we're here because we're here

feminist retelling shoulsnt be the woman does some girlboss shit femist retelling is she does the same stuff except u actually give a shit abt her perspective and thoughts and feelings as a human being this time

kevin and andrews friendship is so underrated like they PROMISED each other everything and for a while it really was them against the world like miss me with any narrative that tries to downplay that fact 

like not to go off but kevin trusted andrew with his entire life like he literally bet everything on this boy and was the first person to look at him and see more like kevin day rooted for andrew minyard since day fucking zero when everyone else said crazy and wrote him off kevin day said potential and bet his damn life on it like can u imagine how strange how alien of a concept that was to andrew?? for someone to have that kind of unshakeable belief in him??? and THAT is why andrew would absolutely kill for kevin thank u and goodnight america 

Sorry we really went from free the nipple, take back the night, slut walks, and ending gender/sex segregation in sports being fucking milquetoast feminism 101 concepts to fucking girl dinner and "I just worry about fairness if we let trans girls play against cis ones" and "it was right of that woman to call the cops on a black man for existing near here in public during the day time because men are all violent monsters" and "radical feminism isn't transphobic we just need to kill all men including trans ones those oppressive traitors" and I will legit never be able to be normal about it. What the FUCK happened. I'd say I wonder what the feminists of my youth would say about this but I'm one and lemme tell ya I want to throw up. Go fucking read bell hooks or do something else useful please because all of this learned helplessness, gender essentialism, and transphobia dressed up as feminism is actively holding us back.
