I LOVE THIS SO MUCHHUHIU MY CUTIE
I NEVER DIE
OH MY GODD this is so stunning
woah reverse au !?!?! (crossing fingers that someone didn't do this before me)
Okay... I'm probably a little bit wrong in my wording and this is gonna be reblogged or something, but what I'm trying to say is that you can BE punk and still not have the stereotypical punk style. Punk is about (not completely) having different beliefs, not fitting in, all that stuff. So isn't it weird that in this punk community, people are still limiting themselves, and others, to a certain style?? Wear that cute little pink skirt you love in a group of people who absolutely despise pink and despise skirts, and that's the punkest thing you could do. Do whatever the fuck you want as long as you're staying true to yourself
Right?? And grown adults have no clue about the absolute HORRORS indigenous women, or just any indigenous person faces today. And nobody cares to learn either. We're so busy comparing ourselves to the US and patting ourselves on the back for being "progressive" that we don't know and don't even care to learn about our own issues.c The reserves are so insanely unsafe and isolated people are forced to HITCH HIKE to escape to Vancouver (which is STILL unsafe) or literally any city. Vancouver, downtown is a hell hole.
I think it's horrific how long we wait to tell kids about their country's bad history. Like you spend your whole life thinking you live in the best country in the whole wide world until high school when they tell you the government actually eradicated an entire culture a couple hundred years ago. Like isn't that insane? No wonder there's so many people who think it didn't happen.
sick of everything
THISS OH MY GOD. Such a common trope in dystopian literature where the government pins it on whatever random person they can find if they can't catch the true 'criminal'.
I believe in Luigi Mangione.
I believe in the shooter who killed that CEO.
I do not believe they are the same person.
I believe the NYPD is lying to us and putting it on an innocent man to prove a point.
Do not let that point be proven.
?? I want it to be known that my account is a safe space for trans people still. What's your point?
Women are instilled from an early age with a deep shame regarding our female anatomy.
We're told our genitals smell like fish, that "roast beef curtains," are hilarious and a sign that a woman is a sl*t, that our natural pubic hair is offensive. That periods are disgusting and shameful, and should be kept secret. We aren't even properly taught about our own anatomy- a lot of women don't know until later in life that the vulva and vagina are separate, and that the urethra is not the same opening as the vaginal opening.
There's hardly any research into female-specific medical conditions. Nearly 10% (1 in 10) women are afflicted with endometriosis, yet there's literally no research on what causes it. PCOS is also under-researched. It's all shoved under the rug, too stigmatised to be discussed.
While boys can talk freely about their dick and balls, the words "vagina" or "vulva," are still treated like a humiliating joke at best, and a vulgar obscenity at worst.
Men talk with pride about their genitals. To "grow a set" = to start acting tough and assertive. To "have big balls" = to be brave. "Big dick energy" = to be a charismatic "alpha" that commands attention.
Meanwhile, there are no positive cultural connotations regarding the vulva/vagina. Even "serving cunt" is used as a tongue-in-cheek memetic joke.
I think it's very predatory that shame, disgust and aversion about having a vagina/vulva is marketed as a sign that a girl/woman is dysphoric. That it should just be censored and called a "front hole" or a "bonus hole," to avoid the stigma. It's a cultural by-product of the crushing misogyny imbedded into society.
MOST women grow up feeling shame about having a vulva/vagina, and have to put conscious effort into unlearning that shame.
