i find the trend of showing pictures of fully transitioned trans men (presumably idk if they’re exaggerated or not) w/ captions like “this man will now have to use the women’s bathroom” n shit like that in order to scare people and i’ve even seen transactivists use that shit but like… isn’t a lot of ur movement dedicated to making sure trans people aren’t smeared as predators? why would u even share/make stuff like that even as just a joke or intimidation tactic it’s really gross

Do you ever just feel overcome by utter astonishment & disbelief that people even demand proof that porn is harmful in the first place? Like here are thousands upon thousands of videos showing 25 men penetrating one woman in her vagina, anus, & mouth, calling her a dirty slut & a cum bucket, & ejaculating on her face & body while she grimaces or cries, but what do you mean this is misogynistic? Rape & abuse, haha what are you talking about, she loves it! Why don’t you PROVE these negative effects, huh?? But even when you do show them all the research, statistics, & testimonies in the world, they don’t care. It’s like people’s brains just fall out of their heads when it comes to porn.

dear clothing manufacturers:

make sleeves go all the way to the wrist

stop putting shelf bras in everything

make jeans for short people with big butts

make shirts out of anything more substantial than gossamer

stop putting hanger straps on everything, they’re fn annoying and we’re disasters who don’t use them anyway

fake pockets???!!? FAKE POCKETS??!!?

put pockets on everything i am serious

charge less than half what you’re currently charging for shorts

end ‘one size fits all’ forever

size women’s clothing the way you size men’s clothing: with MEASUREMENTS

basically stop everything you’re doing and start over completely and don’t be rude dusty dongs this time

* MAKE WHITE SHIRTS THAT ARE NOT SEE-THROUGH. MAKE ALL SHIRTS NOT SEE-THROUGH. PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

acknowledge that as torso size increases, arm size and shoulder width will likely also increase and size your damn button downs accordingly

hey gals, i was wondering if anybody knew of any books/essays of radical feminist theory on parenting or children in general? i’d love some recs if you have them, thanks!

This is not the face of a liar, nor is it the face of an attention seeker. It’s the face of a broken soul.

a lot of men say they want women to embrace their natural beauty but they really just want women who are already “pretty enough” without makeup to not wear makeup… like, you don’t want someone to show their natural acne and scars and natural hyper pigmentation, you don’t let women have their natural mustaches, chin hair, beards, and unibrows without shitting on them, which is exactly how they grow for a lot of people, etc. you want women to wax and shape their natural brows, remove their natural facial hair and body hair, and do a strict skincare regimen to manipulate the chemistry and physiological processes of their skin to maintain clear unblemished skin and adhere to already existing beauty standards. you just don’t want them to wear the style of makeup you don’t like lol

Say that at 18 I slap down enough money so I could have my whole body covered head-to-toe in tattoos, piercings all over myself, a mountain of cigarettes, plastic surgery, and plan to have like 20 babies… but if I try at all to safely make it impossible for me to breed for the sake of my health suddenly its like WOAH THERE SLOW DOWN MISSY YOU’RE NOT READY FOR THIS KIND OF COMMITMENT YET

[theonewholovesbooks]

I have stage III Endometriosis, which means I have to get my uterus removed because I literally have terrible cramps ALL THE TIME and not just when I’m on my period. Now, I’ve always said I don’t want any children for personal reasons and I don’t need my uterus, really. I am not worried about that surgery and I don’t feel any kind of nostalgia over an organ I won’t ever use. 

The thing is, my doctor is a ‘man’. This ‘man’ told me I had to get pregnant right now before it’s too late. I told him I didn’t want to get pregnant and explained the multiple reasons but what, do you ask, did my doctor have to say about this? ‘Well, better have a kid now because just imagine how depressing it must be being a thirty-something woman without children and a husband?’

I was diagnosed a year ago. I should have gone through surgery six months ago and I still can’t find a doctor that will perform the surgery without trying to force me to have children first. Basically, if you’re a woman you don’t have a say in what can and cannot be done to your body without a shitload of people getting in the way AND I’M FUCKING SICK OF IT.

A dear friend of mine wanted to have her tubes tied.  She was about to give birth to twins and the doctors wouldn’t consent because she wasn’t 21 yet.  She had already had children and they still refused to let her have the procedure.

[rcmclachlan]

My friend got a vasectomy a week after asking his doctor for one, no problem. He was 25.

Me? I’ve asked 4 different doctors for some kind of permanent sterilisation—tubal ligation or Essure or whatever—and I get a pat on the head and a “You’d regret it if you did.”

Oh, DIDN’T REALIZE YOU HAD A DIRECT LINE TO MY BRAIN.

[bidyke]

This is horrifying.

Women are so cool

[xurrr]

If a man is able to look at a woman being hit, spat on, or otherwise degraded and be aroused by this, you should absolutely feel justified in thinking he might be dangerous. Male violence against women isn’t attractive, nor should it be tolerated in any context.

[liberalbutnotpartisan]

Yes, I prefer Bernie Sanders. But if Hillary Clinton’s the nominee, I’m voting for her. I will be damned if I live in a country with a President Cruz or President Trump.

[elloellenoh]

Important to remember. We must vote. If you choose not to vote because you prefer Bernie over Hilary or vice versa, then it essentially becomes a vote for the Republican party. Please vote.

Women, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: IF A MAN TRULY RESPECTS YOU, HE WILL NOT CHEAT. PERIOD.

It is 2016 and y'all need to stop thinking there’s some sort of prestige in being the girl who stuck around the longest. Getting ran through the ground and parading it off as “loyalty”, “love”, “commitment” and what not is ASININE.

Flip the script on a man and watch how quickly he will kick that ass to the curb! I have had too many girlfriends try to rationalize why their boyfriends would cheat on them. These young women would find every fucking reason to stay.

After years of listening to these repetitive stories, I eventually asked, “would he stay with you if you were to do half of what he does?” They ALWAYS reply, “no,” confidently and without hesitation.

Women stop holding yourself to standards you don’t even hold your partners to. It’s emotional suicide.
