“There is no global epidemic of battered husbands or of mothers raping their children. Sorority girls don’t slip male students date rape drugs and gang-rape them at parties. Cheerleaders don’t wait until football players are too intoxicated to walk or speak, have sex with them, film the rape and share it with all their friends via social media. Boys are not pressured to send topless photos of themselves then blackmailed with the photos, then stalked and bullied and mocked until they kill themselves. There are not entire websites devoted to posting pornified imagery of ex-boyfriends in order to shame and humiliate them. There is no industry wherein women are coercing boys and men into prostitution, en masse, forcing them to have sex with strange women day in and day out. These are the facts. I know these things to be true because this reality is impossible to ignore if you pay any attention to media at all, because I am a woman and this is my life, and because I’m a feminist and I understand the devastating impact patriarchy has on women and girls everywhere. And that is why, as a feminist, I believe women.”

woman helping woman ❤️

Video description:

A woman tells a male that she is not interested in his advances. Entitled male thinks he has a say and tells her “but I’m interested”. Woman passerby stops to ask if she is okay, she says no. That passerby immediately helps her ward off the male. I love her so muchhhh

“Because we have lived so intimately with our oppressors, in isolation from each other, we have been kept from seeing our personal suffering as a political condition. This creates the illusion that a woman’s relationship with her man is a matter of interplay between two unique personalities, and can be worked out individually. In reality, every such relationship is a class relationship, and the conflicts between individual men and women are political conflicts that can only be solved collectively.”

— Redstockings Manifesto, 1969

Also, sorry, I don't really care what culture or race it is. I don't find your story about being beat by your parents funny, no matter how "well" you turned out. I don't think it's funny that abuse in the household is so commonplace that vague jokes can be made about it and everyone will understand. I don't think it's funny that you, a daughter, is treated differently and neglected in comparison to your spoiled, enabled brother. I don't think it's funny that your parents grounded you for months over the smallest things.

And I know in half of these instances, it is mostly a way to laugh through the pain. But there are a handful who treat it as inevitable and just a quirk of growing up __. I'm getting sick (been sick) of bad parenting or straight up permitted child abuse just being a norm.

I hate how so much of female culture is about masochism- starving yourself, wanting to hurt yourself, romanticizing or eroticizing sexual violence. And male culture is loving yourself and thinking you're the shit. That's fucked up and unfair. I want a female culture where women hate seeing other women tied up for ✨art✨, hate the thought of not eating when you're hungry, hate the thought of doing anything for beauty that is painful, hate the thought of ever denying ourselves anything that makes us happy.

“I know all women are supposed to be strong enough now to strangle presidents and patriarchies between their powerful thighs, but it doesn’t work that way. Many of us were actually affected, by male systems and male anger, in ways we cannot always articulate or overcome. Sometimes, when the ceiling seems especially low and the past especially close, I think to myself, I did not make it out. I am still there in that place of diminishment, where that voice an octave deeper than mine is telling me what I am.”

If you’re a feminist, not everything you do has to be a feminist decision. You can make the personal decision to shave or wear makeup but as a feminist, you should investigate where this desire comes from. It’s okay to be influenced and affected by the patriarchy. It’s normal to feel pressure to conform to beauty standards. To deny that you experience pressure from beauty standards is to deny beauty standards pressuring women. To say that shaving is “for yourself” may make you feel better about giving into sexist pressures but it ultimately undermines feminism as a whole.

Not to sound crazy, but I swear the lack of male given cunnilingus in films drives me nuts. Like BJs are so common in films. I’m so sick of seeing male pleasure in films.

Feminism is just fun & games to these losers. They don't give a damn about women's rights, they just want to belittle JK Rowling. How can you see the horrors these women faced and how amazing it is they were able to be helped, and just brush it off with a stupid joke?
