(Also could somecritter tell me what "sepfem" means <.<)

a concept of radical feminism, feminist separatism, believes in reshaping society to separate women from men. it may sound good on paper but so much falls in the margins beyond man and woman that i don't understand how the separation is supposed to be enforced. would i be accepted but misgendered, or would my identity be respected but i have to be ousted?

i'm just so tired of being perceived as dangerous based on (part of) my gender.

These are the same people who would probably scoff at countries who do have almost complete separation of men and women (especially before marriage). Such a bullshit ideology they espouse.

I must ask how that sounds good even on paper.

mainly i meant the "on paper" bit towards anyone with a particularly overblown hatred of men, which feels like a lot of people i know. i rebuke it.

anyway i ate some raisin toast. i always forget about nausea from hunger.

Weird thought, I don't think I've ever had raisin toast. Which is weird because I really like raisins (oatmeal raisin best cookie, I will fight over these brown sugary chewy delights with juicy bits)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

i would certainly never turn up my nose at an oatmeal raisin cookie, so i will just say "correct".
