men truly do believe that their suffering is the only suffering that matters. they view women's suffering as either completely obsolete, a joke, or jerk-off material. i'm sick of it. all these people who whine about "men's mental health" can rot.

Women are always being asked to deprioritize themselves. Reproductive freedom, no fault divorce, and literal birth control are on the line and everyone is acting as if women should just sit around and twiddle our thumbs and not vote because the political system is corrupt. So when will there be a political system that women are allowed to advocate for themselves in? Because historically, there's never been one

I like art that depicts women not posing seductively or gracefully but simply existing as human beings.

no woman is required to “respect” cultural practices which are inherently degrading to them or religious beliefs which devalue them as human beings. we are not required to adhere to a state of patriarchal reverence whether we’re observing our own society or others, and we’re free to both criticize and reject any ideology that views female human beings as innately inferior or born for subservience.

Storyville - Defying the Cutting Season

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has been illegal in Tanzania since 1998. But every year thousands of families still plan to have their daughters cut, an ordeal that could cost them their lives. The ‘Cutting Season’ takes place during the December school holidays.

During this time hundreds of girls are saved from FGM by the police, the government and the work of the Safe House. It is run by Rhobi Samwelly, who was herself a victim of FGM, and now, not only does she valiantly run the safe house but she also works with the local police to rescue and protect girls at risk while arresting the parents and cutters.

But they have a tough and dangerous job and old customs die hard. Men believe that girls must be cut to reduce promiscuity and cut girls command twice the bride price in cows as uncut girls. Girls like Rosie, just 12 years old, have had to make the most difficult choices of their young lives - run away from home, not knowing if they will ever see their families again, or submit to female genital mutilation and child marriage.

These brave and courageous young girls are fighting against a tradition that goes back thousands of years. They are standing up for their human rights and fighting for change in their community.

The Safe House is the one safe place they can escape to.

If you identify as female, why are you taking the perspective of a male?

[dykeotomy]

i think this needs to be said again

biological sex holds zero bearing on your personality. anyone who wants to claim otherwise is sexist.

you are not a man just because you have a "boyish" sense of humor, "boyish" interests, "boyish" hobbies, or a "boyish" sense of style. you are not a man just because you dont want people staring at your body.

wanting to be free from unfair expectations and limitations doesn't make you a man. it makes you a feminist.

Dr. Naziha al Dulaimi - was an early pioneer of the Iraqi feminist movement. She was a co-founder and the first president of the Iraqi Women League, and a member of the Iraqi communist party.

In 1952, she wrote the book The Iraqi Woman. It was about women from the peasant class (al-fallahin) who were deprived of all rights both in terms of male suppression and class oppression. She also wrote about women from higher classes who had higher material status but were still property and not considered human.

This is like the fifth post I’ve seen today making up the same woman to get mad at. No actually I don’t think it’s the Hillary voters we should be worried about not showing up for Kamala lol

Yes yes, I too am very sad and annoyed that Trump is not dead, I got all breathlessly excited and queued up "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" to be ready for a great announcement, and then I didn't even get to play it. It's a huge bummer.

However, step two of this huge bummer is NOT "Oh no and now his fandom will be EVEN MORE ANNOYING, we have basically already lost :((((" That is the devil speaking. Step two is to say "Ah heck, his fandom is going to be even more annoying, better FUCKING VOTE AND MAKE SURE EVERYONE I KNOW ALSO VOTES" Stop your worthless defeatism, stop your stupid pessimism, stop trying to GIVE UP AND SURRENDER just cause one weird thing happened.

GO VOTE, IDIOTS

why did god make men last really short during sex while making women last really long during sex? the answer is easy sillies… man on man and woman on woman relationships were ALWAYS meant to be… man jerks off another man and they’re like this is it, it’s enough of an adventurous “sex” for AT LEAST a month…. us lads, we GET each other in EVERY way… while lesbians are out there beating each other’s meat for half an hour and they go to round 2 ten seconds later… they’re strong legends, that’s what they are… long story short, miss nature knows what’s up… so what’s up? mlm and wlw is the NATURAL way of living while a man/woman relationship is just a FORMAL communal way to help procreate gay legends

historically men have had no issue with marital rape

major religions insist that a wife must sexually service her husband, supporting marital rape

historically most men have been married

put this together
