95% of women in prostitution want to leave, but can't because they don't have things such as financial means, healthcare, housing, treatment for addiction, or job training.
this is not a 'choice', and it is not 'empowering'.
there is no consent when a woman is fearing for her life.
i check tumblr on my phone like i read the newspaper and i am devastated
the most pathetic thing i've seen to come out of the election is self proclaimed "radfems" openly admitting they voted for trump, a man with several sexual assault allegations against him just because he can define what a woman is. you cannot believe that women are safer under a literal rapists leadership just because he knows what a woman is.
the entire dylan mulvaney schtick and the discussion of imane khelif peaked so many women and convinced them to be right wing. and women voted for him and what he stands for... a disgusting man who doesn't even believe they deserve anatomy, freedom, or rights.
I just wanted to share this convo we had during lunch at International Women's day last year:
Uncle: Women's day? Why do you need a day. When is men's day??
Grandma, without even thinking twice: it's on April 1st
As ramadan comes around, I’m thinking about all of the women being either forced or manipulated into fasting for ramadan right now. The women who aren’t Muslim but their family still forces them to follow the religion. The women who, by Islamic fasting principles, shouldn’t be fasting on their period but are forced to anyway. Every woman in these situations. 💔
I knew about top "nullification" surgery where even the nipples are erased from your body, but today I learned about bottom "nullification" surgery. When you think you've seen all the ways in which patriarchy exerts its power, you find another one. Of course it was someone who's female and identifying as non-binary who did it. I saw the pictures. She's in her early 20s, had the option to get the nerves out (so not being able to feel anything down there) but at the last moment was convinced by her mom to keep them. Still, that surgery consists of sewing everything shut except a small hole to urinate. This is the "modern" FGM, the "everything is a choice" option and they (surgeons and people who support this) will try to draw you as the villain for pointing out the issues before ever questioning the ethic of such surgeries. If you're asexual then your sexual organs won't force you to have sex, you can live without using your vagina for sex or delivering babies for that matter. Your body is not a customisable machine from which you leave out the parts that you don't like at some point in your life. The hegemony of capitalism (which dehumanises humans and try to make robots out of us) coupled with patriarchy is what made this horror possible.
You can have a been a young girl raped by a man and getting deeply traumatised for it to the point you want nothing to do with your body anymore, and greedy surgeons will take advantage of this distress and clear ptsd. I am full of rage. I won't ever stop fighting for women's liberation and having this as my priority when the situation for girls and women regardless of how they identify and everywhere around the world is this terrible.
Thoughts on kinky lesbian sex or is that somehow for the patriarchy too
The reason why racism is portrayed to be a much bigger problem than misogyny is because men are affected by racism.
Society doesn’t take any problems seriously until a man is directly being affected by them too.
WOMENS PERSONAL SAFETY, COMFORT, AND PROTECTION WILL ALWAYS BE ABOVE THE FEELINGS OF MEN. we need to get meaner.

‘people who identify as men’ aren’t misogynists. MEN are misogynists.
The same way ‘people who identify as women’ aren’t victims of misogyny. WOMEN are victims of misogyny.
