Like I Really Hope You Understand Those People Really Really REALLY Believe WHOLEHEARTEDLY That You Can

the humble "like" is oft mocked despite what it does for us. "like, three people" is a vastly different statement from "three people". "and i was like 'what the fuck'" is vastly different from "and i said 'what the fuck'". i love you "like" and anyone who says you make people sound stupid will be killed on sight

People be like, “Oh, you’re reducing womanhood to just having a vagina.”

And I’m like... yeah....

The fact I was born with a vulva was the entire baseline of the sexism I faced growing up and still face every day.

It’s not some abstract identity or feeling. It’s the brutal, physical reality that shaped how the world treated me from day one.

So don’t tell me womanhood isn’t tied to the body when that body has been the frontline of every fight I’ve had to survive.

I love my body, if I’m being honest: Like, thank you for carrying me through all this kind of love.

But it’s also just a body. It’s weird. It leaks. It gets sore. It’s lopsided and unpredictable at times, my back hurts a lot.

Because it’s human, my vessel, not my whole story.

But unfortunately, outside factors have tried to disrupt that and tried to make me distrust this body.

Tried to convince me it was too much, too little, too wrong, too dangerous, too female.

They taught me to flinch at my reflection and to see my body as something to fix, cover, offer, or hide.

All because I have a vulva.

A vagina.

Labia.

Ovaries.

A uterus.

Tubes.

Mammary glands.

That’s all it took.

Not my words. Not my thoughts. Not my heart or how I treat people.

Just the fact that I was born in this body with these parts and suddenly the world decided what I deserved.

Pain. Shame. Control. Violation. Comparison. Dismissal.

They built entire systems to punish me for being born with organs I didn’t choose.

And then had the audacity to tell me I was reducing womanhood by naming the body they’ve spent centuries trying to control.

So yeah I’m a woman because I have a vagina.

Deal with it 💋

random 2000s lesbians on abandoned 16 year old flickr account you mean absolutely fucking everything to me

Ew. This person: "Men are more opressed than real women because the man put a dress on! It's true because I said so! If you disagree with me I'll see red👿". Pathetic.

How is op so loud and wrong? So embarrassing.

corporations be like “noooooo women please fuck your natural predator or we won’t have more consumers to generate more profits in the next decade pleaaasssuuuhhh😩😩”

men are literally out here making tiktoks that call all women who like to read PORN ADDICTS just bc some women like to read romance novels that have like 3% smut content. meanwhile like 95% of them are watching "teen slut gets anal gang bang by bbc" on the daily, which-as opposed to just being words on a page-involves the actual abuse of young women. and I'm supposed to NOT tell them to kill themselves in response...

coquette tumblr girls love to compare themswlves to prey animals. uhm no. deer will literally shred you with their kicking hooves and they are beautiful and strong. you are something else that rolls over and dies.

radfems being depicted as "ugly" will never stop being so ironically funny to me? like you're going to try to insult a group of womyn by... telling them that you aren't going to respect their opinion because they don't fit your beauty standards?? you're literally proving their point?? a woman's worth is not based on her sex appeal lmao
