I Don’t Know Who Needs To Hear This, But I Just Want To Say, As Someone Who Used To Wear Acrylic Nails

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I just want to say, as someone who used to wear acrylic nails for at least a decade, they are such a fucking sham.

Growing up I was always fed the idea that nails meant you didn’t have to do anything? Which was supposed to be considered a good thing? Like “teehee I don’t have to do anything I’m so spoiled” but they try hiding from you how fucking fun it is to actually do things.

Ever shoot a gun? Fucking phenomenal. Hit your target? Feels fantastic. That aside, being able to take a gun apart, study how it works, and put it back together? Absolutely amazing.

Ever use a fucking power saw? Power tools in general are invigorating. Built a whole work bench in the detached garage. Talk about something being actually empowering.

I had to stop playing piano because of my nails. Who chooses fake nails over literally getting to create art?! Crazy. I can’t believe once upon that time I actively made that choice.

Gardening? Couldn’t imagine trying to do that with nails. Getting dirt stuck in there for days? Would feel horrible. Feeling self conscious when you go to get them fixed because of how dirty they are. I forgot how much I loved playing in the dirt as a child. I love the smell of soil. It makes you feel more connected to the Earth. I talk to my plants, I read to my plants. I love my plants.

Book Nooks! They’re models you get to put together. Super small parts. Glue needed. So far put together a model greenhouse and a model library. Would literally be impossible with fake nails. You feel so accomplished when you’re done. Takes about 6-8 hours to do most of the time. There’s electrical you get to put together. Sometimes you’re twisting wires together trying to get the lights on lol. Love those things.

Getting to work with your hands feels great. It’s freeing. Fake nails completely strips you of that. When I had nails on I had problems simply trying to button a blouse…. that’s depressing to think about.

I know basically all radfems know of this. So this is more for the cryptos. The lurkers. The ones in the shadows who are curious. Who want to learn.

Im telling you. You don’t know what you’re missing.

Women’s rights aren’t enough. I want women’s revenge. I want every man to feel the weight of every injustice they’ve ever put on us. I want them to wake up every day knowing the world is no longer built for them. That’s the only ‘equality’ I care about.

Perhaps in kindergarten my brother picked up from those little idiots the habit of calling boys "woman" in a derogatory manner. In my language it sounds different He has a speech delay and is a bit dumber than his peers, so I try in vain to wean him off it. When he calls me "woman" in a fit of anger, I laugh and rejoice. "Yes, I am a woman, I am great, I am cool. And you are a boy, a boy, ugh."

do these underage degenerates know that "woman" is more of a compliment than an insult. They won't be able to even come close to that ideal

I was scared of the day when I realized that my little brother was just like every other male, and that day came yesterday when he showed me "memes" he made with his friends about his female classmate being fat and ugly. They're 12. I feel so bad for the little girl. She had such a cute and genuine smile on the photo they used to make fun of her. She's just a little baby, and males in her class are already being so fucking terrible.

I told him that what he was doing was mean and that he should delete it, but he just brushed me off, and we haven't talked about it ever since. I swear, if I catch him doing something like this again, then I won't hold back on him.

You can really see "women see other women as enemies" it's female socialization. Back then, women were constantly pushed to hate each other. We saw it through movies, novels, everywhere. And everytime, everytime other women were painted in a bad light because they "were trying to steal our man"

All of this content were made by men themselves, they knew if women were busy fighting each other, they would never realize men are the actual cause of most women's struggles. They knew if we were together, we would be strong.

Now most women are aware of who they should be aware of. I see so many women supporting each other, and it makes me so happy.

Because of these trans inclusive radical feminists, I don't know what posts I can like. I usually look for the tags "terf" and "terfsafe" under the post. These tags let me know that I'm reading a real radical feminist, not a man in a dress who demands attention

Should a radical feminist refuse to wear a dress and skirt, just as she refuses to wear makeup, high heels and manicures?

I don't think non muslims and male muslims understand the extent of the oppression women face under islam. Women are seen as so sexual that our whole body some will even argue that even our face, hands and feet should be entirely covered, that our voice is too sexual, that even wearing perfume or jewellery makes us too sexual. It drives me insane how women are treated in islam every part of our body is treated like we're porn and its our fault if men are attracted to us. Women are treated like literal children Because men are our gaurdians, men control every part of our lives from who we marry to where we can go. Women are seen as forgetful and deficit in intelligence so were given half the inheritance a man is given, and we are half a witness a man is. And even after being treated like absolute shit in this world what do we get in the after life, we get to be the queen of hoors of our husbands we don't even get hoors, hell most of women don't even get into janna were sent straight to hell.

I will never support a terrorist organization. I know that the women of Gaza are suffering. And I sympathize with them just as I do with the women of Israel. Between Israel and Palestine, I will choose Israel, because the Palestinians will rely on Sharia and enslave Jewish women, renew their misogynistic laws and turn into a second Afghanistan. I don't support Hamas. I cannot take seriously a video where fat men from Gaza claim that they are suffering from hunger. I can't take a video seriously where a child who died of starvation is buried by a dozen fat men.

Но мужчины есть мужчины. Я также осуждаю действия израильских солдат, когда они причиняют вред палестинским женщинам. Свободу палестинским женщинам от ХАМАС! Безопасность еврейских женщин от ХАМАС!

As a Jewish woman I’m usually hesitant to post anything political with regards to the Israel-Gaza war but what happened with the hostages bodies in gaza is sickening. a baby and small child were strangled to death, and their mother’s body was not returned. btw that’s only one of the horrible deaths that happened to the hostages. people who think they’re freedom fighters are delusional, freedom fighters do not kill civilian babies with their bare hands

here is my stance on the war:

Jews and Palestinians should live in harmony in Israel in an ideal world. two state solution would work too, if only hamas cared about that (spoiler alert, they don’t. they just want to kill every israeli and jew, really anymore not supportive of them, they can find) (it would only work with a government that cares about its people) (best case could be just Israel with a unified government filled with people of different backgrounds)

Fuck Hamas

The innocent palestinian civilians deserve to live peacefully and safely (only way that can happen is without hamas)

The hostages should be returned. the Israeli government should have gotten them back ages ago, and it’s disgusting that this has gone on for so long

This is a very complicated and delicate situation

again, fuck hamas

the fact that people unfollowed me btw after I reblogged anti-hamas posts is very telling. continue to unfollow me, people who support hamas
