“Prostitution is inherently violent because, by definition, it involves unwanted sex.

When both parties actually want sex, no one needs paying, because sex in those circumstances is its own sweet reward.

So if one party is paid, it suggests she doesn’t really want it. And unwanted sex is a violation of the integrity and dignity of a human being. So right there, at its core, prostitution is violent.

But the violence doesn’t end there…”

But apparently total legalisation makes us just SO safe…

These figures are shocking, but an absolute testament to how total legalisation fails women on every level.

I think the data for Netherlands is a bit skewed, because it includes data from 17 years BEFORE prostitution was legalized in 2000.

For comparison Sweden has a population of about 10 million and Germany of about 83 million, so the expectation would be Germany having 8 times as many murders.

I was going to share this meme, but then I noticed the time frames listed are all wildly different. None of these numbers can be compared the way they are.

The Netherlands stat goes back much further than the others and spans the date of legalization, but the others are all shorter spans than Sweden, and are entirely within the Sweden period. More murders from just a fraction of the time I think says something.

Welcome to The Radfemmery!

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.

Updated as of 17 Apr 2022.

Posts can be removed by mods for any reason for the health of the community including ones that don’t land or are confusing.

Tip: If you aren't sure where a post should go, check out o/ItsAFetish and o/TransLogic to decide whether or not those would be better circles to post in.

Rule 1: Appropriate Posts

Memes, screenshots, and gifs ONLY
NO text posts or copypasta.
NO linking to news articles or outside websites, even those satirical or sardonic in nature.
Stick to visuals.
NO PORN VISUALS OR TEXT (They fit better at o/ItsAFetish)
NO genital pictures, including neovaginas and neophalluses. Mastectomies and breast implants will be taken on a case-by-case basis.

Rule 2: Inappropriate Content

NO TiM/TiF/MTT/FTT SELFIES ALLOWED
NO TRANSFOOLERY FROM TRAS THEMSELVES. THIS BELONGS IN O/TRANSLOGIC

Rule 3: The NO List

NO misogyny, racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, ableism, ageism, colorism.
NO slurs: No n-words, misogynistic slurs (ex: bitch, slut, terf, cis), t-slurs or their derivatives (ex: trunacy, troon, Timmy, Timothy)
NO debating. Take debates to other circles. Do NOT debate tenets of various philosophies here. No derailing or sealioning. No DARVO.
NO template gripes.
NO conversion therapy (aka Genital Preferences are Transphobic) or other right-wing, conservative talking points allowed.
NO joking about any and all illegal activity that could actually happen
NO talking about downvotes. For the love of all that is female, STOP talking about downvotes. Mods are sick of it. No griping about how many downvotes your comment or post got, or another person's comment or post got. Those comments will be deleted even if they accompany otherwise good commentary.

Rule 4: Redactions

Reddit names do NOT need to be redacted, neither do Chapo Chat names, etc.
Do not redact the Twitter handles of TRAs and misogynists.
Verified users are always fair game.
FACEBOOK NAMES NEED TO BE REDACTED

We do NOT protect misogynistic men and their sycophants. Record any and all misogynies.

Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are enforced here.

Happy memeing~!
