La Vache Intrépide

You can honour your mother by taking care of her as she ages instead of creating more people that absolutely did not need to come into existence and wasting your life and money on them.

there’s nothing inherently oppressive about female biology, including pregnancy or periods - women don’t have “inferior” bodies to males, we literally outlive them in every society despite a brutal patriarchy

what exists is medical misogyny, and it’s the reason why pregnancies and periods are so much more harmful than necessary in a scientifically advanced, modern society

but to think that the issue is inherently women’s bodies is just wrong, though i get why the patriarchy can trick you into believing this

women and girls just haven’t been the spotlight at all within medical research, but many people - both females and males - wouldn’t exist or survive into adulthood if not for scientific innovation

it’s not female bodies which are the problem, it’s just the fact women and girls haven’t been deemed worthy enough to understand, and we were barred from scientific fields for millennia

I didn't know that! I usually just get horrified by the fact that all this shit is being built to make everyone dumber and beef up the surveillance state. We know it eats through water and electricity like nobody's business.

hi, so everyone go read ‘whose names are unknown’ by sanora babb, its an absolutely electrifying book, but most importantly she did all the work, the interviews, the fieldwork to write this story in the 30s and her work was literally STOLEN by steinbeck for his ‘grapes of wrath’ (parasitic males be parasitizing). that’s why her book didn’t come out until the 21st centrury, but its finally out and deserves a read. also fuck steinbeck.

My life improved so much when I started forcing myself to do things: forcing myself to exercise, to cook from scratch; forcing myself to go to the movies or to museums alone, to wear that really cute outfit just to run errands; forcing myself to read a book, to strike up a conversation with a stranger, to ask for a raise.

Once you begin forcing yourself to do the things that you had been too scared or too lazy to do, you feel a sense of accomplishment that gives you momentum to do even more. It gets easier to get out of your comfort zone & to do hard things.

Personally i believe little girls are being gaslit and manipulated to think grooming and pedophilia is fine and this is all the disgusting work of this disgusting society that we live in i hope some day people stop doing this to girls

A big part of the reason I don't want kids is simply that I don't think I would be a good parent. I'm short-tempered and can be vicious when I'm angry. I hate loud noises, repetitive noises, sticky sensations, and being touched when I'm not expecting it. I like getting drunk and high. I like doing things quickly and efficiently. I always have to be at least 15 minutes early to everything. I have horrible sleep as it is, and that's living alone and having a big comfy bed all to myself and never having to get up in the night unless I need to pee. I love being alone and doing things by myself.

Other people have always rushed to console me when I say this -- "you can learn to get good at it! I was the same way before I had kids!" But like. I don't want to change. I like my life and I like doing things the way I want to do them. In many ways I'm a lot like the woman who raised me, who I can best describe through the anecdote that she didn't let us have balloons on our birthdays because there was a chance they could pop and make a loud noise that would hurt her ears. I love her and I always will, but there was a lot of warmth and comfort I needed that she just wasn't able to give me and I know I would probably be the same way. It wasn't her choice to have to raise me. I get to make a choice that she didn't.

Women in particular are shamed for possessing the qualities I've listed above. It's seen as morally wrong for women to not be intrinsically nurturing, endlessly self-sacrificing, interminably patient. I get that we will be shamed a lot for admitting that we aren't. But I hope that those of us who lack those qualities can just accept that, because it's a terrible thing to bring an unwitting child into the world just to prove to the haters that you're not a cold mean b*tch.

Do you realize how many ways women are shamed for not dying? We're shamed for getting older. We're shamed for having c-sections. We're shamed for surviving assault. When our mere existence is a defiance to a system that want our lives missing, we dismantle the patriarchy each time we choose living.

I’m still kinda astonished they really had no qualms offering disproportionately autistic kids (who they know hate change, have issues visualising the future and are usually emotionally immature) puberty blockers. Like obviously they’re gonna say yes, trans identifying or not.

internally, you must start adding “and they still can’t stop us” to the end of every dismaying statistic about rape, male violence, and woman-hating. 1 in 9 girls are sexually abused, and they still can’t stop us. a woman is killed by a partner or family member every 10 minutes, and they still can’t stop us. the global pay gap is still wide, we have not achieved gender parity in global politics, etc etc etc, and they still can’t stop us. women & girls can’t be stopped. we carve out our lives and make change. we are at war and many individual battles are lost, the suffering is enormous. but women will win the war (and are winning across the eons), because everything they’ve done so far hasn’t been able to put a dent in the collective female spirit, which is evident when you look at the curve of human history and how we never give up on improving, inventing, innovating, changing life for the better

If you were to describe any other group as an animal, it would be bigoted. When misandrists call men pigs, its meant to be insulting. You call a brown man a monkey and it's rightfully racist. Refer to a Jew as a rat and it's anti-semetic but refer to a woman as bitch and somehow, it's empowering? "oh, but we reclaimed it!!" When did we decide to reclaim a slur for 50% of the population. Did I miss the meeting. Where was my invite. Was there a vote.
