A flag for an alternative subculture rooted in alternative feminist, intersectional feminist, postfeminist, anti misogyny, anti misandry, anti femcel, anti racist, anti capitalist, anti red pill, anti pink pill and anti sexist principles, and an alternative term that women/femmes can use as a subtitute for feminist. The word stems from the rare Latin phrase horror feminae which is the original root phrase for gynophobia, a fear and distrust of women. This term can be used by women/femmes who are frustrated and disillusioned by the normalization of sexist misandrist man hating by misandrist radfemcels and who have trauma and trauma based mental health conditions such as gynophobia and PTSD due to having online and offline experiences of any instance of hypocritical misogynistic bullying + mental, emotional, psychological and social abuse by misandrist radfemcels who then turn out to be also misogynistic, along with trauma and trauma based gynophobia due to dealing with other instances of abuse and unpleasant traumatic experiences with women (i.e. bullying, abusive female friendships, domestic violence, s*xual violence, bigotry, etc.), who want to support women and women’s rights but is wary of associating with modern feminist spaces due to everything previously mentioned and is meant to combat the stigma, the hypocritical double standards and hypercommodification, invasion and hijacking of feminist spaces by misandrist radfemcel grifters that brings about the stigmatizing silence and suppression of women/femmes from openly talking about these things and from condemning both misogyny and misandry in equal measure. (This also applies to women/femmes that have trauma and trauma based gynophobia due to these very same types of abusive behavior and sexist misogyny from redpill right wing conservative men and right wing conservative women, though the latter crowd’s behavior can be sneakier and more subtle and thus, in my opinion, more dangerous.) This term can thus be used by women/femmes who also are more neutral when it comes to the idea of feminism and female friendships due to not only the issues previously mentioned but also due to being in a place of wanting and needing to acknowledge and talk about their gynophobia without being shamed, judged, criticized, nitpicked and shunned and unpack, process and heal from their trauma, and exercise their right to not always wanna get involved with women’s spaces or be selective with their friendships as a way to set healthy boundaries as part of the healing process and as a form of protest against misandrist dehumanization of men, women on women misogyny and performative commodification, hijacking, appropriation and distortion of feminist values.
Inclusive of and a safe space for queer bisexual women/femmes (especially male leaning bi/bi+ women/femmes) that have faced biphobia and biphobic misogyny from misandrist radfemcels; inclusive of and a safe space for trans women and transfems + trans women and transfems of color who have faced transphobia and transmisogyny + transphobic racism and transmisogynistic racism and transmisogynoir from misandrist radfemcels that are transphobic TERFs; inclusive of and a safe space for BIPOC women/femmes that have faced racism, misogynistic racism and misogynistic intraracism from white, nonblack and black misandrist radfemcels; inclusive of and a safe space for autistic, neurodivergent, disabled and mentally ill women/femmes who have faced ableism and sanism from misandrist radfemcels; inclusive of and a safe space for Jewish women/femmes that have faced antisemitism and antisemitic misogyny from misandrist radfemcels; and inclusive of and a safe space for intersex women/femmes + BIPOC intersex women/femmes of color that have faced intersexism, interphobia, racism, intermisogyny and intermisogynoir from misandrist radfemcels.
Punk feminae (alt flag #1):
Like the feminae flag on top but specifically intersecting with punk/punk rock communities, and more overt in adhering to countercultural, anti racist, anti capitalist, anti facist, anti transphobia, anti TERF, anti red pill, anti pink pill, anti misogyny, anti misandry, anti sexism, anti nazi fascist, anti classism, anti casteism, anti bigotry and anti commodification principles. Inclusive of poor, disabled, neurodivergent, chronically ill, mentally ill, BIPOC folks, women/femmes and men/mascs and Jewish and Romani folks, especially those who are descended from survivors and victims of the Shoah/Porajmos (hence the pink triangle).
Andro-Feminae:
A feminae flag though this is for men/mascs who believe in speaking out against + fighting against sexist misogyny and patriarchal culture norms and in supporting women and women’s right, yet who don’t want to be associated with mainstream feminist spaces due to the problematic normalization and glamorization of misandrist sexism and misandrist bullying, abuse, emasculation, disrespect and dehumanization of men and who thus have trauma and trauma based mental health conditions such as PTSD and gynophobia due to these specific negative and unpleasant experiences as well as trauma and trauma based gynophobia due to dealing with other instances of general abuse and unpleasant traumatic experiences with women (i.e. bullying, abusive friendships, domestic violence, s*xual violence, victim blaming, bigotry, etc.). (This also applies to men/mascs who have trauma and trauma based gynophobia in dealing with these same types of behavior and sexist misandry from right wing conservative women and redpill right wing conservative men as well + neoliberal men who bootlick and cowtow to tolerating, internalizing and regurgitate misandrist rhetoric for popularity cool points from misandrist radfemcel grifters and then project guy on guy misandry onto other men/mascs who don’t and refuse to go along with this.) Thus, men/mascs can use this term as a subtitute to show their solidarity and still adhere to the principles of gender equality and allyship yet are more neutral, wary and cautious in associating with feminist spaces and also exercise their right to be open about their experiences without being mocked, shamed, criticized, attacked, talked down to, talked over, shunned, stigmatized and silenced for it, set healthy boundaries and take time for themselves to unpack, process and heal from their trauma and as a form of protest against the misandry and the rampant, pervasive normalization of it and the distortion of feminist values. Just as women/femmes shouldn’t be gaslighted, manipulated and emotionally blackmailed into supporting and sympathizing with sexist misogynistic men that dehumanize and disrespect them, men/mascs shouldn’t be gaslighted, manipulated and emotionally blackmailed into supporting and sympathizing with sexist misandristic women that emasculate, dehumanize and disrespect them either.
Inclusive of queer bisexual men/mascs that have faced biphobia and biphobic misandry from misandrist radfemcels; inclusive of trans men and transmascs + trans men and transmascs of color that have faced transphobia, transmisandry, racism and transmisandrinoir from misandrist radfemcels that are also racist, transphobic and transmisandristic TERFs; inclusive of BIPOC men/mascs of color who have faced racism and intraracism from white, nonblack and black misandrist radfemcels; inclusive of autistic, neurodivergent and disabled men/mascs who have faced ableism and sanism from misandrist radfemcels; inclusive of Jewish men/mascs that have faced antisemitism and antisemitic misandry from misandrist radfemcels; and inclusive of intersex men/mascs + BIPOC intersex men/mascs of color who have faced intersexism, interphobia, intermisandry, racism and intermisandrinoir from misandrist radfemcels that also turn out to be intersexist and interphobic IERFs.
Andro-Feminae (femme/GNC version) (alt flag #2):
Like the andro-feminae flag up top but specifically for men/mascs that are more feminine, androgynous and gender non-conforming (GNC) in identity, expression (internally and externally) and presentation and have faced sexist, misandrist emasculation, disrespect, bullying, mistreatment and ridicule from both misandrist radfemcels and redpill right wing conservative men + right wing conservative women for not adhering to rigid notions of manhood and masculinity.
Next to this flag (and others) being rooted in alternative feminist, intersectional feminist, postfeminist, anti misogyny, anti misandry, anti femcel, anti racist, anti capitalist, anti red pill, anti pink pill and anti sexist principles, this is also a traumapunk flag. And folks that are trauma victims and survivors of everything I mentioned–all of which I’ve faced and dealt with myself–don’t have to have neat reactions or downplay or outright censor ourselves for other people’s approval or comfort, mainly if they’re the type of abusers and bullies that have hurt me and other women/femmes like me.
Just as misogyny is a dangerous slippery slope to other forms of bigotry, extremism and oppression, so is misandry. Sexism is sexism, and it must always be consistently called out and must always be condemned in whichever way it arises and shouldn’t be tolerated. Misogyny is sexism and misandry is sexism, and both are morally bankrupt and immoral states of evil that shouldn’t be promoted. It’s wrong when men are sexist to women and it’s wrong when women are sexist to men. Point blank period. And to truly be anti sexist and adhere to the true values of feminism and gender equality is to call out, condemn and speak out against misogynistic sexism and misandristic sexism in equal measure. And for anybody that has a problem with any of this, don’t even bother in commenting or interacting; just hard block me expeditiously.
