I've recently got interested about feminists currents, I'm currently reading The Second Sex by Simone De Beauvoir. Could you recommend me some books? Since I'm european, I'd prefer european authors. submitted by /u/giostraia [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

The more immersed into radical feminism I become the shorter my patience with men. I’m finding this difficult at work. I work in the medical field where i see the workings of a patriarchal society everyday. My real issue is with one of my coworkers. Although i believe he means well, he is an extreme mansplainer, constant talker, unable to listen or self reflect, and believes he knows everything, to name a few personal observations. I know that society has allowed him to be the way that he is without enough repercussion to have any meaningful change. I find myself exceedingly annoyed with him ..read more

TLDR; Basically just the title. Can it be done right, or will it always be a form of objectification in our current society? Interested in your thoughts! — Some contextual background: I am fairly new to the radfem community (~2 months) but not new to the ideas and beliefs commonly shared within it. I came across “the banned sub” by chance and finally seeing how many others felt the same way was such a great relief. Since the bans, while waiting for the new platforms to get set up, I’ve dusted off Tumblr after hearing about the active radfem community there. The thing is, my Tumblr account is ..read more

I know the radfem perspective is usually against pregnancy, but I became so attached to my daughter as soon as I found out I was pregnant. It's been over five weeks since the main bleeding, and my pregnancy hormone levels are about back to where they were pre-pregnancy. I am full of this incredible grief and nothing makes it go away. I'm writing this on my way to the emergency clinic to see if they can give me medication or something. It is like this darkness that never goes away. I can't even go to the store usually now because the sight of toddlers and baby carriages makes me cry in public ..read more

If--as Ti-Grace Atkinson maintains--men have a natural need to oppress others, and women do not, then how can men and women coexist in a radically feminist state without women acting contrary to their nature and oppressing men? submitted by /u/PRlME_MlNSTREL [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

First of I will trat my friend (not a very close one) as he because I am used to it as I use his preferred pronous for him. I am getting into radical feminism but still have some doubts on certain subjects about transsexual people like this one. My classmate in university is a trans female who's on hormonal therapy. He is an actual transexual, not a Tumblr trans, if you know what I mean, so he actually attempts to pass as male. After Women's day earlier this year he commented that he would have liked to assist as he faced misogyny for a bit over than 20 years before transitioning and most sub ..read more

I'd prefer a website or form, but I'm open to video channels too. It seems like anything made for women always gets lumped in with junk like, "Get beach body ready, get a flat tummy, a bubble butt, and that thigh gap!" I'd rather not. But content made for men seems like it's biased toward strength. What about speed, endurance, and flexibility? I'm not sure how much advice I can take from men's fitness either. What content creators or platforms do you follow that's free of beautification? submitted by /u/CherrylikeFeather [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi! Before I begin, I want to say that please take easy on me as I'm only trying to see things in an objective perspective and english is not my first language so there could be things or facts I comprehend wrong. Also, if this topic has been discussed before or I'm posting it in the wrong subreddit, sorry beforehand. I investigated these topics as my doubts of my beliefs started to arise. Why trans people think and feel the way they do? Is purely by society and their gender ideas or there's something more? I wanted to believe I was wrong having these kinds of doubts, so I went further to see ..read more

I often hear people expressing concern around either trans women (or cis men pretending to be trans women) using women's spaces. However, I was wondering where trans men fit within such narratives. Presumably, if trans women are expected to use men's bathrooms, then trans men would be expected to use women's bathrooms, but then what about trans men that pass as cis men. It is often easier for trans men to pass as cis men so if everyone was to use spaces in accordance with the sex they were assigned at birth, then women would end up with trans men in their spaces, and in many instances, they w ..read more

When I first saw Women for Trump, my first thought was "what's next - Jews for Hitler?". I'd like to know why so many women support a misogynistic asshole. I am no expert on women's anything, but I'd like to know what they are thinking. submitted by /u/AuroraHills [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
