the way you wash the dishes, a relationship with a man, the attitude you show to strangers, which country to travel ... EVERYTHING IS ANALYZED UNDER A MICROSCOPE TO SEE IF IT IS FIT TO SOCIETY BY OTHERS AND TO SEE IF IT IS HOW YOU WANT TO REPRESENT WOMEN BY YOURSELF
wise words from istanbul
I just had this conversation with my friend and I thought I'd share it here : believing that feminism has to educate men in order to destroy the patriarchy because we cannot do it without them (this is what she believes) is believing that men oppress us because they are ignorant. It is saying that they oppress us because they don't know what they're doing and don't realize they are doing something wrong, and that somehow this ignorance has been going on for centuries. It is being overly naive. Men aren't babies. Men aren't innocent little beings who would never hurt us if they knew their actions were hurtful. They have been oppressing us for thousands of years, we have been figthing against it for thousands of years ; how could it be possible for them not to understand what they do ? How could they possibly take away our rights without understanding what they do ? How could they hit us, rape us, traffick us without understanding what they do ? And it's not like feminism is new. We have been fighting for centuries and they have been fighting back for centuries to prevent us to free ourselves. They don't read feminist books, they don't take listen to our sperches, they ignore us when we talk about our rights, they mock us, they don't take us seriously. And listen to them speaking. Listen to them giving each other relationship advices, teaching each other to manipulate us. Listen to them talking about us. Read their comments on the internet. Read their damn books and essays about feminism and women's rights. They know what they're doing. They don't care about us. They hate us, they don't see us as humans.
I need people to understand that I want more scary Stiles Stilinski. I'm feral for this little sopping wet cat of a man whom everyone underestimates until he goes from 0 to 100. One second he's being a little damsel in distress but then one of his friends gets hurt and suddenly he stands in a field of gore cackling at the sky because the bloodlust has driven him nearly insane. Bonus points if Derek is there and matches his freak.

remembering last year when my male cousins shit talked about my outfit and how a daughter from our family wouldn't show that much cleavage so I inhaled, opened my mouth to put them in their place and stopped because I was curious what my father would say to them and he never even defended me, didn't open his mouth, just laughed "you could do that on your own, you always have" I KNOW. I could've but I wanted YOU to show solidarity. "they don't actually think that they know you're a hotheaded feminist so they try to rile you up" so the constant judgement of women's clothing is a joke to you and shouldn't be taken seriously?
they act like it means nothing while it shapes our whole world view. yesterday I saw a trans identified male calling a guy "if a man can't be a woman why are you such a pussy" like... did you ever sit and thought why the genitals of the group of people you tryna be carries a deragatory meaning? if you truly feel connected a womanhood why are you using a word that's supposed to be an insult to our inferiority in a man's world?
I'm exhausted by this constant pretense that we live in an equal world, as though sexist slurs like 'bitch' or 'mf' exist in isolation. These words are never neutral, they always target women.
And yet, men brush it off, claiming they don’t mean it literally or justifying it because one or two women told them it’s okay. But they never question why these slurs are always rooted in women’s degradation. Misogyny is normalized, ignored and excused at every turn.
welp I was just about to ask my classmate if she would like to hangout that way after this sunday, guess since flamingo pride curse is upon us I continue on with voluntary celibate
what a way to end pride month
OK theory time:remember how in the 16th century,on the rehearsal of Shakespeare's play we learn they help each other with miracles, the last one crowley wants from aziraphale being something to do in Scotland (if I remember correctly) and the records that keep turning into "Everyday" is from a pub from Edinburgh? yes, I think it's their "shared" magic that have gotto do with this "Clue"
P.S:I just watched the first two episodes of season two so no spoilers please
