“Happy Birthday, Frida Kahlo! 🎂🎉

Today marks the birth of one of Mexico’s most famous artists – Frida Kahlo. Frida would often lie about her birthday to coincide with the start of the Mexican Revolution on July 7, 1910. Born to a German father and a Mesitza mother, Frida grew up defying gender norms and enjoyed dressing in men’s clothing from a young age and was encourage by her father to do so.

In her youth, Frida was a prominent student on her way to becoming a doctor before polio and a devastating bus accident left her permanently disabled. A communist, feminist, and artist, Frida’s work centered around gender, race, love, and pain in what many have deemed surrealist art although she was not fond of the categorization.

Throughout her life Frida would stand with workers and oppressed peoples in Mexico in beyond. In fact, she rallied the courage to protests despite severe illness after the U.S. ousted President Jacob Arbenz in Guatemala. Today we honor her unforgettable legacy and spirit.”

being a female means avoiding eye contact with men to not draw attention to yourself as a potential target

Being a male mean avoiding eye contact with women because they might think we are ugly

[mcdyke-deactivated20171112]

hmm yes being a target of abuse is equivalent to thinking you’re ugly

this is literally it. male idea of oppression is women not being sexually available to them when they want them to be. that’s why whiny internet men cry so much about the friend zone. this is literally it for them.

“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” - Margaret Atwood

awfully relevant.

Grace Lee Boggs (1915-2015) was a writer, social activist, and feminist. The daughter of Chinese immigrants, she was particularly concerned with the rights of marginalized groups, women, and people of colour.

She studied philosophy, and obtained her PhD from Bryn Mawr College in 1940. She was a member of the Workers Party, and wrote books such as Revolution and Evolution in the Twentieth Century or Women and the Movement to Build a New America. She was the founder of a youth programme called Detroit Summer, as well as the Boggs Center, which still promotes community projects and social activism today.

how insidious to make young girls buy hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, to force them to read up on its theory, to make them practice it for hours in order to escape mockery, to make them feel safe only when performing this hyper femininity, and then to even have the audacity to package it in feminist language so that they firmly believe it sets them free.

Wow it’s almost like most of human history has been about controlling women… or something…

A brilliant metaphor

6. Cycle lanes are built just for you, and then the cars drive in those too.

[luminousfinn]

7. And if the cars get told they can’t drive in the cycle lane they whine about all the special treatment that cyclists get.

[yuutfa]

8. You’re on constant alert for cars because you’ve heard about the horrific deaths and incidents caused by them. You are berated and dismissed for being paranoid when you express fear around cars.

[itspazuzu]

9. Some cars act polite and nice at first but as as soon as you tell them you just want to ride your bike in peace they try to run you over.
