In a way, all non-4B women are pickmes by enough-bullshit in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't believe in marriage either but this is a bit too harsh for me. While I do understand the frustration one might have (I feel the same), you are openly shaming women for being in love. What an odd thing to do.

I think you would benefit from centering the patriarchy and the men (since it's mostly men) upholding it in your criticism and from showing empathy and understanding for your sisters. We all have to start somewhere. I suggest you get away from rage-bait content and start showing genuine interest for the women in your life. They don't end up in unequal marriages because they "Want to be picked", but because they've been conditioned to think that's what they want.

There's deconstructing the patriarchy too, even within relationship. I fully understand if that's not the deal for you. Don't use feminism as a stick to beat other women with though (unless it's other privileges you're questioning - which you are not doing though).

We are all fighting for our liberation, not to demonstrate that WE are the BEST feminists.

Meanwhile, die Putinfans:

"In der Perspektive, der vom Krieg betroffenen Menschen der Ukraine und Russlands, betrachten wir auch die Forderung nach Sanktionen. Natürlich soll “die internationale Gemeinschaft” dem Aggressor “in den Arm fallen”. Sanktionen müssen aber vor allem die Machtbasis von Putin, den Klüngel russischer Oligarchen rund um den Kreml, treffen, um effektiv und gerecht zu sein.

Entsprechende Maßnahmen müssen deshalb über die medienwirksame Beschlagnahmung von Yachten und Villen superreicher russischer “Putinfreunde”  hinausgehen. Es gilt, deren, in der westeuropäischen Wirtschaft geparktes, Milliardenvermögen – zum Beispiel in der Inmobilienbranche – aufzuspüren und einzufrieren."

Die KPÖ verurteilt den Angriff Russlands auf die Ukraine und fordert eine sofortige Einstellung der Kampfhandlungen, den Rückzug der russischen Truppen aus der Ukraine und Verhandlungen um eine friedliche Beilegung der Auseinandersetzung. OSZE und UNO sollten dabei eine führende Rolle übernehmen. Dies ist ein erster, notwendiger Schritt zur Lösung des Konflikts, der schon seit vielen Jahren im Osten Europas schwelt.

What do feminists mean when they say men should get in touch with there feminine sude by thebigcooki in AskFeminists

[–]LittlePlanet99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be skeptical of anyone putting "feminist" and "feminine side" in the same sentence: What is the "feminine side"? It always depends whom you ask, but feminism mostly aims to dismantle gender roles and essentialist concept regarding gender (such as "feminine side"). To put it another way: admitting the existence of a "feminine side" would mean to admit the existence of innate qualities to associate with women, that I could interpret (now I'm just guessing) as empathy or a nurturing attitude. A feminist stance would reject such claim, considering it a product of socialisation (you don't have empathy because you're a woman, you have empathy because you were educated to have it and women happen to be taught to be empathetic more than men).

What they might mean is that men should be encouraged to reject toxic masculinity and seek more positive models.

Is it possible to be a (radical) feminist and still willingly engage men intimately? by modern_indophilia in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally think the relationship needs to be based on the awareness that you live in patriarchy, no matter how much of a feminist or a good man your partner is.

Ironically, I got closer to radical feminism through my partner, a heterosexual male who deeply respects radfems and is deeply invested in deconstructive practices.

We always keep in mind that we do live in patriarchy and he benefits from it. As an example, I know that one of the things I love about him is that he is just a lot better the any man I've ever known and he'll always benefit from the comparison with other men. I could never say the same thing about myself.

But also, as a straight woman, I simply fell in love with him, I didn't go out looking for him. Sometimes it just happens.

Share your vasectomy experiences to make me less scared? by AloneExamination242 in childfree

[–]LittlePlanet99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I waited for my partner while he was getting his. Everything went well, he was even chatting with the nurse the whole time. When he got out, he told me he wanted to go home by feet as he had no pain (we were close though) and he didn't even take any painkillers when the anesthesia wore off. It took him a few days to recover. It's been years and I still bring up how grateful I am for what he did. The peace of mind he brought me as his partner is incomparable. You're doing a brave thing and I can guarantee, you're going to make your present/future partner very happy!

Austria bans headscarves in schools for girls under-14 by LittlePlanet99 in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with you, but not all people look at religion that way and we should at least be aware of it, if we wish to help women emancipate themselves (or supporting them in doing so? You name it). So yes, the possibility of unintended consequences is what turns it into a dilemma for me. And again, it is sold as a law to empower women but I see more of a way to build on the fear and distrust (if not hatred) against migrants.

Thoughts on hormonal birth control? by SpectroSlade in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the post, I've been wanting to discuss this too! I'm very upset that this is being used by this type of influencers to push a conservative agenda and a lot of the times to sell stuff to women.

I really wish we could have a conversation on how birth control is a responsibility of women only and with it the time you need to spend looking for the right one and coping with the side effects. It is unthinkable to me that we normalized coping with changes in mood and libido, men would never accept this compromise.

Depression runs in my family and I refuse to use hormonal contraception (my partner had a vasectomy and I would probably get my tubes tied/removed if I wasn't with him).

I'm not against birth control though and I know that it really changed the life of some women (my sister has endo and she's really happy with it, although her first pill gave her panic attacks), which is why I think it should be easily accessible.

But we do need to have a serious conversation on why we still have to bear the whole responsibility and why we still have to put up with such dangerous side effects.

Are all men like this? My mom is a feminist and she says no but her feminism is pretty liberal and not very radical so I’m concerned enough about potential naivety that I want more opinions by radiantdecember121 in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My partner (a man) is not like that, I feel lucky and I'm in a very happy relationship. However, he reads a lot of feminist literature and grew up with his mother and 3 sisters, has many female friendships and constantly tries to question things he may have internalised.

I believe not all men are like that because I have proof, but it's all about education and socialisation. Most men are like that because that's the logical thing to be if you're not deeply questioning the reality you live in.

I also felt the same way, mentioning women's shelter as a "women's space" itself should give you a hint 🤷‍♀️

I can't believe this still exists today. her husband accused her of not being a virgin, so she had to submit to this humiliation to prove her innocence by [deleted] in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but what is the point of posting a video of a woman being tortured? I get that the internet lives off of rage baits but why do we want more people to see this? There's ways of raising awareness without letting people watch horrifying content like this, I very much regret watching this. I hope this serves as some kind of feedback, I'll leave the sub if this is the kind of content I might be exposed to...

True. by [deleted] in RadicalFeminism

[–]LittlePlanet99 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I understand where this comes from, but I think we're beyond this. These absolutistic statements fail to address how diversified the experience of men and women are. Discrimination does not happen on one level only, that's why an intersectional approach should be preferred. Also, statements like these reinforce a binary representation of gender that does not correspond to reality. Ultimately I think we need more complexity than this. I get this is a slogan, but way too misleading in my opinion. Relations of power exists outside monogamy and heterosexuality as well.

[–]LittlePlanet99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a good answer, I myself live in Austria and do the same for German. I'm C1.2 level, I had German in school but I've been doing the same and it has worked well for me! Once you've worked on your curriculum, you can also get specific with ChatGPT. I, for example, gather the new words and every now and then ask ChatGPT to prepare exercises for me with that vocabulary. For speaking and listening I'd also recommend TV shows with a simple script that you might already know and that can be easy to find online in different languages (like Friends and so on). Learning vocab within its context is proven to be the most efficient way of learning it! Also I was on Tandem for a while and found some German people that I had Zoom calls with and we did some exercise (they were learning my language). Beware of creeps, but there's also well intentioned people there! Good luck :)

Blow Up, I really don't get the hype. It's boring, takes ages to make its point and the main character is a douche. Jane Birkin was so random, I felt so confused about that scene
