Make a Difference

I really hate that for some reason the narrative became that women fought to join the workforce rather than women fought to have the same jobs for the same pay as men instead of being relegated to labour considered to be lesser and explicitly disallowed from many roles and professions. fuck off and die.

Women have ALWAYS been part of the workforce. Always. When we were hunter gatherers, women both hunted and gathered. When we began farming, do you think women just sat around staring at the ground all day? No, they fucking worked. They would strap their baby to their back and work in the fields, all day. When industrialization came to town, women worked. Sometimes longer hours and always for a lot less pay. We typed, we filed, we ingested poisonous substances to paint tiny little numbers on clocks. And became horribly disfigured from it. Fighting for equal rights didn't mean we suddenly "got" to work. It meant we fought to not be denied a promotion because we were women. It meant we fought to not be fired because we got pregnant. We fought to make a dollar for every dollar a man made in the same position, rather than 70 cents for every dollar. We still aren't done fighting because this shit is still happening right now.

I think people are uncomfortable by veganism because it asks them to actually give something up rather than just passively supporting an opinion. You can't just wait for petitions to sign, you actually have to change your lifestyle to be a supporter. for a lot of other causes, it's easy to convince yourself that you would help out should the opportunity arise, but if you aren't consciously perpetuating the issue or impacted yourself, you can easily just go about your life. but most people eat meat, so if you start to think about the animal agriculture industry too hard you can't keep doing it without a lot of cognitive dissonance. so if you just paint vegans as crazy people, you can just enjoy your hamburger in peace. problem solved!

I love these guys although they're also usually 10 feet long so I wouldn't call them little.

not the twitter migrants putting "reblog heavy" in their bios on here... like yeah. that's what we do here

if you live in {Not USA} and you make a tumblr post even slightly referencing what time it is where you live you will literally always have to deal with the "lucky 10 thousand" who dont fucking know what a time zone is
