This has been said many times but the way no one questions elevating men to hero status despite well-documented misogyny but women aren't allowed to view other women as role models or "feminist icons" if they don't meet some unattainable standard of purity is relentless.

“Girls and the gays” is so interesting because even though both parts of that statement describe lesbians, I always get the feeling that the people who say it are not thinking about lesbians at all

I just saw this video on tiktok and I’m devastated. She was fourteen when her mother paid and consented for her to have laser hair removal of her underarms. Fourteen.

Imagine going through puberty, feeling lost and confused, growing up racialised as a brown woman, facing all the sexism and racism that comes with that, then looking to your mother to guide you and instead she validates all the abuse you’ve endured.

She tells you they are right. That you are, in your natural state, wrong and disgusting. She shows you that even with age and time, you will not be free from this misogyny and racism. You will internalise this message so much that you will one day look at your own daughter and instead of seeing her worth, you just see things that need to be fixed.

imagine if we as women, instead of being taught to be meek and waste time with stuff like makeup, were encouraged to pick up a sledgehammer and use it to have fun and express what's in our hearts. just a thought

Often, men will say something like : "Who built this world? Men! Who created everything, all the technology, the great art, the culture, our societies? Who built the roads you drive on? Men!" and feminists will respond "That's because you didn't let us work or make art!" and... that's just wrong? Why are you validating the idea that women didn't contribute anything to the world? That we didn't work? That we didn't innovate? And why are you approving the nonsense that says being a mother is not work?

Don't let men rewrite history.

Women have always worked the double shift; outside of home and inside of home.

People tend to think that being uncomfortable with gnc people is a men's problem, but honestly a lot of women are mad uncomfortable with masculine women. Yeah, even feminists of any variety. Like they have this idea of masculine women being all cool and defying the patriarchy and whatnot, until they meet masc women who are not like the fantasy teddybear butch they idealized on their social media of choice. Add to this that a lot of them don't know how to act around women who live with no regards for gender roles, and feel taken aback when stereotypical norms of female socialization aren't followed in a conversation.

I think most women are pretty comfortable with considering this a men's problem because this means they don't have to check their own behaviour, since it's men's that's on the spotlight, so I don't expect this to change anytime soon tbh. But at the end of the day, women are just as anxious to steer/guilt other women towards femininity or feminine attitudes as men are with making each other act masculine. Possibly, the whole emphasis on men when it comes to this issue has made them believe that the way women are taught to socialize with one another is the natural (and only) way of doing so, and therefore they aren't aware of how much this is not true until they meet women who don't act like that. Which could also tie into how they often see our masculinity as a performance that takes ideological maintenance or something born out of rebellion, when for many of us it's something effortless and the only way we feel comfortable navigating the world.

The women who treat masculine women like human beings tend to be either masculine themselves, or to be the kind that approach them without any weird or political expectations.
