Yeah well perhaps they should have figured out what a border is first. Because their parents broke the law by Crossing ours and better than spend the time in these facilities than a prison with grown adults who made the human traffickers not even their parents

Actually, let me enlighten you.

These people in detention have not committed a crime. - I don’t mean that in a moral or a figurative sense. I mean literally. It is NOT a crime to ask for asylum. - These people didn’t jump a fence, they didn’t sneak into the backyard. They are knocking on the front door and saying “People are trying to kill me in my home country, will you let me in?” - Now, I didn’t fall off the turnip truck. Some of these people are lying. That’s why you have a hearing. And because they might wander off, these people are held in detention until the hearing. - This hearing is NOT in a criminal court. It’s in an immigration court. Because these people have not committed a crime. - Immigration court is not like criminal court. You don’t have a right to an attorney. - So these people are waiting around, separated from their children, with no attorney, until they get a hearing. - In 2015, the median wait for an immigration hearing was 404 days. - Here’s where it gets even more twisted. If people plead guilty to asylum fraud, they get their kids back and get deported. - So these people knock on the front door, which is perfectly legal, and we take their kids, and tell them the quickest way to get the kids back is to confess to fraud. - If someone committed a crime (ie. shoplifting, armed robbery, murder) and you took their kids away to make them confess, that confession would be thrown out. - But these confessions are lawful, because this isn’t criminal court. - Because these people haven’t committed a crime. - Now some people think that if we make it so unpleasant for these people, they will stop trying to cross the border. - But the message this sends isn’t “Go Home.” The message it sends is “Sneak in.” - If they go home, they think they will be murdered. If they request asylum, they are separated from their children. - If they sneak in successfully, they’re safe. If they sneak in and get caught, they are no worse off than if they sought asylum legally. - And remember, these people haven’t committed a crime.

Legit question, I’m not trying to hate on feminists or anything. Why is it called feminist if they’re for equality?

[rockymightartsometimes]

castiel-knight-of-hell:

That’s a very good question and thank you for asking so politely. 

The word feminism was coined by Charles Fourier in 1837, a French philosopher who advocated for the emancipation of women because he believed society treated women as slaves. We weren’t allowed to vote, own anything, or work a real job. Women were ruled by their fathers/household patriarch until they married at which time they’d be under the rule of their husband. If a woman did not belong to male household she was shunned by society and had very little means to make money, most of them unsavory. You know the idiom “rule of thumb”? That comes from a running joke that started in the 1600s, and was still around in Fourier’s time, that said it was okay for a man to beat a woman with a stick as long as it wasn’t any thicker than his thumb. 

The point of the word feminist, and the feminist movement, has never been to say that women are better than men. The point is that women and things associated with women have been given a lesser place in society and we want to bring those things up to a place of equality. The focus is on the feminine because that’s what’s being pushed down. However, focusing on the feminine does not mean we’re focusing only women. Men are belittled and called “less of a man” anytime they portray a trait that is associated with femininity. If women and the feminine were equal to men and masculinity then that wouldn’t happen. Feminism is about raising up things associated with females to have an equal place in society as the things associated with males. It’s called feminism, not equalism, because the focus is on raising up not tearing down. Equalism would suggest that male things need to come down to a lower level so that female things can meet it in the middle. That’s not the point. The point is to raise up the feminine so that it’s on the same playing field that the masculine is already on. We don’t want men to lower themselves, we just want them to make room for us.
