fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this

Kinda funny how a woman’s place is in the kitchen until they’re a chef, a woman’s role is to care for others until they’ve a doctor, and a woman is expected to effortlessly manage households but not businesses or corporations. It seems that a woman can do anything except be in a position of power.

"It's so fucked up women have to do sex work to survive" so trueee it's so fucked up we live in a capitalist society where you need to do work you don't want to do just to be alive. I'm so glad we're talking about ALL the jobs that are forced onto people, especially women, that are full of harassment. Thank God we're not just focusing on jobs that are already heavily stigmatized and shaming women for doing what's necessary to survive, even though every single person has to do that but for some reason it's immoral when it's a stripper instead of a fast food employee

not to be a conspiracy theorist but i think the justice system turning all the most famous rapists and pedophiles into giant news spectacles and then letting them off scott free is an intentional intimidation and humiliation tactic against survivors and also against society as a whole

No you're right and you should say it

Lol, what?  Men constantly divorce women and start new families with different women.  And unlike in work, where it’s illegal to fire you for your age or reproductive status, men will absolutely divorce you for being too old or if you can’t give him biological children.  Even worse, a woman who gives birth to a daughter is nearly 5% more likely than a woman who gives birth to a son to have her husband ask for a divorce. Parents with three daughters are 10% more likely to get a divorce than parents with three sons.

^^^ When a husbands standard for a wife is reliant on her appearance, fertility, and sexual availability, wives will 100% be replaceable at home. Men prove every day how easy it is to replace women (look at how they make sex dolls now, to replace real women). That's how your "loving" husbands see you.

ahh i love the smell of "forcing women to chose between two options where men are never asked to choose"

Yeah, why doesn’t this same thing apply to men? Or, actually, the reverse? Are men replaceable at home?

Read it a long time ago, so don't quote me, but apparently the most common primary care-giver after the biological mother is the stepmother. So uh, irreplaceable? Your husband doesn't think so.

people on tumbler dot corn will be like "you really think veganism will change anything? that's such bourgeois thinking, which pales in effectiveness to my revolutionary strategy: doing nothing"

Me when i think the only way to save the enviromwnt is to stop eating meat ignoring how exploitive plant agriculture is and how under capitalism it doesnt even matter what you consume if its all imported anyways.

When you're talking to the average young woman, you get the feeling that you're never alone with her, it may just be the two of you, but a gun is being held to her head by popular internet politics/activism at all times. She'll start using some buzz words and repeating disingenuous mantras, and you'll be shocked, and start looking around for cameras like you're being Punk'd. Girl we're alone, the thought police aren't going to arrest you for admitting a real problematic opinion. Do you not trust anyone? Young women are functioning as stilted repressed versions of themselves, afraid of being hated for speaking a single unsanctioned opinion. This is no life.

"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

Someone just told me being vegan was unethical because of all the deforestation to grow soy crops. Like do people really believe the amazon was destroyed so vegans could eat tofu lmao
