If you only flirt with butch women, women of color, and trans women by making demands of them like, punch me in the face, step on me, crush my head, like the violence of those demands have been discussed better by other people, but I have yet to hear someone talk about the entitlement that goes into those demands. If you flirt with some women by being like “oh you’re so beautiful” or “wow you’re cute” but you flirt with some other women by telling them to do things, perhaps you need to examine why you see these women as people you have the right to make demands over.
146 years ago today Susan B. Anthony was arrested for attempting to vote. She died before she was able to cast her ballot legally.
Don’t disrespect her memory on November 8th.
146 years ago susan b anthony wouldn’t let ida b wells and other black sufagettes march with her unless she went at the back because she valued racist southern women’s opinions over genuinely amazing suffragettes who risked their lives when they could be arrested WITH NO CAUSE. back then a black woman could be arrested for sex work by talking to a man who was not related to her, black suffragettes who looked at a man the wrong way would be arrested.
disrespect the memory of susan b anthony, she fucking sucks.
Unlike Susan B Anthony, Ida B Wells did not die before female suffrage was passed. But she did die 35 years before she could vote as a black person. She had to watch for the last ten years of her life as white women got what she had fought so hard for while she was still denied it.
It will disrespect her legacy of anti-racist and anti-misogynistic campaigning by letting a fascist, racist, woman hater to not only beat the first female candidate for President but worse still undo all the work of America’s first black President.
Honour Ida on November 8th.
I love the turn out of this post.
Every time you reblog this, a white feminism upholder loses their wings.
u know what happens when u so-called “sex positive” goons coddle n defend straight women who use gay women as their boyfriends sex objects? the more we get raped n assaulted. the more our love for women is reduced to nothing but a male fantasy. the more our lives are put in danger. u wanna go and preach about how we’re slut shaming n policing women’s bodies for defending ourselves against fetishization be my guest. but let it be known ur little dumbass “sex positivity” is putting women’s lives at risk. which for folks who seem to care “so” much about women id expect some sympathy but alas y’all just care about ur lil kinks and not actually being decent ppl
so we know the upside down pink triangle was used as the marker for gays during the holocaust.
but actually, it wasn’t just gays. homosexuality was considered a sex offence, so pedophiles and rapists were also marked with the pink triangle. this is probably where the gays are pedos thing came from.
it’s literally a Nazi borne symbol, it’s also intimately aligned with actual sex offenders.
the symbols were not meant to be subtle. they were a branding. big and obvious. it looks somewhat fake because of it. this is a black and white photo, with the triangles colorized
you can very clearly see the German spelling of homosexual above the pink triangles. I don’t read German so unfortunately I can’t tell you the rest
it’s fine to reclaim the symbol. but you need to understand the abhorrent and disgusting history.
i’m tired of vaguing about it. watching you people post about and idolize bts is the most irritating thing and even more because i’m black. everyone knows they’re racist. it’s fucking known that the leader has said the n word. it’s known they’ve worn cornrows and have been called cool when we’re called dirty and ghetto. it’s known that they’ve appropriated our culture multiple times. not to mention that photoshoot. and it’s even worse because i know y’all act like they’re all pure n shit (which is a whole other type of racist stereotype) and then turn around and call us scary and ghetto. and on top of this? stop using aave. i’m especially tired of being told i sound like a kpop stan because i use language my community created.
((ok to reblog, don’t add on if you aren’t black))
native american appropriation (theyve also made fun of native american names, but the video has long since been deleted)
also worth mentioning: if you’re nonblack its not your place to “forgive” bts for the thing theyve done. you cant forgive them for any of their antiblack shit because guess what? youre not black. be quiet.
I hope we raise extremely tolerant children who don’t care about the clothes other kids wear and the genitals other kids have and just don’t bully other kids so they never feel like they have to recover from bullying just because they wanted to express themselves and give glimpses about the kind of person they are.
