I can't think of a name

she was granted asylum in Canada after leaving prison and never really recovered mentally. she was isolated and depressed. she committed suicide on june 14th 2020.

don’t let anyone fool you that lesbians are the “less oppressed of the LGBT”. don’t let anyone fool you that our pain isn’t real. that straight men can suffer the same things as us because they said they are ‘queer’.

don’t let women like Sarah be ever forgotten.

Cleopatra didn't start any wars. I've literally never heard her described as a "warrior queen" before; she was known for her intelligence, diplomacy, charm, and romantic pursuits.

The Song of Deborah is from the Old Testament (not exactly a historical text, but ok), and describes a warrior, Jael, who fights back against the men who invaded her city (she won). How is this "starting a war"?

Queen Artemisia is literally known almost exclusively for telling Xerxes I, King of Prussia, not to wage a naval battle with the Greeks (she was right).

Gregoria Apaza was an indigenous woman who helped lead an uprising against Spanish colonial rule in Bolivia.

Toypurina was an indigenous woman who helped lead an uprising against Spanish colonial rule in California.

Lorenza Avemanay was an indigenous woman who helped lead an uprising against Spanish colonial rule in Ecuador.

It is deeply fucking insane to accuse indigenous women who fought against Spanish colonisation of "starting wars". The Spaniards who set out colonising far and wide, torturing and killing women and children for fun, were MEN and those MEN definitely started those "wars" (genocides).

@here2causeproblems, I don't know where you got that list, but it's pretty embarrassing that you either found it randomly and didn't bother to fact check it . . . . or else you wrote it yourself.

I saw that the satan's head was likened to a uterus and men shared a lot of posts about it.

The uterus has always been treated as if it were the work of the devil and a sin, that's why I love these works of art so much, I love femininity. I don't ashame about being woman im literally in love even it is hard.

“in the past women didn’t get education” VS “in the past, men stopped women from getting education and excluded them from all cultural spheres”.

“muslim women must wear hijab” VS “muslim men force muslim women wear hijab”.

“in this country, abortion is illegal” VS “men in this country made women getting abortion illegal”.

lesbian lifts suggesting to her followers that this account on instagram which doesn’t even talk about radical feminism or mention trans women by name, but simply dares to define lesbianism as female homosexuality spreads terf rhetoric and should be unfollowed. wow this lesbian lifts lady really is passionate about making sure dick is included in lesbianism.

anyway go follow the instagram account lesbian_herstory she posts some really good stuff on her stories, submissions from lesbians who feel the same way we all do

I put it off for so long and had a lot of wrong ideas about the community only to find out almost none of them were true. Patriarchy fucks with your perceptions and the internet isn’t an accurate representation of anything.

I bet the same thing happens in Belgium and Netherlands too.

Make sure no man can make any health decisions on your behalf if you live anywhere with euthanasia laws. Because you are one health issue away from being murdered and he will never answer for it.

But she rescued many other girls and led to laws offering protection.

But she never found her daughter Marita. Who was on her way to a doctor's appointment when she was abducted and forced into prostitution.

Hopefully before she passes away she finds out what became of her daughter.
