I am always compelled to save this woman's posts
I'm so sorry girl, but women cannot simply talk themselves out of having a sexuality and romantic partnership is not a "sliver", nor a "cherry on top". 🤮
This shit is super annoying, because, I get it, it's meant to be supportive of separatism, but really it just ends up being dehumanising.
Women are human beings; the vast majority of human beings have sex drives and enjoy falling in love and being able to have a romantic partner.
Trying to deny this, as if all women are some sort of alien race with zero sex drive is insulting. Telling grown adults to find romance in their friendships is stupid; A. we all know women already do that, and B. acting like sexual intimacy isn't a big part of romance makes you sound like an idiot child.
The need for separatism is profound. Woman and girls need to get serious and start only going to female doctors, buying goods from female-owned shops, buying property with and renting from other women.
But, once again, all I see are these bizarre posts attempting to shame or otherwise negatively encourage women and girls to stop having sex/romance with men. As if that's the most important branch of this fight.
Y'all are fucking twisted. Men own the entire world, yet our big revolt is down to voting with our vaginas? For real, what is wrong with you guys?
When straight women decide to be separatists, they must struggle with the loss of having a romantic partner. They are, in fact, entitled to grieve over that.
In any case, women not wanting to give up their sexual and romantic pursuits is not an issue separatism faces, and I am genuinely worried about those of you who think it is.
I repeat; men own everything. WE NEED TO CHANGE THAT.
Women need to be fighting to get into higher positions of power, everywhere in the world. Women need to be amassing resources and sharing them with other women and girls. Women need to be building community and performing activism and getting into all corners of business and taking over shit.
It simply does not matter who anyone fucks/ falls in love with along the way, and anyone who think otherwise DOES NOT KNOW THE HISTORY OF FEMINISM.
Grow up.
Such a pathetic take, especially the tags "what if BLACK PEOPLE did this??"
Black people, especially during the eras of slavery and jim crow, had separate communities away from white people already, so 'what if black people refused sex with white people?!' it was ALREADY ILLEGAL for them to mix. they used other means because they had other problems.
Women partner with men in EVERY race EVERY religion EVERY economic class EVERY geographical location, and are therefore being abused and exploited constantly- that's why refusing to partner with them is extremely important and powerful, it would rip society in half. Not even remotely comparable to black people calling for this against white people I can't believe you said "grow up" after such as mindless, politically inept take- and then encourage people to learn more about history, damn girl history?? you don't even have the most basic common sense.
And all this weak 'men own everything' 'men have all the power that's the REAL problem'
If we took power and money and property away from men this instant, men would still be the same on the inside.
If you're waiting until men are weak to fuck them and love them you are STILL planning on fucking and loving the people who hate you and would be willing to take away your rights, your autonomy, your dignity, your wealth, your labor.
A homeless man has nothing, but he is just as likely to want to abuse you as the president and it's been that way for all time.
You're polluting political spaces where women are trying to raise class consciousness with your whining. It's counter productive to feminism. If you're feeling sad, take it to some other space, but raising complaints to the women trying to rise up and get something done is just so immensely selfish.
PS-You want to encourage women to learn about feminism, how about you give it a shot https://qz.com/958346/history-shows-that-sex-strikes-are-a-surprisingly-effective-strategy-for-political-change
Can't believe you think 'voting with your vagina' is some type of stupidity when not only has it accomplished things in the past, but your vagina is the crux of your oppression. OBVIOUSLY if women withheld that from men it would have significant impact.
EDIT: and to clarify, i'm aware that article claims a broad sex strike 'wouldn't work' without clear demands, however it should be obvious that i disagree. women rejecting men en masse because of their behavior is a clear enough message.
