do it for her (your female ancestors)

Mental hospitals being mixed-sex is a human rights violation

This whole debate regarding the woman who got an abortion after learning the baby would have Down Syndrome is ignoring one crucial element: the woman. I’m seeing so much commentary on people with Down Syndrome, how they’re happy and have wonderful fulfilling lives. And that’s great! But a woman should not be forced to carry a pregnancy and give birth if she doesn’t want to. I don’t care how morally concerning her reasons are. Educating on disabilities to ensure that women are fully informed before making a decision on whether to continue a pregnancy is amazing…but it needs to be done without shaming her for choosing to abort.

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

why do men have this eternal fear of being used for money they don’t have lol

the "man-hating lesbians" are on your side. the "old hags" are on your side. the "bitter divorcee women" are on your side. the "bitter childless women" are on your side. the "evil heartless witches" are on your side. the "evil abortionist women" are on your side. the "terfs and swerfs" are on your side. men will always rather you think otherwise.

science has always been political. what gets studied. what doesnt. who gets to do the studying. on and on and on.

Always be hope-pilled. Things are fucking rough. Many of us have experienced horrors that are almost unspeakable. But still there is good in the world. Females from all walks of life organize, look after one another, and advocate for one another. We are beating men in educational attainment, birth rates are going down, more resources exist for domestic violence and rape. And there is pushback to all of this! But we need to push back harder and continue to support and look after one another rather than allow ourselves to fall into despair. I believe in us.

my beautiful wife, severe thunderstorm warning, is texting me 😌😚😍😍

working at a domestic violence shelter has forever grounded my feminism in the material reality of women’s lives and how we are impacted by (primarily male) violence. our participants also existed in intersections of class, race, ethnicity, mental health status, citizenship and more. it was such an honor to support as an advocate by taking crisis calls, walk ins, stripping rooms and setting them up for new participants, scheduling strangulation and rape exams, and talking to participants about their concerns and their successes. i recommend that any radical woman consider working or volunteering at a domestic violence shelter, women’s general unhoused shelter, or rape crisis line.

you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way
