I mean, it’s almost like libfems’ conception of radical feminists as hysterical hairy women obsessed with the termination of trans women, is directly evolved from a male-controlled mainstream media in which radfems are hysterical hairy women obsessed with the termination of men
as if the actual pillars of radical feminism aren’t anti-capitalism, the fight against domestic violence, rape, porn, exploitation of women’s domestic labor.
liberal feminists will continue to celebrate the framework of women’s rights that second wave feminists built: roe v wade, equal pay act, divorce laws, etc. And then quote them, appropriate the language of radicalism, and meanwhile erase the actual women and movement that they’re quoting.
there’s a reason why if you’re looking for anti-porn, anti-prostitution, anti-bdsm, anti-consumerism of feminism, or any important pillar of radical revolution, your options are so scarce in third wave feminism. more and more women are realizing that and searching for a source of protest to these issues, and finding it with the same women they were told not to listen critically to, but to block completely.
Wake Me Up Inside has become a real joke but you all are lying if you say that you wouldn’t have loved lyrics like “bid my blood to run before I come undone and save me from the nothing I’ve become” if it was presented in a folk song on Sufjan Stevens’ Carrie & Lowell.
My inner 13 year old self is screaming because the song isn’t called wake me up inside it’s called bring me to life you fucking fake goths
