Feminists have never treated men the way mysoginists treat women, so yeah, I think this was abundantly clear.
Hello there! Dear tumblr user, did you know that "men as a class hold privilege and power over women" and "men are human beings who deserve basic decency" are two stances that can coexist :)
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
Bring back women learning self-defense as an anti-fascism movement
Just saw the most frustrating post about "bringing back red lipstick as an anti-fascism movement" - the male CEOs of every major cosmetics company would LOVE that. You wouldn't be sticking it to any fascists by conforming to sexist beauty standards. Save your money, save your time, and fight fascism by, you know, standing up to fascist leaders and policies. Don't buy lipstick.
We're not making it out of the patriarchy
What 5 years of left wing mayor did to my hometown before the right came along and made it a wanna-be-american automobile hellscape again
How I’m tryna live quite frankly
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.
being an overall skinny woman with some muscle on your arms condemns you to descend into hell whenever you have to buy a blouse/shirt
because beauty standards and shit
and when you're equally cold they hit you with the: "oh my god don't be a bitch"
when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether
men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day
I love being in a women-only fighting class but kinda miss being able to kick men when I was in a mixed one :(
