We are the radfem meme circle
The Old Queen r/trollgc is dead, may she forever rest in power.
Long Live the New Queen at Ovarit: Radfemmery.
The Radfemmery is a place for users to share screenshots, memes, and gifs related to all aspects of radical feminism. We want to blur the line between being funny and serious, so that we can find humour and release in a world that's more often than not against us. Better to laugh than cry sometimes. All areas of radical feminism can be meme’d.
Moreover, The Radfemmery is where we gather round and share content from radfems/GCs meant for radfems/GCs. This circle is not for sharing the foolishness of TRAs, libfems, and men. That content belongs in o/TransLogic.

Do not redact the Twitter handles of TRAs and misogynists.
Verified users are always fair game.

Happy memeing~!
Is a Lion Still a Lion?
This children’s picture book seems to be very sensible and sending a clear message that someone (the lion) can wear a hat, dance and make polite conversation or any number of things you wouldn’t expect a lion to do, however, the lion is STILL a lion.
Some of the text includes:
“Is a Lion still a Lion if… he wears a hat?”
“Is a Lion still a Lion if… he carries an umbrella too?”
The lion then pushes his way into the home of the two child protagonists by saying,
“May I come in? Don’t mind if I do.”
The looks on the children’s faces and their body language show confusion, uncertainty and reluctance at this uninvited and unwelcome intrusion into their home.
The lion then creates a ‘fun’ atmosphere with wild dancing. The children’s instincts are dulled and they are won over.
The atmosphere changes when the lion’s true nature is revealed - he becomes aggressive and indicates he intends to eat them.
The children’s answer to the question “Is a Lion still a Lion?” is…
“YES! A LION IS A LION IS A LION! And now it’s time to Go! GO! GO!”
The children hide under the table and long table cloth, the lion lifts the hem…
“OR… Is it time to simply say… No!”
“No, you may not come in - we DO mind if you do!”
The children throw him out of their home.
The text continues,
“So please remember, A LION IS ALWAYS A LION!” And do you think he’d like to eat you too?”
The lion (in hat and holding umbrella) reappears with a smile and says,
“Mmmm…Don’t mind if I do.”
The children shout,
“No, no, no Lion! You may NOT!
NOW…SHOO!”
I just LOVE this book!
Based!!!!
Some of my takeaways:
*A lion can change his appearance with clothes and accessories but he is STILL a Lion, no matter what else he’s pretending to be.
*You should be wary of lions trying to enter private places where they do not belong - trust your instincts.
*Lions can hide their true intent through disguise and smooth talking.
*Lions can be very pushy and determined.
*You can say no.
If anyone else has read this book - I’d be interested if you felt similarly or had a different perspective.
I love it! This has a great message. Such a breath of fresh air amongst all the creepy grooming material for children:
"Let the lion in your house, kids, he's wearing a hat. Be kind to the nice lion."
