Don’t fool yourself into thinking ladies were demure and silent in the past.

I would like more female characters being this open

Ancient moon priestesses were called virgins. ‘Virgin’ meant not married, not belonging to a man - a woman who was ‘one-in-herself’. The very word derives from a Latin root meaning strength, force, skill; and was later applied to men: virle. Ishtar, Diana, Astarte, Isis were all all called virgin, which did not refer to sexual chastity, but sexual independence. And all great culture heroes of the past, mythic or historic, were said to be born of virgin mothers: Marduk, Gilgamesh, Buddha, Osiris, Dionysus, Genghis Khan, Jesus - they were all affirmed as sons of the Great Mother, of the Original One, their worldly power deriving from her. When the Hebrews used the word, and in the original Aramaic, it meant ‘maiden’ or ‘young woman’, with no connotations to sexual chastity. But later Christian translators could not conceive of the ‘Virgin Mary’ as a woman of independent sexuality, needless to say; they distorted the meaning into sexually pure, chaste, never touched.

next time someone tells you Muslim countries oppress women, let them know Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Turkey, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, and Senegal have all had female Presidents or Prime Ministers and 1/3rd of Egypt’s parliament is female but the US has yet to even have a female vice president and can’t say “vagina” when discussing female reproductive rights

Y'all, do NOT go partying with people that dont care about you. I dont care how fun or lit they are. If you get fucking alcohol poisoning, these people will NOT be here for you. They will leave you for dead. If you’re lucky, they will call the police and leave you out there. I firsthand witnessed two girls leave their friend, who was passed out unconscious and NOT waking up, in someone’s dorm. As they walked away, they laughed about how “she didn’t know her limits” and “we are never drinking with her again. She got us in trouble.” Shit is real out here and these people do NOT care bruh!!!!!

It’s been very rare to have known you, very strange and wonderful.

I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.
