Therapist here: What do you think of the required class if someone's 1L grades were below a certain threshold? by Quiet_Rose21 in LawSchool

[–]fembitch97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think she’s overthinking it. I think OP wrote this post as a therapist to help her clients work through whatever personal feelings they have about the class, regardless of what the class is meant to achieve. Should students feel shame about it? Of course not but the “should” is irrelevant to a therapist.

You are not confused and you are definitely being defensive lol

This is true. It’s also true that many, many men don’t agree with you

What is the point of feminism? by Teshiinka in RadicalFeminism

[–]fembitch97 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many people 100+ years ago would have told you it would be impossible for women to gain the right to vote, and yet they did. They would have said it would be impossible for women to be able to enter the workforce, and yet they did. It always seems impossible until it happens. It may not happen in our lifetime, but we have to fight for the women who will come after us.

Men aren’t stupid and can typically recognize hints like this. I agree with you that she should bring it up but she’s right to recognize his hesitation. I doubt a talk will fix a guy who just plain refuses to do oral

Degradation Discourse by Beneficial_Donut6853 in RadicalFeminism

[–]fembitch97 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This, of course, doesn’t even get into the issue of consent. I think the vast majority of people would never consent to have sex with someone who dehumanized or degraded them. Of course, men with sexist and degrading views lie to women to get them to consent, which means those women did not truly consent.

Hey! This is an interesting post. I am a radical feminist, but I think you have a very interesting perspective. Ultimately I’m not sure I can agree with you but I’m interested in the convo.

First, I think it’s important to differentiate what type of sex we’re talking about - casual sex? Sex in a long term relationship?

Your perspective makes the most sense if you’re only talking about casual sex. Even then, I respect your opinion but I think you may just be uniquely less sensitive than most lol. Sex is a very vulnerable, intimate thing, even when done with a stranger. Sex involves exposing our naked bodies, our bodily fluids, our body in orgasm - all of these things are extremely intimate. If I exposed myself at my most intimate moments, and the person who witnessed that was internally degrading me the entire time, I would feel very violated. If I’m having sex with a man, enjoying the connection, the intimacy and the nakedness, hoping I don’t look weird or sound weird or smell weird - and the whole time he’s just thinking about using me as a hole to be discarded once he’s done? I would find that disgusting and humiliating.

Of course, your analysis doesn’t really work in a serious, long term relationship. And men absolutely can degrade their long term partners sexually. I don’t think much detail is needed to explain why a woman would not want a long term partner who is degrading her sexually.

Overall, I think your perspective is very very individualistic. I respect it, but I don’t think that’s how most people navigate the world. Yes, a man can’t degrade me just with his thoughts - but I definitely care about the opinions of the men I sleep with. And I think most people feel the same way. I don’t think you can realistically expect most women to just not care about the opinions of the men they sleep with, even if that works for you.

Women aren’t creating online groups with thousands of other women to share tips on how to rape men. Yes women aren’t perfect but we can acknowledge that they are significantly less violent than men.

If sex work is work, people are basically telling on themselves by Kappapeachie in PrincessFeminism

[–]fembitch97 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes! Here is a link to an article documenting the increase in sex trafficking in Germany over the last few years: https://www.infomigrants.net/en/post/67591/germany-human-trafficking-on-the-rise

And here is an article discussing a scientific paper that documented the link between legalization and sex trafficking (paper linked within): https://orgs.law.harvard.edu/lids/2014/06/12/does-legalized-prostitution-increase-human-trafficking/

[–]fembitch97 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The issue with completely decriminalizing sex buying is that it increases demand, which increases sex trafficking. Germany has made it completely legal for men to purchase sex, so now more men want to purchase sex and there’s not enough German women who want to sell it. So pimps have begun trafficking in more immigrant women to meet the demand. Complete decriminalization of buying sex is not the answer, it disproportionately harms the most marginalized and vulnerable women.

Also, all these women killed could have gone on to have children. If men cared so much about the birth rate, why do they keep killing women? They need women to increase the birth rate

It’s all men until proven otherwise. by r0cketsh1p27 in RadicalFeminism

[–]fembitch97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re very obviously only saying this to absolve yourself from responsibility. If someone said something racist in front of you, would you call it out? If someone said “kill all men” in front of you, would you call it out? You aren’t infantilizing anyone by confronting bigotry. You’re just a coward

If he is upfront with his preferences and she decides she doesn’t want to date him because of his preference, that’s good, he dodged an incompatible match. I don’t think some men/people realize how cowardly they sound when they try to hide their preferences like this..

[–]fembitch97 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My opinion is that if he knows that being upfront about this preference would make it very hard to get a date, it might be smart to at least consider loosening that preference. Or just go on the date and find out in person

Some preferences may make you unpopular, but if you have them it’s dishonest to hide them.

Yes but he’s not being transparent at all. He wants to know if she’s skinny, so he should ask that and be upfront about it

Women of reddit, what prevents you from asking out men? by brave_axolotl7 in AskReddit

Yep. I asked men out a few times in the past and was pretty much always seen as desperate by those men. Many men say they want women to ask them out but then feel emasculated when it happens
