Perhaps I Should Journal

It's funny bc I'm white but I've never turned to the KKK bc black people don't center me in their activism

I couldn't have said it better myself.

"thanks to men for raping this other woman instead of me 🤩🤩"

why is this such a common opinion?

why is "men will be unable to not rape unless they can buy access to a woman's body" something people just say without realising how insane that sounds

Paola Cortellesi and Emanuela Fanelli in "There's still tomorrow"/"C'è ancora domani" (2023)

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

do this thing !!!!!!

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

This was fun to make actually :]

Why is "patriarchy affects men too" always about men feeling ashamed of crying and never about gay (or "effeminate") teenage boys being subject to violence and corrective therapy by their families?

I'm all in favour of discussing how conforming to gender roles is a core belief of patriarchal ideology and gender non-conforming people (men too) are subjected to patriarchal violence.

But strangely "feminism is for everybody" is always about watering down feminist issues.

thinking back on my childhood when I thought that my country liberated itself from fascism so no way they could come back again without a civil war

Thinking back on my childhood when I thought racism was over, Nazis no longer existed, cops were good, and America was the land of the free.

This is an absolutely insane take for a feminist.

Women stuck in abusive and violent marriages (which are really common in countries where women rights are practically non-existent, which, coincidentally, are the countries with higher immigration rates) have a much easier time leaving these situations if they're in western countries.

Daughters of undocumented immigrants deserve to live in countries where getting an education is not illegal.

Daughters and sons of undocumented immigrants deserve to live in countries where they won't get killed, raped and imprisoned if they're gay.

I don't care how they got here, if our half-assed western democracies can save even just one woman, that's all that matters.

Gonna be honest I support deporting illegal immigrants

for reparation, you know

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

Women's day coming up can't wait to answer "I'll be happy when you stop killing us" to all men who tell me "happy women's day!!!!"
