In Your Opinion, What Are The Top 5 Problems Within Feminism That Hold The Movement Back? (I'm Sending

In your opinion, what are the top 5 problems within feminism that hold the movement back? (I'm sending it to others users here too because I want to see different perspectives).

The fear of interacting with other women. Women are legit scared of each other. Scared of being judged, doxxed, not included, underwhelmed, etc by other women. The biggest barrier to hosting meetups for me wasn't keeping misogynists away, it was convincing women to sit in a cafe near another woman who might have a different opinion on separatism.

Waiting for the feminist activist or the organizing group to start that feminist project in your head. There's a lack of responsibility and agency. If there's something you think is needed for female liberation, you need to do it. Other women don't have that idea, most don't have much more resources or connections than you. You have to get offline and do it yourself. No one else is going to do it quite like you.

Reinventing the wheel. Everything has been done already. Research a bit or ask around and you can learn from other women what works and what doesn't. I feel this most with the current wave of discords. At one point I was probably in 50+ radfem related facebook groups for every topic. But women would start these groups, lose steam after a couple of months, and then the group would eventually dissolve. These discords are starting to do that as well. (Hint; the groups that stuck around have irl connections)

Forgetting women's history and ignoring women's culture. Especially women's culture from global majority women's perspective. Women are insanely ignorant of our own culture and history. What little we do know if often told from a male/patriarchal perspective. Women are creating and keeping women's culture right now that you can support and engage with. Women can benefit from letting go of male produced media/art/education for a change. And white women are not doing enough to support global majority women's culture and history.

There's a constant desire by many women to spend energy on men. Every man has a mom, most men have female spouses, siblings, children, men interact with women everyday. If they don't get it by now, they don't care. It's a waste of energy trying to convince a guy who's been watching 'teen gangbang' on a regular basis since high school that you deserve rights.

This is in no particular order and just off the top of my head. I kind of want to expand on some of these later. I also want to see other women's top 5s.

This is revisionist history. This is white American males revising reality to attack and demean South Korean women and damage a woman's movement. This is textbook colonialism.

To the hypocritical lesbians: It's unthinkable for het and bi women to stop associating with or even just stop dating men for the same reason it's unthinkable for lesbians to stop having sex and romance though. Sex and romance invite complacency and jealous guarding and hoarding behavior, and controlling behavior, in every group. You get more done if you're single and your mind is clearer. You should lead by example. Love addiction is holding us back and causing us to be cruel to our fellow women, often in the same way males do. Teach us how, because female liberation is more important than relationships. No matter what your sexuality is. Lesbianism won't die out if we take a break to win a war. I'd argue it will grow when we win.

My radical take is that I don't trust you if you're pro natalist or if you have kids. I seriously can't take anyone seriously trying to talk about making the world a better place when they've already given up the game. Sorry hon but you can't act like you actually want to make things better when you've already made it clear you don't care about the conditions you're bringing your kids into. Having kids is quite literally the most basic way to say "yeah, this is fine, I'm totally fine with my kids living under these conditions." Having kids right now is quite literally supporting every fucked up system because guess what all those systems need? More people to run them. If you actually wanted to make a change, you would have made an effort to make the world a better place instead of having kids just cause you want em.

Sedentary lifestyles and lack of muscle mass are debilitating killers for women. If you are not sick or disabled, until your 60s you should be able to (with PROPER FORM):

Do three sets of five push-ups.

At least three pull-ups.

Deadlift 135 lbs.

Hold most yoga poses that engage legs for at least 60 seconds.

Walk up a steep incline without breathing heavily.

Fireman carry 200 lbs for distance.

This is the bare minimum. This is I Spend Most of My Time Hunched Over a Keyboard. You'll notice jogging isn't on this list. That's because jogging ruins your joints.
