There is no wrong way to be a woman. However you are doing womanhood is correct. You cannot fail at being a woman. The one and only deciding factor of whether you are a woman or not is being of the female sex. Everything else is made up gender roles. Live your life how you want to live it.
controversial opinion:Ā transwomen insisting on Ā being included in lesbian communities is why lesbian bars are dying because thereās no point trying to socialize with other lesbians or find a romantically/sexually compatible partner in a ālesbianā bar thatās full of malesļ»æ
lesbian transwomen are still women. if you want cis only lesbian spaces make them!
We did.
They were called ālesbian barsā, and āwomenās music festivalsā, and āwomenās book storesā, and trans activists have hounded them out of existence.
PantheaCon female-only spiritual rites infiltrated by transactivists Sex-specific events are no longer allowed at PantheaCon ā not even traditional rites based on exclusively female experiences such as menstruation, which have always been deeply revered in many Pagan traditions
The Fayetteville Goddess Festival has ironically cancelled a lesbian event on the erasure of lesbians due to transactivists complaining it was exclusive.
THE RED TENT: LOST FOREST LODGE Ā has withdrawn their event, The Red Tent Temple from PantheaCon due to āoutragedā transactivist protesters arguing the āentire concept is offensive.āĀ
The Nerds with Vaginas Facebook page has been unpublished at least three times by Facebook due to reports from transactivists over their name. This is despite their regular posts declaring themselves pro-trans and explaining that they, the page owners are the nerds with vaginas.
thats right ladies, not even a facebook page!!!!! not allowed!!!!!! theyāre still alive for now but goddamn
The projection of men being like š no THESE spaces arenāt female only because I want to be in them ok like go make some other female only spaces and Iāll let you know if I want to join or not stop complaining you can only have female only spaces that include men or I feel excluded ok I donāt have my own space ok there werenāt any women in those spaces what else what I supposed to do but come over here into yours??!
if you want your own female spaces then make them!
*nails dead rat to door*
Just a reminder the MichFest controversy roundabout led to the murder of two black lesbians
Remember when nataleebfitness made a women only gym for SA victims and just for women to feel safe. And she got death threats from TRAs, even though there are sooo many gyms who already include TIMs. With TRAs saying a woman is anyone who identifies as one, no matter what the person looks like, they are okay with a tall, muscular, bearded male coming into a space full of SA survivors. Male entitlement knows no bounds
That one tweet that was like "we should scrap 95% of feminist theory so far because it's transphobic and wh*rephobic" vs that one post that was like "women are never allowed to build a literary/religious/theoretical canon for themselves because it's always forcibly reinvented every 30 years, women have no connection to or knowledge of feminist theory that has been formulated for literal centuries, all the while males have their revered Enlightenment philosophers and their Aristotle and Socrates and nobody is taking them away from men no matter how society changes or how "problematic" they were" and I'm too tired to formulate this more coherently but the truth is women and feminism are always suspended on thin ice with no celebrated intellectual heritage and tradition despite the fact that it obviously exists, and this is such a huge way women are alienated and disempowered
āYou can, they insist, still be a feminist and shave your legs, fuck men, consume misogynistic culture. Look, weāre doing it, we call ourselves feminists, you can too.
Now that we have removed all meaning from the word feminism, our ranks have swelled. A woman can now take up the feminist label without any true political, personal, or relational adaptations whatsoever. Itās just another button on her jacket, another sticker on her bumper.ā

COW TOOLS REAL
What's crazy is that people will see this and still think animals are "low" enough to deserve being eaten. Veronika here is a smart cow but you better believe she isn't the only one. That's who's raised entirely so she can get killed for your five minute meal.

The first video editors were women. Women had the skills to edit the film strips without damaging them.
They edited the celluloid film strips with sissors and tape. Handling the films required preciseness, dexterity, cleverness and patience. The kind used in haute couture.
And, like in haute couture, the pressure was high, because a damaged film strip could mean having to shoot the entire scene all over again.
Because many people saw film editing ā or cutting, as it was called then ā as unglamorous, secretarial work, it proved to be an easier entry point for women in the industry. And it gave them a lot of creative control.
Being an editor often means being unoticed by the audience, but an editor's choices can make or break a movie. Artistry is involved.
Proportionately, there were more women employed in every aspect of the movie business during its first two decades than at any time since.
Women also had to learn to use the machines, which were constantly evolving,
When the industry started using magnetic strips, editors of both sexes used microscopes to try and edit them, but it proved difficult for all of them. And messing up meant re-editing the entire movie. There was no room for error.
However, when the industry started using computers to edit the videos, which meant you could correct your mistakes and dexterity wasn't needed anymore, men started taking women's place. Despite the fact that computers were also initially made by women.
As film work became a more prestigious occupation, and eventually as the assembly-line practices of the studio system were codified, women were discouraged from pursuing editing, if not actually pushed out of jobs.
Nowadays, only 30 to 50% of editors are women, which is still the profession that counts the most women in the industry.
More recent movies edited by women include:
Pulp Fiction, Oppenheimer, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Wizard of Oz, Moonlight, The Wolf of Wall Street, Singin' in the Rain, Jaws, E.T, Happy Feet, Bonnie and Clyde, Star Wars, Inglourious Basterds, Reservoir Dogs, The Departed, Scream, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Lives of Others, The Hurtlocker, Apocalypse Now, The Irishman, Goodfellas, Lawrence of Arabia, etc.
Women also edit documentaries, such as Kim Roberts who edited the remarkable Food, Inc., The Hunting Ground, Unrest and Victim/Suspect.
And of course, women also edit content for the internet, as well as live TV, news reports, concerts etc.
Differences in politics & terminology: 2nd Wave vs. 3rd Wave WLM listed by Carol Hanisch and referenced at the panel: "A Revolutionary Moment Session 2: How to Defang a Movement ..."
Siiiiiiii sigh sigh.
Every young feminist needs to read this. It clearly spells out the difference between the radical womenās liberation politics many of our strong mothers fought for versus the depoliticised postmodern third-wave feminism of today.
Every day Iām trying to recover my body and my experience from the āwhat is a woman anywayā politics of third-wave feminism. I have found the radical feminist Adrienne Richās idea of thinking through the body to be very therapeutic. āTo think like a womanā Rich said āmeans remembering that every mind resides in a body; remaining accountable to the female bodies in which we live; constantly retesting given hypotheses against lived experience [ā¦] to begin taking charge of our lives.ā
As a curator, all these people saying museum are expensive...the one I work at is $3 to enter. But there are also plenty of free museums in my area. If you are saying museums are expensive you need to open your eyes to the world of museums beyond big institutional ones. There are so many small, historical houses, historical parks, little art galleries, out there that are free or have small fees. There are also museums that have free or discounted days. There are museums that offer student discounts, senior discounts, military discounts, museums that offer free or discounts if you have SNAP benefits.
Almost all museum memberships have reciprocal benefits. It's a little more up front, but if you become a member at one museum (It's usually like $50 for a year) you get a membership card and there's usually a list of other museums that card will get you into for free.
Also you can always sign up to be a volunteer. Then you can look at the stuff all the time for free. I got my start 10 years ago as a volunteer, fell in love and made it my career.
Anti-suckling braces are attached to the nostrils of cattle. The anti-suckling brace prevents calves from nursing with mothers or other cattle.
The prevention device clamps on the nose by means of a screw. Some have spikes to ensure that the cow rejects the calf's efforts at suckling.
If you search for āanti-suckling device calvesā online you will find dozens of these for sale.

I want you to really fucking think about this. Raping cows. Corking their babies mouths and blocking them from getting milk because you want to sell/buy that mums milk. Ignoring the babies frustration and the mothers braying. Auctioning off the babies to butchers or locking them in crates for veal.
There is nothing more evil than the animal ag industry. Mind and heart breakingly evil. It sometimes drives people, old people, kids, people of all ages and walks of life to suicide just to know the intimate details of it, of which there are many. From the anus shockers, impregnation cages, chick blenders, electric prods, to the anti sucklers and individual calf hutches, to the cruelty of the most "humane" slaughter methods (like co2 which is NOT an inert gas and causes respiratory acidosis and is incredibly painful) Stop giving this fucked industry and these fucked people money. And yes these practices are used on small farms as well. As an animal rescuer I can promises you small farms are often worse than factories.
Hey, random writing tip: Instead of having something be a ridiculously unlikely coincidence, you can make the thing happen due to who this particular character is as a person. Instead of getting stuck on "there's no logical reason to why that would happen", try to bend it into a case of "something like this would never happen to anybody but this specific fucker." Something that makes your reader chuckle and roll their eyes, going "well of course you would."
Why would the timid shy nerd be at a huge sketchy downtown black market bazaar? Well, she's got this beetle colony she's raising that needs a very specific kind of leaf for nest material, and there only place to get it is this one guy at the bazaar that sells that stuff. Why would the most femininely flamboyant guy ever known just happen to have downright encyclopedic knowledge about professional boxing? Well, there was this one time when he was down bad for this guy who was an aspiring professional boxer...
I know it sounds stupidly obvious when written out like this, but when you're up close to your writing, it's hard to see the forest for the trees. Some time ago I finished reading a book, where the whole plot hinges on character A, who is 100% certain that character B is dead, personally getting up and coming down from the top rooms of a castle, to the gates, at 3 am, to come look at some drunk who claims to be this guy who died 17 years ago. Why would A do that, if he's sure that B is dead?
Because he's a Warrior Guy from a culture of Loyalty And Honour, and hearing that someone's got the audacity to go about claiming to be his long-lost brother in battle, there is no other option than to immediately personally go down there to beat the ever-loving shit out of this guy. Who then turns out to actually be character B, after all.
Me: Theodore Robert Bundy was an American serial k-
Girls after watching The Ted Bundy Tapes:
Whaaaaat the fuck? God forbid you mention that someone is a serial killer. You might ruin a fangirlās twisted dream.
Is it just me or is idealising and romanticising a serial killer likeā¦peak female socialisation?Ā
Iām interested in the theory, please explain
Okay bear with me because this is probably going to be poorly worded. But the complete surrender to the inevitability of male violence, seeing the serial killer as someone who has numerous redeeming traits and seeing the murdering side as an inconvenient, yet thrilling caveat? BeingĀ āthe only one to understand himā. Even complete surrender to your utter dehumanisation, not just to be seen as a sex object, but to be quite literally destroyed and taken apart for the sake his thrill. Women have been groomed to find that kind of threat compelling, imo.
Also, they see other women quite literally as theĀ āotherā. When female socialisation is truly successful women find no comradery with each other, they only imagine that the victims mustāve done something that they themselves would never do to get killed. They feel like they are witnessing the righteous judgement of a man destroying a stupid woman, but if only that man had met her, then he would change.Ā
Why be scared of a man killing you if you can just pretend that itās hot? In not addressing the real life threat of male violence that looms over every woman every day, romaticising a serial killer is a way to feel some kind of control over the unpredictable nature of a very real threat.
