It's NOT that hard.

We will fight as humans against the horrific ideals of those without compassion, sympathy or morals set to our level. We are not feminazis we are people looking for justice. As a woman who was told that I was asking for it (without them knowing the story) I'm disgusted by people who blame victims. I was eleven, I was wearing a Winnie the Pooh pullover and jeans. I will not let people push us down any longer. I will fight. I am an adult who sees what is right and I will try to help others see while comforting those who've been hurt. We don't have to continue in a world like this. We can change it, together we are powerful, together we are strong. I put this page up as a social media tool for an anti sexual violence campaign I'm organizing. This page is for the education of ignorance and the support of survivors. Whether you're a PoC or as Snow white as I am, regardless of your gender identity or lack there of, please feel free to message me. I want to help, I'm here for you.

Giving access is not the same as promising an outcome. 

But when you do not give people access, your are promising there is no chance at certain outcomes.

History wants so badly for Cleopatra to be beautiful. Like they can’t conceive of Rome being intimidated by anything less

[terpsikeraunos]

because being a linguist, fleet commander, and powerful ruler doesn’t matter, only her looks

[destroymales-deactivated2023032]

Her Arab contemporaries raved about her being very interested and knowledgeable in the sciences.

She completely reformed the system in Alexandria, and Egypt at large; making it much more of a functional powerhouse. 

She did what 300 years of her ancestors couldn’t: Managed to get the support of both the Greek AND Egyptian subjects she ruled.

There is a sculpture that has been identified as her, through comparisons to coins minted under her rule, that proves beyond a doubt that she wasn’t particularly beautiful.

It isn’t that people just happen to believe it by mistake. Rome was fucking terrified of her and painted her as a vapid, scheming, beautiful, sex obsessed queen to discredit her to their people. She was a threat, and that was how they handled it. The unfortunate thing is that that is the most surviving record of her. A smear campaign against one of the smartest, most powerful women in human history. 

[jinxmyride-deactivated20161103]

This is a woman who became her father’s co-ruler at nearly 14 years old in order to train for her actual ascension to the throne, who was forced to marry her own siblings in order to keep her power, and it’s widely believed that she poisoned them so she could rule alone. She’s a Pharaoh who led Egypt into a new era of wealth, who went fearlessly into war to protect her rule and Egypt’s independence from the Roman empire, a woman who took her own life rather than face being raped and tortured by her conquerors, knowing full well that she was leaving her surviving children in their uncertain mercy. Cleopatra is one of the most interesting, morally ambiguous, complexing historical figures we have and the media has turned her into a tantalizing sex object for the male gaze.

Even after Cleopatra died her influence on those around her lived on: her daughter, Cleopatra Selene, was the only child of Cleopatra’s to live to adulthood, and she became queen of Mauretania along with her husband Juba and it’s believed they married for love, which was extremely rare for that time period, especially among nobles/the upper class. Not only did she grow up in the house of her mother’s worst enemy and technical murderer, but she still went on to become a queen who possessed an equal amount of political power as her husband, even having her face minted on coins on the opposite side of his likeness, showing they were equal rulers.

Cleopatra and her influence on history, and her daughter’s legacy, have both been brushed aside in favour of the sexy Cleopatra visage. It’s bullshit. Egyptian mythology is interesting and vivid, and full of powerful women and it’s bullshit that we take some of the most powerful women in Africa’s history and try to turn them into fashion icons or sluts who only ruled through toying with men.

I LIVE FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW THIS, people still refuse to believe that a woman can/could have achieved anything without beauty or fucking magical powers  

[unless-we-choose-to-reverse-it]

I think it’s worth pointing out that it’s less of history wanting to make Cleopatra beautiful and more of Augustus’ propaganda campaign against her being wildly successful.

The fact is, she was one of the few contemporaries of Augustus who really did pose a threat to his power. Even if she wasn’t beautiful, the fact is, she made Julius freakin’ Caesar, one of the most powerful men in Roman history and adoptive father of Augustus, her consort, and bore Julius Caesar’s only biological son, Caesarion.

So look at the position she’s in during the war with Rome. She’s an intelligent, competent, charismatic leader of an extremely wealthy region of the Mediterranean. Hell, she’s probably one of the few leaders in the region that’s in Augustus’ weight-class, intellectually speaking. Add to this the fact that she’s made the not-particularly-bright-but-popular Mark Antony her consort (thus gaining the support of his troops) and the fact that she’s the mother of Julius Caesar’s only biological son (a major problem if, say, you were trying to turn Rome into a monarchy by establishing your own family as the ruling dynasty, and gain most of your legitimacy through being Julius Caesar’s adopted son), and you can begin to understand why Cleopatra would have been a toga-stainingly terrifying threat to Augustus’ power.

Cleopatra needed killing, and Augustus needed a cause for war. Only makes sense that historians under the thumb of Augustus (who was very concerned about how history was recorded, if you know what I mean) were ready to repeat this story about her being an evil witch who enslaved good Roman men through her diabolical sex magic and who needed to be killed.

not to harp on this point but the care with which a girl you’ve known for maybe three weeks will ask you “what’s wrong?” if you look even mildly distressed is more emotional labor than you’d receive from any man over the course of six lunar cycles

if my dad sees me crying, he pretends he’s getting a call so that we don’t have to have an awkward conversation, but a drunk girl who stumbled across me in a public bathroom would literally become my emotional triage nurse

[reverseracism]

Exactly.

When I was learning about The United States Civil War during my K-12 years I always found it odd that there were “arguments” that the battle was really about money/currency.

Because lets be honest, HOW were they making that money? Through CHATTEL ENSLAVEMENT.

[dagwolf]

spicer said this shit during passover. like don’t believe for a second he made an innocent mistake, that he wasn’t aware of what he was saying.

[dagwolf]

like this is explicitly antisemitic and he clearly doesn’t understand why

[habitualshaker]

he straight up doesn’t believe that German Jews were people

[margbarcis]

“he never used them on fellow Germans” the implication that german jewish ppl were somehow “not truly german” was quite literally at the core of nazi ideology, this is so incredibly mind-numbingly transparent.

[reptilia2003]

By saying that he never used chemical weapons on “fellow Germans” (sean spicer’s words, not mine) he is basically saying that Jews/Romanis/gays/every other group targeted in the Holocaust weren’t German. Which is what Hitler was literally saying. He was saying that those people (even if they were German and their families had lived in Germany since…ever) weren’t German. And Sean Spicer is repeating that hateful ideology. That’s what was most offensive to me about this entire chemical weapons/Hitler saga. Not that he got the facts wrong about Nazi use of chemical weapons. That he validated and repeated Nazi ideology. Fuck this guy and this entire anti-Semitic administration.
