women create life and then men appropriate it by giving his name to the child; “she’s pregnant with his child”, “we’re pregnant” we’re expecting”; he celebrates the “dad bod”. contemporarly, men say it’s women’s job to reproduce, it’s her duty, it’s her purpose; her pregnant and post-partum body is ruined and disgusting, she can’t “let herself go”, she needs to do better and “get back on track”.

women create community, art, technology and then men appropriate it by locking her away and stealing her labour, energy and time. contemporarly, men say she has to serve his unilateral society, he calls her art bland or absurd, her technology is forgotten, stolen or unimportant; nothing is ever enough to compare to his society, his art, his technology, she always needs to do better.

do you see the connection? this is why i say creation is female. a man can only create because a woman decided to create him first. this is why patriarchy destroys.

It's funny how lesbianism, the one sexuality that completely excludes men, is the one that's most deconstructed, discussed, attacked, and met with unwanted attempts to forcibly alter it's meaning.

The ONE sexuality that excludes men.

As a woman, you're always too young or too old for things, because the perfect age is when you're a man.

your sex is literally just your body. it is a completely neutral biological characteristic. it says nothing about you. nothing about your personality is incompatible with your body. you can act/dress/behave any way you want regardless of your sex! neither your personality or body need to change!!

baffling how this take has become so demonized

95% of women in prostitution want to leave, but can't because they don't have things such as financial means, healthcare, housing, treatment for addiction, or job training.

this is not a 'choice', and it is not 'empowering'.

there is no consent when a woman is fearing for her life.

I knew about top "nullification" surgery where even the nipples are erased from your body, but today I learned about bottom "nullification" surgery. When you think you've seen all the ways in which patriarchy exerts its power, you find another one. Of course it was someone who's female and identifying as non-binary who did it. I saw the pictures. She's in her early 20s, had the option to get the nerves out (so not being able to feel anything down there) but at the last moment was convinced by her mom to keep them. Still, that surgery consists of sewing everything shut except a small hole to urinate. This is the "modern" FGM, the "everything is a choice" option and they (surgeons and people who support this) will try to draw you as the villain for pointing out the issues before ever questioning the ethic of such surgeries. If you're asexual then your sexual organs won't force you to have sex, you can live without using your vagina for sex or delivering babies for that matter. Your body is not a customisable machine from which you leave out the parts that you don't like at some point in your life. The hegemony of capitalism (which dehumanises humans and try to make robots out of us) coupled with patriarchy is what made this horror possible.

You can have a been a young girl raped by a man and getting deeply traumatised for it to the point you want nothing to do with your body anymore, and greedy surgeons will take advantage of this distress and clear ptsd. I am full of rage. I won't ever stop fighting for women's liberation and having this as my priority when the situation for girls and women regardless of how they identify and everywhere around the world is this terrible.

I just wanted to share this convo we had during lunch at International Women's day last year:

Uncle: Women's day? Why do you need a day. When is men's day??

Grandma, without even thinking twice: it's on April 1st
