Here is the original rant that I removed from u/happyovaries. Though they started out somewhat on topic, later they undermined feminism and our women in the military that are assaulted at alarming rates by claims they are safe. It looked like one of the many trolls to me, what do you think?

Your post was so disappointing. To me, as a third-worlder, your post was basically the equivalent of "But men get raped too"! First-worlders have far more economic, social, and political privilege than third-worlders do, and their governments contribute to the suffering of a significant portion of third-worlders, and thats a fact.

First-world women are comparatively safer than the women in the third-world, so I agree with her. The average woman in Myanmur right now feels absolutely terrified than the average Western woman, and the average Western woman definitely feels far more safer than the average Myanmur woman. This isnt an attack against first-world women, its not their fault that theyre born there, but we're literally being genocided here and getting killed in millions so I literally dont see the qualms in saying we're more oppressed and that our lives value too?

Im gonna rant in this paragraph for a second: Its not to undermine the struggles of Western women - its paying heed to the disenfranchised third-worlders who first-worlders couldn't give less of a shit about because they literally see us as shithole dwellers, normalize our suffering, or go "Oh. thats sad :-( " before getting into a Twitter argument about microaggression or something. I've seen this online as a third-worlder - firstworlders literally dont care about us but the entire globe goes to shit when the first-world gets attacked, and it genuinely horrifies me; I literally can die tomorrow by a bomb and nobody could care less but a first-worlder could get punched in the face and it becomes international news and social-media algorithms start pushing it more than theyd probably push the next coming of jesus.

So yeah, your comment genuinely wants to make me cry. Can we talk about third-worlders here for a moment? Like why did you feel the need to bring Western women up? Im tired of hearing "Western women this Western women that." The only thing she did was add a throw-away line and you genuinely thought it was an attack against first-worlders like what. Why? Like I genuinely think youre cool how could you do that? Your comment gives me the same vibes of men who think feminism is an attack against them.

I feel You are 100% wrong here, but respect that you took the time to respond. Nowhere in Pinkpillfeminim are we having a battle of oppression Olympics and in Radical Feminist theory it is absolutely within our framework to discuss the work and plight of developing worlds women in detail and nuance, yet one of the reasons it has been such a productive movement unlike the choice feminists is that we can acknowledge suffering without undermining the struggles of women in countries who’s males have decreed more economic wealth for themselves. Especially through military might.

I’ve been happily modding here alone since everyone basically abandoned this space except for fuzzbutt the Nazi who rage quit then asked to come back then participated in a brigade that spammed us with swastikas.

At least 1/2 of the posts or comments in that time have been similar rants from moids that sounded just like I removed with that post. People have made throw aways mocking my username and if you don’t recognize that’s exactly what that account did I’m not really sure what to say to address that part besides uh what?

There is absolutely no reason to defend it. Make a post to vent, discuss all day about your plight and fear for women anywhere, please that’s the point of the sub, but there is absolutely no reason to claim women everywhere don’t struggle and there is no reason to undermine their struggle. That’s not Radical Feminism. Western women are not under the same threat as women in wartime or military conflict, talk about it but if you claim women in other countries are NOT under threat like this poster did I’ll remove it for bad faith and low on the pyramid of debate.

It’s shocking and disappointing to me that anyone wouldn’t see that post as clearly trolling with the usual bs talking points from moids “western women don’t need feminism” bs moids spout constantly in their not all men self victimization.

I feel the same way about your take. You offered zero nuance.

Anyone that’s spent any time here will know that I’ll participate in all good faith debates, especially about developing worlds women, I’m the one constantly posting about them including in the Reddit sub before it was destroyed by evil males. But if you come here for a bad faith debate and it sounds similar to the multitude of male rants I’ll remove it.

I invited you months ago to mod and you declined, yet you are here like this is easy to do to navigate the legitimate rants vs the moids. lol to that

And look at the behavior on their part, instead of pming me and asking me why I questioned it, or acknowledging my comment, they thought it was acceptable to post a rant disparaging me here, and calling me crazy like some old grandpa insult. And trolls like u/portrynial instead of questioning what the rant said, did the same trashy thing and called me “mentally ill” like some fool moid would, then started a new sub and claimed the point was because if this one. I mean how trashy and petulant. If you want to have a discussion, let’s have it, but give me a break with that childish nonsense.

Yea I could have set this sub to approve only, but I wanted people to be free to post, but again it has to be good faith debate or discourse or satire that isn’t claiming women have it easy when we aren’t safe anywhere.

I will definitely put some more effort here as I should have already and continue to remove questionable posts or ask people to write so it’s clearly not trolling and hope that now s/radicalfeminism_ppf exists they will contend with all the trolls since it’s looking like they are already made up of most of them. Im sure they will still troll here but that space can be more for rants and vents and we can use stats, satire and have an actual discourse here.

I just lost soooo much respect for you, wow can’t believe you’ve defended that especially knowing the beating this poor sub has taken by moids. Says a lot about your character
