More coffee, please!

so the concept of ‘phallocentrism’ in french feminism refers to the idea that women are what men lack. and the widespread notion that the vagina is a hole is a symptom of that, because holes are incomplete and lack something. to that end, we have to rethink what a vagina is that isn’t fundamentally in the form of a ‘lacking’ because it doesn’t ‘lack’ anything like a hole does. its primary function isn’t just an ‘unfilled’, empty space like a hole is. bitch when i tell you my third eye opened !!! 👌🏿💯🔥😩😩😩📢📢🔥🔥💯💯

There’s an excellent short piece I’ll look up when I get home (written I think by a woman with the last name Martin?) called “The Egg and the Sperm” about how coded the language around this is. Specifically the idea that sperm are active, eggs are not avtive, and that sperm are produced lifelong whereas eggs are not, even though an egg has to be prepared actively every month.

WHERE IS SHE?

We have won the impossible, improbable lottery of birth. And we don't know what will happen. We never can. There's no skill in birth and death. At the beginning and at the end, luck reigns unchallenged. Here's the truth: most of the world is noise, and we spend most of our lives trying to make sense of it. We are, in the end, nothing more than interpreters of static. We can never see beyond the present moment. We don't know what the next card will be and we don't even know when we see it if it's good or bad. […] You can't control what will happen, so it makes no sense to try to guess at it. Chance is just chance: it is neither good nor bad nor personal. With out us to supply meaning, its simple noise. The most we can do is learn to control what we can our thinking, our decision processes, our reactions. “Some things are in our control and others not,” writes the Stoic philosopher Epictetus in The Enchiridion. "Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.” If we cannot do it ourselves, we cannot control it. We control how we play the hand, how we react to its outcome, but that outcome itself - that, we don't control.
