Fuck this “we’re oppressed for being feminine uwu” bullshit.

If women were oppressed for performing femininity and not for being female, men would be making laws on appropriate shades of lipstick and amounts of eyeliner, NOT OUR FEMALE BODIES.

Unfeminine women would be safe from female oppression and men who wear makeup would be just as oppressed as feminine women. You could literally choose whether or not you want to be oppressed. Just stop wearing dresses and makeup and you’ll be fine!

I can’t opt out of female oppression. Even if I went by male or neutral pronouns and identified as a non-woman, I would still be denied medical procedures including but not limited to abortion and sterilisation, I would still be paid less than my male colleagues, I would still be seen incompetent and unfit for anything but child rearing and housekeeping, I would still get interrupted and silenced by men and I would still have to plan for escape routes and carry a weapon of some sort for protection, just in case. I would still be female and I would still be oppressed simply because of the fact that I am female, no matter how I dress or ~identify~.
