i’m like a clown that no one hired or pays

I really hate that for some reason the narrative became that women fought to join the workforce rather than women fought to have the same jobs for the same pay as men instead of being relegated to labour considered to be lesser and explicitly disallowed from many roles and professions. fuck off and die.

Women have ALWAYS been part of the workforce. Always. When we were hunter gatherers, women both hunted and gathered. When we began farming, do you think women just sat around staring at the ground all day? No, they fucking worked. They would strap their baby to their back and work in the fields, all day. When industrialization came to town, women worked. Sometimes longer hours and always for a lot less pay. We typed, we filed, we ingested poisonous substances to paint tiny little numbers on clocks. And became horribly disfigured from it. Fighting for equal rights didn't mean we suddenly "got" to work. It meant we fought to not be denied a promotion because we were women. It meant we fought to not be fired because we got pregnant. We fought to make a dollar for every dollar a man made in the same position, rather than 70 cents for every dollar. We still aren't done fighting because this shit is still happening right now.

DYKE UP OR DIE. #PRIDEMONTH.

we do have to contend with the fact that the reason there is this like perpetual conflation funnel that turns aave and other black dialects into 'gen z slang' and memes and the reason non black performers keep putting on blaccents and the reason pictures of black people just existing gets turned into memes is the same and its because its all minstrelsy.

manifesting for everyone to have a very lesbian summer

Being hairy is so awesome #mammal

"butch and femme are historically erotic identities" AND "no one should sexualize you without your consent" are two ideas that can and do coexist. someone just existing is not consent. do better

DYKE UP OR DIE. #PRIDEMONTH.

you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid
