Real!!

when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

How do you cope with misogyny? I find myself getting depressed when I realize how much everyone hates women and that the world would never change.

meh I'm just really angry all the time.

Serious answer: I try to uplift/help/support the women in my life and I engage in activism and politics, I think it's normal to grieve what we could've had if we didn't live in a patriarchal system but our actions can and will be meaningful for so many women and that's something, it's a lot actually.

Less serious answer: I think of mysoginistic men when I hit the boxing bag hehe

I'm begging all feminists to watch this movie if you haven't, it was huge in Italy and deserves more international recognition

helloooo

just download tumblr again and saw a couple asks wondering where I was (thanks!!!)

a lot of things have been happening lately, mainly I'm busy writing my dissertation bc I'm about to graduate and my advisor told me she's going to be abroad for like a month so we have to cram a lot of the work now 😭😭 I'm having a lot of fun with that tho and have no stress university-wise

BUT ALSO next year I'm moving to another country to continue my studies and looking for a flat is absolutely draining me (the lack of dishwashers.......)

also, originally I took this kinda long hiatus from the blog bc I was organising some events and demonstration at my university, mainly feminism-related (maybe I'll write another post on that as well :))) ) it all went very well and I'm very proud

so yeah been doing lots of stuff but I admit I missed my radical feminist corner of this website 🫶🏻🫶🏻

what have you all been up to lately?????

If school is catered towards women tell me why my parents had to fight with every PE teacher because I wanted to play the "boys sports" instead of doing boring ass pilates in elementary school

I get so pissed when people say this. The education system was literally created by and for men. Women weren’t allowed to get an education for hundreds of years. Women are still not allowed to get an education in certain countries. Every time women are better at men than something they blame it on “the system.”

me when I accidentally update an app and now it has AI

she’s right

my working theory when reading elon musk news is that he watched house of cards and didn't understand who the bad guy was

for reparation, you know

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

Feminists have never treated men the way mysoginists treat women, so yeah, I think this was abundantly clear.

Hello there! Dear tumblr user, did you know that "men as a class hold privilege and power over women" and "men are human beings who deserve basic decency" are two stances that can coexist :)

What's the context behind your profile picture? :)

So glad you asked!!

It's by italian photoreporter Tino Petrelli, it was taken around the 25th of April 1945 in Milan, after antifascist rebel groups liberated Italy.

After the liberation, these groups surrendered their weapons to the Allies as part of an agreement, which is what the women in the picture are doing (although the specific picture may be staged).

One of them is Anna Maria Leone, 17 at the time, who was part of the "Women's defense group", after the war she worked as an actress and writer and was active in the feminist movement. It's not clear who the other two women are.
