the unfortunate truth is people do not care about women at all. “well, no shit girl-“ no i mean i knew it was bad but idk it just really fucking hit me. the loopholes people go through to keep women comfortable with their oppression. the way people keep treating women as if they aren’t human beings. abortion is murder, but if a woman is killed it’s just another unfortunate event.
i dont get how people don’t take misogyny and sexism as the big deals they are. i don’t understand how you can hear how pretty much every fucking day, a woman is killed at the hands of her own damn husband and go “well maybe she should’ve done xyz” and move on.
the way women aren’t allowed to go to school, be seen in public, be heard in public and then go “well that’s their culture”.
women are called bitches, cunts, and whores, beaten and abused, and everyone just… looks away??
and speaking of them being called “bitches”, when you tell people that that word is degrading and people should honestly consider it a slur, you’re looked at like you’re stupid.
it just makes me so ? i don’t even have a word for it.
the one thing i can say though is i’m happy a lot of women are starting to realize this. the amount of girls my age who recognize how absurd it is. idk, it brings me some peace.
I'm making flyers to give out and posters to put up around my community. I'm trying to create a community of woymn to educate, and so that other womyn in my area will have other womyns support. After that, I'd like to expand outside my area, and grow.
Here's a draft of the flyer design.
Any advice on the design or how to organise this community is greatly appreciated!
calling men who are immature and treat women like trash "boys" just takes blame off of what they're really doing. they're still accountable, they're fully grown men who need to take responsibility for their actions
I always hated the “pregnant with his child” like what you do mean “his child”, the saying “put a child in her” always been pornographic and oppressive to me. It’s in a way saying a woman is just a incubator or a machine for a specimen
everyday i’m grateful i’m not religious/forced to be religious. i love the freedom that comes with not praying to a magic man in the sky with bullshit rules that restrict my autonomy 🙏
edit: this doesn’t apply to all religious and spiritual practices as i know some feminists do practice these things!!!
Conservatives cosplaying as Christians when faced with someone who actually follows the teachings of Jesus Christ:
Nobody really talks about how lonely it can be as a radfem, especially how alienated you feel from other women. The continuous betrayal and ridicule you’ll experience from the same people who agree with surface-level feminist analyses is so disheartening.
You’re eager to criticize poor male behavior yet you also vehemently deny real-world oppression that we all suffer from? Acknowledging the wage gap and sexual violence statistics is all fun and games but deconstructing anything beyond that is somehow taking things too far? Do you not see the irony in condemning things like the cosmetic industry while degrading other women who choose not to shave?
I want to know at what point they think the oppression of women starts and stops. Do you genuinely believe that thousands of years of misogyny simply disappears overnight? Is it truly the case that your father, your brother, your boyfriend have miraculously been deprogrammed and it’s all other men that are the problem?
Everyone wants to shit on men until it comes time to reconcile with the fact that the majority of them actively and intentionally contribute to maintaining a patriarchal society. Then it just gets too real
bitch is a slur cunt is a slur and I think men should face the same level of scrutiny for saying those words as any other slur
reminders for today:
if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.
if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.
if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.
mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.
if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.
if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.
if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.
your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.
did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.
in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.
we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.
