Radical feminist rants/reblogs/quotes/thoughts. I do not speak for all radfems, and do not claim to. As one would expect from radical feminism, this blog is anti-porn, kink-critical, trans-critical, against racism, gender and patriarchy. If this bothers you, perhaps you should stay away, or risk an aneurysm.

If you've got Qs, feel free to send an ask. I I don't engage in tumblr fights, so if that's your aim you will be sorely disappointed. I also avoid engaging with MRAs, liberal feminists, racists and those who sincerely use expressions such as "radscum" and "die cis scum." I probably don't have anything to say to you.

Full disclosure: I pass as white, and am straight. I am aware that I possess privilege for these things. If anything I post or reblog comes across as offensive, problematic, erasing/silencing or privileged do let me know. There's always room to learn and improve.

My twitter is @femignome.

"[P]eople who have been sexually assaulted are not somehow responsible for preventing their assailant from assaulting other people."

Marianne Kirby; “You Owe It To Other Women”: Why you DON’T Owe It To Anyone Else To Report Your Rape

I don’t think people think of women who are already marginalized when they say these things. It’s much harder for them to come forward; and they need to take care of themselves. Additionally, just like it’s not women’s job to avoid rapes it is not our job to stop the assailants.
