Progress = Any woman can be objectified!
Women with Down syndrome have traded one form of dehumanization for another. Forget being treated equally in the workplace, or being considered human. If you have breasts and an ass, put on some lingerie and heels and we’ll treat you just like any other woman! Aka, a sex object. First Victoria’s Secret Model With Down Syndrome Says “We Have No Limits!”
it sucks trying to talk to younger girls about things like grooming and appealing to the male gaze as an adult bc so many of them just assume we’re out of touch, haven’t experienced anything similar, and generally don’t know what the hell we’re taking about when that couldn’t be farther from the truth. they assume we’re puritans, which is so frustrating because it’s like i was you when i was that age lol please listen
Like I just lived thru this hell and I'm trying to help you survive it, please hear me
It's not a character defect of teenage girls either, girls are socialized to reject and feel removed from older women. Older women are the primary protectors of younger women and girls. It's their role to tell them the risks, the games men play, the way they're being used and abused. Older women are intentionally alienated (via socialization and culture) from younger women by men to prevent older women from limiting men's access to young women and girls.
Oh yes this is a very good point too, thank you.
Men do it by creating a culture of “old women are just jealous that you are younger and more beautiful” so younger women feel they are of higher value.
What is about about women in their forties and beyond t…
The prime of life, the decades from forty to sixty—when many men but certainly most women are at the height of their powers—are cast as men’s peak and women’s decline (an especially sharp irony since those years represent women’s sexual peak and men’s sexual decline). This double standard is not based on health differences between middle-aged men and women, but on the artificial inequality of the beauty myth. The hypocrisy of the use of “health” as a gloss for the Surgical Age is that the myth’s true message is that a woman should live hungry, die young, and leave a pretty corpse.

The abrahamic god is a male power fantasy and I refuse to worship an omnipotent being who treats 50% of his most important creations as inferior, naturally evil beings who’s only value is their virginity, something that most women don’t have a say in within traditional religious societies.
In teaching her about oppression, be careful not to turn the oppressed into saints. Saintliness is not a prerequisite for dignity. People who are unkind and dishonest still deserve dignity. Property rights for Nigerian women, for example, is a major feminist issue, and the women do not need to be good and angelic to be allowed their property rights.

“be his worst nightmare” how about stop obsessing over a man who doesn’t think about you at all
the “femme fatale” is a masculine fantasy. you’re kidding yourself if you think men are intimidated by it. Get a hobby
The best revenge against a man is simply being happy in your own skin, centering yourself, and ignoring them.

i will never understand women who say wearing makeup is the best part of being a girl… not wearing makeup is the ultimate psychological freedom
I hate how the whole “pick me girl” thing has turned into full on shaming any woman who does not subscribe to every hyperfeminine stereotypes.
Some fanart of this ancient figurine! Also got commissioned to draw her hanging out with a friend!
bro math is crazy because it. it’s just a concept people made up but it’s fundamental knowledge for understanding the universe😮😮🔥🔥🔥
I found this slideshow on Linked In and thought it was worth sharing here. Does anyone have any opinions on any of these resources? I use Duolingo and I like it.

Storyville - Defying the Cutting Season
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) has been illegal in Tanzania since 1998. But every year thousands of families still plan to have their daughters cut, an ordeal that could cost them their lives. The ‘Cutting Season’ takes place during the December school holidays.
During this time hundreds of girls are saved from FGM by the police, the government and the work of the Safe House. It is run by Rhobi Samwelly, who was herself a victim of FGM, and now, not only does she valiantly run the safe house but she also works with the local police to rescue and protect girls at risk while arresting the parents and cutters.
But they have a tough and dangerous job and old customs die hard. Men believe that girls must be cut to reduce promiscuity and cut girls command twice the bride price in cows as uncut girls. Girls like Rosie, just 12 years old, have had to make the most difficult choices of their young lives - run away from home, not knowing if they will ever see their families again, or submit to female genital mutilation and child marriage.
These brave and courageous young girls are fighting against a tradition that goes back thousands of years. They are standing up for their human rights and fighting for change in their community.
The Safe House is the one safe place they can escape to.
