Gender Critical Feminism
Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.
Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women or 'identifying' as women. We condemn the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the cancelling of feminists and critics, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. Women are oppressed to exploit their biological sex characteristics, and women have a right to a movement that is about their own liberation from that oppression. We resist the redefinition of both "women" and "feminism" to make them serve men.
"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." –Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts
"Men often react to women’s words—speaking and writing—as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence. So we lower our voices. Women whisper. Women apologize. Women shut up. Women trivialize what we know. Women shrink. Women pull back. Most women have experienced enough dominance from men—control, violence, insult, contempt—that no threat seems empty." –Andrea Dworkin, Intercourse

Mother I'd like to get cookies from ✔️ Mother I'd like to learn witchcraft from ✔️ Mother I'd like to teach me ride a bike ✔️ Mother I'd like to tell me I am worthy of love and to take away all the pain of being hurt by my own parents ✔️ Mother I value for no other reason than to put my dick into ❌
Those smarmy replies 🙄 No lesbian, teen and brunette aren’t slurs because they can be used to describe women as human beings. Mother I’d Like to Fuck is literally derogatory because of the I’d Like To Fuck part. These people are so porn addled it’s pathetic.
It's pretty clear that majority of the replies are coming from TRA and men, somehow this is managed to become transphobic. There is one reply with thousand of like, said they like being called milf, it's too obvious, that most of those likes coming from men, they do like cherry pick the most pandering comment, to affirm their delusions.
I spotted a lot of anime avatars that almost always indicate TIMs but there’s always a few women who insist they looooovee porn and don’t mind being called derogatory slurs.
These guys all got problems with their moms. I worry about their moms.
This made the blood rush to my head with rage. Everyone in the replies KNOWS she’s right and love that they have words to humiliate women with. Someone needs to do something. The world is falling to pieces.
‘does this mean twink is a slur bc its a porn category bruh moment’
This got over a thousand likes. Where’s that asteroid? We’re lost.
OT but I remember when Tori Amos called herself a MILF in one of her songs. I do believe that was about the same time I stopped being a fan of hers. All of the good she’d once done as a RAINN ambassador, providing a sense of strength to other women, only to then degrade herself by proclaiming to be a MILF.
There are so many braindead comments comparing "milf" to "Asian," "gay" etc. Those other words don't have "I'd like to fuck" in them geniuses. I swear porn really does rot brains.
