Die unrasierte Birkenstockträgerin

Feministischer Blog. Abolitionistisch, Kopftuch-und Religionskritisch, anti-kapitalistisch Name resultiert aus einer Beleidigung, die eine Bekannte mal für ihr Engagement an den Kopf geworfen bekommen hat.

Und jetzt warte ich auf die entrüstete Kommentare, die mir eine Nähe zu Querdenkern und Schwurblern unterstellen wollen.

Dieses ständige Moralisieren, Hinein interpretieren in Dinge ist übrigens auch so etwas, was mich an der gegenwärtigen Zeit stört und mit ein Grund, warum ich mich hier zurückgezogen habe. Ich weiß noch, wie ich geschrieben habe dass mir beim Thema Corona beide Fraktionen gleichermaßen auf den Geist gehen und dann schon erste Stimmen kamen, dass Corona "verdammt real" sei. Jo, hab nie was anderes behauptet, aber dieses Schwarzweißgesehe, dieses bist du nicht 100% für mich, musst du automatisch gegen mich sein macht mich fertig. Man kann durchaus Corona ernst nehmen und sich trotzdem nicht einer Fraktion zugehörig fühlen, die so heuchelt uns falsch ist.

Und mich wundert es immer noch dass sich nicht mehr Feministinnen drüber aufregen, dass bei #metoo dauernd die "wir trennen zwischen Kunst und Künstler"-Karte gespielt wurde, jetzt aber beim Tatort Münster oder bei Babylon Berlin aber auf einmal Handlungsbedarf besteht. Den obigen Tweet habe ich übrigens geschrieben, nachdem ich mir mal sie Twitterkommentare nach einer Münster-Neuausstrahlung angesehen habe.

Nicht nur dass diese "mal hü, mal hott"-Einstellung verdammt inkonsequent ist, selbst wenn ich #allesdichtmachen gegenüber ablehnen gegenüber stehen sollte (und ich nenne hier absichtlich nicht meine Meinung dazu) ist jemand, der vergewaltigt wie so ein Polanski doch ein ganz anderes Kaliber. Und da finde ich solche Ansichten einfach ein Schlag ins Gesicht aller, die von solchen Männern missbraucht oder die bei metoo alles daran getan haben, sowas aufzudecken.

The switch from the Paris Hilton era of beauty standards to the kardashian era of beauty standards gave me whiplash. It’s so fucked up that the expectations for women’s bodies change like clothing trends, but men have literally always had the same beauty standards basically. When I was 13, women were supposed to be stick thin and have no hips, and two years later we were supposed to be “slim thick” and it literally changes like every ten years. It’s an impossible game - if you were super hot in 2006, then it was physiologically impossibly for you to be super hot in 2016 because it required different fucking bone structure. All men are ever required to do to meet current beauty standards is be kinda tall (but wasn’t Tom cruise the “sexiest man alive” at one point?) and be in shape. Always. That’s it. A man who was considered hot a thousand years ago would still be hot! But women are supposed to radically change ourselves every decade, if we want to be beautiful. Fuck that.

Flat ass jokes always baffle me. Like...having a big ass/wide hips was seen as SO unattractive when I was growing up. And now those same women who were hailed as the standard of beauty are mocked for the features that they were praised for just 10 years ago. I HATE IT

[subaruseventhsister]

And who exactly is especially vulnerable to not knowing what was happening just 10 years ago?

Preteen and teenage girls. They're the main targets.

[greenwire]

Women aren’t expected to change body types to conform to the new ideal, they’re supposed to disappear entirely and be replaced by younger women who do. Wouldn’t want girls to get the idea that life goes on after age 25.

Tips from a homeless woman about what to consider donating to homeless people if you intend to:

-socks. This is a huge thing socks get worn down SO FAST especially if you’re someone like me who lives in an area where it rains a lot and don’t have public transportation or a car. Thick and wooly ones are great.

- period supplies for women. Seriously. There have been several times where I’ve had to ball up almost an entire roll of TP to use in lieu of a pad, and I have incredibly heavy periods so it’s even more embarrassing when I realize period blood has been dripping down my thighs.

- portable phone chargers. Not all homeless people are also phone-less, especially when there are programs to give low-income/homeless people cellphones. This can be an absolute life saver, as we are constantly vulnerable and also because it’s usually our only reliable line of communication with potential employers/friends/family.

-baby powder. This goes especially for people like me to have to rely on walking everywhere. Especially as summer is hitting, it’s not uncommon to get thighs chaffed so bad that you actually develop heat blisters and sores. Baby powder greatly reduces this.

-rain gear. I’ve had to fashion rain gear out of trash bags and although it’s effective for some time, they tear easily and also aren’t easy to make actually water proof. Buying one of those cheap plastic raincoats with hoods is so so useful.

-baby wipes. A lot of us don’t have access to a shower regularly and also get incredibly dirty because we’re outside a lot. Being able to at least wipe ourselves down with baby wipes at the end of the day or if we get particularly dirty really helps with piece of mind and also feels more humanizing than not having them.

-first aid kits. This might seem obvious but most people don’t think about these as potential donations. For people who don’t have insurance or a way to get quick help, these can be life savers.

-toothbrushes and toothpaste. I see this on a lot of lists about donating to the homeless, but it’s super important. Not only is hygiene going to be a big factor in being able to get a job, but the vast majority of us have nothing resembling insurance and if we can’t take care of our teeth it can literally be a death sentence if we develop an abscess in our gums or jaw. Dental care is expensive, and so having these helps us prevent future problems.

Homeless people, like any other demographic, are not a monolith and are going to vary in terms of resources available to us, having transportation or not, having a phone or not, hell even having decent clothes or not. If anyone wants to ask me any questions feel free to ask

As there has been some fuss and misunderstanding concerning my last post, I'd like to clarify something:

I condem slut shaming in any manner. There is absolutely nothing wrong with losing your virginity at a young age or having a lot of sexual (or romantic) partners.

But on the other Hand, it simply cant be that 16 or even 14 year olds feel pressure to be late or in the end just sleep with anybody before they're running out of time. This is the opposite of a self determined sexuality. And no, Im not talking about that you just should have your first time in a relationship and so on, but just that it should happen when YOU want it with somebody you feel comfortable with and not that you feel pressured to do things you arent ready to or at the Moment dont want to.

And I also contradict the idea that their is no virgin shaming or that it is like racism against whites or Skinny shaming. One of our adminas hat experiences firsthand and there is absolutely nothing glamorous about being a virgin at 28.

I still cant get trough the denial of the mental challenge Covid 19 and the whole Lockdown is facing upon us or how badly people who have mental issues and/or existential fears are treated.

And I mean not by conspiracy theoretists. That is maybe the worst point of it all.

The same people, who (justified) critisize the denial of Covid 19 ar enow in some kind of delusion.

The same people whining about the loss of empathy or “laugh”-emoticons (which I dont want to negoitate) now tell people struggling that “the granny in concentration camps or refugees had it hard, but not you”. Some go even further and declare the whole idea, this times could be mentally challenging as idea made up totally by conspiray theorists to protest gouvernement regulations.

if you have existential fears cause your are self employed or fear loosing your job, you are portrayed as heartless who would sacrifice his own Gradnmother for profit or they impose black pedagogy on you: “So you want thousands to die instead”. Nbody wants anybody dead, but maybe we could find a solution that would fit both? Why do you even put it that way like its my fault, like I would literally go into the hospitals and unplug the cable? There are great speeches about the value of human life, but these wont help me sleep at night

There is so  much fuss about deceleration and essentialism one doesnt dare to say if you feel these times not as great chance to recover from capitalism, but rather horrible, cause the moment you´re saying it you`re branded as consumption-blinded puppet who doenst knoe how to cope with herself and how good she is having it.

Nope, I am really disappointed and disaffected concerning a lot of people. I mean from those conspiracy theorists I didnt expect anything. But from the other fraction...

[dieunrasiertebirkenstocktrgrn]

One thing I cant quite just understand is the one with feminism and spritiuality.

I get that not only the big world religions, but almost every existing spiritual or religious cult has been or is deeply patriarchal and needs to be critisized immediately.

But you know in Germany there is a saying called  “alter Wein in neuen Schläuchen” which basically means selling the old shit in a new package.

For example, when it came to gay and lesbian marriage while some were happy that LGB people were equal to heterosexuals in that way, others argued that marriage itself was an outdated institution and we should focus more on the establishing and equalizing of all sorts of families instead of just expanding the overhault.

The same goes with religion/spirituality.

Just replacing male with female godesses just wont do it. Furthermore, every right critisizm involves - at least for me- also questioning the idea of the supernatural itself and the search for answers in it.

I would even go ahead that much and say that there is no place for such things in a modern, enlightened time.

I feel if there is one topic we need to talk through is the status of bi women in the feminist community/

Recently I made a survey on various social media plattforms asking i lesbian women could imagine dating bi women/lesbians who had ever had a relationship/sex with a man.

The results were shocking. Not because, as some prejudging and hurrying ahead reader might assume lesbians were supposed to date bi woman under all circumstances, but because of the reasons given.

Nobody needs to date anybody/ has the right to not always be interested. But you should at least respect other persons.

Posts denying bisexual women their sexuality and just labelling them hets with a kink where the harmless ones by far. On the opposite end of the scale,there were reasons given like “cause they are contaminated”. Yes, you red right. CONTAMINATED. wtf. Where are we? Somewhere in the Middle East or the 50s? Oh my god, a penis touched her, now the packing is damaged, its a used good now, but you´ll get at least 50% discount now. Do you realize how misogynist this sounds?

And feeling offended and counting it as “we are oblieged to date bi women” when one spoke out about how hurting and dehumanizing such language is-srry thats a No Go.

Once again: No one is ever obliged to date anyone and no one ever said the opposite. But you should at least respect other people. Acting like bisexual women are some kind of lepers and turning things around and playing the victim when others say how much such words hurt definetaly isnt that.

And yeah there are definately women who just pretend being bisexual cause they are handmaidens and pick me´s and wanna be more attractive for men by fullflling their porn fantasies of threesomes. But there are women as well who call themselves bi because they have been in love with both men and women and who feel emotional connections to both of them. As well as you dont want to have your sexuality denied like “oh they just havent found the right man yet”, bisexual women dont want this as well.

Yes I know lesbian women face as homosexuals discrimmantion that bisexual women dont face or from which bisexual women can hide in heteronormativity.

But we are not your scapegoats.

 aIf you enter the key words “erectile dysfunction woman” you´ll find lots of tips how to cope as a woman when a man cant get it up, but almost none if you as  woman are the effected.

Sidenafil (Viagra) exists since decaded, but is there something comparabale for women? I dont mean lube, but  something that gets the women wet form the inside that swells the labia minora and so on.

Moreover, there was an article stating that erectile dysfunction isnt so bad a a woman cause she still is able to have sex.

Hello? What kind of sex should that be with the woman not in mood and just letting the guy get over her? I mean then I could also say why are men in need of viagra when they stil could pleasure a woman with their tongue and fingers?

What does this tell us about the view of sexual intercourse we have in general and female sexuality in particular when we view just as long as important as it takes to satify himself for am man.
