I'm surprised that she didn't mention this, but it's not only the men in the affected zone of the conflict who take advantage of these women, it's the men who are working for the very charitable humanitarian agencies she's referring to that send people in to the zone of conflict in order to "help." multiple men who work for charities that went into Haiti after the earthquake were caught routinely refusing to give women the food and water that was meant to be freely provided unless they exchanged sexual favors for it. this also happened to mothers who were forced to let themselves be raped not only for their survival but bc the men in question were withholding these resources from their babies as well.

haiti is not the only place this has happened by a long shot, just one particular example that is at the forefront of my mind. the "helpers" can't be trusted either when they're men.

Its also near impossible to solve, because if your answer is to just send female aid workers, well then you're putting those women in danger of being raped and murdered by the men they were sent to help.

I guess you could set up two different systems, where men give out resources to men and boys, while women give out resources to women and girls but from within a guarded compound?

i will never support anyone that publicly bashed amber heard. i stopped supporting a lot of creators and lost a lot of friends. i refuse to ever support those creators or befriend those people again. i'll never forgive those people for how they made me feel as a dv victim fresh out of the relationship. that misogynistic hate campaign impacted real women and i do believe anybody that took part in that should feel immense shame.

[icedoatmilkmatcha-deactivated20]

i'm sorry, i'm dead serious when i say anybody that took part in this should feel immense shame for the rest of their lives and go donate to your local domestic violence shelter or campaign. the outcome of this trial caused women to pull their cases against their abusers, recant statements, stay with their abusers, question themselves and their stories. this was a devastating blow to feminism, especially after me too.

JESSICA CHOU Has A YouTube Channel Teaching Women About Basic Vehicle Maintenance

This is quite an interesting YouTube channel concept, and it shows that … Asian chicks kick ass! JESSICA CHOU is a young Asian American woman who has a YouTube channel which basically teaches other girls and women about how to fix their car.

“I think we don’t see as many female mechanics because the industry is still so heavily dominated by men. When we think of a mechanic, we think of men. When we see ads or posters of mechanics, we see men. When we see shows about cars, we see men. It will take a long time to change all of this, but in the 10 short months that I’ve been on this journey, I’ve met so many incredible people who are out to change the game.”

[redsatinsheets]

male mechanics are known to overprice and add on unnecessary services to female patrons because they assume they dont know shit about cars. go jessica!!!

[k-yers]

As a female mechanic, this makes me so happy! I was the only female in my entire shop, so please more ladies get into mechanics. Yay Jessica!! :D

[fematrix]

men will literally wake up one day, open a "radfem" blog, then start to post shit like this

nothing says female totalitarianism like openly supporting a rapist just because you don't like the "illegal invaders"

JK Rowling is amazing because six years ago she deliberately torpedoed her reputation, she knew full well that what she would day would get her cancelled and she went for it anyway. And her charities are just as generous, her taxes are proportional to her income, she’s writing at the top of her form and in short seems to be a wonderfully balanced and grounded woman. I’m not a fan of all her twitter tweets but who’s perfect?

The hatedom paints her as hysterical, shrill, vicious and cruel, physically nasty and the list goes on. And it’s all a lie. Her art is dragged through slime and she keeps writing.

It makes me think of her early fame and the rest of Pottermania, like she must have been surrounded by lackeys and ass kissers and at some point she knew, this is all temporary. They’ll be cheering for my execution tomorrow if the winds change. And she was right.

She’s nothing short of heroic and I love her.

The worst thing a woman can be is * checks notes* aware of constitutional rights and protections and willing to give that information to people being racially profiled and detained.

"Im a random lady demanding to see an arrest warrant for someone idk" yeah it's almost as if. Making sure cops respect the law benefits us all. Or something.

Maybe if cops didn’t love to break the law so much (by using to their advantage the fact that the average person doesn't know all their rights/every law) then random women wouldn't have to step in 💀

"The biggest danger to the western world is a white woman" Cry more.

The way that white women are both worshipped and vilified by the alt-right needs to be studied in a lab. White women who are complacent to their ideology are glorified as sacred objects, but any who step out of line and ‘betray’ them by challenging patriarchy, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, ect. they’re branded Liberal White Women and blamed for the Downfall of Western Civilization.

And speaking of Sophia Tolstoy, her diaries are just so depressing. 

“I am to gratify his pleasure and nurse his child, I am a piece of household furniture, I am a woman. I try to suppress all human feelings. When the machine is working properly it heats the milk, knits a blanket, makes little requests and bustles about trying not to think […].“

She wrote this when she was 19, one year into her marriage to Leo and as she was pregnant with the first of his 13 children.

A few years later, when she was 25 or so:

“I am so often alone with my thoughts that the need to write in my diary comes quite naturally … Now I am well again and not pregnant—it terrifies me how often I have been in that condition. He said that for him being young meant “I can achieve anything”. For me […] reason tells me that there is nothing I either want or can do beyond nursing, eating, drinking, sleeping, and loving and caring for my husband and babies, all of which I know is happiness of a kind, but why do I feel so woeful all the time, and weep as I did yesterday? I am writing this now with the pleasantly exciting sense that nobody will ever read it, so I can be quite frank with myself […].“

During her 12th pregnancy she wrote about taking scalding baths and jumping from high pieces of furniture to try and miscarry.  And at one point while reading her husband’s diary (which he told her to read) she found the sentence “There is no such thing as love, only the physical need for intercourse and the practical need for a life companion.” In her own diary she wrote “They ebb and flow like waves, these times when I realise how lonely I am and want only to cry…”

A few years before her husband’s death, she published a cycle of prose poems titled “Groans”, under the pseudonym “A Tired Woman”.

the most depressing quote from her diaries:

“I have served a genius for almost forty years. Hundreds of times I have felt my intellectual energy stir within me and all sorts of desires - a longing for education, a love of music and the arts… And time and again I have crushed and smothered these longings… Everyone asks, “But why should a worthless woman like you need an intellectual or artistic life?” To this question I can only reply: “I don’t know, but eternally suppressing it to serve a genius is a great misfortune.”

You'll never convince me that men hate femininity or masculinity in women. Men hate women, they will hate you if you obey them and they will hate you if you disobey them. People want to believe that women's behavior makes men treat them better or worse because they believe that women are responsible for what men do 😗

pearl seems like she has some kind of addiction to public humiliation at this point, conservative women don’t even like her, who is her audience besides those hate watching? it’s incredibly pathetic, i had no idea she was attempting to do anything besides making content talking down to onlyfans models (which is just content produced to make stupid people feel better about themselves by watching other stupid people mocked)

“The fretting over what it takes to be a good man continues, which leads me to another observation: If you are holding onto the notion that being a good man has to be distinctive from being a good woman — that there are positive traits distinctive to men — you probably are not searching for a positive masculinity but trying to put a positive spin on male dominance.”

You are not a feminist is you are a prolifer/forced birther. I’m so sick of these people pretending to be feminists while hating women enough to think that women should be forced into giving birth against their will, as if that isn’t literally torture.
