves. No. We need a political party for each one of us. Right.
Then you look at right-wing parties and there's like… two of them? And right-wing people vote them always, all their life. They don't go around making small political right-wing parties that catter to their very specific needs.
I go to Twitter and all I see is radfems laughing at how the well known/bigger left-wing parties are not getting enough support. Bitch, wtf? I know those left-wing politicians are pro-trans, but wtf? I very much prefer living in a country that is pro-trans, but where at least abortion is legal and homosexuality is not a sin. We even have a far right-wing party that is starting to get more and more support each year. And you are laughing? Stop laughing, this is no joke. These women are so naïve is insane. If you read their recent tweets about the elections you would mistake them for far right-wing supporters, because they are using the same fucking vocabulary and insults. Fuck off. You don't have the right to call yourself a radfem. You keep throwing shit at your own roof.
I sometimes get depressed when I look at the political state of my country. I hate how we have a far right political party that is getting more supporters. I hate it so much. But what I hate the most is how feminists can't fucking agree to do something together and fight all the conservative shit in this fucking country. It's not difficult at all, ffs.

This wouldn't have happened if we didn't have quatrizillion left-wing political parties dividing left-wingers and feminists went to vote.
Radfems on twitter keep talking about how they did this so they can "create a better left uwu". There's no "better left", because left-wingers are never happy. Like, literally, someone was posting about how she was casting a null vote because the left wing government was not fixing a particular issue she was unhappy about and I was like "wtf, so you are going to favor right-wingers then?".

They claim that women are just as physically strong as men, and can even be stronger, and that female athletes don't have the correct mentality because they don't compete against men and beat them. these radfemds(who aren't typically known for being sporty), claim to know more than actual female athletes and trainers because they simply regurgitate the theories of women studies professors from the 1970s

Have you all seen this Youtube content creator named Princella/The High Powered podcast?
https://youtube.com/@TheQueenMakerShe’s built quite a following using a lot of radfem talking points like how men are incapable of love and female separatism to people that haven’t heard them before but she acts like she’s the first one to ever come up with those concepts. When people point out that those radfem talking points have been around for a long time and mention other radfem activists, she gets really defensive and angry. She did a 30 minute segment in one of her videos angry about another woman “copying her work” even though she’s just been regurgitating radfem talking points herself.
Now she’s doing videos on how women should have compassion for men because of their suicide rates and how they’re
victims of patriarchy, leboohoo. She’s even mentioned before how she wants to talk to Jordan Peterson and she’s doing an interview with Charleston White who admitted to graping women. I think that she’s an egotistical charlatan. Maybe I’m not ~*enlightened*~ enough to understand her. She seems to use a lot of woo and
toxic positivity concepts too.
She’s one of those types where if anybody says anything contrary to her, she’ll immediately deflect and say that the person is in their ego so it’s a “them” problem, not her. I am happy radfem talking points are getting out there again, but not like this.

It’s been swirling around in my head the past couple of days, making me question if I’m interpreting her correctly because I’ve been getting really bad feelings from the way she has been acting when she’s presented with opposing viewpoints and from her spouting woo concepts. I’m not very good at articulating things like this but I knew something was off.
The fact that she’s making people question their reality is a bad sign in and of itself. She’s gaslighting people and she set up an environment where people have to walk around on eggshells and can’t speak out against her. Sounds like an
abusive and manipulative person to me, despite her claiming she’s all about love and positivity.
I’ve been watching her for a couple months too. I started to see red flags, like her slowly introducing woo concepts like the law of attraction and other
victim blaming type of spirituality like “you choose your parents” and “like attracts like”. It removes all accountability to the people who do bad things and like every good cult-like idea, it has defense baked into its foundations. "Oh, it didn’t work for you? That's your fault, you must not be believing hard enough." Same with her with her just immediately running to the “you’re just operating in your ego” excuse to shut down any discourse or criticism about her.
> If not having compassion for males that commit femicide or grape or anything like that means I’m “moving in hate” and not “spiritually enlightened” then oh well.THIS, so much.

But sadly we have to always keep our guard up and treat everyone with suspicion.
Women shouldn’t be told they need to let go of their anger about male violence. Society actually needs MORE anger at things like that. If anger is “spiritually low” or is going to prevent me from “ascending spiritually” then something is clearly wrong with the spirit world. It’s ridiculous how mystical types act like no one should feel anything other than peacefulness and love, much like how wrath is a sin in Christianity. I also noticed her express anti-vaxx stuff, which lines up with the woo. Your feelings are totally reasonable, don’t feel bad at all, nonna.

It makes me livid to see the ovarit losers in the US talking about how they're not voting for dems, shitty as they are, because of the trans shit. The right wing literally wants to get rid of abortion and no-fault divorce to force women back into being shackled to shitty men and pumping out babies. Trans are a miniscule portion of the population. Way more women in my life have had to deal with abortion and divorce than mtfs in women's spaces.
Trans shit has absolutely colonized feminist spaces, either in handmaidenry or reeing about how it's the number one issue women are facing. I swear I can't go a single day without someone bringing up being for against transgender shit. When I think about the major issues women face (poverty, domestic violence, unfair/uncompensated domestic/emotional/care labor, general reproductive justice), the amount of oxygen that trans shit takes up is dumb. Yes, the ideology is a big problem for talking about women's health and force-teaming women and mtfs/trying to tell autistic and lesbian women that they're not really women. But we have to prioritize if we actually care about liberating women. I'd rather collaborate with some he/they autistic female to protect abortion than team up with forced-birthers to remove gender identity from the law.

No. 18769
>>18765>What is radical femininsm to nonas, really?From Wikipedia: "radical feminism is a perspective within feminism that calls for a radical reordering of society in which male supremacy is eliminated in all social and economic contexts. Radical feminists view society as fundamentally a patriarchy in which men dominate and oppress women." This is a universal definition, which applies to everyone who calls herself a radical feminist. However, where radfems differ and can't agree on is how the liberation from patriarchal norms, culture, standards and roles will be achieved. Many believe that men's behavior as we see it now is inherent to them. Those radfems tend to advocate for separatism. But there are also those who believe that men's misogynistic tendencies stem from socialization and culture, and that changing laws and shifting cultural standards will fix the problem.
Personally, I agree with the she/her user in the screencap, it's men's nature, not nurture, so trying to collaborate with them on any level can only result in minimal or temporary changes. Males promise but don't deliver, or they deliver but take it away (referencing the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which didn't even get the backlash it deserved).
>and they speak of radical feminism like it's some self-defeating circle…one mostly centered around malesRadical feminism is exclusively centered around women, and is the only branch of feminism afaik that does not even welcome men to be members of the movement.
No. 18771
>>18765>What is radical femininsm to nonas, really?In a technical sense, I understand radical feminism as a branch of feminism that derived much of its ideological bedrock from Marxism and borrowed liberatory strategies from other contemporaneous leftist movements such as the Black separatist movement. Marx spoke on how women are exploited for reproductive and domestic labor, and this informed radical feminist concepts of how patriarchy functions and maintains itself. Whittled away to its barest essentials, it's about liberating women from patriarchy, which is conceptualized as a system with a beneficiary class (men) and an exploited class (women). What differentiated radical feminism from pre-existing feminist movements was its willingness to name male supremacy for what it is, and its insistence on taking radical action to dramatically re-order society and destroy patriarchy.
Proposed solutions varied quite a lot, and this did (and still does) lead to a lot of infighting, but the idea that radical feminism was a "failure" is pretty dubious and bad faith imo. No leftist movement has ever been successful at completely accomplishing its goals, but people love to leave "you didn't destroy patriarchy in the two decades you were active" at radical feminists' feet while ignoring the very real successes it accomplished for women. If that's the metric we're using, no movement has ever been successful, and that renders this person's entire argument pretty malicious and bad faith to me.
>and they speak of radical feminism like it's some self-defeating circle They love to frame radical feminism as self-cannibalizing because radical feminists rather famously believe(d) that "the personal is political" and therefore women can and should take personal action within their lives to support and uplift other women. This did (and again, still does) lead to a lot of friction among women because personal action can mean anything from "buy from woman-owned businesses" and "abort your male fetus." The nurture vs. nature debate is long-standing, and this person is right that you can slip into a self-defeating mentality because if males are just inherently evil and there's nothing to be done…then there's nothing to be done, that's where your movement stops. The human race cannot continue without males, so killing them all is not viable, nor is enslaving them (and that's putting aside most women would obviously not be fine with this.) But in modern times this is called being "blackpilled," and it's hardly a default radical feminist position. If it was, there wouldn't be so much literature on different strategies for liberation. Many radical feminists did believe it was nurture, and some believed it was a combination of both (but that nature could be curbed by nurture, or at least laws.) Some believed that the nurture was so powerful because we are so deeply steeped in patriarchy, it may as well be nature, and this is part of why many women started to separate. Even if it is fixable, oppressors aren't generally interested in ceding their power, and so the amount of class consciousness it would take to dismantle patriarchy in a systemic way was just not achievable, hence many of them just living on communes away from men.
There are a lot of modern day "radfems" who have never read theory and don't subscribe to radical feminist ideology in any meaningful way beyond tranny bashing (which wasn't even a lockstep position during radical feminism's heyday) and calling women whores (would certainly be frowned upon by OG radical feminists), but I chalk this up to social media brainrot. There are women on here who disparage radical feminists and everything they stood for while proudly identifying themselves as radfems. I don't necessarily affiliate with radical feminism because so many self described radfems treat it like a fandom (and are allergic to actually learning anything), but this Utena server person obviously has an axe to grind, and based on the pronouns, I think it's rather obvious why.

>>18772As far as I'm aware, we have not achieved parthenogenesis or two females having children together without the assistance of sperm from males. I just looked it up again and there's buzz about preliminary studies, potential experiments, etc., but absolutely zero cases of this actually being implemented in humans, much less successfully. This article is from 2020 and confirms they haven't even been able to successfully do this in mice yet (as the offspring generally die very quickly or are born with defects):
https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-slow-march-toward-the-first-same-sex-couple-to-have-a-baby but of course if there's some news story I am not aware of, feel free to share it.
It's very possible they will figure it out, but even if they do, we are just not going to be rolling out this tech quickly or affordably enough to replace males, at least not for a very, very long time. Further, many women are attracted to men and would not want to live on an all-female planet, simple as. I'm not one of those women (I am a lesbian who trends towards separatism), but attaching moral dimensions to sexual orientation is what gave rise to political lesbianism, and those women truly could not reverse conversion therapy themselves no matter how badly they wanted to. And even if they could, you are just never going to convince billions of women to let their male friends and family die, or convince them that it would make for a better society if those men didn't exist.
The "all female world" concept is a niche thought experiment that is wholly divorced from reality and what the vast majority of women actually want. It is so impractical for so many reasons it boggles my mind that anyone has actually tried to organize around it. It's a dead end and we need to put our energy into actually engaging with the reality we live in. And the reality is 99% of women don't actually want men to disappear, they just want their oppression to end.
Society could technically continue without males–IF we developed tech for women to have children without them, IF this tech was widely accessible, and IF billions of women agreed to eliminate the demographic they are attracted to and is full of their loved ones. And even IF all that was accomplished, it would still take a long ass time. These are not arbitrary hurdles, they are enormous gulfs that make this whole idea so impractical that it doesn't make sense to seriously propose it as a solution. I also don't see the point in building a world that other women wouldn't want to live in.

>>18765This person seems to have read a handful of feminist texts but doesn't actually understand anything. OG Radical feminists don't believe that men are inherently bad; if anything, they believed that men and women are much more similar than everyone thought at the time. Reading Shulamith Firestone and Andrea Dworkin and even Germaine Greer you see they were invested in the idea that men and women are not that different. Greer thinks women don't actually have more fat than men and that male scientists are just biased because they want "cuddly" women. Remember sex science in the 70s was way less advanced than it is today, so a lot of feminists thought/hoped that men and women weren't actually that different and women might be able to catch up with men physically. Firestone hoped we would have artificial wombs one day to free women from the burden of pregnancy and childbirth. This is not consistent with the idea that "men are biologically evil" at all. Both Firestone and (early) Dworkin advocate for the idea that in the future, men and women will be more similar than different and we'll live in a bisexual world. The only 'blackpill' to them was the idea that society had gotten so misogynistic that it would take centuries to undo all the harm.
Secondly, radical feminism didn't 'fail'. A lot of its points simply got absorbed into the mainstream. The idea that violence against women is one of the major ways by which men control women is a radical feminist idea. The idea that women's history is worth studying and that "feminine traits" should be reevaluated independently from men was a radical feminist idea. The idea that women should focus on female friendships is a radical feminist idea. Libfems can talk about how much they hate men and how sisterhood is good and how rape is a serious issue and how we live in a misogynistic society because radical feminists pushed the overton window.
The place where radical feminism failed is arguably too ahead of its time. The anti-porn movement was made at a time when porn was something only weird perverts watched, so the idea that porn would become mainstream and something everyone would be exposed to felt bizarre. Also, radical feminists were interested in reclaiming female sexuality (see Germaine Greer), so the idea of being anti-porn took a while to develop. Now that we live in a world where porn is everywhere, this critique of porn is far more poignant. I won't mention female separatism because that's part of lesbian feminism which was not actually a part of radical feminism and the two camps were often at odds.
The next time somebody makes these sweeping points about radical feminism, ask them which specific BOOKS they read. If it's a book summarizing feminist history, ignore them, because the amount of historical revisionism about second wave feminism is insane. Ask them - which specifics books BY radical feminists have they read? Woman-hating by Dworkin? The Female Eunuch by Germaine Greer? The Redstockings manifesto? If they can't tell you, ignore them, because their exposure to radical feminism is likely just the terminally online people on Tumblr (who also don't know anything about OG radical feminism) or liberal 'histories' of feminism that treat radical feminism as a side chapter.
If you actually want to learn about the history of feminism through the ORIGINAL WRITINGS of the time, I recommend picrel. It has writings from a wide variety of feminists from the 60s to modern day. It opened my eyes to how many lies I'd been told about feminist history. The idea that feminism "only" focused on white middle class women? A lie, there are countless references to the Civil Rights movement, socialism, even Vietnam. Feminism was deeply tied with other radical social movements of the time. (Obviously since a lot of the writers are middle class white women who went to college, they don't do the best job of covering other topics. But they definitely brought them up and tried, even when they failed.) And all the excerpts are from the time period. If you're ready for more critical reading, I also recommend 'Female Masculinities and the Gender Wars' by Finn Mackay. Finn wrote a book on radical feminism, and although she's definitely in the gender waters now, she absolutely knows her stuff about the history of feminism and radical feminism specifically.

>>18791>A lot of its points simply got absorbed into the mainstream. Ntayrt but I forgot to mention this in my comment and I think it's really important to emphasize this. Many women have radical feminists ideas rolling around in their heads and aren't aware that they are radical feminist concepts (and would likely be put off if they knew), and that's incredibly important and impressive given how thoroughly radical feminism has been misrepresented (even by self proclaimed radfems.)
However,
>I won't mention female separatism because that's part of lesbian feminism which was not actually a part of radical feminism and the two camps were often at odds.I think this is a tenuous position. Lesbian feminism was formed by radical femists due to discontent with their alienation within the movement, hence why many of them incorporated radical feminism into their names and theories (such as "Radicalesbians".) Many lesbian feminists perceived their movement as being located within radical feminism, not outside of it, and it's why major lesbian feminist theorists such as Audre Lorde, Mary Daly, and Adrienne Rich additionally called themselves radical feminists/radical lesbian feminists, have been recorded as radical feminists in historical documentation, are remembered as radical feminist theorists, etc.
I think there's something to be said for a "flattening" of radical feminism, an almost purposeful ignorance of variance of thought within the movement (such as differing beliefs on the ethics of butch/femme and female masculinity in general), but these schools of thought were so intimately interwoven it feels odd to try and separate them as being mutually exclusive/differentiated to such a degree we can no longer identify separatism as a radical feminist idea. Even when reading lesbian feminist writings, they frame their disagreements as ones with other radical feminists as a cohort rather than a wholly separated camp.
Sorry to autistically fixate on this one sentence out of a very well-thought out and articulate comment, I just hesitate to go so far as to say that the lesbian feminist theory that emerged from radical feminism as a movement was different, rather than related, and part of broader intra-community discourse.
That said, I have not read the book in your picrel, and have it in my cart right now (thank you for the recommendation, even if it was for someone else!), so it's very possible it will change my attitude on the topic.

What do other anons feel about the Madonna-Whore complex? I don't know what to call it, but there's a highly insane percentage of men who internalize this shit it's surprising to know of a man without a Madonna-Whore complex. There's also men out there who don't think their issue is sexual, but deep down, it pretty much is. They're more likely to give into it when they're depressed or extremely stressed. I don't doubt many men have these behaviors come to light in darkness and they're ashamed to be associated with it, but it's the truth. They're only genuinely nice to women they view as wife material or attractive, but when it comes to lust, all those core values are thrown out the window. Only the personally unattractive women and "women" could fuel this impulse, because the respectable women in their lives could not be such a sinful thing. The non-sexual side of it, a man could internalize the thought that a respectable woman shouldn't be tainted in some way, so he shouldn't taint her and would rather interact with those who are already tainted or are easily disposable.
People say this is a complex present in narcissists, which I can see as true, but I believe it also extends to those without narcissistic traits, such as the non-sexual part of it. The whole "This is Your Brain on Porn" where exposure to porn affects all relationships in life and even if you don't like watching porn at all. This shit runs so deep.
Many of my relationship issues surrounded the Madonna-Whore complex to some degree.
I had an ex who trooned out, one of the more ultimate ways to objectify women, he just decided he could easily "become" one to satisfy his desires.
I had another ex who was so sex/porn addicted, we wouldn't have sex for months. He would go out of his way to have sex with escorts and would donate to multiple women creating porn online. Within our long term relationship, he dropped over $11,000 to fuel his addiction. Meanwhile, we would be struggling to pay bills, barely ever spent time together, etc. This guy was a narcissist.
My current relationship, his Madonna-Whore complex was so extreme, he would reach out to types of women he wasn't sexually or romantically attracted to, with extreme mental illnesses and white, and men who objectify themselves as feminine anonymously. In his head, these interactions weren't sexual but more of a form of escapism, but this was something he kept a semi-secret from me, because he knew if I knew what he was actually doing, I wouldn't like it. When he was younger, he admitted he once had sex with a stranger, and had a moment of "what am I doing with my life" realization after it happened and called his friend in the middle of a panic attack to tell him he fucked up so bad while the woman was asleep on the other side of the room. During this relationship, I would struggle with not being sexually satisfied and not feeling like I was being cared for. He says, because I'm so unique, perfect, mature, and caring, being with anyone else wouldn't make him as ever happy as he's ever felt being with me. This mistake will forever haunt him. From my previous relationship, I made it an effort to tell my boyfriend when I felt sexually aroused and when I wanted him to hold me and touch me, but he would majority of the time push back with being stressed from everyday life, yet he had these fits in that stress where he would go out of his way, for hours in a day, to anonymously interact with people who fundamentally have no value to his everyday life.
How could we get men to recognize this shit is ruining their lives and their futures? Moreover, the non-sexual side of the whore complex as well, because that also affects the sexual side altogether? How early can we get boys and men to overcome this?
Overall, how can this be resolved so other women will not have to become victim to this complex at any degree, now and in the future? How can we have fulfilling long term relationships with men? Many of us want to be mothers, how can we secure a relationship when this complex exists?
Is the only way men can overcome this is to associate with men who have overcome that complex and who outwardly speak of the dangers of having such mindset?

>>18827The Madonna-Whore complex is most obvious in how men view escorts, women in porn, etc. As in, they see these women as disgusting, damaged, and not worth "bringing home to mama," but will still gladly sexually gratify himself to her exploitation. This is a core mechanism of patriarchy and how we socially understand women's sexualities: women must be sexually available, but if they are, they are garbage. This is because women are objects to be owned and prizes to be won–if you do not see women as fully fledged individuals with interiority, it makes perfect sense as to why they simultaneously desire and revile sex workers, to the point those women's lives are valued less than a farm animal's. The core problem is the way men refuse to see women's humanity. A woman is either a sex object or she is a potential wife, but she cannot be both, and neither one of these archetypes allow her to be a full person. In one of your examples, you point out a man who almost seems to view it as escapism–this is extremely telling because it further proves he sees them as fantasy, unreal in some way, intangible and therefore not worth respecting.
It would be easy to think women becoming Madonnas–virginal until marriage, submissive, and existing only for a man to fully understand himself as one–would resolve this, but it won't. This cannot be resolved without a dramatic dismantling of patriarchy, which would require dissolving marriage's power as an institution and abolishing porn altogether. Marriage was constructed as a way for a man to own his wife like property, not to join with her as an equal partner. That's why it was (and still is) legal in many parts of the world for him to beat, rape, and torture her. The false choice here helps women perpetuate their own suffering; many are convinced that if they can just become a Madonna, they can escape the dehumanization of the whore, but this is fruitless. In many cases, the husband will compartmentalize his attraction to women and his hatred of them, relegating the Madonna to domestic labor while seeking sexual labor from the whore.
Dworkin wrote on this in "Right Wing Women" (picrel), noting that many women are not aware of how false a choice this is. The Madonna and the whore both judge each other. The Madonna wonders how the Whore can accept being treated like she's for sale (an object), and the Whore wonders how the Madonna can accept being treated like she's property (an object). It's a Catch-22, an unwinnable, cruel game that women are expected to play within patriarchy, and the only individual way to opt out is, well, to opt out. Dworkin also argues in "Pornography: Men Possessing Women" that within patriarchy, women are just a "thing" while men are granted the privilege of humanity. Women are located within, not outside of, male ego.
She wrote, "Woman is not born: she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so." And I think it sums up what I think pretty well.

>>18827>it's surprising to know of a man without a Madonna-Whore complexMen created the Madonna-Whore box around women. The men these days don't even understand the Madonna-Whore cage, but the know they inherited it from many years of patriarchy and still use it, despite feminism tearing it down a lot the past century. It's their cage. It was completely made on purpose to steer us into either being wives to serve them or sex workers to serve them. Notice you can't be a normal girl who just wants to have some sex here and there. That can't exist in their paradigm.
It does not benefit any man when a woman is completely free like that. When we are free like that, they learn they must actually perform, like earing money, looking good, or behaving better. Men must become competitive to a win a woman's heart, which is the natural order of things. Just look at nature and how male animals must perform and impress the woman or literally have his genes die off.
>How do we fix this erosion of normal relationships?It is actually being fixed right now. That's what incels are perpetually whining about. They're so mad we have choice and nature's order is going back to what it was. We will not choose the obvious low effort men and they know they're genetic dead ends. It's why they hate intelligent women who understand all of this and why they perpetually try to dehumanize, hoping we'll believe we're lessers or like dogs or property when we're literally fixing a natural order system to remove bad DNA that the ancient patriarchy fucked up. They are terrified knowing they must do their best (which, their choice, they choose not to do) or they will die alone.

>>18827There was one Jordan Peterson video I agreed with is how intelligent women are single for longer in their lifetime and it's a good thing because she's weeding out the retarded men who try to approach her and the ones she dates who she realizes she's not compatible with. He said this to Mikhaila and she agreed.
With regards to incels, a lot of them could be smart, but they don't like the fact that just any woman wouldn't want to date them, especially a woman with a similar or higher intelligence as them. A woman having her own boundaries and making radical life altering decisions frustrates these men who are subconsciously expecting her to be instantly submissive, when he can hardly even prove he's trustworthy enough to be relied on.
Just thinking about it, so many intelligent men these days are too afraid to do anything, they'll point the finger at everything except themselves for the reason why they can't keep long term relationships.

What do you gain by yelling into the void and becoming "angry" over their willing exploitation? I understand this sentiment over things that are truly out of the
victims control like human trafficking and child abuse but these are adult people who choose to live like this. Its not your job to teach masochistic women to see themselves as human nor save them with a false martyr complex. These women play stupid games and consequently win stupid prizes.

You only want women to have a slightly larger cage. The only difference is that that anon focused on "how do we change men because women want kids?" whereas your focus is "how do we change masochistic women and how do we change men to work on themselves". Both posts may very well have fitted better in the vent/relationship threads. Radical feminism doesn't mean you become a braindead martyr for masochistic women and drop all critical credence nor is the goal of radical feminism to change men to be "better" so that they "work on themselves" as if radical feminism boils down to the female dating strategy lol. The purpose of radical feminism isn't to make men better and coddle masochistic women.

Renate Klein is an interesting case because she is very much an academic radfem of the second wave in most aspects. However, one decision and focus in her life pivots to more reactionary groups, and that is her fear against transhumanism. It seems to have started around the mid-80s with the publishing of her book 'Test-Tube woman,' and since then she has been obsessed with the idea that groups of billionaires are funding transhumanists who are going to destroy womanhood and humanity with their evil crimes against nature. In fact, she seems to have made fighting against this her life goal, which has led to some interesting outcomes. For example, she is against abortions of mentally "feeble people" because she thinks that eugenics is part of the transhumanist agenda. She is also against the pill because she believes it is unnatural. In essence, she is a crunchy radfem.

So they gaslight us on facts of how bad it is, yet are fully aware of it, by doxxing because it will get us harmed for speaking up on said facts. Marxists are pure evil.

You can create theory out of thin air, most theory is taking a bad idea and stretching a whole worldview from it. I think the reason we don't see more is the people who are attracted to this kind of work tend to be uninspired herd followers.
Solanas, barely of sound mental capacities, made theory without needing a man's grievance to derivate from. It's trivial.
The whole libfem/radfem dichotomy is ridiculous when being radical amounts to fitting your grievance inside a socialist dictatorship's plan and not being radically defensive of female rights. Seeing people scream "libfem! libfem!" at each other when they're both sadly not liberal gets tiresome.
Also this wave of Islam love on radblr is making me want to pay some plane tickets so these idiots can bet their heads instead of just LARP about it. That the most mysoginist movement of our time gets a hold of RF circles, seriously, how gullible and stupid are they?

>>21643>Solanas, barely of sound mental capacities, made theory without needing a man's grievance to derivate from. It's trivial. not really, Solanas was a psych major and her manifesto is just straight up Freudian psychology, the section about how men become 'trash' is literally just Freud's Oedipus complex with a misandrist twist and more crude language. There's another section where she claims that men rape women, not for pleasure or domination, but for deeply intrinsic desire to bond with the maternal object(Freud again)
Ideas don't come out of nowhere; they are taken from others, people change and adapt them, and often they evolve into different forms, radically removed or sometimes opposed to their original forms. Radical Feminist are not Marxists, in fact, they've had issues with Marxians for a long period. But most every RF will acknowledge that they have derived their theory from Marxist ideas, just like solanes derived her theory from Freudian ideas.

No. 22281
>>22280This specific post is right, though. As exploitative as basically all jobs that commodify women's bodies for male sexual consumption are, stripping is one of the lesser offenders. Anon is right that strip clubs are going the way of the dodo. They've been in decline for the last twenty or thirty years for a variety of reasons, mainly camgirls and shifting social norms. It's kind of insane that it was ever considered normal for men to get together with their buddies to pop boners at miserable women humping poles to shitty music. What the hell are they even doing together in that scenario? Collectively enjoying the act of degrading another human being? Like it's so creepy and bizarre that
even normie moids who don't understand shit about women's problems are increasingly uncomfortable with it. Most of the moids who still go to strip club are either trailer trash types or boomers who like it because of nostalgia or ineptitude with technology. When the old farts die, this thing will shrivel up and disappear with them. We don't need to intervene here, because the problem is solving itself (stateside, at least.)
Mail-order brides, surrogacy tourism, and prostitution (particularly in Asia and eastern Europe) seem to be the biggest magnets for human trafficking. I think we should focus on tackling that first instead of wasting our time fretting about a dying industry.
No. 22284
>>22281NTA and I basically agree with you but there's also an attempt to push the narrative that strip clubs "empower" women and are "part of queer culture", at least in my liberal western country. There was at least at one point a "feminist" strip club here, and bourlesque is being shilled as well. Admittably it's clear they'll never become mainstream. In fact, the strip club in question is already dissolving due to infighting among performers when some tif got offended by being told she (a woman with short haircut) isn't the sort of performer gay men would be interested in seeing, KEK
So even if it seems that the trash is taking itself out, I think it's important for radical feminists to be vocal about the fact that strip clubs are inherently exploitative and objectify women whether some individual woman might "make the free choice" to work there or not.

>>23210To answer whether pedophilia is natural or not for males, we first need to acknowledge that male sexuality is opportunistic and very much intertwined with aggressive impulses. Even the word "straight" only loosely applies to them. Many, many of them will have little issue indulging in unusual sexual behaviour once they get enough privacy, anonymity and/or authority and freedom from any consequences.
Unlike us, who evolved for thousands of years to develop instinctive mental brakes surrounding sexuality as in the end its our bodies that carry the toll of reproduction. Male sexuality never knew such constraints, and instead evolved to prioritize maximising the number of possible offsprings they have, which also led to the cross-over between aggression and erotic impulses as this mechanism also contributes to spreading the male's genes by overcoming the female recipient's resistance.
Rape and pedophilia, as well as the violence we see in pornography, are all the logical conclusion of this same mechanism, which may exist on a spectrum, when it's coupled with a low ability to empathize.

valid argument for eugenism and why any society that follows male's whims to follow what their destructive instincts tell them to do is doomed to fail.
Defiling innocence gets many males' rocks off, but it's not the number one criteria they follow to select their targets. How physically they are attracted to their targets also plays a role in their sexual behaviour.

toxic and should never be accepted, under any circumstances, because doing so is opening the pandora box that will lead to the downfall of social stability and ultimately to civilization collapse.
I understand that facing the fact that nature isn't perfect can be devastating at first, but it's an absolute must if we, as women, want to understand what we're really up against.
No. 23266
>>23265Yes, by using eugenics to target the genetic roots of male callous behavior, we could potentially reduce the prevalence of these harmful traits in society. This could involve identifying and modifying genes that are associated with aggression and lack of empathy, or implementing screening programs to identify individuals at risk for developing these behaviors.
To respond to your remark, throughout history, rape has been a taboo topic that has been criminalized on the basis of women being seen as men's property. The concept of rape being taboo was not necessarily due to the trauma inflicted on the
victim, but rather to protect the honor and reputation of the men involved.
This ownership mentality meant that any violation of a woman's body was seen as a violation of the man's property. Therefore, rape was criminalized not because it was seen as a heinous crime against the individual woman, but rather as a crime against the patriarchal system of ownership and control.
More evidence sustaining that theory is found through observing how marital rape was not considered a crime for much of history because it was believed that a husband had the right to sexual access to his wife's body at any time. This further reinforces the idea that women were viewed as property to be used and controlled by men. The trauma inflicted on the woman in these cases was often ignored or dismissed, as the focus was on maintaining the societal norms of male ownership of women.

The wariness around eugenics and bioengineering has nothing to do with being a "male worshipping pick-me" Even the most extreme man-hating radfems are wary of it because they are aware of the potential dangers it will cause.

>>23266Males love rape and you will never remove this from the gene pool period. It is fundamental to the sexual arms race and how gametes and reproductive strategies have evolved In nearly all mammalian and primate species. No amount of "shaming" will get rape seen as a taboo ever. Socialization can't trump biology, nature informs nurture not the other way around. The only forced solution like pointing to some far fetched eugenics scheme would be to literally castrate all males which wouldn't even prevent rape but it would at least prevent traumatic insemination, which I doubt you'd support that even since under your plan we'd need to preserve and reform your precious rape apes. This is just an elaborate and a little bit more spicy liberal feminist doctrine of restorative justice. Artificial wombs would worsen things and only victimise women and girls even more on demand. At least the victimizing is mostly only third world women and those in dire circumstance now, or from developed economies ones who actively want to be victimised. If artificial wombs were invented and normalised all women and girls would be targets and this pool of
victims would expand. Women would be even more degraded and girls and children would be as well. There is already a sacrificial class of women mandated, propped up and supported to be raped by men by men and women, with artificial wombs there will be an artificial class of women and girls to be raped by men. Unironically, the only way to win would be avoiding males and fostering the growth of only women and girls seperate from men and educating those generations of girls that this is reality and you can't socialise men out of it. Something that people are calling impossible in this thread because of some absurd argument that women are just too "moid thirsty".

> Males love rape and you will never remove this from the gene pool period"And we both conceded that they do so largely because their DNA primed them to do so.

It's another useful tool in the toolbox in the eradication of genetically-based harmful behaviour.

Unless we find so way to unlock parthenogenesis in the human female.
Another eugenic alternative to removing anti-female behaviours from males is giving females a lethal biological defense mechanism that can be
triggered when she feels male threat to be imminent. In my perspective, the ideal approach would be a combination of the two.

Regardless, no one is using CRISPR to eliminate male violence, male violence benefits males and females that collaborate with male violence. The
victims of male violence are abundant but hold little power over the extremely sexually dimorphic and hierarchical/patriarchal.
>Artificial wombs, if they ever successfully manage to replicate human gestation (which I highly doubt) will be high maintenance, expensive and only available to a handful elite members of society.I guess you agree that artificial wombs would be a net negative. I don't care if a million Epstein islands spawn from this, it shouldn't be entertained in the first place. You're forgetting that at least in our current reality in the developed world women can opt out of reproduction completely without repercussions.

I think we need to clarify what kind of separatism we mean. I think the separatism of leaving cities, quitting your job and shitting in the woods is stupid and pointless, but I think more urban-based separatism like Korean 4B is a lot more viable, like having a group of friends and sharing an apartment, sharing personal financial costs (this can potentially cause problems down the line) but it is much more programmatic and realistic) as long as most everyone involved is a mature adult it can work.

I've been considering making a sort of inspo board for myself, and decided to make one of the motifs to be concrete examples of women who have already achieved what I want. If you could drop a few names of women that you recognize to be intelligent, confident, pragmatic, successful (materially and otherwise), prioritize their own best interest and consistently maintain high standards for themselves – the type of women that misogynistic dogs would dismiss as cold ruthless bitches – I would love to hear about them.

>>24116Conversations about sex expose who's low iq truly lol. Female sexual domination is unnatural, natural straight sex dynamic is about women being empaths in sex and psychologically getting off on male pleasure. It's about serving men and what makes a slave like being a slave is pleasing her master, women get most stimulation from serving men in sex. The submission is biological not individual person choice. It's what your body is in relation with male and biology is the real life not anything else. Femdom can't exist, it's literally just women initiating pleasuring men, I saw a woman there say that she just wants to "coom" as a defense of sucking dick like a pig(cause it makes your face expressions look like a pig) but this act only physically pleasures men like wow it's soo different from any other sex anf you should definitely categorize it as "female dominance"!! Making men scream from pleasure is not female dominance. It's just women serving men,nothing new. Women aren't socialized to serve men in sex, it's biological like I said lol so femdom is just same shit as any other male dominance or actually its even more male worship. No bigger suifuel than these femdom women saying they love bringing men heavenly pleasure and pretending they dominate them through it. Pleasure women aren't able to experience and a person empathetically being pleased through pleasing others is a servant. If you psychologically don't get pleased by male pleasure then you have less than nothing in straight sex. It's sex work either way.

Looks like any other straight sex. Google pictures of sex to see human biology, female and male body in sex and tell me the female body doesn't even look servile. The way man and a woman can physically engage in sex only allows the woman in servile positions and the way female body receives stimulation is motion going inwards or psychologically from empathy for the moid. Only women in sex mentally are in a trance where they empathetically seek to please the other person and take their pleasure as their own. Femdom hoes can go to hell, I don't wanna read about men screaming in pleasure unachievable to me and women doing the most degrading sexual acts and getting psychological pleasure from sadomasochism and kneeling to men. See pictures of this act cause it exposes all of you femdom retards, how is this shit a domination!? And where the man reciprocating it all? He even can't and he won't even commit to you after all this pleasure anyway. The name femdom is misleading and when people start arguing with you about it claiming you're bad for stating facts then it just gets insufferable.

Womanhood is horror cause of our own biology first then men and rest some delulu misandry is cringe

“Woman does not dream of transcendental or historical escape from natural cycle, since she is that cycle… the ancients knew that woman is bound to natures calendar, an appointment she cannot refuse. The Greek pattern of free will to hybris to tragedy is a male drama, since woman has never been deluded (until recently) by the mirage of free will. She knows there is no free will, since she is not free. She has no choice but acceptance. Whether she desires motherhood or not, nature yokes her into the brute inflexible rhythm of procreative law. Menstrual cycle is an alarming clock that cannot be stopped until nature wills it… The female body is a chthonian machine, indifferent to the spirit which inhabits it. Organically, it has one mission, pregnancy, which we may spend a lifetime staving off. Nature cares only for species, never individuals: the humiliating dimensions of this biologic fact are most directly experienced by women.”

You also should read a lot, listen to podcasts and the news to find people with good arguments you can use in this process, and also talking points from the opposing side you need to learn how to address. You come to find things that work and discard things you don’t like or find pointless.
Arguing with people or presenting your thoughts to people gives you exposure to opposing views or pushback you can think about how to respond, research.

https://www.thetimes.com/magazines/the-sunday-times-magazine/article/meet-the-queen-of-the-trad-wives-and-her-eight-children-plfr50cgkAbsolute lunacy coming from this interview. The part about how she met her husband and their marriage really does it for me, she met him at college and he wanted to get married in a year, and then he literally got a flight with a seat next to her because she wouldn't go on a date with him, fucking stalker shit. She gave up her ballet career for this fucking moid:
“Our first few years of marriage were really hard, we sacrificed a lot,” she says. “But we did have this vision, this dream and —” Daniel interrupts: “We still do.” What kind of sacrifices, I ask her. “Well, I gave up dance, which was hard. You give up a piece of yourself. And Daniel gave up his career ambitions.”
This is an extremely depressing read. She clearly didn't want this but this fucking ape made her get married anyways and has clearly gaslit her into thinking its mutual sacrifice while this poor woman slaves away in the house taking care of the children while ALSO working the farm. She even talks about how her and her husband are "co ceos" in the middle of the article, but that's clearly just because this woman does all the work. At one point he even implies he wants more children and she clearly doesn't want to have more. Fucking mormons, I swear.

AI is genuinely the scrotiest thing to ever exist. It's almost reflective of you average moid. It's lacking of creative, money-sucking, whorish, and brain numbing. It literally only exists to serve scrote desire, moids use it to cheat in school because they know they don't have the brainpower to think without it. AI further proves the fact that moids are subhuman, they cannot think for themselves and must have a machine do it for them. It's so depressing and i doubt any legal advancements will be made on it before it's too late. It's always scrotes putting their slop into art competitions, begging for their collage of stolen art pieces to have copyright protection, using AI to scam the elderly. But, out of everything, AI porn is possibly the most subhuman thing to ever be created. It's so chimpanzee like, they just mash a few buttons on their computer and get naked photos of little girls or some shit to coom to. If you think scrotes are in any way intelligent or human, i want you to look in AI shill spaces and see how subhuman scrotes truly are. Not to mention the fact they use AI garbage to blackmail women is even more depressing. I also hate every single coomer woman who shills AI and sperges about how "WELL ITS ONLY BAD WHEN MALES MAKE AI PORN!!" Knowing full well that if any restrictions are put on generative AI there's no fucking way they can be sex discriminatory towards males, especially in the US. Shit like this makes me hate straight women. No one cares if you can't coom to your thick-necked husbando bot if certain types of uses for generative AI ever get banned, feeding into the machine hurts real women. It's funny how sex dynamics replicate themselves to even the totally "chill" celibate straight women, you're being a pick-me to your husbando even if it means hurting teenage girls. You're mindlessly, brain-droolingly mashing buttons to create a poorly made photo of a 2D scrote instead of building passion for a skill like how it used to be. It's so pathetic.

If you're tilted just say so or go back to the BP containment thread especially if you cannot handle any commentary on female politics in the modern world other than just dooming. The cattiness just makes you look hurt. You don't understand how generative AI works in any capacity if you think chatbots don't contribute to making AI better. All AI is shit and should be abolished. If you were fine with not breeding with scrotes before AI existed then you should be fine without AI. You are not being forced to date/fuck subhumans if your AI slop is taken away from you. By using any form of generative AI you are making it better, therefore worsening the effect of things like AI porn, non-consensual chatbots of random women, and just AI slop used by scrotes in general. You have had other forms of media you could resort to before AI, generative AI in it's modern form has only conceptualized very recently so if you don't remember a time you could've had content about your husbando scrote you're probably not over the age of 12. AI is a very new concept, again, so it makes sense that most women on this website don't understand how it works or how it improves but don't get tilted when you're told that, yes even your innocent (soulless) chatbot feeds into the overarching issues of AI generated content. AI isn't like other forms of degeneracy where you can just consume it in a vacuum without it harming anybody (as a woman, of course), it all feeds into eachother. As one girl's scrote faggot chatbot improves and gets human feedback, a moid's chatbot of a deceased woman will improve, vice versa. And before you go full schizo mode and accuse me of forcing you to submit to some ugly scrote, I believe in separatism and I believe that straight women shouldnt fuck scrotes or breed with them but has absolutely no correlation with feeding into a machine that's used by scrotes to degrade women and little girls. So yes, a broke celibate yume who wants to avoid scrotes at all costs, as based as she may be, her using AI may actually be more harmful to women as a whole than one may think.

>>35155>Isn't that better to create AI porn instead using real women?Ai porn is trained off of women’s likeliness (and little girl’s), and ntm males often use it to harass women they hate. Remember what happened to taylor swift? Males just use Ai porn for stuff that’s “off limits” because they can’t be prosecuted for it. Hence why regulations on what Ai can and cannot create is needed. Even outside of porn regulations are needed, there’s major issues with it relating to copy right. Anybody who thinks that this type of generative AI can be good doesn’t understand that most of this was rushed out because of investors. Reminds me of NFTs if they were actually destructive

If you seriously think a scrote making a chatbot of a deceased teenager has any care for how they twist her likeliness then you need to go back to the other boards. It's like when scrotes make drawn porn of dead women, imagine if a scrote did that to you hypothetical daughter. Even outside of death, scrotes use chatbots to make real children, celebrities, women they know irl etc etc. Who cares if it's not real, you are using someone's likeliness. Reminds me of the case of the girl who had her face photoshopped onto porn then killed herself. The "WELL IT'S NOT REAL" argument doesn't really hold up with AI, Ai is trained off of real photos and like I said, sometimes real CSAM.

>>35166>"One's likeness" is a literal chatbotIt can also be art, writing, movies/films(like you brought up), sometimes even porn. It's simply a representation of someone living or dead. It does not matter if the chatbot isn't a perfect representation of them, it's still a representation. Why do you think the chatbot was taken down in the first place? It was using the deceased woman's likeness negatively, therefore
representing her negatively. This is a very easy concept to grasp. The chatbot in question had her face as the photo, used her real name, and was made to represent her. It really is that simple. This is like saying writing a character in a book named "taylor swift" who lives the exact life as taylor swift, who is described as taylor swift, who is pictured in the cover of the book, and who the author states is a represent of taylor swift is somehow not using taylor's likeness. Do you see how your point does not stand? I could say "Well, it's a literal character in a fictional story, how could it be using her likeness?" but I'd sound retarded. Now, I want you to answer this, for what reason would a scrote create a public chatbot of a deceased girl who he has never met if he is not being malicious? Again, you have too much faith in scrotes.
>You keep bringing up unrelated tragedies such as photoshopping people's faces onto porn, but chatbots have nothing to do with that.How is this a false equivalency when I have mentioned it pertaining to how ones likeness, face, representation of them is used? If you are photoshopping someone's face onto porn, you are using their likeness. You are using their representation, their portrait. Again, this is an extremely easy concept to grasp. I'm simply making comparisons because AI is relatively new and has many similarities to past cases of this nature. There is literally a crisis relating to deepfakes right now in south korea, you can look it up for yourself. Your arguments really hold no weight as you seem to just be picking out one thing I say and then writing a sentence about how you don't understand it kek

>This is like saying writing a character in a book named "taylor swift" who lives the exact life as taylor swift, who is described as taylor swift, who is pictured in the cover of the book, and who the author states is a represent of taylor swift is somehow not using taylor's likeness. This isn't at all similar to chatbots, using Taylor Swift's name and image and writing a character that shares similar life experiences to her without her consent in a story and publishing that story is illegal, and it is illegal because portraying Taylor Swift negatively, even in a fictional story, will negatively affect her reputation. But analysing Taylor Swift's twitter and blog posts and telling an AI to type like her is not illegal, because the way Taylor Swift writes is not specific enough to identify her out of any other person.
And by the way, a person writing a fictional story that they do not publish about Taylor Swift being an evil rapist murder is not illegal, but publishing that story is illegal. What would be illegal with regards to chatbots is to train it to type like Taylor Swift and then tell it to say that it committed heinous stuff, and then PUBLISHING those conversations online is illegal, because again that would be slanderous and ruin her reputation even if the publisher of the chatbot messages stated that Taylor Swift didn't actually write those messages but a chatbot. But someone training their chatbot in PRIVATE to type like Taylor Swift and depict her as an evil rapist murder, is NOT illegal, since because those chatbot messages are private Taylor Swift's reputation wouldn't be affected.
What makes chatbot depictions of real people illegal or not is whether such depictions slander the reputation of those real people, whether they're alive or dead.

It’s not that it’s real, it’s that it’s degrading, disrespectful, misogynistic, and used to harass women/girls and their families. More should be done by lawmakers to regulate AI so women are protected from more of these cases
>PRIVATE to type like Taylor Swift and depict her as an evil rapist murder, is NOT illegalWhen were we discussing the current legality of it lol? The point is of what regulations could be put on artificial intelligence in the future and the morals of it now. The point i’m making in the hypothetical is that that’s a representation of taylor swift, legal or not. either way using one’s likeness to create a chatbot without their consent, or if they’re deceased, with their family’s disdain
should be illegal. I don’t see how this would harm women who like fictional chatbots either. You should know how little restrictions there are on artificial intelligence there is right now. There’s pressure from investors and bigtech is going to shove it in anyways. It’s undeniably rushed and has no protections on who the AI represents, so my point is that AI should have further regulations due to how accessible it is. With other mediums it’s much easier to check for what is legal or not. AI not so much. It’s clearly a medium that needs restriction and the cases i’ve used of women/girls and their families being harassed with its uses are clear reasons as to why.

>>35043loneliness hurts women more. Should women who can't make friends or have a social life kill themselves then? so some worthless roastie doesn't have an ai chatbot made based on her which ultimately doesn't actually harm her unlike image generators.
Stop acting like you care about women when you see socially inept women as not real women but autists who should kill lthemselves.

>>35274I hate it too because it steals the hard work of everyone, it will be used to take intellectual labor from others more in the future. Using children and women as your protective meat shield against AI is pathetic, especially when you're not even addressing the root cause of the problem. AI steals from people, their family photographs and personal writings, their labor and work. That matters more than some women whoring themselves to an algorithm that then is used to make child porn easier. That's existed for decades at this point. Adult women participate in teen porn and play into auto pedofilia. It's obvious what the real problem is and yet no one is willing to acknowledge it. Even

I'm anti police abolition, pro police reform. It's a no brainer we need law enforcement to keep bloodthirsty moids in check. But the cops need to do their jobs and stop focusing their energy on taking bribes and oppressing minorities for their criminal masters.

so trump won and the manufacturing of consent against federal agencies/the administrative state project 2025 promised is apparently under way. what about project 2025s promise to outlaw pornography? how can we take advantage of this being on the agenda to actually get rid of 60% of worlds hosted porn and criminalize it?
below are most porn mentions in project 2025. i am busy and it’s like 900 pages so i haven’t read the whole thing but i think we have to take the opportunities we get to deal with this problem.
last time radical feminists like dworkin and mackinnon tried to ally with the right to deal with porn they didn’t criticize their allies Cold War and anti worker agendas and we ended up with more sex trafficking and more porn and neoliberalism radfems try to pretend to criticize - where was the criticism from dworkin etc when neoliberalism was happening and her allies were the ones doing it?- so I think that was a major mistake and this time we have to get them to fulfill their promise to outlaw pornography while also not allowing them to get away with their other reactionary agendas. ideally. i don’t want to be the one who does it bc i have a million other things to do, its not interesting to me really, still it’s the reality of the situation i never see anyone address properly. so ill just say that bc it’s the facts of the matter.
>and children suffer the toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries. Overseas, a totalitarian Communist dictatorship in Beijing is engaged in a strategic, cultural, and economic Cold War against America’s interests, values, and people—all while globalist elites in Washington awaken only slowly to that growing threat. Moreover, low-income communities are drowning in addiction and government dependence.
>Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.
agree
>Support legislation that scraps Section 230's current approach. The FCC should work with Congress on more fundamental Section 230 reforms that go beyond interpreting its current terms. Congress should do so by ensuring that Internet companies no longer have carte blanche to censor protected speech while maintaining their Section 230 protections. As part of those reforms, the FCC should work with Congress to ensure that antidiscrimination provisions are applied to Big Tech-including "back-end" companies that provide hosting services and DDoS protection. Reforms that prohibit discrimination against core political viewpoints are one way to do this and would track the approach taken in a social media law passed in Texas, which was upheld on appeal in late 2022 by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.20
>In all of this, Congress can make certain points clear. It could focus legislation on dominant, general-use platforms rather than specialized ones. This could include excluding comment sections in online publications, specialized message boards, or communities within larger platforms that self-moderate. Similarly, Congress could legislate in a way that does not require any platform to host illegal content; child pornography; terrorist speech; and indecent, profane, or similar categories of speech that Congress has previously carved out.

>>37539nyart but why the fuck are people getting their panties in a twist over banning porn?
It should be banned, ESPECIALLY internet porn. Like am I the only one who sees how twisted and pedophilic it inherently is that mainstream porn sites don't even require an account to get access to it?
Any fucking 4 year old can hear the word porn, wonder what it is, google it, and BAM. Instant, non direct, early exposure to every single fucked up sexual fetish under the sun. As soon as they can spell it they can fucking see it.
Porn definitely should be banned, but in the meantime the fact that porn is THIS accessible to little kids makes me want to fucking puke.
No. 37564
>>37556Listen, when a scrotling with negligent parents gets some weird fucked up rape fetish because he went to pornhub as a little kid and grows up to be a predator as a result, it DOES become my problem.
Idk why you think making internet porn less accessible in the slightest is so oppressive. Saying "the government isn't here to babysit your kids" is stupid as shit. You could say that about mandating car seats for babies. It's just stupid. nona.

>>37556>if children can easily access pornKids hear from porn and sex at a very young age and seek it because it's forbidden, because they reach an age where they start thinking about it (normal thing) and they're naturally curious. Seeing it once already does damage, then if their parents are asleep, busy with chores, doing anything but hovering over them it gives them an opportunity to go back and re-traumatize/warp their brain with porn, which they don't immediately realize because
all children, regardless of intelligence, struggle with long-term thinking. Hell, even grown adults like you don't get it kek. I hope you're bored and trolling because this is, word for word, the coomer/libfem argument against cracking down on porn. If you were bolder you'd argue for decrim of CP since banning it didn't instantly end the problem, wait, some coomers argue for that already

>>37574>parental problemBut people must sleep, eat, get busy, no one in the history of humanity has been always present to watch their kids, not even helicopter parents. You can't completely control what children are exposed to unless you're in a cult or live in an extremely remote place because kids go outside, they have access to phones (even if they don't have one). You're being purposefully obtuse. And no one is arguing that a porn ban would completely solve rape, literally no one.
You don't want to see that pornography being so freely available has set back women for a century because it means we have to do something about it. You want to take the boring, expected defeatist position that consists of saying 'there's nothing we can do, it's too scawy, people are mean, they hate us' or 'men will always rape and subjugate and there's nothing we can do politically to curb that because wah wah we're powerless, better be le based witches in secret'. With 'friends' like this women don't need enemies.

>>37579nyart but this person is just being obnoxious. Even when I suggested just having porn be less accessible to kids, like requiring an e-mail and/or an ID this anon freaked out about it.

Of course, banning it would be good too. I mostly just don't want kids exposed to it because porn really fucks with the brain.
