Victoria Woodhull 2016

[promising-notions]

This fails to mention that she was the first woman to run for US president, as well as being the first woman stockbroker on Wall Street alongside her sister Tennie Claflin, and their newspaper published the first English translation of the Communist Manifesto known to date

@reservoircat HEY LOOK WHAT JUST POPPED UP ON MY DASH

[reservoircat]

YES, I HAVE *OPINIONS* ABOUT THIS POST.

Okay, for starters, Victoria wasn’t a sex worker. She wasn’t necessarily anti-sex worker in the manner of the time–she viewed it as a societal ill that occurred because of the inequality of women and the power structure which allowed and abused such sex work. But she very much wanted to destroy the structures that forced many women into sex work and sex trafficking.

The claims that Victoria herself was a sex worker come from two things: her supportive stance on ‘free love’, i.e. the allowance for men and women to chose their own consensual sex partners outside of marriage, and her rise to power as a millionaire New York stock broker and newspaper owner. See, men of the time refused to believe that Victoria and her younger sister Tennessee Claflin could truly be such shrewd, ambitious and forward thinking businesswomen all on their own. So they spread the rumor that the sisters got their positions and fortunes from being sugar babies basically.

She was also virulently anti-trafficking after her younger sister and business partner Tennie Claflin was kidnapped and sold into brothels by one of their business rivals. When this happened, Victoria and her husband Colonel James Blood tracked the traffickers down and retrieved Tennie at gunpoint from her captors. 

Victoria was not well liked by her fellow suffragists either because she was an ardent supporter of Black suffrage and total equality of all races. She regularly told Stanton and Anthony to go fuck themselves.

It was awesome. She was awesome.

I just love Victoria Woodhull so much ;-;

Based on genital structure men should really be the ones wearing skirts and women should be wearing pants.

For the second year in a row, the Oscars failed to nominate a single actor of color

Of all the things that needed sequels this year, #OscarsSoWhite was at the very bottom of the list. Yet come Thursday morning, that sequel is exactly what viewers got. Twitter users cleverly pointed out how ironic (and hilariously bad) this will look on Oscar night.

Hand Painted Ants Cover Vintage Porcelain Dishes 

German artist Evelyn Bracklow creates uniquely beautiful and unconventional porcelain dishes which are covered by hand-painted ants. Bracklow’s impressive technique resembles those of real ants, which hoard a plate of food on a summer day. The insects are meticulously crafted and well-executed.  Although her vintage designs are dainty and delicate, they also inspire fear and deep admiration. The strangely stunning composition poses a juxtaposition between intrigue and the multiple meanings of grace and beauty. You can buy her work at her Etsy shop.
