this is not a debate sub! We will get around to making the debate sub for anyone with questions about gender critical ideas or radical feminism. We are migrating over from Reddit after the bannings.

Female is Not a Feeling. We won't go down quietly.

Re-forming wherever we can: Spinster.xyz

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. We do not condone the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, 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. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography.

"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

Everyone has a horrible first period.

ugh so true. My first period was the day my youngest sibling was born! We were driving to go see the new baby and me, at age 11.5, was really confused as to why I had such a bad stomachache. I thought maybe I was sick or was anxious or something, despite never being prone to stomach trouble before. Then we get to the hospital and I have to go to the bathroom and oops. I felt so pale all day. My baby sibling was glorious and adorable and still is, but it's still a weird thing to me that my body chose that day, like couldn't it have waited a week? Oh well.

Of course the next several years were "wonderful" with two days a month of pain to the point of vomiting and almost passing out, sometimes along with migraines. Eventually they got less vicious, but yikes.
