WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 11 OF 12 Friday, March 24, 2023

"Black women have long been the backbone of our political progressive past: the strategists and protesters and organizers and volunteers, the women who've gotten out the vote and licked the envelopes, pioneered the thinking that led to the revolutions. Yet they've been only barely represented in leadership of the political parties they've bolstered, their policy priorities have often gone unaddressed and unrecognized; their participation has long been taken for granted. And when white women have caught up to where black women have been for a long time, the work of the black women has often been appropriated, ignored, and uncredited by those with greater economic, cultural, and racial advantage." - Rebecca Traister, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger

WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH QUOTE 3 OF 3 Wednesday, March 1, 2023

"On some level, if not intellectual then animal, there has always been an understanding of the power of women's anger: that as an oppressed majority in the United States, women have long had within them the potential to rise up in fury, to take over a country in which they've never really been offered their fair or representative stake. Perhaps the reason that women's anger is so broadly denigrated—treated as so ugly, so alienating, and so irrational—is because we have known all along that with it came the explosive power to upturn the very systems that have sought to contain it. What becomes clear, when we look to the past with an eye to the future, is that the discouragement of women's anger—via silencing, erasure, and repression—stems from the correct understanding of those in power that in the fury of women lies the power to change the world." - Rebecca Traister, Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger

I don’t get much of a weekend because I’m hustling on some freelance alterations from home. But I’m making great progress on this audiobook and thought I’d shout it out. I’ve heard in media and from various people in life that anger isn’t productive, or isn’t appropriate. Especially when one is female. But this book by Rebecca Traister is about why being angry is okay, even necessary, and can be a fuel for revolutionary change. Super enjoying it so far and I recommend, especially as 2020 is an election year. #reading #audiobook #goodandmad #rebeccatraister #currentlyreading #votethemout https://www.instagram.com/p/B67Q0mRJgTR/?igshid=1own2vdnec71f

Vi segnalo questo libro. "Il percorso verso l'uguaglianza uomo-donna richiede necessariamente un periodo in cui le donne smetteranno di sposarsi. Nella transizione dallo stato di subalternità a quello di sovranità, sarà necessaria un'epoca di totale indipendenza. Anche il più libero ed equo tra gli uomini sarà succube di tradizioni durature, norme preesistenti e codici d'onore e rispettabilità che lo costringeranno a imporre la sua autorità secondo il modello millenario di patriarchia. Nessuna legge rivoluzionerà di fatto le relazioni tra uomini e donne, così come i bianchi stentano a riconoscere diritti civili e politici ai neri. Gli uomini si sentono traditi da una donna single, ne hanno paura perché non riflette la sua aspettativa di femminilità e intacca il valore della famiglia come istituzione sociale. Lo status di donna single è ostracizzato perché fuori da norme culturali e religiose e viene attaccato in quanto inappropriato. La donna al di fuori del suo contesto tradizionale non ha un marito che possa garantire per la sua virtù né figli che possano attestare il suo merito come madre." Secondo l'uomo, una donna non sceglie di essere single: vuol dire che è sola, sfigata, frigida, lesbica, brutta, rifiutata, isterica, zitella, acida. La depressione e l'ansia che affligge il genere femminile più di quello maschile è forse legata alla consapevolezza del ruolo che il sistema prevede e si aspetta dalla donna.

That "fun" moment in your life when you're eating lunch alone on your lunch break minding your business and reading. And your engineer comes over all excited about a girl he's met and how #ShesTheOne and you're super excited too because you love #love. Then he starts in on how you're going to be 40 this year and that you need a husband and that I'm too beautiful to be alone and I'm going to be 40 and I'm just like "cheezus I'm sick of having this conversation"... And then he leaves and I glance down and laugh because of the book I happen to be reading 😂❤️ #allthesingleladies #rebeccatraister #nytimesbestseller #unmarriedwomen #independantnation #adventuresofsinglemomdom #singlemom #single #thisis39 #ImNotDamagedGoods #ThereIsNothingWrongWithMe #IDoWhatIWant https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsn-yLBlpUU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hze62k8nu5ei

Friday night. Shabbat. Sick as a dog. 🤒🤢😷 (I don’t get that saying.) My only plan is to drink my peppermint tea and finish these three books that have taken me too long to finish so I can focus on the seven books I have to read in the next four weeks to end this second-to-last semester of grad school. Too many books is not a thing. Trying to get stuff done while I feel like crud. #semitism #jonathanweisman #goodandmad #rebeccatraister #myjewishyear #abigailpogrebin #feministbooks #jewishbooks #bitchmedia #feminist #jewish #book #books #booklover #sickday #friday #shabbat #bookstagram #tealover #teastagram (at Oak Grove, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqRRShmn5yr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pr8b8pp2gr02
