and despite all that, it's them running the cosmetic corporations, approving the ad campaigns, and shaping the female body to fit their gaze.

i never said that safe spaces are a 100% guarantee. it's about lowering the risk. yeah, a women-only cafe isn't a utopia, but it's a fortress against the main source of danger.

saying these spaces aren't needed is like thinking,"vaccines are pointless because you could still get sick."

when m*n open their own barbershops, gyms, or clubs, nobody calls it discrimination. it's just "the norm," it's even idealized as brotherhood and solidarity.

but when womyn take one tiny step towards autonomy, like opening a fitness studio or organizing a festival, collective hysteria begins.

Once you’ve said something there is no turning back. There is nothing you could legally do to undo that. That information is now part of someone else. They are free to do whatever they please with that information and you can’t control it.

If I’ve learned anything these past few years, it’s the importance of expressing yourself. For a long time I’ve believed that keeping your thoughts, opinions and emotions to yourself is the best way to go about things. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Even though various problems can be solved by yourself, more often than not, allowing yourself the help of others and letting yourself be heard without worrying that you’re burdening people with your problems can have a greater outcome than tackling things on your own. It can give you a new sense of comfort and open doors to new ways of thinking by communicating with other people.                                                                                                                                                         

“Every person that you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them – H. Jackson Brown. Jr.”

This has to be one of my favorite quotes. I remembered the first time I read it. I was taken aback by how simple it was, yet how much truth it held. It made me realize how important it was to talk to other people and how much you could actually learn from just speaking to only one person. Whether it may be small facts about themselves such as birthdays, favorite colors or how much they dislike olives. It’s still something that you didn’t know before and probably never would have known if you hadn’t spoken to them.
