This is just a little rant, because my recent time on Instagram has pissed me off again.
I saw a post that said
„Men aren’t allowed to cry.“ -„Well, men aren’t allowed to k1ll and r4pe women either, but somehow that‘s not a problem for them.“

The rest of the post was showing statistics about crimes on women in various countries that are obviously backing up the first slide of the post.
The whole comment section was full of men crying how we should „stop the genderwar“ and how this is just „man-hatred“.
I know it’s stupid to argue with these males because they don’t want to understand it so I‘m ranting about it here.
IN WHAT WORLD is it a genderwar when women try to be vocal about the violence against them that just so happens to be predominantly committed by males?
Like it‘s not our fault that you guys are doing all of this to us?!?
It‘s not a gender war when women are just pointing out real statistics that are backed up by real data. We’re not doing this for fun to piss of males. It‘s just the truth.

I know this post isn’t going to reach the people that should actually read this, but it gets so frustrating when pointing out violence against women feels like a personal attack for males.

recently there’s a lot of talk about bioessentialism and how men and women are so biologically different that everything including crime statistics are the cause of biology and not social influences.

Is this just a way for terfs to try infiltrate feminist spaces?

I know this will sound insane, but I sometimes wonder if by changing humans into a "all female" species, most problems centered around male violence and dominance would cease to exist? I feel like no matter how much I think of a solution, the whole male factor comes in to topple it down until it's just nothing. Ofc this will never happen and I never want it to happen even if it's interesting to think about sometimes.

And the comments are fucked too.

People lying in the comments about how "If you beat up a man in a bar you get 1 year. If you beat up a woman in a bar you get 10 years". Delusional.

Do they know that this isn't true?

“Women don’t like hard works because they only care if you’re genetically gifted.” Is one of the justifications 🙄

I am genuinely convinced people who subscribe to this tradwife nonsense have never experienced it themselves or have seen a woman in their life experience it. My mother was an intelligent career driven woman until she gave birth to me (for context I have 4+ siblings) she decided to give up her career to become a SAHM/W and I grew up seeing how my father continuously financially abused my mother. This looked like controlled allowance, hiding his bank accounts, and cutting her access to money many many more. My father is now gone, bless his soul, but up to this day my mother still talks about how it was one of the worst decisions she ever made. She continues to motivate and remind us to build a successful career first before marrying a man. This tradwife narrative is genuinely so dangerous for women, people who glorify it are delusional, the reality is, for the modern world and since the beginning of time: this ideology has always been a weapon against women, to keep us uneducated and easily manipulated. This is setting women up for financial dependency on a man, and when all you’ve ever known are the 4 walls around you and you’re raising your children without some form of professional career or financial income outside your husband you are quite literally doomed. Being a SAHM/W shouldn’t be a bad thing at all and it isn’t, but the reality is, not many men take up all financial responsibility without the common consequence of financial weaponization. Money is everything in this world, and when you’ve dedicated yourself to 20 ish years to cooking, cleaning, and changing diapers (something that a husband can do if he willed it or he could easily find another wife or a helper) then a divorce without financial security and no form of independent income will leave you miserable. This is the least empowering thing a woman can choose to subscribe to, we have fought for generations after generations for our rights. Most laws protecting the right to education and a job for women have been around for less than 100 years, can we not waste this??? I am genuinely at lost for words

No I am not my uterus. Just because I’m a biological woman does not mean I want kids. No grandmother I will not “change my mind when i get older”. No when or if I get married i will not be having kids. No matter how many times you ask I won’t have kids. My worth is not based on how many kids I have or don’t. I am sick of this pressure to have kids and I am only 16, and don’t even have my license yet. Me taking birth control shouldn’t be an issue either. It’s not even for preventing pregnancy, it’s because I have crippling cramps. Sometimes I skip school because they are so bad. Just because you were forced to go to school everyday doesn’t make you superior, grandma. Our uterus’s don’t even work the same. I am not your enemy. I just don’t want to be defined by my uterus anymore. I’m sure woman who are infertile for whatever reason are the most affected by this. Unless she is very obviously pregnant, or has kids, or has openly stated she wants kids, stop asking. I will let YOU know if I want kids not the other way around.

these are mine (in order of the pics)

· Unattractive—SOFIA ISELLA (i get absolute CHILLS during the last segment, i highly recommend using some good headphones or earbuds with this one)

· LABOUR (the cacophony)—Paris Paloma (the original one is good too, but i prefer this one because it feels stronger and i just love it sm)

· as good a reason—Paris Paloma (i genuinely cried a few times when listening to this song, particularly because of the second verse, because it really hit close to home because i was going through an extremely bad depression and struggling with a [tw s/h] self harm addiction)

· the fruits—Paris Paloma (honestly i don't think there's a single song by paris that isn't amazing)

· LEMONS—Brye & Cavetown (i had never heard of brye before this song but OMG she's fantastic, plus any song with my boy cavetown in it is destined to be good :3)

what are y'all's favorites? i wanna add some more songs to my feminist playlist!

Hey yall I felt like this would be a good place to post. I’ve been seeing a lot of men going around yelling about how misandry is widespread and systemic lately and is “way worse and much bigger of an issue than misogyny” etc. this specific post author made a claim that misandrist women are now aborting fetuses like crazy when they find out it’s a boy. I replied stating that this was in a nutshell a whole bunch of nonsense, and explained that misandry is a term that has been weaponized against women in order for men to be able to justify their own misogyny and sexism.

I cited sources and linked statistical studies showing that misogyny is a systemic issue and has lead to women literally dying, whereas misandry is not systemic and is becoming just another form of oppression in order for men to victimize themselves and be able to say “see! These misandrists a MAKING us hate them!” It’s a justification of their behavior and allows them to feel better about engaging in a culture that oppresses women.

I’m honestly at my limit with the whole misandry thing. Am I going nuts here? I called the dude out for his inherent misogyny, cited sources and deconstruction literature, got downvoted into oblivion and the comments were just gross.

And by the way, this wasn’t on some MRA / incel type of sub either. This was on r/RadicalEgalitarian sub, which I THOUGHT egalitarians believed in equality for all, and even though I definitely have my issues with it, idk the whole experience was absolutely crazy to me. That entire sub was filled with MRAs and women apologists for their behavior. It felt like I was on a different planet.

I have a Substack newsletter and I’ll definitely be writing about this, balls to the wall. I would really like some feedback on it though, please be kind, I’m genuinely just trying to collect info and opinions on the matter but in a respectful way.

We need to speak up for these women before its too late. We need to build international pressure. Please share this far and wide !

Sickening, depressing, infuriating, disgusting.

Because I’d say, “A woman is a person.”

Then stay quiet and stare. Because a woman is a human person.

Do I have to define human person further…um why would I need to?

Sorry about the womb envy and the lack of flesh on your chest, these things don’t make you a man.

I literally can't with this. I didn't cover up my own name because it's me 😉

Note: I don’t want take names, I don’t want the discussion to be about her. I deliberately chose to not mention her name or the associations. I request, others to do the same, even if they get who I am talking about.

This is not about her. This is about sexualisation and misogyny.

Note 2: This is kind of a rant, the below statements shook me so hard. I had to get that frustration out.

I was reading about a politician, and came across someone else’s description of her in a different book about someone else. So, this author, I do not know what kind of beef he has with her, chooses to degrade her, belittle her and reduces her to her bodily appearance. He says vile things like ,

“She was delusional to think she was beautiful and people would fall head over heels for her.“ [Sure, a woman cant be confident?]

“She is jealous, insecure and dramatic about everything “ [this comment was made when she got to know that she was being cheated on by her partner]

“She has a bedroom body”
“She wore low cut tops to incite men”
And goes on talking about how she dresses provocatively showing her breasts! [It made me sick to my stomach reading this. I am not joking]

Implied that She got that role as head of a state because she was involved with a powerful man and used the phrase “reward for services rendered “ [SERVICES RENDERED????? I was shocked to my core when I read that. Mind you this was said by another woman to this author. ]

And the worst part is that, someone actually sat in a reading room, read this manuscript, edited it and thought this garbage belongs to be published!

This woman is actually so accomplished, has a life of her own, was part of charity organisations, has her own political significance, dealt with complex issues, and yet still she was reduced to her “large breasts” and “had sex to get her position “

Pathetic and disgusting.

And the sad part is that, this applies to a lot of accomplished women!

My experience at Fan Expo Canada 2026 was meant to be a fun highlight and it was for the most part, but it turned into a nightmare when I was groped during a photo op at a meetup that was being held, I had approached a couple for a picture-the girl was chunkier and was dressed as Uraraka from my hero academia (Im a big fan of the manga and anime) and had noticeable piercings-and while we were posing together with her boyfriend, he what I thought at first unintentionally touched my waist and butt so I ignored it and I raised his arm up towards my back but he slowly slid it back down to rub again, I immediately felt creeped out and unsafe in an environment where I thought I wouldn't have to deal with this, I tried getting her alone to tell her but her boyfriend wouldn't leave her side so I ended up telling the people who were running the meetup (it was just a fan meetup so they really have no authority to kick people out) but I think he figured out what I was trying to do because he started to claim he was having a panic attack and they left shortly after, it left me feeling incredibly disgusted and has kind of put me off from going to any conventions or meetup in case I run into them, they gave me their socials but I'm not comfortable doing a targeted call out.

What do you all think I should have done? Could I have handled this better?

I'm a holistic therapist, and on Instagram I've always made videos about spirituality, past lives, Akashic Records, and things like that. Recently, I've started making more feminist content, talking about misogyny, sexism, and basically empowering myself in ways I never did before. I've started taking up space and using the voice I've always had but never really allowed myself to use.

And the amount of men leaving degrading comments about my appearance, what I say, or the things I complain about is absolutely unbearable. Instead of questioning why I'm saying what I'm saying, they question me as a person instead of basically, men.

I'm seeing the exact same thing happen to so many other creators like me. Their comment sections are flooded with angry, aggressive men who seem personally offended by women speaking up.

Honestly, it's exhausting. I know that, in a way, I'm moving in the right direction because there are also so many women encouraging me and showing their support. But still, it's just unbearable sometimes.
