remember when as kids my male cousins would make fun of me for growing body hair before them and would get offended when I told them they were just jealous
How do you cope with misogyny? I find myself getting depressed when I realize how much everyone hates women and that the world would never change.
meh I'm just really angry all the time.
Serious answer: I try to uplift/help/support the women in my life and I engage in activism and politics, I think it's normal to grieve what we could've had if we didn't live in a patriarchal system but our actions can and will be meaningful for so many women and that's something, it's a lot actually.
Less serious answer: I think of mysoginistic men when I hit the boxing bag hehe
besties did you not pray hard enough cause what the hell was that
I am once again asking for The Feminists in My Phone's blessing for my exam today
real!!
my mom works in academia while my dad was (he's retired now) a freelancer, so when they had me, he started working way less to take care of me/the house and when I'd tell my classmates (and teachers!) they always reacted like it was the most insane thing
one time in middle school a girl straight up told me that women should be just be housewives "because it's natural"
I think of her sometimes, I hope she realised that she wasn't born with a broom in her hand, just like her brother wasn't
sorry I did a little dance after finishing an exam today I will go back to being mysterious and cool and tough asap
and when you're equally cold they hit you with the: "oh my god don't be a bitch"
crazy how when I was a kid my classmates would ask if my mom was a boy because she had a buzzcut and now young leftists ask her for pronouns constantly ๐๐ (and she's not even androgynous, just a woman with short hair and no makeup)
also crazy how she's been telling people "women can have short hair, you know" for the past 40 years and people without fail look at her as if she was absolutely deranged
imagine going from being called "mean man hating lesbian" in your 20s to "mean transphobic old woman" in your 60s
The concept of gender affirming haircuts is crazy
This is an absolutely insane take for a feminist.
Women stuck in abusive and violent marriages (which are really common in countries where women rights are practically non-existent, which, coincidentally, are the countries with higher immigration rates) have a much easier time leaving these situations if they're in western countries.
Daughters of undocumented immigrants deserve to live in countries where getting an education is not illegal.
Daughters and sons of undocumented immigrants deserve to live in countries where they won't get killed, raped and imprisoned if they're gay.
I don't care how they got here, if our half-assed western democracies can save even just one woman, that's all that matters.
Gonna be honest I support deporting illegal immigrants
do this thing !!!!!!
I made a "which mutual am I" thing so here you go๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
This was fun to make actually :]
