as a bengali girl one of the biggest reasons i used to think i was "nonbinary" was bc i was told it was normal to have an incongruence w/ womanhood bc of my race... who fed me this lie
why is womanhood based on a woman's proximity to whiteness?? why are women of color deemed less female for the not fitting standards made against us? and why is the solution to that to push us into some third gender instead of just abolishing gender itself?????
has anyone else experienced something similar??
in barbieland, where everything was perfect for women, men were safe. they didn't suffer, they took full part in society, they just weren't the "main characters". but when Barbieland was captured by men, women were instantly in danger. they began to be held for service and objectified.
the authors conveyed the essence very well and clearly, which not everyone understood
and women who support christianity, remember that when you are being spoken to by a man, BE QUIET. and submit to what he says, even if you barely know him. you are not to speak.
women who support islam! I have a question for you: have you ever asked what does your father, brother or other male relatives think about islam? go ask them and respect their answers and adopt these opinions as yours. I think the least you could do is to respect your male relatives like islam teaches us.
ppl who say stuff like this have never interacted with a terf because literally most of them say “womanhood isn’t a feeling. it’s an adult human female” and dislike gender stereotypes of “woman=gentle feminine dress”, something that many trans women seem to correlate “feeling like a woman” with.
they reduce women to their biology would make sense if terfs said something along the lines of “women are made to give birth and menstruate”. but… they don’t. they are not being defined by their uterus. they say a woman is an adult human female. that’s it. you’re gonna say googles reducing women to their biology because “woman is a female adult human” ??
like no offense, i used to use that argument too… but i was also 15 so like 😭
“it’s another culture, be respectful” idgaf 💀 if it’s oppressive to women, it’s a problem, i don’t care if it’s ur customs. girls having to cover themselves, not being allowed to go to school, being violated, not being allowed to be heard, literally being all around disrespected but you expect me to just be cool about it because “it’s culture”.
women do not deserve to be treated as lesser than in the name of anything. idc if it’s your religion, i don’t care if it’s tradition, it’s a bunch of bullshit.
I'm making flyers to give out and posters to put up around my community. I'm trying to create a community of woymn to educate, and so that other womyn in my area will have other womyns support. After that, I'd like to expand outside my area, and grow.
Here's a draft of the flyer design.
Any advice on the design or how to organise this community is greatly appreciated!
I know drag queens are supposed to be in good fun and all but the mockery exhibited by them is actually disgusting. Posing as a stereotypical Russian hooker? It’s literally just a mockery of women who are being trafficked in foreign countries. People forget that Gay men can be just as misogynistic as straight men and it’s a huge issue.
DO ITTTTT
pondering making a studyblr
The reason why racism is portrayed to be a much bigger problem than misogyny is because men are affected by racism.
Society doesn’t take any problems seriously until a man is directly being affected by them too.
