Crazy How When I Was A Kid My Classmates Would Ask If My Mom Was A Boy Because She Had A Buzzcut And

on the radblr. straight up "Dworkin it". and by "it", haha, well. let's just say. Andrea.

thinking back on my childhood when I thought that my country liberated itself from fascism so no way they could come back again without a civil war

Thinking back on my childhood when I thought racism was over, Nazis no longer existed, cops were good, and America was the land of the free.

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.”

Bring back women learning self-defense as an anti-fascism movement

Just saw the most frustrating post about "bringing back red lipstick as an anti-fascism movement" - the male CEOs of every major cosmetics company would LOVE that. You wouldn't be sticking it to any fascists by conforming to sexist beauty standards. Save your money, save your time, and fight fascism by, you know, standing up to fascist leaders and policies. Don't buy lipstick.

Someone should study how female stem students are treated by professors (of both sexes) at exams in relation to how much they perform femininity because I have some theories

bought an e-cig today and feel like a fucking child yeah of course stupid fucking lungs you're not strong enough for real tobacco anymore ohh poor you let me get your pacifier

sorry I did a little dance after finishing an exam today I will go back to being mysterious and cool and tough asap

Blue!

I too want to be friends with all the feminists in my phone, dms are always open :)))

I completely agree with the post and I see the place the reblog is coming from but I just want to address some things, don't read my response as rude as it is not my intention:

you CAN and WILL find safe and satisfying relationships; if you're a straight woman these are going to be friendships with other women because, I agree, the probability of finding happiness and respect in a relationship with a man is near zero (and we may as well take it to be zero because this is real life we're talking about)

we live in a patriarchal society, and men are actively taught and encourage to torment women in various ways, that's true: build walls around yourself, become physically and mentally strong, find a community in which to find comfort and protection

you have the power to be independent, you have the power to resist the constraints in which society tries to force you; find that independence and use it to help other women

statistically, every man is going to mistreat you, older men often have the financial means to make it harder for you to get out - an high-school boyfriend can get violent, an older man can do that + make it impossible for you to leave if you depend on him, it's not worth it

being alone is better sometimes; other people will damage you, sure, but again, you're going to find a community and often the damage a boyfriend/husband/occasional partner can do to you doesn't compare to that done by other people (excluding family members)

not everyone is a predator, most men are (probably all the ones you cross your path with) but most women aren't; you're going to find women who are nice to you because you're smart and interesting and fun

It’s extremely disturbing to see so many young girls obsessed with older men and actively seeking them out. Despite what you may have been told this is not normal or quirky and is a sign that you probably need therapy. That grown man that’s giving you attention isn’t lana del rey vinyl, he’s a predator. You’re a victim of patriarchal oppression that targets young girls.

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 :)
