Some women are like "Oh no, I'm not a feminist" or just shitting on feminism in general while getting equal opportunity in their education, getting paid equal to their male counterparts, wearing pants outside their home, posting things on social media, giving opinion about the government and so much more which feminists fought for. Babe, u are living ur privileged life because of feminism, stop being delusional.

And as humans we never realise how much we crave serenity, sometimes in serenity itself and often in chaos too.

Never have I felt this wretched by a book, never! Being weak at heart I intentionally avoid reading disturbing books but I just couldn't resist this one. I finished this in two sittings, first half out of excitement of starting and the second half of wanting to see it throught the end. I had already been warned about part 3, but reading it was one of the most bravest reading I've ever done, NGL. Part 3 was so dreadful, treacherous, exhilarating I could feel a knot in my throat just reading it, I was literally squeezing on anything in hold to let the feeling subside. At points I felt I should just leave it but I knew it wouldn't leave me alone, so I saw through it. Towards the end I had developed major trust issues and just waited for how worse it could go, it did worsen and worsen but the two of them saw through it two, the third could not. I was numb. As much of a hopeless romantic I am I wouldn't dare to say all's well that ends well NOOO!!! I'd rather have them be seperated than go through all that they had to go through.

The worst part is that it's not just fiction, it's a reality of thousands and thousands of women around the world, it was the same 100 years ago and even today in not just war stricken Afghanistan but also in the society we live in. All the freedom and alternatives we take for granted would feel like heaven to those women. And calling out all the stupid illiterate donkeys who twist religion to impose their will on women, when they themselves know what kind of assholes they are. Prepare your excuses well for the day of judgement.

If any of you ever feel like what you're doing for Palestine isn't helping anything, I'll tell you right now it's helping me. I know it is fortifying all of us who have been in this fight for years to see so many people willing to speak up. It has never been like this before.

The tide has already turned. The fact that #free palestine will have new posts everyday, that helps me. It helps my mental health knowing that Palestinians are less alone now than ever.

Yesterday I read some verses from the Quran talking about how "the blame" is not with those who wish to help but cannot, but with those who CAN help and do not.

Truly I do not care if all you do for Palestine is post in that #free palestine everyday, that is still more than many people with the means to do even more would do.

We see you. We see you standing in solidarity with us and with Palestinians. We love you. Thank you.

I have to keep reminding myself that the point of collective action is that it's collective.

It's terrifying and demoralizing that nothing thus far has stopped or more than briefly paused the genocide.

But that's not a reason to stop trying.

If you can protest in person, do that.

If you can donate, do that.

If you can write your officials, do that.

If you can click once a day, do it here: https://arab.org/click-to-help/palestine/

And if all you can do is share, do that.

I don't know who are the human animals here people who were dying of starvation finally having a sigh of relief at the sight of food or the ones who baited these 600,000 starving people with merely two air drops of flour and shooted and killed 150 people within just 10 minutes

How can people still not realise that this is one of most heinous war crimes to ever happen and still the opressors are shown and accepted as oppressed?

I love being warm - taking hot showers, drinking hot coffee or steamed milk, cuddling up in my fave blanket or just lying in his arms

The fact that I am blushing giggling kicking air over old Bollywood romantic songs after years of very rarely listening to them says a lot about how badly in love I am right now 😩

I am okay with your history. It made you who you are. And I happen to be in love with who you are.

This is very true! Glad that our society has woken up to this.

Men will be the ones doing most of the household chores soon anyway. Women are showing their supiriority in schools, in colleges, and now in the workplace. Males will make great servants!

[liztical]

I don't agree with you. Feminism doesn't mean men hate in anyway. Feminism stands for equality in rights and opportunities of both sexes. Doing what men have done since forever will result in the same cycle repeating some day in the future. The point is to get rid of this notion of power being held by one of the sexes or one being superior than the other.

Forcing men into household chores and women into the outside world is doing what men did long ago, just roles reversed. The point is to let women who want to pursue a career, do it. And also, letting women who want to spend time on their families, do it without making them feel bad about not being the cool business woman she doesn't even want to be.(That too if her partner is okay being the sole provider). This should also be equally acceptable if the roles are reversed.

Ultimately, feminism seeks to create an inclusive society where everyone can live according to their own preferences, irrespective of traditional gender stereotypes, a society where choices are respected and supported without judgment, where partners support each other equally.
