When I Hear That From Men Who Study Math I Always Tell Them "you're Not Good At Math And It Shows" Because

one time my university invited a motivational speaker and he started by talking about historical figures he found inspirational (like in business/economics) and then asked "what do they have in common?" and a girl in the crowd shouted "they're all men!"

Not sure who she was but I'll never forget her

what r ur opinions on youth liberation?

hoping I understood the question as it is quite general

I think the nuclear (and hetero-patriarchal) family model is fundamentally limiting for all people involved, especially women and youth - meaning children and adolescents (especially girls, once again).

The power that parents have over their children is deeply detrimental to their freedom and development. Violence against children is still used as an educational method, a widely accepted one, and lots of parents still consider their kids as property or, in the best case scenario, an extension of themselves. Getting out of abusive households is practically impossible, especially when economic means are lacking (and these are often the most critical situations).

In the past, I have advocated for practical measures (many of which were actually adopted in my hometown) in order to help young people gain autonomy and freedom, one of these was keeping high schools open during the afternoon (which isn't common in my country) with both organized and self-managed activities (tutoring, study rooms, psychological counsel, book exchange) in order to give kids in difficult situations a safe place for a few hours and also seek the counsel of people who could help them.

I was raised in an extremely liberal manner, my parents always treated me with respect and they managed to make me understand my responsibilities throughout life by talking to me in an age appropriate manner but never asserting their authority as adults, just as more experienced people. I'm really grateful but I realize that it's unrealistic to expect that all parents raise their kids well (despite it being their responsibility), which is why I talked about nuclear family in the beginning, I believe that true freedom can only be achieved by community.

how I look at the male who just confidently said something on a topic I know more than him about knowing I'm about to girl-splain it to him and get called a "cold bitch" after approx. 7 minutes

Stop forgetting that being a woman is not a monolithic ensemble of patriarchal stereotypes.

So disheartening that in 2025 we still have to remind people, young people, that women are people.

"I'm not a woman, I'm just a person"

Women are people, being a woman is being a person, we are not an alien or some kind of strange invention. Women are people, being a woman is being a person.

crazy how when I was a kid my classmates would ask if my mom was a boy because she had a buzzcut and now young leftists ask her for pronouns constantly 💀💀 (and she's not even androgynous, just a woman with short hair and no makeup)

also crazy how she's been telling people "women can have short hair, you know" for the past 40 years and people without fail look at her as if she was absolutely deranged

imagine going from being called "mean man hating lesbian" in your 20s to "mean transphobic old woman" in your 60s

The concept of gender affirming haircuts is crazy

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

We're not making it out of the patriarchy

I'm painting some of my jackets, design suggestions warmly encouraged (especially women/feminism related)!!!!!!!

I am once again asking for The Feminists in My Phone's blessing for my exam today
