Women's day coming up can't wait to answer "I'll be happy when you stop killing us" to all men who tell me "happy women's day!!!!"

Forever thanks to my parents for continuously shitting on all the helpless-princess-saved-by-prince and hypersexualised-japanese-girls-do-things cartoons throughout all my childhood 🙏🏻

Did your parents forbid you from watching certain cartoons? 

it's always "makeup is about self-expression," yeah why does your self-expression always include glassy skin and contour that makes your face look skinnier?

no girl, your full face of makeup with a vaguely unusual eyeshadow colour is not "men repellant", stop kidding yourself

Bring back women learning self-defense as an anti-fascism movement

Just saw the most frustrating post about "bringing back red lipstick as an anti-fascism movement" - the male CEOs of every major cosmetics company would LOVE that. You wouldn't be sticking it to any fascists by conforming to sexist beauty standards. Save your money, save your time, and fight fascism by, you know, standing up to fascist leaders and policies. Don't buy lipstick.

crazy how when I was a kid my classmates would ask if my mom was a boy because she had a buzzcut and now young leftists ask her for pronouns constantly 💀💀 (and she's not even androgynous, just a woman with short hair and no makeup)

also crazy how she's been telling people "women can have short hair, you know" for the past 40 years and people without fail look at her as if she was absolutely deranged

imagine going from being called "mean man hating lesbian" in your 20s to "mean transphobic old woman" in your 60s

The concept of gender affirming haircuts is crazy

how I look at the male who just confidently said something on a topic I know more than him about knowing I'm about to girl-splain it to him and get called a "cold bitch" after approx. 7 minutes

real!!

my mom works in academia while my dad was (he's retired now) a freelancer, so when they had me, he started working way less to take care of me/the house and when I'd tell my classmates (and teachers!) they always reacted like it was the most insane thing

one time in middle school a girl straight up told me that women should be just be housewives "because it's natural"

I think of her sometimes, I hope she realised that she wasn't born with a broom in her hand, just like her brother wasn't

"It's normal and unproblematic to have a desire to rape women and children and I'm entitled to having it available on my phone in order to not go through with the hassle of doing it in real life"

first of all this is false second of all you are like a terrorist to me

having a tumblr is not enough I need to shoot all abusive men

This is an absolutely insane take for a feminist.

Women stuck in abusive and violent marriages (which are really common in countries where women rights are practically non-existent, which, coincidentally, are the countries with higher immigration rates) have a much easier time leaving these situations if they're in western countries.

Daughters of undocumented immigrants deserve to live in countries where getting an education is not illegal.

Daughters and sons of undocumented immigrants deserve to live in countries where they won't get killed, raped and imprisoned if they're gay.

I don't care how they got here, if our half-assed western democracies can save even just one woman, that's all that matters.

Gonna be honest I support deporting illegal immigrants

I am once again asking for The Feminists in My Phone's blessing for my exam today

for reparation, you know

i want to shake many young women and say you can grow in private. and what i mean by that is that you don’t have to publicly self-flagellate when you don’t know something or when you say something a little insensitive or whatever else. you don’t have to report your Bad Thoughts and Ignorance to the crowd who waits to judge you. you do not have to pay penance. you do not have to issue public statements. nothing more is gained from burying yourself in shame than you could gain by thinking “oh i don’t know about this” and looking it up real quick, or thinking “hm, that wasn’t how i want to behave, i’ll do different next time” and then moving on with your life. no need to choke yourself with it.

I love being in a women-only fighting class but kinda miss being able to kick men when I was in a mixed one :(

Just a heads up: this is not true.

While homosexuals and gender non conforming people were persecuted by nazis, the reason Hirschfeld's institute was shut down was that he was Jewish and promoted the idea that homosexuality was not an illness, which was considered "jewish science".

It is important to remember the many victims of the Holocaust and nazism but it is also important to not bend history in order to fit a narrative.

And I'll say it again: homosexuals and gender non conforming people went through horrible things and it's important to share actual sources on that instead.

oh cool! 'girl math' is trending, I'm sure it's a celebration of the wonderful mathematical discoveries made by wom.. oh

oh wait

ok no nevermind

If school is catered towards women tell me why my parents had to fight with every PE teacher because I wanted to play the "boys sports" instead of doing boring ass pilates in elementary school

I get so pissed when people say this. The education system was literally created by and for men. Women weren’t allowed to get an education for hundreds of years. Women are still not allowed to get an education in certain countries. Every time women are better at men than something they blame it on “the system.”

and when you're equally cold they hit you with the: "oh my god don't be a bitch"

I think karma kinda exists because one time I was talking to a classmate about menstrual leave and he was against it because "muh just take medication your period isn't an excuse" and some time later we were taking the same exam and he complained about not passing it because he had an headache so I told him "womp womp take an aspirin" <3

when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

when I'm the only woman taking an exam I know I have to do well for the feminists in my phone

"thanks to men for raping this other woman instead of me 🤩🤩"

why is this such a common opinion?

why is "men will be unable to not rape unless they can buy access to a woman's body" something people just say without realising how insane that sounds

One of the lowest points of the leftist/feminist cultural landscape in my country, posting because I'm still mad:

So-called feminist author (a woman) runs one of the most important independent book fairs in Italy.

Last year's edition was dedicated to a young woman who was killed by her former boyfriend.

Also last year, this author (a man) was invited while being accused of domestic violence by his former girlfriend - this was widely known at the time of the invite.

Before being found guilty, he revokes his participation from the fair. Some time later (days or few weeks, I think), the matter is taken to court, they find him guilty.

Condemned to 4 years (because domestic violence is a joke for courts).

The woman organising the fair goes to the press and says "it's a shame that he revoked his participation, I will still hold the event and I'll talk about his book instead of him"

Some days later she apologies, the apology is along the lines of "we hurt your feelings, we're sorry, we're going to replace his event with a panel on feminism".

She's considered one of the most prominent feminist intellectuals at the moment in Italy.

He was considered an ally and constantly praised by other so-called feminist women in intellectual spheres.

what r ur opinions on youth liberation?

hoping I understood the question as it is quite general

I think the nuclear (and hetero-patriarchal) family model is fundamentally limiting for all people involved, especially women and youth - meaning children and adolescents (especially girls, once again).

The power that parents have over their children is deeply detrimental to their freedom and development. Violence against children is still used as an educational method, a widely accepted one, and lots of parents still consider their kids as property or, in the best case scenario, an extension of themselves. Getting out of abusive households is practically impossible, especially when economic means are lacking (and these are often the most critical situations).

In the past, I have advocated for practical measures (many of which were actually adopted in my hometown) in order to help young people gain autonomy and freedom, one of these was keeping high schools open during the afternoon (which isn't common in my country) with both organized and self-managed activities (tutoring, study rooms, psychological counsel, book exchange) in order to give kids in difficult situations a safe place for a few hours and also seek the counsel of people who could help them.

I was raised in an extremely liberal manner, my parents always treated me with respect and they managed to make me understand my responsibilities throughout life by talking to me in an age appropriate manner but never asserting their authority as adults, just as more experienced people. I'm really grateful but I realize that it's unrealistic to expect that all parents raise their kids well (despite it being their responsibility), which is why I talked about nuclear family in the beginning, I believe that true freedom can only be achieved by community.

nonna didn't have time because she was shooting fascists <3

honestly my study motivation is being able to maximise the number of men I can be condescending to

(jokes aside, I love explaining things to people who are interested - strangely, it's almost always women)

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart
