Lilith remains innocent

is wanting to be a wife and mother a requirement for being a woman?

why might OP be annoyed with replies assuming that this post is about being aroace or transmasc if a woman doesn’t want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to sexuality and romantic interest that might make a woman not want to be a wife or mother?

are there reasons unrelated to gender identity and expression that might make a woman not want to be a wife and mother?

core concept: what is gender essentialism?

is it gender essentialism to imply that all women inherently want to be wives and mothers? could this be what OP is critiquing?

look at the notes OP responds to. is it gender essentialism to imply that being a wife and mother is so affixed to womanhood that to not want to be those things means you’re incapable of sexual/romantic feelings, or not a woman?

how bout we bring this bad boy back? as a designer, the black/brown/trans stripes are fuck-ugly and very well intended but misguided.

gilbert baker also added a lavender stripe before his death to represent diversity that’s actually aesthetically well-reasoned:

How come instead of just flying actual BLM and black power stuff alongside the rainbow, we just tossed a brown and black stripe over the rainbow? I'll put the raised fist next to my rainbow happily because, idk, maybe I'm able to value them without swallowing their movement into mine.

Why did nobody add anything for disability advocation? Why didn't anyone add anything to support feminism? Why didn't we add anything to show we stood with the homeless LGB folks? If we could add the trans flag, the BLM colours, and the intersec flag, why didn't we add any of the stuff I mentioned?

I’m like, “that’s a cool story dude but biological sex still exists. Stop telling me irrelevant stories”

Context: for weeks/months, the usian government flirted with the "disclosure" idea (the revealing of human contact with aliens basically) by making the site aliens.gov and saying by official channels they were going to finally tell the truth.

Well, turns out their idea of "disclosure" of non human intelligence is by calling immigrants, aliens.

This is straight up horryifying: a government officially calling immigrants "it"; and stupid: they even used the X-files theme song.

their (live!) young gestate for. wait for it. eight to eighteen (??) YEARS. can have up to 10 at a time. good grief.

longest lifespan of any vertebrate, up to five hundred years

toxic flesh

has giant eyes but is usually blind because of a weird little crustacean that's evolved to live on and eat their eyes. this doesn't seem to bother them much.

lives in deep cold water and has the lowest swim speed and tail-beat frequency for its size across all fish species. just generally lives life in extreme slow motion

largest genome of any shark

eats everything including moose and polar bears

what i am tired of seeing is people mocking the effects of hormones (ie making fun of tif voices) or implying all tifs are stupid for buying into trans ideology (good for you that you avoided our fate, but many of us transitioned due to some combination of trauma and internalized misogyny. i would just hope for more empathy from fellow feminists)

-I was checking in two girls and knew something was off and asked to see both their ID’s. Only one had a passport and her 18th birthday was literally a week ago. The other one handed me her high school student card. We had to call the police when their pimp came in and started making threats bc we refused to check them in.

-a sex worker checked in the night before and a housekeeper went into the room the next morning and found the woman in a bloody mess. There were chunks of human tissue scattered throughout the room (the housekeeper quit after that. Honestly, housekeepers are literally on the front lines of the bullshit but that’s another story)

-something about a “couple” was offfffffff at check in. The woman was standing with her hands behind her back, had her eyes glued to the floor, and wouldn’t answer questions despite her name being on the reservation. The man was answering for her. When I asked to see her ID, he hands it to me, and when I handed it to her, her arms were covered in bruises. We didn’t let them check in

-there are two properties and one of them has an agreement with a women’s shelter. I’ve checked in women into one property only to see them come in months later to the other property under the womens shelters’ reservation with bruises and broken limbs (many of whom are indigenous women).
