I’m fucking crying with laughter right now, genuine tears in my eyes

I am unhappy with how perfectly this works.

I refuse to believe that this wasn’t the backup song for in case Zep refused to let them use Immigrant Song.

Audre Lorde saying “what woman here is so enamored of her own oppression that she cannot see her heel print upon another woman’s face?” has been my mood for the last few weeks

When your feminism isn’t intersectional

Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl. There are only fake geek boys. Science fiction was invented by a woman.

Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.

Isaac Asimov.

yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point

And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.

Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.

You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.

I have literally been telling people this for over a year.

the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman

The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).

The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.

Women invented language while men were hunting. I mean…

THISSS. THANK YOU TO INTRO TO WOMENS TEXTS FOR TELLING ME THAT I COULD LOVE SCIENCE FICTION BECAUSE WOMEN USED SCIENCE FICTION AS A WAY TO TALK ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES LIKE REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS WITHOUT BEING PENALIZED IN SOCIETY

girls dont mature faster than boys, girls are punished from an early age for the same behaviour that boys are allowed to indulge in well into adulthood

AU where Erik Killmonger was brought back to Wakanda and grows up to be T’Challa’s anger translator.
