I love Dworkin. I’ve been moved to tears reading some of her stuff because it’s so true. I think I’m gonna go and read some Dworkin this afternoon.

Yes, men react to women’s words as if it was violence. Meanwhile men can be blatantly misogynistic with no consequences and they will never have to feel threatened or silenced by women.

Australian women attended March 4 Justice events.

Our Prime Minister, the raging narcissist Scott Morrison, said " Not far from here, such marches, even now, are being met with bullets, but not here in this country"

"Blokes don't get it right all the time, we all know that, but what matters is that we're desperately trying to."

That's right, another bumbling male is the highest power in the country. Telling us we're lucky we're not being shot.

Something that our sad lurkers seem to not understand - this is a subreddit that embraces radical feminism and you aren’t going to change our minds. We don’t want men that are threatened by this. If this is you, just assume we aren’t interested and move on

This is so very representative of my experience last night.

It was my friend's birthday and like always I'm 100% sober the entire time.

Joe gross-a-lot approaches me. From the get-go he is a bit intense. He's an attractive guy and at first I respond positively because he's "listening" and being pretty okay.

Then he gets drunker and starts staring at me while sitting next to me and get this... He starts massaging the couch pillows he is sitting on. Like putting his hands between them and squeezing them intensely all over... While staring at me.

I'm like, "Buddy you're making me extremely uncomfortable and either you stop or I'm leaving. You're ruining my enjoyable conversation with my friend here."

He got all I'm so innocent. "How am I making you uncomfortable, what did I do?" While continuing to stare. I ended up switching seats to get closer to my friend and turned completely away from him and not even responding.

There came a moment when again he moved too close and said "you look so angelic that I don't think you've ever kissed a guy." and I told him, "I'm not talking about that. You're being crazy weird, inappropriate af and you need to stop talking to me or being around me because I was enjoying myself until you came around."

He heard that one. He got super offended. "This blonde girl is so beautiful but she is such an ass..you're full of shit. How could you be so mean when you have never even french kissed with a guy. I'm going to be a famous musician one day and you'll regret this. Have a nice fucking life."

"I told you, you were beautiful, doesn't that mean anything?" No, bud. It means nothing.

And it's funny because it's like I'm reliving all these situations from when I was in my early twenties and I pretended to be nice but I'm in my thirties now and I get to be the 'bitch' and tell him to go fuck himself.

I also saw this 60yo lady defend her absolute peto creepy Scrote who was enamoured with two 14ish year old girls who were my friend's neighbor's kids visiting for the weekend, calling them 'so smart for their age.'

"He just recognizes positive qualities in people."

"No. He's being a fucking creep with children. I shouldn't have to baby sit a grown man being around young girls."

I wanted to sleep before driving an hour home at 5am but I definitely did not feel safe around these scrotes.

radical feminism has been the ultimate level up for me because it forces you to live in the real world not some cope fantasyland. I am a huge fan of Dworkin's work and 2nd wave radfems, they were geniuses

DallasM19 · 2021-03-28T16:33:43+00:00

I literally asked my boss if my hours have changed when I was wfh for two weeks. That's all. "hey, have my hours changed?" Bedside he was expecting me to stay till 5-530 when my hours are 830-430, and I am salaried therefore no extra money for staying late.

He told me I was "aggressive" and "rude".

Excuse me???

They will never understand or choose to understand and that is why I will never trust a man to be honest, forthcoming, or without malicious intent. At this point it's too risky to be otherwise. It's not worth giving trust on the onset right now. It's just too dangerous.

LadyE123 · 2021-03-28T16:40:21+00:00

Dworkin for the win again! If only women heeded her words then. No lies detected. Men are generally too egomaniacal and sociopathic to see this obvious truth and women are too masochistic and scared to face it en masse. I'm facing it by not creating more men, I can't stand to think of a son of mine harming or feeling superior to one of my sisters (women in general). A world of women is a world of peace, crime would plummet, this position is 100% logical but it would take an act of nature, ex machina.

Andrea Dworkin was absolutely hated by men. Her works are amazing, brutal and true. I will always admire the absolute gall she had to put that on paper and defend it against the world. Thank you, Andrea

What I've seen is that men put the ''crazy'' label on women if they have a voice, a reaction. Even if their reaction is justified, or not exaggerate, they will express themselves as the woman is some rabid creature.

Last time I've seen this is just some days ago, on social media, some guy was making fun of certain kinds of people in a public post but he wrote incorrectly. And a woman told him he should check his grammar first and learn how to spell rather than spending time making fun of categories of people. And he said she was reactive, over the top, crazy and that she needed therapy.

The funny part is that he was the one overreacting to what she said (projection much?).

What kind of blew my mind was realizing that a huge part of the reason WHY men react so angrily and defensively to women criticizing men as a whole is that THEY ALL KNOW just how terribly men have treated women and they subconsciously EXPECT that if we talk about them in any denigrating way, the way they have for centuries, that that is a precursor to us beginning to oppress and abuse them in exactly the same way they as a class have done to us for millennia. However, even full blown hatred of men by women is expressed as wanting to not interact with them, NOT wanting to deprive them of jobs, votes, ability to choose where to live or who to marry or subject them to constant intimidation in public and a never ending series of murders by women they know and loved as well as by strange women. We choose avoidance, not exploitation and slavery and killing. The more afraid of feminism a man is, the more likely it is that he has an evil mind and heart.

I talked about not getting an abortion if I got pregnant and people acted like I was raping the man. He knows the deal, dont have sex with me if it's a dealbreaker.

Treating boys as if they’re gods contributes to this. They don’t learn how to handle disagreement.
