One Time My University Invited A Motivational Speaker And He Started By Talking About Historical Figures

do this thing !!!!!!

I made a "which mutual am I" thing so here you go💥💥💥

This was fun to make actually :]

Just a heads up: this is not true.

While homosexuals and gender non conforming people were persecuted by nazis, the reason Hirschfeld's institute was shut down was that he was Jewish and promoted the idea that homosexuality was not an illness, which was considered "jewish science".

It is important to remember the many victims of the Holocaust and nazism but it is also important to not bend history in order to fit a narrative.

And I'll say it again: homosexuals and gender non conforming people went through horrible things and it's important to share actual sources on that instead.

my working theory when reading elon musk news is that he watched house of cards and didn't understand who the bad guy was

This mentality is really telling of the fact that you haven't done any politics or activism in real life.

I've been sitting with party representatives, union representatives and fellow members of movements I belong(ed) to for almost 10 years at this point.

Not a single one of these spaces didn't cater to males.

Engage in some politics outside of tumblr and/or niche organisations, I grant you your opinion will flip in 10 seconds max.

Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline

Forever thanks to my parents for continuously shitting on all the helpless-princess-saved-by-prince and hypersexualised-japanese-girls-do-things cartoons throughout all my childhood 🙏🏻

Did your parents forbid you from watching certain cartoons? 

In Italy, it's really common for clubs (like discos) to do free entry for women, which is clearly a marketing tactic to get more disgusting males to buy a ticket because they're going to find girls there.

Is this common in other countries as well? Do young people talk about it? Here it's a huge MRA argument for "women's privilege" 🙄

honestly my study motivation is being able to maximise the number of men I can be condescending to

(jokes aside, I love explaining things to people who are interested - strangely, it's almost always women)

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart

like ok we can all solve differential equations but can you do that while being a decent person? mm yeah didn't think so

remember when as kids my male cousins would make fun of me for growing body hair before them and would get offended when I told them they were just jealous

real!!

my mom works in academia while my dad was (he's retired now) a freelancer, so when they had me, he started working way less to take care of me/the house and when I'd tell my classmates (and teachers!) they always reacted like it was the most insane thing

one time in middle school a girl straight up told me that women should be just be housewives "because it's natural"

I think of her sometimes, I hope she realised that she wasn't born with a broom in her hand, just like her brother wasn't

What's the context behind your profile picture? :)

So glad you asked!!

It's by italian photoreporter Tino Petrelli, it was taken around the 25th of April 1945 in Milan, after antifascist rebel groups liberated Italy.

After the liberation, these groups surrendered their weapons to the Allies as part of an agreement, which is what the women in the picture are doing (although the specific picture may be staged).

One of them is Anna Maria Leone, 17 at the time, who was part of the "Women's defense group", after the war she worked as an actress and writer and was active in the feminist movement. It's not clear who the other two women are.
