Women's unpaid Labour

Worldwide, women and girls perform 12.5 billion hours of unpaid labor every day. This work adds $10.8 trillion to the economy every year.

With this unpaid "shadow-labour" alone, women contribute as much as 6.6 percent to the global GDP.

It exceeds the combined revenue of the 50 largest companies on last year’s , including Walmart, Apple and Amazon.

"Random clown: I hate feminists many of them are just bitter.

"Real Feminist" : Not every woman that claims to be a feminist is one. Many women today are bitter men hating women hiding under the umbrella of Feminism. Feminism is about fighting for equal rights, and equality, anything aside that is not feminism, it's misandry and I'm totally not in support of that.

Random clown: It's only very few women that understand the real meaning of Feminism, the rest are just men haters.

"Real Feminist" : True, very few women but we exist. It's sad how those men haters keep spoiling the real meaning of Feminism.

This is the kind of dialogue I see in many comment sections from real feminists who are trying their best to make Feminism more appealing to and accommodating for men by watering it down to the level they can take.

Women like this, disgust me to my marrow.

It's giving "I'm not like other feminist, the rest of them are fake, bitter and filled with hatred, I'm a sweet loving angel...all I just look forward to is both men and women living in harmony because we'll always need each other, so please understand me, and accept my lil kingdom. I'm rare and better".

Likeee girlllll why are you invested in proving to be a better and worthy woman to some man who literally doesn't give a fuck about your existence?

The only difference between you and a pickme is that you're disguising and a pickme is not. Because you're literally throwing other women, in the same cause with you, that are only more fierce and passionate under the bus, to please and accommodate a clown who hates that these women are calling the shots for themselves and matching energy where necessary by watering down Feminism, speaking ill of these women and proving to be a better person.

Situations where a man talks down on Feminism, the best response is silence or making it clear to him without dragging other women into it, because these beasts do not understand love at all!!!.

- From now on, whenever | get asked, "You're a feminist, so do you hate men?” I'm going to ask, “You're not a feminist. So do you hate women?” -

Funny how men see female liberation as "man-hating". But it's unsurprising, since they see us as objects and a mere resource they are entitled by birthright to posess; our freedom feels to them as their loss, our right to humanity as a threat.

The way my mother talks about girls that have more “developed bodies” is DISGUSTING. The young girl she is speaking about is in the 5TH GRADE but ofc bc they was playing “ hide in go get it” in school that means she will be too..

LET GIRLS EXIST WITHOUT BEING SLUT SHAMED

LET GIRLS HAVE OPPOSITE GENDER FRIENDS WITH OUT LOOKING DOWN ON THEM

GIRLS ARE NOT FAST BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE DEVELOPED BODIES 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

GIRLS ARE NOT FAST BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE DEVELOPED BODIES 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

GIRLS 👏🏾ARE 👏🏾NOT 👏🏾FAST 👏🏾BECAUSE 👏🏾THEY 👏🏾HAVE 👏🏾MORE 👏🏾DEVELOPED👏🏾 BODIES 👏🏾

Honestly, this. This, this, this.

Especially with Agatha’s excuse of “it was the 1920s!” sounds so similar to how white people respond to reparations (“It was 400 years ago! Get over it.”)

"What are you going to do, have genital inspections to use the bathrooms?"

-a TRA

Males truly cannot conceive of the idea of simply respecting the space and boundaries of women. It literally doesn't cross their minds, so their minds immediately jump to whether or not women can forcibly stop them. The belief is that if a woman cannot forcibly prevent it, you may take anything you like from her with impunity.

“reclaimed femininity” is a scam sold by the patriarchy

“sex work is empowering” is a scam sold by the patriarchy

choice “feminism” is a scam sold by the patriarchy

being complicit with your subordination and dehumanization is not empowering and it’s not feminist. you’re literally just revolving your life around how you can get a man’s dick hard.

There's this way of doing female-ness in Christianity that I call "pastel flower journal Christianity." I've got nothing against pastel flower journals per se, but for some reason people believe it's the end all and be all of female spirituality, and I think it's a real disservice towards young Christian women.

One of these days I'd like to start a prayer-and-reading group or something for young women, but there would be no floral themes or over-focus on how "God thinks you're beautiful even if the world doesn't" (a true statement, but it's wayyyyy too often the focus in women's spiritual reading). Instead we would be reading:

Seneca's Letters from a Stoic

Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning

Sheed's A Map of Life

Portions of Pieper's book on leisure

Kreeft's Three Philosophies of Life

Guardini's The Lord (or something similar)

Therese's Story of a Soul

and some select portions of the Nicomachean Ethics.

(Also they're all getting the porn talk. I don't know why we give the porn talk to young men but not young women. There's this idea that women don't use porn and they only need the talk about "guarding their heart." Bullshit. There's porn on the YA shelves of Barnes and Nobles and before that there were bodice rippers. Young women need the porn talk too.)

Every young woman needs to be getting a basic grounding in virtue ethics, logic, natural law, scholastic philosophy and Biblical hermeneutics if they're going to get by in today's spiritual landscape. Enough faffery and emotionalism in young women's spiritual education! Give them real food to chew on, not pasty sentimentalism!

i don't know if you guys have been keeping up with the women's world cup but this past sunday spain won against england. and you would think this would be the best moment of their careers and their lives but you wanna know what happened?

the spanish football federation's president non-consensually kissed one of the players, jenni hermoso, on the mouth when they were celebrating. this grown ass man took it upon himself to ruin the celebration for ALL the women who just achieved the thing they have been preparing for all their lives, literally the peak of a football player's career, they did it and he by himself ruined it.

and i say all the women because the other players, along 58 currently inactive and ex-players, stood up for jenni hermoso and have refused to play for the team until luis rubiales publicly apologizes and renounces his spot. now the rfef says they'll take legal action against the players and jenni for lying and because they have an obligation to play for the team.

do you remember how the men's world cup celebrations went? i do, im from argentina. no one said anything to any of the players, they were treated like kings for months and they are worshipped to this day. and rightfully so! they earned it i guess. but we do see the discrepancy?

how is it that we allow as a society for one man to sexually assault a woman right after achieving the thing another group of men got ceaselessly venerated for not even a year later? what do women have to do to earn respect? win the world cup? become the pride and joy of their country?

fandom talks too little about hylla and reyna. reyna killed her father when she thought he'd killed hylla. hylla dragged them out of puerto rico and found them sanctuary and employment on circe's island AND became one of circe's favorites. then when they got captured by blackbeard hylla also got them out of that situation by out-pirating literal immortal pirates. then in a span of three years, they split up, found their own ways to the amazons and cj, and became the leaders of their respective factions. when hylla's queenship was being threatened by otrera in son, she plotted a counter-coup and defeated an amazon queen who couldn't die two nights in a row in one-on-one combat, THEN led her cavalry to camp jupiter. (ik this woman slept like a corpse for a week afterwards). hylla used reyna as an absolutely ruthless bait-and-switch to capture orion, and all reyna said in response to that was, "bet." reyna carries insurmountable amounts of both guilt and gratitude towards her sister. even though they havent seen each other in a while, hylla still drops everything and does everything in her power to save her baby sister when she knows reyna needs her.

russia now wants couples to have 8 children. the burden of childbirth always falls on women. be it controlling population or increasing it, the government feels entitled to women's bodies.

remember when in india, indira gandhi had forced vasectomies done? (i dont condone that ofc there were other social markers which decided who was sterilised). not one person said then that resources are limited and we need population control to save them. it was just... wrong. because it is unfair to control what people do with their bodies. YEAH BRING THAT ENERGY BACK.

Can we talk about how America Ferrera delivered this insanely beautiful and impactful monologue about the hardships of being a woman. One of which is the fact that women have to be accountable for men’s actions which she says herself is insane.

And yet.

Here we are. Having to explain to men that the Barbie movie is not anti-men or sexist or meant to make men hate themselves.

We have to, yet again, be accountable for what men feel, and explain that, oh no we don’t hate you! We didn’t mean to upset you! Because the whole point was lost on them.

And now instead of my dash being filled with the magnificence of Barbie and the discoveries she’s made or even just the fact that Ken starts taking control of his life, I am instead somehow subjected to discourse after discourse of people needing to break down the movie so men will stop complaining about it.

I just. Wow. Being a woman. It always comes back to this, doesn’t it. And I hate it. Because we deserve more honestly.

You mentioned Vaggie trying to dress up Alastor in feminine style a couple of times, would you like to show us an example of such occurence?

(in other words, can we see Alastor in a dress, Vaggie can't be the only one who gets to see him like that)

The sort of outfits and ways she'll get him in said outfits will vary. Vaggie for the most part does genuinely try to find and put him in feminine clothes of his time (so she more than likely has gone to cannibal town for dresses). But she's definitely not opposed to putting him in more, shall we say... skimpy attire. Or things that perhaps don't fit quite right on him.

Other residents have 100% seen him outside his normal attire because of Vaggie. And have perhaps gotten a bit more of a show than Alastor would ever intend for anyone to see (though that's never Vaggie's intention).
