“why do lesbians hate men” son almost all women hate men, lesbians just have nothing to lose by saying so.
also have any of y’all listened to a country song made by a straight woman? literally nobody in the world hates men more than a straight woman who has had enough.
you know what? women shouldn’t be expected to shave anywhere and that’s the tea
But women shouldn’t be shamed for shaving if they want to!!! ♡♡
literally no one has ever shamed any woman for doing what society expects and teaches her she’s got to do to be desirable! thanks! that’s the opposite of the problem!
This isnt a hot take but feminism which centers around periods/vaginas/boobs as Things Which Unite All Women is an untrustworthy brand of feminism
slogans like “no pussy no power” “viva la vulva” “not an ovary-action” etc as stand-ins for “i support women” are more damaging than yall think bc centering ur feminism around things which only cis women experience a) alienates trans women who dont experience them, b) is harmful to ppl who DO experience them but arent women, & c) furthers the mentality that gender = genitals/trans women dont really have a place fighting for womens rights. none of that is as progressive as yall think holding up a sign with a vagina on it is, same goes 4 writing that shit on pads. not every woman has a vagina & not everyone with a vagina is a woman, and feminism which marginalizes entire subsets of us for the sake of a catchy slogan isnt good feminism
Reducing women down to body parts, especially genitalia, is misogynistic.
It’s one thing to challenge stigmas around things like the vulva and menstruation, but when your feminism ties those things to women-hood, it is reductive at best, and inherently exclusionary.
Burke says she also wants to shift the focus back to survivors. “At the end of the day, there is a body of work that we’re building to help those people who have their hands raised. And I’m proud of that.”
i think we need to stop focusing on telling little girls they need to be “empowered” & instead teach them about chaotic mirth, hijinks, & becoming complete rascals
we need to stop forcing girls to wear makeup and lose weight and shave every day!! and i say GIRLS and not women for a reason because there are literal twelve year old girls (and younger) who are spending hundreds of dollars on makeup and taking an hour every day to make it look perfect! there are literal twelve year olds who already think their body hair is gross and needs to be shaved off! there are literal twelve year olds who are skipping meals and going on diets because they’re convinced the perfectly normal fat they have is unhealthy and ugly!!! there are girls who are growing up with the idea that their bodies will never be enough without relentless, expensive, and tiring modification, and that they’re just lazy and “”“unladylike”“” if they don’t meet every single one of society’s beauty standards!!! do you SEE how fucked up this is ????
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.
Your reproductive justice activism is shit if it doesn’t include and prioritize the voices of disabled women, women of color, and trans women who have been forcibly sterilized.
