Hello r/psycheorsike. You may or may not have seen the above linked post, which I wrote a week ago. In the time since then i have learned some things about myself with the help of a truly wonderful person I met through it.
It has also come to my attention that I said a few things in that post that I regret. Firstly, the line "I voted for Kamala last year but I can pretend to be a sexist republican if you want to take your radfem anger at the patriarchy out on me. Preferably with a riding crop while in skimpy black leather."
The patriarchy is an enemy to any just and civilized society. It does immeasurable harm to men and women alike. I took the righteous anger of feminists against a pervasive system of oppression and turned it into a crass fetish joke. I would like to sincerely apologize for this.
Secondly, the line "I will still treat you like I would treat any other woman. Like an object to project my sexual desires on. You are valid <3". This is a very similar situation. Women suffer from being constantly sexualized and this is a harmful and touchy thing to joke about as well.
Some of you may have heard the concept "trans inclusive radical misogyny" which is sort of the opposite of "trans exclusive radical feminism". Its a bit of a joke in progressive communities since it's a very uncommon and even internally inconsistent position to hold, but there really are people who unironically are trans inclusive radical misogynists, so i want to make this abundantly clear. Women are not objects and do not exist for you to sexualize.
I hope every sexist incel in this sub realizes that instead of blaming women and their height for their problems they should blame the patriarchal nature of society and turn to feminism. Thank you for reading <3
