A helpful guide for meaningful feminism

Pregnancy is not a punishment for having sex. Yes, even unprotected sex. Parenthood isn't a punishment for having sex, either. Parenthood is a lifelong responsibility that should knowingly be opted into; it isn't a penalty for having sex and getting pregnant one (1) time. Having sex is not an immoral act. Women having sex is not an immoral act. It does not need to be punished.

"There are observable biological differences between men and women that unfairly advantage men in a world designed by and for men" DOES NOT MEAN "women are inferior to men" or "women aren't good enough to keep up with men". It means we have to account for those differences in the name of equity and equality. Which doesn't mean women need ~special treatment~ or kid gloves. It means we have to remove barriers to equal opportunity.

I love that radical feminism just removes you from so many binaries of thought. It makes them completely nonsensical. Why would I analyze whether I'm pretty when it doesn't matter either way? Why is the acceptability of my body hair even a subject of discussion? It merely exists, just like the bark on a tree. Does society sit around and debate whether a tree ought to be able to keep its bark?"I'm pretty with makeup" "I'm pretty without makeup"
Radical feminism: "It doesn't matter if you're pretty at all. You don't exist to be pretty."
"Female body hair is okay" "Female body hair is not okay"
Radical Feminism: "Female body hair simply exists and is completely neutral. Talking about whether its 'okay' doesn't even make sense."
"Presenting THIS way makes you a man" "Presenting THIS way makes you a woman"
Radical feminism: "Nothing about the way you present makes you a man or woman. Gender isn't real."
