I see a lot of women here slamming TikTok for negatively influencing young women. While there is that very basic side of TikTok, there is also a wealth of knowledge there.

It took the algorithm about two weeks to fully understand who I was and what content I wanted to see. It knows I'm a black woman, radfem to some degree, philosophical, and like to cook.

I see so many people(especially men) complaining that TikTok is dumb and all it gives them are thirst traps. SIR, YOU ARE STAYING/LINGERING ON THOSE THIRST TRAPS. They sent them to me in the beginning too and it took me .000002 seconds to realize that I have to scroll quickly and watch things I want to see rather than things that just catch my eye. Skin catches your eye. TT knows that.

I started with cat videos then I started searching for black creators and followed some, then the FYP(for you page) started understanding what I wanted to see.

TT is not all libfem logic and terrible takes. My page is filled with WOC of all sorts and philosophers, and radical feminists you would never expect. It's an amazing resource! Please please please don't think it's just dumb shit, because it's not. I learn the most harrowing things on that app every week.

Start following feminists who align with you or who challenge you, accredited doctors who have HEALTH in mind, not selling you shit. These creators are out there and this is the best social media yet. I'm totally a convert and FDS needs to be bolder with their marketing of the page, hot damn. So many young women on there are FDS aligned it's crazy! The movement is strong and growing stronger.
