So imagine that the roads you drive on every day are filled with potholes that make commute unbearable. And imagine there are people with pickaxes who deliberately dig holes in the road. You're like isn't it awful that those potholes are there.
But then someone's like well some countries have mud roads, why complain. And another one's like the pickaxe wielders are only doing this because they're really sad and need a purpose in life. And another one's like those other drivers with big trucks don't feel anything so there really is no issue, buy shock absorbers. Another one's like actually the bumps in the road are comforting to me because they've been there my whole life, the roller coaster builds character.
Then the ones who do realise yeah there are holes in the road will talk about how bad it is but then they never bring up maybe stopping the pickaxers from digging the holes, or get some asphalt to fill them in, or build the roads better. And then when you do it's like whatttt that takes work. On second thought I feel bad for the pickaxers. Maybe we should start digging holes too, then we have control over where the holes are. Let's throw rocks at anyone who tries to stop them. And you feel like everyone else in the room is crazy and you're the only sane one, or vice versa, you can't tell anymore. That's what being a radical feminist feels like.
Masculine women who seek approval and validation from men are actually extremely feminine.
If you want to be included in the male camaraderie around you, that's feminine. Wanting to laugh along with the guys is feminine behavior. If you try to impress a man with your knowledge of cars and football, you're being feminine. If you're waiting for a man to compliment your outfit and say "great suit" you're being extremely feminine. If you have male mentors that you admire, that's peak femininity.
Real female gender nonconformity has nothing to do with men at all.
Just thinking about the recent Her app homophobic meltdown and that poll that was going around showing that most radblr lesbians are single... It might actually be time to build something like the radblr dating service that was joked about in the comments of that poll. Like its funny as a joke, but the more this goes on the more it feels genuinely needed. Even just adding a “open to ___” (flirting dating etc) role on some of these existing discords could work. Like we can’t just openly post thirst traps to each other on tumblr without fear of doxxing. But yeah, Im just worried that most of us have become kinda apathetic about the State of Things and don’t wanna try. Maybe a good chunk of it is just being comfortable alone? I don’t even know if I would use such a thing but I think it might need to exist
a gentle reminder that you did well this year. you met new people, learned new things and felt new feelings. you did so many things that made you scared. you picked yourself up off the floor after feeling completely defeated or heartbroken. there were some really tough nights but you survived them all. you made people happy just by existing. you accepted many goodbyes but the serendipitous meetings made up for them. it was your own hard work that paid off but you always downplay it or compare yourself to others. that’s not fair on yourself. you’ve come so far from the first day of this year. you have more wisdom and strength now. yes, other people seem more “successful” but does that even matter? please don’t think so lowly of yourself to only think about your failures. 2018 was your year of growth. I hope you take a moment to be kind to yourself, and believe that 2019 will be even better.
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
