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
Blue!
I too want to be friends with all the feminists in my phone, dms are always open :)))
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
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
helloooo
just download tumblr again and saw a couple asks wondering where I was (thanks!!!)
a lot of things have been happening lately, mainly I'm busy writing my dissertation bc I'm about to graduate and my advisor told me she's going to be abroad for like a month so we have to cram a lot of the work now 😭😭 I'm having a lot of fun with that tho and have no stress university-wise
BUT ALSO next year I'm moving to another country to continue my studies and looking for a flat is absolutely draining me (the lack of dishwashers.......)
also, originally I took this kinda long hiatus from the blog bc I was organising some events and demonstration at my university, mainly feminism-related (maybe I'll write another post on that as well :))) ) it all went very well and I'm very proud
so yeah been doing lots of stuff but I admit I missed my radical feminist corner of this website 🫶🏻🫶🏻
what have you all been up to lately?????
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!!!!"
I've been having the flu on and off for a month now
Being sick for anything longer than three days is unreasonable. Like okay, I get it, let's fucking wrap it up here
OR people who don't think their voices deserve to be heard, or that feel like the political system is inaccessible to them.
I can't count how many times I've heard this from underprivileged women and girls.
People who ‘don’t do politics’ are so privileged. I said what I said.
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.
bought an e-cig today and feel like a fucking child yeah of course stupid fucking lungs you're not strong enough for real tobacco anymore ohh poor you let me get your pacifier
