mad woman

what im here for: little girls being allowed to cut their hair short and wear comfortable clothes so they can roll around and play. little girls never being asked about their theoretical “boyfriends” and not having the idea of having a boyfriend thrust on them. little girls having crushes on their best friend whos a girl and being able to be open about it. little girls being allowed to be themselves and be comfortable and be little kids.

being a woman in ur 20s is just constantly feeling rage on behalf of teenage girls

anyways if you’re racist then you can’t possibly be a good feminist. the majority of women are not white, but rather women of colour. if you do not care for most women & their well-being, you don’t care for women, you care for white people. you do not care about ending sex-based oppression, you care about ensuring white women are on equal standing with white men. when your feminism only serves white women, then it’s not for women as a whole, and not even for half of the female population. that’s not feminism, that’s just a repackaged form of white supremacy.

so much kink shit is just men trying to justify their desire to hurt women and pretend like they can go into a room, hurt someone, get off to hurting someone, and then walk out as if that doesn’t mean anything about who they are as a person

when gillian flynn said “I’ve grown quite weary of the spunky heroines, brave rape victims, soul-searching fashionistas that stock so many books. I particularly mourn the lack of female villains — good, potent female villains. Not ill-tempered women who scheme about landing good men and better shoes (as if we had nothing more interesting to war over), not chilly WASP mothers (emotionally distant isn’t necessarily evil), not soapy vixens (merely bitchy doesn’t qualify either). I’m talking violent, wicked women. Scary women. Don’t tell me you don’t know some. The point is, women have spent so many years girl-powering ourselves — to the point of almost parodic encouragement — we’ve left no room to acknowledge our dark side. Dark sides are important. They should be nurtured like nasty black orchids.”

it's not even about separatism per se, it's about prioritizing women. put women first. in everything. talk to women first. speak about women first. choose women first. give things to women first. put women first

Consciousness and camaraderie.
