bought an e-cig today and feel like a fucking child yeah of course stupid fucking lungs you're not strong enough for real tobacco anymore ohh poor you let me get your pacifier
helloooo
just download tumblr again and saw a couple asks wondering where I was (thanks!!!)
a lot of things have been happening lately, mainly I'm busy writing my dissertation bc I'm about to graduate and my advisor told me she's going to be abroad for like a month so we have to cram a lot of the work now 😭😭 I'm having a lot of fun with that tho and have no stress university-wise
BUT ALSO next year I'm moving to another country to continue my studies and looking for a flat is absolutely draining me (the lack of dishwashers.......)
also, originally I took this kinda long hiatus from the blog bc I was organising some events and demonstration at my university, mainly feminism-related (maybe I'll write another post on that as well :))) ) it all went very well and I'm very proud
so yeah been doing lots of stuff but I admit I missed my radical feminist corner of this website 🫶🏻🫶🏻
what have you all been up to lately?????
I've been having the flu on and off for a month now
Being sick for anything longer than three days is unreasonable. Like okay, I get it, let's fucking wrap it up here
All I hear is "I see other women as props and I believe being a lesbian means assimilating my behaviour to that of a straight man while upholding patriarchal sexual standards so men still find me palatable"
Who actually believes this wattpad ass story
How do you cope with misogyny? I find myself getting depressed when I realize how much everyone hates women and that the world would never change.
meh I'm just really angry all the time.
Serious answer: I try to uplift/help/support the women in my life and I engage in activism and politics, I think it's normal to grieve what we could've had if we didn't live in a patriarchal system but our actions can and will be meaningful for so many women and that's something, it's a lot actually.
Less serious answer: I think of mysoginistic men when I hit the boxing bag hehe
Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline
We're not making it out of the patriarchy
It's funny bc I'm white but I've never turned to the KKK bc black people don't center me in their activism
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Feminists have never treated men the way mysoginists treat women, so yeah, I think this was abundantly clear.
Hello there! Dear tumblr user, did you know that "men as a class hold privilege and power over women" and "men are human beings who deserve basic decency" are two stances that can coexist :)
one time my university invited a motivational speaker and he started by talking about historical figures he found inspirational (like in business/economics) and then asked "what do they have in common?" and a girl in the crowd shouted "they're all men!"
Not sure who she was but I'll never forget her
remember when as kids my male cousins would make fun of me for growing body hair before them and would get offended when I told them they were just jealous
This mentality is really telling of the fact that you haven't done any politics or activism in real life.
I've been sitting with party representatives, union representatives and fellow members of movements I belong(ed) to for almost 10 years at this point.
Not a single one of these spaces didn't cater to males.
Engage in some politics outside of tumblr and/or niche organisations, I grant you your opinion will flip in 10 seconds max.

i'm currently on a train and i'm surrounded by women studying various stem things, maybe we'll make it out after all
OR people who don't think their voices deserve to be heard, or that feel like the political system is inaccessible to them.
I can't count how many times I've heard this from underprivileged women and girls.
People who ‘don’t do politics’ are so privileged. I said what I said.
Blue!
I too want to be friends with all the feminists in my phone, dms are always open :)))
I'm painting some of my jackets, design suggestions warmly encouraged (especially women/feminism related)!!!!!!!
do this thing !!!!!!
I made a "which mutual am I" thing so here you go💥💥💥
This was fun to make actually :]
Why is "patriarchy affects men too" always about men feeling ashamed of crying and never about gay (or "effeminate") teenage boys being subject to violence and corrective therapy by their families?
I'm all in favour of discussing how conforming to gender roles is a core belief of patriarchal ideology and gender non-conforming people (men too) are subjected to patriarchal violence.
But strangely "feminism is for everybody" is always about watering down feminist issues.
cultural relativism fans when they find out that all men-made power structures have oppressing women as a core principle: 😱😱
me: yeah I think all religions are bad and oppressive of women and we should hold them accountable for that.
libfem: …..even islam???
me: well yeah all religions.
libfem: that’s soooo racist and you’re clearly a white supremacist!!! you can’t speak out against misogyny if it’s from a different culture!! 🥺🥺
my working theory when reading elon musk news is that he watched house of cards and didn't understand who the bad guy was
being an overall skinny woman with some muscle on your arms condemns you to descend into hell whenever you have to buy a blouse/shirt
because beauty standards and shit
What 5 years of left wing mayor did to my hometown before the right came along and made it a wanna-be-american automobile hellscape again
How I’m tryna live quite frankly
"all girls are bad at math" <- actual real women are discouraged to pursue stem careers and if they do, they feel an enormous amount of pressure
"all women are bad at driving" <- actual real women are discouraged to get a driving license, which limits their freedom because they depend on husbands/fathers
"all men are trash" <- that one guy who's probably trash doesn't feel venerated in the niche leftist online space which he mistakes for real life
fixed it for you.
men: *create degrading stereotypes about women, abuse women, overall harm women* women: men fucking su-
people for some reason: WOWWWW THESE GENDER WARS HAVE GOT TO STOP 🥺 THESE ARE EQUALLY AS BAD
What's the context behind your profile picture? :)
So glad you asked!!
It's by italian photoreporter Tino Petrelli, it was taken around the 25th of April 1945 in Milan, after antifascist rebel groups liberated Italy.
After the liberation, these groups surrendered their weapons to the Allies as part of an agreement, which is what the women in the picture are doing (although the specific picture may be staged).
One of them is Anna Maria Leone, 17 at the time, who was part of the "Women's defense group", after the war she worked as an actress and writer and was active in the feminist movement. It's not clear who the other two women are.
sorry I did a little dance after finishing an exam today I will go back to being mysterious and cool and tough asap
I completely agree with the post and I see the place the reblog is coming from but I just want to address some things, don't read my response as rude as it is not my intention:
you CAN and WILL find safe and satisfying relationships; if you're a straight woman these are going to be friendships with other women because, I agree, the probability of finding happiness and respect in a relationship with a man is near zero (and we may as well take it to be zero because this is real life we're talking about)
we live in a patriarchal society, and men are actively taught and encourage to torment women in various ways, that's true: build walls around yourself, become physically and mentally strong, find a community in which to find comfort and protection
you have the power to be independent, you have the power to resist the constraints in which society tries to force you; find that independence and use it to help other women
statistically, every man is going to mistreat you, older men often have the financial means to make it harder for you to get out - an high-school boyfriend can get violent, an older man can do that + make it impossible for you to leave if you depend on him, it's not worth it
being alone is better sometimes; other people will damage you, sure, but again, you're going to find a community and often the damage a boyfriend/husband/occasional partner can do to you doesn't compare to that done by other people (excluding family members)
not everyone is a predator, most men are (probably all the ones you cross your path with) but most women aren't; you're going to find women who are nice to you because you're smart and interesting and fun
It’s extremely disturbing to see so many young girls obsessed with older men and actively seeking them out. Despite what you may have been told this is not normal or quirky and is a sign that you probably need therapy. That grown man that’s giving you attention isn’t lana del rey vinyl, he’s a predator. You’re a victim of patriarchal oppression that targets young girls.
