plus, i had a conversation with a friend some time ago about eating dogs and cats vs other animals (i had seen a man online shaming people for eating dogs) and i was like “there’s really no difference between a dog and a chicken. meat is meat?” and people like to say “but you domesticate dogs” but what does that have to do with the fact that it’s meat? you know what i’m sayin? 😭

and also people are also like “why do y’all act like these animals have a family to go home to? it’s not that serious” first of all, god forbid people have a little fucking empathy, shit 🤨 i would hate to be a pig tryna be all muddy and fucking disgusting and then i get put in a house, walking around in my own shit, cramped up with other pigs then boom! i’m bacon.

idk i’m just talking. i couldn’t be vegan, especially not now, but maybe one day i’ll start being pescatarian and maybe work from there.

No your sons are not victims of toxic masculinity, m@le socialization and misogynist manosphere online, they are perpetrators. No you can't save your sons from being oppressors of girl children and women. We don't need more sons in this world, I mean look at the state around you. What makes you all think that m@le children can be rehabilitated

For once, call out m@le violence and stop making m@les victims of a system that benefits them. It is so apathetic towards girl children and women

The Ocean is a Woman Who Turns Stardust into Life (And Men Hate Her For It!) - digital collage

"In the villages, coastal regions, and agricultural heartlands of the Third World, environmental collapse is the daily, agonizing, and physical destruction of life. As prolonged droughts turn fertile earth to dust, as erratic floods wash away entire generations of crops, and as rising sea levels poison the freshwater table with saltwater, the male class does not adapt by altering its consumption. This visceral breakdown is clear in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, where rising sea levels push saltwater miles inland, permanently poisoning freshwater tables and destroying the rice paddies that local women rely on to feed their families (Dang et al., 2024). It is equally devastating across rural Pakistan, where catastrophic floods obliterate generational agrarian infrastructures, forcing families into desperate, climate-induced cycles of sex-based domestic violence and the forced marriage of young daughters (Haider, 2024). Global climate data confirms that these escalating eco-catastrophes do not cause the ruling class to alter their insatiable resource habits; instead, they shift the entire physical weight of this planetary crisis directly onto the shoulders of women (IPCC, 2023).

Women carry the burning burden of this environmental breakdown. Men designate women as the sole caretakers of life; they must walk miles each day across scorched terrain to find clean water. This concept is written directly onto the woman’s body—found in the permanent ache of her spine from carrying fifty-pound jerrycans under a blistering sun, the dust that coats her throat, and the raw blisters that score the soles of her feet. They must perform impossible domestic acrobatics to stretch diminishing food supplies to feed their children, often starving themselves so that others can eat. A woman’s stomach remains empty so that the patriarchal family unit can survive another day in the ruins. They care for the sick, the elderly, and the dying as climate-driven diseases spread and public infrastructure rots. As imperialist capital bleeds nature dry, the physical energy and labor required to sustain human life expands exponentially. The more the planet burns, the harder women must work just to keep their families from sliding into the grave. Yet, the male ruling class hoards and violently tightens their grip over wealth and resources through their domination of capital accumulation. Female labor performs the work that keeps the species alive, while men monopolize the authority that dictates the conditions of that survival. They have made women the shock absorbers of a burning world while they sit safely atop the wreckage."

"As the land dies and can no longer support agriculture or human habitation, displaced populations are forced to flee, migrating into border zones, urban slums, and crowded refugee camps. This material expulsion is accelerating across planetary frontlines like the Central American Dry Corridor, where multi-year droughts have collapsed subsistence farming, and the Lake Chad Basin, where rapid desertification has completely erased agrarian livelihoods, turning millions of farmers into climate refugees (UNEP, 2023). This mass displacement is a deliberate, engineered containment strategy. The phallocracy constructs these borders to serve as a cage, locking away the human victims of its own ecocidal destruction so that the centers of imperialist and colonial wealth accumulation remain undisturbed. Within these camps and externalized border zones—such as the Western-funded militarized interception networks and informal containment points across North Africa—survival is fully militarized, bureaucratized, and weaponized. Armed guards, border officials, humanitarian directors, and police officers—architectures dominated entirely by men—control access to life itself. They hold food rations, life-saving medicine, basic shelter, and vital legal paperwork behind endless bureaucratic lines, checkpoints, and discretionary permit systems (Gerard & Pickering, 2014). A woman’s survival in these spaces is reduced to repeated, degrading, and dangerous encounters with male authority. Because men hold absolute, unchecked power over the bare necessities of life, compliance to them becomes the literal price of staying alive. <...> The conditions experienced by Palestinian women in Gaza vividly expose this relationship with particular severity. The targeted destruction of hospitals, water systems, sanitation infrastructure, and reproductive healthcare facilities has left thousands of women without access to prenatal care, contraception, menstrual hygiene products, or safe childbirth conditions (ActionAid International, 2024; UN ESCWA, 2024). Under these catastrophic conditions, severe shortages of sanitary products have forced many Palestinian women and girls to use torn fabric, old clothing, or even scraps of tents to manage menstruation under forced displacement—routinely stripped of reliable access to clean water, basic privacy, or adequate sanitation facilities (ActionAid International, 2024). The ecological destruction of Palestine demonstrates the convergence of militarized environmental devastation, imperialist-colonial violence, and patriarchal vulnerability. Access to clean water, healthcare, sanitation, electricity, and reproductive safety becomes politically controlled and weaponized through siege, occupation, and deliberate infrastructural destruction. This systematic devastation manifests as what feminist Sylvia Federici (2004) identifies as the ongoing, violent nature of capital accumulation: a structure where the formal economy only survives because the state externalizes the raw cost of physical survival onto the uncompensated, agonizing, and unwaged labor of women. The colonial war machine is not merely asserted through bombs and bullets, but through the deliberate, sadistic engineering of biological squalor. Women’s bodies ultimately absorb the brunt of imperialist warfare through the systematic denial of reproductive care, severe escalation in sexual violence, and acute physical illnesses born from exhaustion and deliberate malnutrition."

"The division is plain: our male relatives sat comfortably in the air-conditioned living room, while the women spent hours hidden away in the kitchen or the backyard, burning over the stove fire to accommodate them. The domestic hearth operates as an unmapped colony, a space where women are drained of their physical energy to maintain the leisure of their male relatives. Power chokes women from both sides in a coordinated, multi-layered vice. Men rule survival externally through “humanitarian” institutions and bourgeois states and their military forces, and internally within the family unit. Men govern the macro-structures of society and the micro-structures of the home, while women perform the exhausting, invisible, and uncompensated physical work necessary to keep humanity alive and society functioning. Across refugee camps and household walls, the logic of climate collapse is absolute and unchanging: men control the resources while women do the work to survive. The ruling-sex acts as the wasteful, destructive rulers of survival, while relying entirely on the labor of women to clean up, manage, and absorb the shockwaves of their destruction."

"Climate collapse cannot be solved through paperwork, international treaties, recycling campaigns, or polite liberal reforms. Those destroying the earth are the same forces that compound women’s subordination. Environmental destruction and the systematic exploitation of women are not separate issues; they are the twin engines of global imperialist extraction. The ruling-sex treats both the earth and the female body as infinite, disposable resources to be mined until exhaustion. They rape the soil and they rape the female body, driven by the same exact phallocratic entitlement that demands total mastery over all living things. We cannot save our earth without dismantling the structures of male domination that govern it. To stop the ongoing murder of our planet, we must break their chokehold on survival itself. We must refuse to perform the unpaid labor that keeps their dying, ecocidal system running. We must dismantle the financial strangulation of the Third World by the First, the bourgeois boardrooms, and the phallocratic family unit that traps us in states of manufactured dependency. The survival of the earth requires a total, unyielding strike of the womb and the hand—the absolute refusal to make more toxic waste for women and children to sort, the absolute refusal to breed the next generation of exploiters and workers, and the absolute refusal to absorb the shocks of their violence. Our collective non-cooperation is the ultimate weapon, a sovereign reclamation of the future that will starve their global machinery of its fuel. The only path to a living world is the absolute destruction of male rule; to save our earth, we must reclaim ourselves."

Total Woman Victory Volume 2 Issue 3: Our Earth, Ourselves is OUT NOW! 🔗 in bio!

“Our Earth, Ourselves” is an ecofeminist theme unearthing the inextricability of the oppression of women and the destruction of the earth. Land, nations, and even Earth itself are commonly referred to with female terms, while extractivism, resource depletion, biospheric pollution, and the conquest of land mirror the male conquest of female bodies. Consumerism—including booming industries such as meat, makeup, fashion, and technology—exacerbates both female oppression and Earth’s destruction, deeply tying Third World women to their environment. This material connection has been mystified to justify our oppression. Over time, scientific data has vindicated ecofeminists who drew these connections decades prior. This issue further concerns consequences of AI, national subjugation, exploitation of land laborers, the linguistic and philosophical bases of female and environmental degradation, and more.
