-mind blow-

friend: oh like romantically?

me: no. like cursed object passed between hands for centuries, they are cosmically linked, probably bonded by blood ritual, I think they’ve fought in a war together in at least three lifetimes, and their souls make direct eye contact every time they breathe in the same room

friend: so… romantically?

Yet another situation where a woman of colour was questioned her femininity because she doesn’t fit into eurocentric ideals of what “woman” or “feminine” looks like.

Time and again women of colour are subjected to this ridicule and scrutiny and it’s downright disgusting as well as pathetically ignorant.

Woman of colour have more testosterone than white women. Women from low socio economic backgrounds sometimes look more masculine/physically fit than women from urban/wealthy backgrounds.

I’m sorry she doesn’t look like Barbie and can knock out her opponent in 46 fucking seconds. That doesn’t make her man. That makes her strong as fuck.

If you see a woman perform extremely well and possess God-like strength and immediately question whether she is actually a woman, maybe you’re not the feminist you think you are.

Maybe you just don’t believe in women at all.
