When I think of women, I think of power.

The rage of the oppressed is never the same as the rage of the privileged.

and nonblack people will continue to talk shit about black people while listening to black music, using black slang, following trends that black people popularized, and laughing at memes black people created

Women aren’t my competition because male attention and sexual objectification are not prizes for me.

When our sister's stand up and say, "Hey! we need more support, we're drowning!" You don't get to look at them and say, "I see you drowning but my clothes are wet, we all have problems." When a women is refused service for being a woman, we all come together and demand service, but later, when a woman is refused service for her skin color many white women tend to make excuses, "we already fought and won the service battle."  leaving our colored sisters stand on their own. This is not right. "If you will not admit that a problem is real then you stand in the way of a real solution." When our sisters come to us with issues, we need to acknowledge them, support them, and if it comes to it, fight for them because THEY are US.

Some people ask: ‘Why the word feminist? Why not just say you are a believer in human rights, or something like that?’ Because that would be dishonest. Feminism is, of course, part of human rights in general – but to choose to use the vague expression human rights is to deny the specific and particular problem of gender. It would be a way of pretending that it was not women who have, for centuries, been excluded.

When boys complain about bra straps being distracting, and start comparing it to pulling out their cock, do they fucking realise that a bra is underwear, not genitalia? And the equivalent would be them walking around with their pants so low that their boxers are showing, which they would never do… OH WAIT

No one actually thinks all men. Just too many men. Just enough men to be afraid. Just enough men that all women have experienced it. Just enough to make it a social problem not a personal one.

i wish men understood that when women are talking about feminism and rape culture and shit, it’s not just a political conversation. it’s not about being a “social justice warrior” or whatever. it’s about our actual lives being shaped by misogyny since childhood, and the daily reality of living in fear of violence. this isn’t a fucking game or philosophical debate. this is our fucking lives.

There’s a startling difference between what men want in a wife and in a daughter

this is really creepy

Another girl being pretty does not make me ugly,

Another girl being smart does not mean I’m not smart.

Another girl being liked does not mean I am unliked.

I am perfect and incredible just the way I am, and any other girl is perfect and incredible just the way she is.

Girl competition needs to stop, and self love needs to start.

If you are a man who thinks it’s funny to make misogynist jokes purely to make your female friends uncomfortable/angry, then you are a misogynist.  It is not “just a joke.”  You literally are finding humor in the discomfort and dehumanization of women.  You are not helping, you are not making satire.  You are just being misogynist.
