Never let anyone tell you thinking is bad. Critical thinking is essential. Never blindly follow authority; that’s how the worst atrocities in the world were committed. You have a right to ask questions, and if someone tries to convince you you don’t, that’s a serious red flag If your beliefs are well founded, then asking questions and getting answers should reaffirm them, not threaten them. If all it takes to topple your belief system is actually sitting down and thinking about what is being said, then maybe those aren’t really your beliefs. You need to be able to ask questions

They sound exactly like my mum gushing 'my hero!' at my dad for that one time he brought in the washing because it was raining and my mum wasnt at home.

In fact that was so worthy of note that she told all her friends - I'm serious btw - and they all agreed he was wonderful. Jesus fucking christ.

My dad isn't a 'feminist ally' - he's a garden variety arsehole who made me and my brothers childhood absolutely miserable. He's the reason for my hypervigilance. Hes treated my mum like crap for most of their marriage. He's a selfish sexist bully.

I don't believe women who gush about how wonderful their bf/husbands are because I've been hearing that from het partnered women for my whole life about the most common trash men. Women lie about how Their men treat them because they can't face the reality of how much they've given for so little in return and also because they are comparing their useless slugs to the much worse men their friends/family are married to.

Honestly I do not believe them for a single second but Hot Take : even if their jakey was 100% the most perfect dude to ever breath they should still stfu about it. Like stop going on a website full of young girls telling them that they too can get the perfect husband if they just give men a chance. Stop that.

apparently it’s butch appreciation day so happy day to female homosexuals only

Ignorance is bliss isn’t it

Name top 5 radical feminist concepts OP

i wish i could just confidently lie like this what a move. when people disagree with me i’m just gonna start lying like this it’s so good

We have studies proving that when women compete in “brain activities” against other women they do better.

We also know we can prime women to perform worse at brain games just by telling them they’ll be measured against men, or that women “typically don’t do as well” even if it’s not true.

Because all women and girls live in sexist societies worldwide, one of the ways we get around this is creating certain learning environments and competitions that are still just for women/girls.

This is a common occurrence, and it’s not just because feminists think women are inherently dumb.

When I was a kid I got placed into a GEM club: Girls in Engineering and Mathematics. We got to work with CAD software, we got to sit in and work construction equipment, we got to visit factories around our school. This was a program only open to girls because it’s girls that don’t volunteer for these experiences in the presence of boys, because boys mock them.

My teacher didn’t apply for grant funding for these programs because she thought girls were stupid.

She did it because she thought her girls were smart, and she wanted us to have an opportunity to expand our ideas of what a girl could be and do away from the mockery of our male classmates.

I looked this up randomly wondering the farthest distance someone had fallen and survived and of course it was a Serbian

Vulović's physicians concluded that her history of low blood pressure caused her to pass out quickly after the cabin depressurized and kept her heart from bursting on impact.[7] Vulović said that she was aware of her low blood pressure before applying to become a flight attendant and knew that it would result in her failing her medical examination, but she drank an excessive amount of coffee beforehand and was accepted.[3]

Finally a good one for hypotensive people, your heart doesn't explode when the plane falls.

(link to Wiki)

"She made an almost complete recovery but continued to walk with a limp. Vulović had no memory of the incident and had no qualms about flying in the aftermath of the crash. Despite her willingness to resume work as a flight attendant, Jat Airways (JAT) gave her a desk job negotiating freight contracts, feeling her presence on flights would attract too much publicity."

cowards, the lot of them

also, op was right

"Vulović attributed her recovery to her "Serbian stubbornness" and "a childhood diet that included chocolate, spinach, and fish oil"."

anyway I love things like having independence, being intelligent, taking pride in my skills, not feigning incompetence, referring to myself as a woman instead of a girl, aging unapologetically, having pores, stretch marks, grey hairs, wrinkles and body fat, listening to my body's needs, eating as much as I need to satisfy my hunger, being bare-faced, wearing comfortable clothes, etcetera

Controversial take but if you wrote a novel about two women falling in love and you changed one of them into a man you would have the most enormous smash hit of a romance book on your hands

Maybe because I met like 15 butch lesbians who are the real life equivalent of the ideal male romance lead and I have yet to meet a man who fits the archetype.

Ladies do you want a man who reads you classical novels when you can’t sleep? Bakes cakes, knits sweaters and is able to remodel your bathroom? Good with animals, kids and has a career they’re passionate about? Handsome but not vain? Sweet, sensitive but charmingly rough around the edges? A good conversationalist? Well that’s not a man, that’s my friend Jennifer

why did it have to be gender that became the new rebellious thing. it’s always been cool to be gender non-conforming. it’s always been a big fuck you to the establishment. but it has been warped into like this meaningless performance. men painting their nails and insisting that somehow makes them non-male. women going out in corsets & fishnets with a he/him pronoun pin on. and yet not many people actually addressing gendered issues aka literal misogyny. like I never really see any of those people talking about what’s happening to women in afghanistan. where are the conversations about fgm and child brides and pimped women and abusive marriages and there not being enough female representation in legislation. people just post a blue & pink flag on their instagram story and that’s their bad ass activism for the day. like please. there’s not even any talk about gay rights anymore! the people who talk the most about being gay aren’t even gay. it’s a fun and cute little performance for them. a little hehe haha look at me being naughty in the eyes of polite society or whatever. like give me a fucking break.

Judith butler fans when a girl is sold as a child bride to an older man: have you considered that your perception of attractiveness is shaped by the cisheteropatriarchy? And your criticism of your own culture is shaped by western colonialism? What do you mean you're 'scared of a man' do you not realise sex literally doesn't exist why don't you just start performing masculinity then you'll be fine

I mean, who are you to deny this girl her agency? Have you considered that she's probably proud to be sacrificing for her family's standing in the community, and to be gaining the moral authority of wife and mother? That her actions actually reveal the contingency of so-called masculine power by the anxiety that her actions produce on people like yourself in the neo imperial core, which premises its military-industrial power on racialized paternalism, and where people in feminine roles in their own society can assume a legitimate masculine role through the enactment of that paternalism by involvement with brown and Black bodies? Ever thought of that, huh?

girl dinner (big fucking plate of carbs and protein) girl math (complex analysis) girl career (trades and engineering and politics and compsci) girl sports (dirtbikes and football and weightlifting) girl instruments (drums and bass guitar and electric) girl personality (loud and opinionated and annoying and brash)

I wish I was a female tiger because then if I was talking to someone and I was getting off topic I could say “but I tigress,” and then kill and eat them because I am a tiger

When I play sims, I exclusively have lesbian relationships and female daughters. I don’t find men or boys compelling.
