the concept of ‘femcels’ is totally misconstrued on tiktok

Submitted Jan. 12, 2021, 9:42 a.m. by koko_p

this tiktok: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMJvEJCAP/ and especially the comments underneath are perfect examples of what is being spread about who femcels are. they think that misandrist = femcel which which i don’t believe is true. you can be both but just because you are one doesn’t automatically make you the other.

also, don’t even get me started on the lookism. the ugliness of femcels has been entirely taken out of the equation which is like....the most important part lol. i don’t see a ton of ‘femcel’ content on tiktok but when i do, it’s stuff like this: a quirky pretty or normal looking girl using the term wrong

literally what was the fucking point of that tiktok? i don't get the joke, is there supposed to be one?

also it's the same with feminism in some spaces, (misogynistic and deluded) people think that feminist = misandrist. my guess is that the "femcel = misandrist" connection was formed because of the former plus "lol she no get laid"

How do you share tik tok links like this without your username showing up?

Also jfl there is no conceivable way a pretty girl like this is femcel. I don't understand the draw

Make your profile private it wont share your username!

I suppose it's a way to fish for compliments and get a bunch of people comment on "a tik tok femcel" - oh, you're pretty, etc? Either this or people really don't get what the term means.

I'm not saying this particular girl is fishing for compliments, coz this short vid made no sense to me whatsoever, I mean more in general

i also wanna say that the automatic association of “femcels” with misandry is another reason we as a community can be targeted as hateful (which we are not) and can actually be dangerous for us. someone correct me if i’m wrong, but first and foremostly we are a community of ugly women - and things like this take that part of our identity away from us, which is why pretty and normal looking girls cannot and should not call themselves femcels

Just want attention. Ignore Beckies that call themselves ugly.
