Where are the Feminists?

an answer to this infernal question that keeps re-emerging

“Where are all the feminists—”

How many times a week do I see this question? It’s a stupid question. I’m not certain I consider myself a “feminist”, I don’t even know what that means anymore, however, I still think this is a stupid question.

Like, what, you think—that feminists have their own island, where they lounge around and drink fancy drinks with paper umbrellas in them and talk about nail polish and sh1t?

Hello, feminists are ordinary women with families and lives and responsibilities. They don’t have a cabal of billionaires with charitable foundations funding them, they have themselves and their friends and families, in their flats or basements of their houses. They live life on the ground, pushing back against gender indoctrination and extremism. They spend hours of their sparing free time pouring over legislation text, financial records, writing letters, fielding hate mail and death threats as well as pleas for help.

Feminists are fighting for women who have lost their jobs because they dared to know the difference between male and female. Feminists are fighting for the women in prison, who have no voice and have nowhere to hide from the violent men being housed in female prison because of gender self ID. Feminists are fighting for any scrap of material and financial aid they can get to help victims of violence against women, and this fight just got harder because extremists have decided to target rape shelters and lobby governments to stop funding them, accusing female only rape shelters of discriminating against males who identify as women. Feminists are fighting for professionals who are the victims of malicious frivolous complains of malpractice by hateful woke extremists. Feminists are fighting against the gender eugenics movement which has captured schools, the education profession, and much of pediatric medicine. Feminists are listening to the stories of detransitioners, many of them women, who are now sterile and have mastectomy scars and feel duped by extremists selling a lie—the same detransitioners the existence of which gender extremists and even the Canadian government deny!

Feminists are apparently now nazis and vermin, unworthy of the air they breathe—they are too white, or racist, or they are so Karen, or TERFy, or insufferable, yet they are supposed to be on call for everyone’s bullsh1t, because they are the messiahs that will save everyone? Seriously? Fcuuuk offfff.

Just scroll through Twitter and see how variations of where are the feminists resemble human society needing to make women responsible for fixing and holding everyone’s sh1t. The mummy-can-you-hold-this-for-me syndrome because apparently, even though there’s no such thing as a woman, everyone on the planet knows who to ask to hold their sh1t and who to blame when things go wrong. Still paying Eve’s debt, yep we are! Where are the feminists to defend the right of Muslim women to wear hijab … Oh feminists think Muslim women need rescuing—okay, which is it, pick one. If you don’t want western feminists saving or rescuing you, then it seems silly to ask where they are to help rescue you. Cognitive dissonance much?

Maybe feminists aren’t there to rescue you because they have other sh1t to deal with, maybe they are there and you don’t see them. Maybe they don’t care about your tragedy because they are sociopaths or because they have a billion of their own. Maybe feminists wonder where you are in their struggles—all female people face struggles related to being members of the female reproductive class, that is an evolutionary fact of existence. Maybe they wonder why you with your headscarf and your pronouns in your bio feels entitled to demand fealty and assistance for your liberation when you promote an ideology and vision for human order that harms women and children too, and prevents our liberation as a sex class and the purveyors of humanity—yes, gender harms women and pronouns in your bio is promoting it.

And I have to ask why you are wearing that headscarf if you believe in gender, and promote the erosion of recognition and protection of sex as a human rights characteristic—why are you supporting males being housed in female prison and then wearing a headscarf? Why are you supporting defunding of female only rape shelters? Why are you supporting the dehumanisation of women in the name of gender and the now corrupt rainbow movement? What’s your end game? Do you not think women need intimate spaces away from males? You clearly do if you wear hijab, or you don’t understand what hijab means and you are wearing it to please others, or you are doing the pronoun performance to please others—either way you are deceiving with performance posturing. Maybe not everyone is a hyperbole specialist or a victimhood cult member.

Here’s a clue—the wokebros and their female cheerleaders who promote queering of humanity and the stupid alphabet soup, using words like front hole and menstruators are just as much the sexism or patriarchy as the right wing dudes and their female cheerleaders who want to govern wombs and enslave women into pregnancy under the guise of pro-life. Yes, genius these are the same thing when you strip it all away! Sexism on the left and sexism on the right are both sexism and they both want to shrink and silence women into docile servile creatures who never resist or question authority.

Look, I know feminists can be assholes, dogmatic and stuck in their feminist vision. There is a flavour of white feminist who has no fcuking clues about racial issues and hates men for fun and thinks Muslim women are 2nd class or need saving because Iran and Saudi Arabia—that’s undeniable. Yes some of them are simply downright culturally chauvinistic, Zionist and blatantly racist. And yes, some of them spew deranged nonsense about Muslims. They face sexism nonetheless and they have battles to wage of which you know nothing. Judging them seems pointless. Maybe just be the change you wish to see instead of whinging about who isn’t doing or thinking or saying what you think they should.

And maybe don’t demand western women come and rescue you or anyone whilst you simultaneously denigrate them for having a saviour complex or for being bigots—people you denigrate tend not to want to help you out, it’s weird how human nature is like that. The way wokesters project some kind of sinister power onto women, in particular white/Eurocentric women, amuses and enrages me. Yes the west has material abundance and many social and political freedoms. That doesn’t mean people still don’t face struggles, and it doesn’t mean women still don’t face sexism—because they do and they do! The grass is greener became a cliché for a reason, y’all!

So, I hope people stop asking where are the feminists because that’s a stupid question.
