It’s So Unnecessary. I Hate How The Patriarchy Has Created So Many Insecurities 😭😭

Want to be a girl's girl? Prioritize women, it's easy!

Want to read a new book? Buy books by women authors! Need a mechanic? Go to a woman's auto shop! Want to see a new movie? See a movie directed by a woman! Need a haircut? Go to a woman stylist! Need a cake for a birthday? Go to your local woman baker! Are you in college or at work? Make friends with the girls there! Support them and create a circle of women, you won't regret it!

The best and easiest way to be a girl's girl is to prioritize and choose women, there are women who do everything, choose them and support their work and endeavors, it costs you nothing and means everything to them!

“It's one of patriarchy's perfect self-perpetuating cycles: the demonisation of older women ensures we do not wish to identify with or learn from them, so cannot gain any knowledge to prepare us for our own experience of ageing. Instead we turn away from our future selves.”

- Hags, Victoria Smith

Me and the random girl I dreamt about

a place where I’m allowed to love you

me

how “feminists” look at me when I say that feminism shouldn’t be centered around how many female CEOs exist because that’s a capitalist value and capitalism directly benefits from the oppression of women.

how “feminists” look at me when I mention that the 🌽 industry isn’t in any way empowering for women. there is no way to prove consent was given. there is no proof that the woman wasn’t trafficked. there’s no proof that the woman isn’t a minor. OF reinforces that women and our bodies can be bought for a couple of dollars a month.

how “feminists” look at me when I say that if SW is the only way for a woman to make money, then it’s not a choice but a last resort.

how “feminists” look at me when I say that even though all women have a right to decide what they want doesn’t mean that some of those choices aren’t influenced by misogyny.

how “feminists” look at me when I say no, I will in fact not support or respect any religions that believe women are sinful and an inferior gender just because they were born as women.

how “feminists” look at me when I say that only feeling empowered when you’re in full glam and conforming to beauty standards you are in fact not empowered but instead cowering under the pressure and expectations put on you.

how “feminists” look at me when I say that using Afghan womens’ oppression and dehumanization as study motivation isn’t as cute as they think.

how “feminists” look at me when I say that it’s useless to only complain about “pick me girls” instead of recognizing why they act that way (the pressure to get male validation)

“Menstruation is the only blood / that is tied to creation but you / prefer the kind that is tied to death / because the red dripping from a / man’s head is strength but the red / dripping between a woman’s thighs / is filth even though that is the only kind / that brings life.

But boy, remember that / those red waves are / how you have air in / your lungs to state that / the red of our bodies / doesn’t belong.”
