this has been bugging me for ages does the materialist qualifier in “materialist feminist” actually have a definition? bc the majority of people i see IDing with this are terfs and it seems to be a synonym for their “you can’t argue with objective reality” & “trans oppression is immaterial” schtick as if that’s anything but an ego stroke. “im actually a Perfectly Objective feminist”

but I’ve also seen trans women use it and in that context it sounds like it’s somehow related to marxism (or inspired by?) and basically i have no idea what this term means when not used explicitly for transmisogyny. basically: where can i find a beginner’s guide to materialist analysis, how does it separate from other oppression analysis and, how can it mean anything at all when two nearly antithetical groups can read into it and decide it suits them both perfectly

Once
a boy looked very sadly at me after a little bit of conversation.
‘you’re so smart’ he said, ‘I feel like I couldn’t keep up’. And then he
did that sad boy face where you’re supposed to agree to tone yourself
down. So I said ‘probably’ and fucked his mate.

some top advice from a slut, here, 90% of the time when some boy looks sad and tells you you’re too ‘x’ to keep up with it’s a ploy to get you to cut bits off yourself so you can come down to his mediocre level; instead, agree with him and fuck his mate

I’m not sway’d by
His saddened state-
I say okay
I fuck his mayte
