From Frat To Feminist

A college student's take on life, issues of the world, and how your take on it all can change. Feminism is the idea that women are people. And Egalitarian is the idea that people are people. I like people. All people. Not just women. I'd like to teach people that feminism can look like that.

Just a reminder that the thing that is now usually referred to as a trigger warning has been a common and accepted practice for a long time. The reason it is causing so much anger now is because it’s being requested by trauma survivors, people with mental illnesses, and young people, and because its new name reflects that. This toxic cocktail of sexism, ableism, and ageism is a helluva drug.

because many people need a reminder

So......

…..I am on the verge of being suspended from my one job…..

because….

a woman complained to both my manager and the store manager and the assistant store manager that I was being rude and ignoring her while I was on till and cashing her through because I wasn’t talking to her when she was talking to me……

I’m Deaf. 

I have a sticker that I can put on my till and a pin that I put on my uniform that says DEAF so that people know. The packer who was packing up her groceries told her I was Deaf and her response to him was ‘She should learn to listen better if she is going to work in the service industry.’ My packer then tried to continue to explain to which the lady told him that it was still my responsibility to have a conversation with her if she wanted one and that instead of watching the screen to see if her groceries scanned through I should listen to the beeps that way I can talk to her. 

3 times my packer explained to her that I physically am unable to hear and no matter what I won’t be able to pay attention to both what she is trying to tell me and to the computer to make sure all the groceries went through. 

And still she complained. 

And now because she complained to both the store managers and the front end manager they might have to put me on suspension for 3 days because of it. 

What fucking bullshit audist society do we live in?????

Oppression is cooking being “women’s work,” while the overwhelming majority of top restaurant chefs are male.

Oppression is fashion being a “silly girl thing,” while the top earning designers and CEOs in fashion are male.

Oppression is reducing women to consumers profiting a male system, even in fields that we supposedly dominate.

When trains were introduced in the U.S, many people believed that that “women’s bodies were not designed to go at 50 miles an hour,” and that their “uteruses would fly out of [their] bodies if they were accelerated to that speed.”

I have so much respect for historical women not murdering every man they know

this is disgusting

[beesforbernie-deactivated201807]

don’t let this be swept under the rug. this is another instance where a girl will not feel beautiful for the color of her skin, another time where a girl will not have representation. this is another instance where young girls will be wondering why they don’t have perfect skin and curves. don’t let this be forgotten about.

Actresses were turned down because they said they weren’t looking for a Native American actor. DO NOT SUPPORT PAN!!! This is a Warner Bros. production, directed by Joe Wright (who has taken credit for deciding the tribe would be multicultural but gave it a white poster child ((and a white leading cast all around))).

Well, that was easy.

You just learned 8 Chinese words in the cutest way possible.

When TED speaker ShaoLan Hsueh tried to teach her children Chinese, she realized just how hard it is for new learners to grasp. So she created a series of illustrations to make the beautiful, often complex characters easier to remember. It makes learning Chinese … wait for it … Chineasy.

Gloria Steinem Says Black Women 'Invented The Feminist Movement'

Gloria Steinem is all about sisterhood. In an interview with Black Enterprise, published on March 19, Gloria Steinem discussed the impact black women have had on the feminist movement and the idea

When Tisdale asked Steinem what she would tell black women who said the feminist movement isn’t about them or doesn’t speak to them, Steinem replied, “I don’t say anything. I listen.”

There you have it.
