On that note, maybe I should just stop blogging feminism on tumblr, I've gotten too many threats from neckbeards and misogynistic scumbags to feel safe continuing.
To all the people who have wished death, rape and other nastiness upon me, I hope one day you erase the hatred from your lives and learn compassion. Feminism shouldn’t be a spark for anger, hatred and harassment. It should be a way for all sorts of people to discover their senses of empathy and fight for a better world, and for women to feel safe in uniting and organising to liberate themselves from oppression. I do believe that a better world is possible and after seeing the inspiring amount of passion so many feminists here have, especially the young ones, it’s given me some hope that this movement still has a chance to pick itself up. Keep doing what you do ladies, and if the bullshit is too derailing or exhausting, you deserve to have positivity in your lives, and you should find it however you can. And remember, as much as it’s infuriating when people can’t see your point of view, it’s not cool to harass, bully, stalk or threaten them. No one deserves to have their physical or mental health at risk because of differences in politics.
