If you’re having trouble with knowing what’s truly empowering for women just ask yourself these questions.
- Does this benefit men in any way?
- Is it something that’s forced onto women by the patriarchy?
- Are you confusing being empowered with personal enjoyment?
- Does this give women any real social, economic, political power as a class?
- Does this endanger a woman’s safety, mental health, and or comfort?
- Does it challenge the patriarchy?
Just seen this come across my insta….. do they really think this is some sort of gotcha??
No bestie that’s not a woman, because a woman is a female HUMAN, that is however a female CHICKEN which makes it a hen… different kind of egg but it’s nice knowing that she can at least identify a female even if she can’t identify a woman 🤷♀️
Or maybe she’s doing a bit based on Diogenes’ featherless biped/behold a man thing? Or is that giving her too much credit?
a thing that really shook me was the study where women performed worse in a math test when they were wearing a swimsuit vs a sweater whereas for men there was no difference. objectification literally diminishes your brain capacity. i can't help but wonder what we could be in a truly liberated society because there's no way that how we are raised to be objectified and to even self objectify hasn't thoroughly poisoned our brains to always underperform even in normal clothes.
men are like, nooo don’t recognize that you have similar struggles to all kinds of women, you’re so easy to manipulate when ur isolated aha
if you take sex away as a determinate to womanhood or manhood, you’re only left with gender norms to define these categories by, which is regressive and alienating to many if not most people
If you define womanhood and manhood on sex alone, every individual is free to behave and look how they wish without it standing in contrast to their status as a man or woman, which how you deconstruct gender stereotypes
kids these days are like “i need chat gpt to write an essay that would normally take 12 hours in 2” but back in my day i did that all the time by using a little technique called “writing some absolute bullshit.” and yet i still walked away with a better essay and more critical thinking skills than i would get if i used chatgpt. return to tradition: write a bad essay that you started on the day it was due, but write it yourself.
