if you are going to need some kind of sedative for 4th of july fireworks for your pets NOW IS THE TIME TO SCHEDULE THOSE APPOINTMENTS TO ASK FOR THEM
NOT WHEN ITS 2 DAYS AWAY
I feel like to really get this circulating as it should, we need it superimposed over the picture of the turkey going in the fridge. (I can't do it I'm on my phone.)
With the 250th anniversary it's likely to be especially bad this year!
oh ok I'll make sure to remember that 👍
Noone can actually say anything worse about them than they just say themselves.
a lot of women think they’re crazy but really they just forgot the word for anger
how do I dm this to Olivia Rodrigo?
men like to call us crazy after they made us this way as a way to excuse and distance themselves from their shitty behaviour PASS IT ON
When one woman puts her experiences into words, another woman who has kept silent, afraid of what others will think, can find validation. And when the second woman says aloud, ‘yes, that was my experience too,’ the first woman loses some of her fear.
- Carol Christ
And this is exactly why men will do anything to stop us from being able to speak, to silence us, to prevent us from using accurate language, to make sure we're never alone together as women, that we're never talking to another woman unsupervised without a male there to watch over us and make sure we're not 'misbehaving'
"Not my country not my problem!"
But what if it was your country ?
What if you couldn't go to school past sixth grade?
What if you were sold and marries off to an old man at the age of 12?
What if you couldn't even speak in public because people find your voice "sexual"?
What if you couldn't go to the doctors for matters that were very private without a man accompanying you?
What if you had to cover your entire body and face by law?
SPEAK UP FOR THE WOMEN IN AFGANISTAN. Use your voice for those who cannot.
margaret atwood was right
The rest of the article is worse, including pearls of wisdom such as:
“my ob-gyn advised me to schedule an induced labor, which helps to kick-start contractions … That gave me about five days to obsess over my beauty routine and what to pack in my hospital bag. And obsess I did. First matter of business: book a manicure and pedicure. If you have a scheduled birth like I did, a prehospital mani/pedi is important on so many levels. My freshly painted nails helped me feel put-together and polished”
“If you’re not having a scheduled birth, make sure your nails are always done and keep your preferred polish in your hospital bag in case you need a quick touch-up.” (because nail polish fumes are great for a newborn baby, right?)
“I did a quick blow-dry and started to feel light cramps in my stomach. I had a feeling the contractions were about to start, but I powered through and did my makeup the same way I do it every day.”
“After getting an epidural, I wasn’t really thinking about my beauty routine anymore.” GEE, I WONDER WHY
This is so appalling why are women forced to do this like you’re going to shit yrself in front of a room full of medical professionals your entire body is going to be bruised from pushing a human out of your vagina. Why must we be pressured to perform femininity during labor. No one cares about your face everyone is paying way more attention to your vulva, which is stretching to accommodate at least six pounds of person sliding out of your uterus…!
Who broke these women
but this is innate :) there’s no outside pressure on women to be beautiful no matter what :) it’s her choice :) :) :) if it makes her feel good it’s empowering :)) i’ve given thousands of dollars to sephora
this is fucking terrifying to me. you’re giving birth! how pretty you look doesn’t matter! women shit themselves giving birth, your doctors aren’t gonna care that you don’t have eyeliner on while pushing an infant out ur vagina omg
Not to mention this is dangerous. You’re not supposed to wear makeup or dark nail polish because they wont be able to check your vitals correctly. The oxygen readers dont work with dark nails. The doctors wont be able to see if you’re turning blue if you got foundation caked on covering it. You arent allowed to wear makeup or have dark nails for any surgery, why the fuck is it allowed during labor?
Isn't it interesting how every single one of my friends' boyfriends/husbands has a rare untreatable combination of ADHD, anxiety, autism, and trauma which completely excuse and explain all of his shitty abusive behaviors while simultaneously justifying his refusal to do his own chores?? And isn't it fascinating that this pernicious epidemic of severe learning disabilities has completely escaped the purview of the medical profession, leaving speculative diagnosis entirely up to the careful conscientious examination of Dr. Girlfriend?
It’s crazy how low self-worth fucks with peoples lives
“What will I be if I don’t graduate/don’t get a promotion/don’t get my shit together/don’t make this relationship work?” You would be a perfectly normal human being who is inherently valuable and who possesses many talents and good traits
“What if I fail even when I tried my very best?” The world keeps turning and you will find many other things you will succeed at.

-> Did the following screenshot make you laugh?
Do YOU want to be educated, but don't know where to start? Or maybe you are already very educated and you just want someone to talk to? This is the space for you!
We set a book to read together and get together at least 1-2 times a month to discuss our thoughts and increase connection within the community. There's also a general chat if you just want to talk about the book you're currently reading.
If you're someone who feels that they are not super well read, or if you fall behind on readings, do not be afraid to jump into the voice chats to listen in! Shame keeps us ignorant, it is with curiosity that we can grow. Remember that you can always re-read, read later, and ask questions! :)

Saw the documentary Victim/Suspect. I hope every police officer who's ever coerced a rape victim into saying she lied about it kills themselves.
Queer theory is so funny to me as African because I'll see all these people in the western countries trying to assign meanings to clothes and to pronouns and to parts of their personalities, they'll believe that changing their clothes or their pronouns or their language or their behavior will exempt them from misogyny. And while I understand that it is a condition of the System to keep us all separated, I can't help but bristle at the racism behind this all.
If any of these liberals had bothered to read, they would know that there exists many many communities indigenous to Africa whose languages don't have gendered pronouns, where clothing rules are different. Where men and women dressed the same, where the rules of nudity are different. Where men are effeminate. And in most, if not all of these communities, misogyny will still be rampant.
My community used to allow female to female marriages but all those women were still circumcised. My language does not have "she" or "he" but that did not save any of us from misogyny. My friend's community doesn't even have gendered slurs and she still had to run away when she was 11 so that she wouldn't be circumcised. There is no solution other than uprooting the whole system. Creating more categories does nothing.
So,
Saying women experience misogyny from birth is TERF rhetoric
Being a lesbian who has never had sex with a man is TERFy
Wanting female only bathrooms, changing rooms, and gyms is TERFy
Saying abortion is a female issue and males shouldn't get to legislate it is TERF rhetoric
Feminine females must be TERFs because they're too gender conforming
Masculine females must be TERFs because they're not gender conforming enough
Believing women and children who get raped is TERFy
Only TERFs advocate for the acknowledgement and eradication of sex based oppression
Refusing to have sex with males is TERFy
Saying that men who beat women and get off on it are abusers is TERF rhetoric
What about any of this is supposed to make TERF seem like a bad thing for women?
Unpopular opinion but women shouldn’t have to write 6 paragraph text posts to defend their right to refuse sex with anyone for any reason. Anyone who disagrees with that statement is a rapist or a rape apologist. End of story.

The medical neglect of mental health
Most people taking antidepressants never had proper tests, or even any tests done to try to rule out nutrient deficiencies. Nutrition is often not considered in treatment of depression and anxiety. People deficient in basic nutrients like magnesium, vitamin d, b12, or iron are put on antidepressants for years and even decades. It is somewhere between unlikely and absolutely impossible that their mental health will ever meaningfully improve without the nutrient deficiency or deficiencies addressed. Their medical needs are neglected. It is a tragedy. I am not arguing this in a "natural is good" way. I hate that kind of thing. It is just the fact that your body and brain cannot function properly without the basic nutrients it needs. Introducing antidepressants before addressing nutrition is completely backwards and basically insanity.
