#women of America unite

Attention badass bitches everywhere...

Show them you won't take right-wing shit. I'll be right behind you in line at the voting booth. (So be a bit careful with those swords around fellow liberal, anti-patriarchal, and supportive guys. )

Happy 4th of July!!

I don’t know if this makes sense and I’m probably gonna delete it eventually because Trump administration and internet tracking 🤪

I have seen so many white women on TikTok talk about the “4b” movement or “boycotting men”. I’ve also seen so many white women talking about a “loss for women everywhere” and “the devastating feeling of being a woman” and “is this what katniss felt like?”. And those feelings are valid, I’m not one to tell people how they can / can’t react during a world changing election. (I also know the katniss one is usually a joke).

But 53% of us couldn’t even band together to vote for a qualified black woman over a literal rapist. We need to swallow that. We need to address that. And that same 53% is commenting things like “He doesn’t want you anyway🤪” or “More for me!” on posts talking about things like a sex ban or 4B movement. There is no sisterhood, and there will be no “4B, 5B, 6B, or 7B” movement so long as 53% of white women continue to center men. Even out of those of us that did vote for Kamala or third party, some of us didn’t break up with our republican boyfriends/fiances/husbands until yesterday. And make no mistake, I am so proud of those of you who did finally find the courage to end that relationship. I’m not shaming you. But I am saying we cannot rely on this “sisterhood”.

There is no sisterhood in whiteness, because white supremacy and far-right ideologies are inherently based on in group fighting and othering. Make no mistake, you can find sisterhood in your white friends, women, and groups. But there’s a difference. Sisterhood and female solidarity has never been a part of whiteness. Which is why it is so important we center poc and specifically black voices during the next years ahead. Not to put labor on them, not as an excuse to not work, but because this “sisterhood” we speak of doesn’t exist. Not without acknowledging race. If we truly want to see change, we need to start decentralizing ourselves from the conversation. We need to unpack whiteness. And we need to unpack our main character syndromes.

What does this mean?

No handmaids tale cosplays.

No “we’re the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn”.

No “I was raised by Katniss Everdeen”

Again, I am not saying that sisterhood doesn’t exist among white women. But I am saying sisterhood centered around whiteness will never be as strong or as potent as intersectional, anti-racist sisterhood. And if we really, really want to see change, we need to unpack this and we need to unpack this yesterday.

I hope this makes sense.

Sincerely,

An Embarrassed, Disappointed White Woman

p.s.

I’m not saying anything new. But unfortunately, if it’s from a fellow white woman I’m hoping more people will listen.

This is real. Stop sitting on the internet arguing with other people about celebrities. Who is who and all that bs. Ts is getting out of hand fr.

We’re taking multiple steps back in history. Everything your grandparents and great grandparents build is getting knocked down.

Mention these topics to your favs and get them to talk about it, yeah it maybe annoying but is getting scary out here and this shit will affect them too.

There is hundreds HUNDREDS of pages republicans have wrote that’s stripping minorities and women’s rights.

AMERICA HAS A FUCKING PROBLEM.

Seeing women & immigrants voting for trump is so sad, its like watching a lamb be a walking advertisement for a slaughterhouse, and then walking straight into the slaughterhouse house. Trump don’t care, he will make your life hell!

So, in other news, the page on Sex and Gender on the NIH Women's Health page has been completely removed.

(I have blanked out my toolbar to avoid sharing identifiable info)

Here, I will be posting downloadable links to a PDF of the article copy-pasted in a Google doc. It originally existed at https://orwh.od.nih.gov/sex-gender as recently as January 13th, but has since seemingly vanished.

I have also included 9 pdfs I found when searching "Sex and Gender" on the NIH Office of Research on Women's Health website. They are still up as of January 31st 2025 5:21pm EST. These are not the only ones, but I only have so much space on my school laptop. I ask anyone with the means to please help archive all of these files, because they are seemingly being actively scrubbed from the internet and cannot be accessed on Wayback or via VPN.

Resist. Links below the cut;

I hope the leftists are happy

Because no one else will be

Ukraine is fucked, Palestine is fucked, the rights of women minorities and queers are fucked, the world is going to move closer and closer to massive wars and environmental catastrophe

And American democracy....

If we make it through this, we will only do so at heavy cost, a lot of us won't make it through this, and it will take decades to get back to a place even close to what we were at, and in some cases there will be no going back

From the bottom of my heart, fuck you and I hope there is a hell, you belong in it

In 1916, Adeline and Augusta Van Buren became the first women to travel across the continental United States on two solo motorcycles.

“We the people of the United States…”

I don’t believe it is coincidence that the U.S. is presented in such a way, the initials are everything. We are the people, it is US, who made America.

United we stand, you know the rest.

But the ‘we the people’ is important, vitally so.

We the people hold the actual power within America.

The Money Hoarders who have exploited us are not one of us. They do not work for a living, they do not struggle to make ends meet, they simply profit off of the suffering of others less fortunate.

They are not US.

We are the people.

They are nothing.

Fight for our right to choose.

Fight for our right to know.

Fight for our right to vote.

Fight for our right to be us.

Fight for our rights.

“We the people”

This is our cry.

No such thing as a white ally.

White yanks will turn on you in a SECOND. Avoid white yanks. They'll get you killed.

They will lie to your face.

Today one of my teachers recommended Erin In The Morning to me for trans news. It came up as we were talking about the anti-trans legislation that Trump has passed, so I think now is an important time to raise awareness of places where you can find this kind of information.

Do not roll over and obey in advance. Don’t let them take your rights away. DO SOMETHING !!!
