Trump administration: We're going to create jobs! Also egg prices will be lower!

(1 week later) *does the biggest federal layoffs in US history and general hiring rates are lower than during the pandemic. Eggs are also up 35% and $1 an egg because why not. You may or may not get bird flu from them as well.*

It amazes me how the National Park Service is the most vocal department against Fascism. Even the Democrats are a mumble when compared to these park rangers' adamant denouncement and exposing of this administration. Support our bravest federal workers who keep our world one worth living in.

Again not a slur. At worst it's like SJW.

you're so chauvinistic it's actually kind of hilarious that you brand yourself as progressive

Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism

Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"

reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"

Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?

Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing  https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share

Amazing how defenses for sex work are both the "it's the world's oldest profession" quote from a colonizer (which is so blatantly untrue that I'm amazed that anyone believes that) and also "you're a conservative and want to control women if you think coercive rape is wrong" So is it an ancient practice that we need to conserve or something new and progressive

There's nothing more to being a human than having a human body either. That doesn't mean that someone who is a human is nothing other than their body or has no personality.

And really I wonder. Did they say "being a vagina" or "having a vagina"? Pretty big difference. Like "having 2 legs" or "being 2 legs".

If you can only view female people as vaginas or some creepy shit, that's not radical feminisms' fault.

Define woman

Why

What? No. Women get more economic power when they: aren't expected to stop working to have a child or if they get enough maternity leave and affordable pre-k education, when female-dominated fields aren't devalued, when women aren't told they must prioritize men and children over financial independence, etc. You know, all things we have made significant gains in over the past 50 years, but we're still not there yet. These are still the stats and a pretty common situation:

2. Yes? and it provides more bodily autonomy for women.

3. And... what does a group of individuals make up?

4. I would say that almost every political or social movement would beg to differ.

5. Women's shelters for one.

6. Just completely missed the point I guess. Maybe perpetuating the idea that people who look female act one way, and people who look male act another way (in a way that advantages males), isn't great for women or feminism?

7. Pretty simple. A patriarchy is a system that doesn't advantage males over females as a whole. A policy that I didn't mention already is abolishing porn and the sex industry by criminalizing sex buyers, and not the sex workers. Also, requiring women to be included in medical trials. And also, boycott things like makeup, which is functionally useless and just feeds off the idea that women are just meant to be pretty yet women are also not pretty already.

Patriarchy is also often perpetuated through how people are raised, aka male vs female socialization, so working to combat that would help. It's not "just vibes". It's also "don't teach your daughter that math is for men".

We used to make fun of people for saying "not all men" it was beautiful

"Women only started working very recently so a woman's place is the house-" shut up and feast your eyes at old photos of women from around the world doing physical labor only for them to return home and solely care for 5-10 children and the elderly parents of their husband.

Greek women represent:

These photos show Greek women doing the type of physical labor they would perform more often than not. At the luckiest working conditions for rural women (aka most of the country) they would start working the fields as children and when they got older they would work the same fields with their own babies on their backs.

On the way home from the fields, sometimes the women would carry the wood and the mule would carry the man so he could rest.

Of course, we can talk about the manual labor that is rubbing cloth and metal for hours on end, chopping and carrying wood to light a fire for a large cauldron your size, and stirring it for hours.

But we can also talk about how it wasn't for them to break and carry rocks in baskets for the making of new roads. They would gather salt, olives, and grapes and carry them on large baskets filled to the brim. For salt they carried thirty kilos each trip, doing fifty trips each, stepping shoeless on the grains of salt.

Carrying water was also their job, often moving large barrels with all the water a house of 10 needed upon hills that horses and mules had trouble ascending.

(more photos for salt mining and carrying here)

It's no hyperbole to say these women carried their incomes and households on their backs. "The good she-housekeeper is a slave and a lady" the old Greek saying goes. A "good woman" was a woman who could be strong and work at home and in the field, often described with the qualities of a mule. Men took their wives out in the fields so much that some who were a bit more educated had to make their husbands sign that they wouldn't ask them to work alongside them in the fields! (source in Greek)

Some of these photos are also from 1970. I'm missing a photo from Leukada showing women carrying baskets of the stones they broke, and I'll add it here when I find it.

Basically, women were out of the house forever. A woman who got to stay home and never perform any labor had some type of privilege (wealth, status etc). Same as the many privileged men around the world who didn't perform any labor at all.

It's just a Madonna Whore complex on a mass scale

i hate how social media is pushing a tradwife/ sex worker dichotomy. Many of us have no interest in being either.

last thing we women need, is to have our rights set back several decades or more.
