If you came here from the "terf honorary posts" you've been scammed <3
While people on twitter are debating "but what if I WANT to shave!!!", women, specially women of color, are MURDERED EVERY DAY for being women. We have a word for it: femicide.
The most dangerous place for a lot of women is their own home. And the most dangerous people are often the ones closest to them. A father, a husband, an ex-boyfriend. (Reminder that women can also perpetrate femicide.)
Tradwife-ism and "I'm just a girl" reinforce the very same ideology that leads to femicide. Controlling women inside the home. If they "step out of line"? At best, they're left without resources of their own. At worst? They're murdered. This is real life.
And if a woman can't provide for herself? She needs disabled rights. She (and everyone) needs universal basic income. She needs a support net. She DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNDER A MAN'S MERCY.
Never stop being a loud feminist. No peace until all women are treated as equals. No peace until every woman, SPECIALLY WOMEN OF COLOR, can feel truly safe and free. Trans women obviously included.
I speak from a brazilian perspective. Over 1.800 women in Brazil were victims of femicide in 2024. More than 2.000 women suffered attempts against their lives. It's very unfortunately possible that from those 2.000, some might have been killed this year, since the people who do those attempts often try again. And I completely believe that those numbers are under-reported, and more femicides are just labeled as homicides instead because of "lack of proof".
WOMEN ARE DYING. BE LOUD, "OBNOXIOUS" AND DEMANDING OF GENDER EQUALITY. CALL OUT BULLSHIT WHEN YOU SEE IT.
Don't fall for cultural setbacks. Don't let cute aesthetics and personal tastes wash away decades of progress.
