every generation there’s a huge feminist breakthrough and then their is a huge misogynistic backlash. i didn’t fully realise that until we started experiencing this current backlash.. but the first generations breakthrough was the right to vote, then women having access to careers, university, bank accounts, being able to live our lives without a man’s presence or permission. personally, i think our generations biggest breakthrough was the metoo movement and bringing to light that rape, sexual assault and battery, drugging and abusing women are not at all rare nor women’s own fault like men have claimed. now we are in the current backlash but remember women have gone through this before and we came out the other side even stronger. remain vigilant and educated, there is still hope for women ❣️

growing up by the coast means that instead of crows on your roof you get seagulls and it honestly feels much more threatening
im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
What is feminism to you?
People who hopped on board with Johnny Depp and made fun of Amber Heard during the trial are seeing that the tide is turning in amber's favour and being like 'well we see now she was abused we just fell victim to a misinformation campaign it could happen to anyone' like... no <3.
I simply did not allow myself to just go along with an obvious smear campaign. I thought critically about the evidence put in front of me and used my fucking brain. Sorry if you can't relate. I simply looked at the slimy old man dragging his ex wife to court, playing audios of himself calling her a stupid fuck and saying she doesn't exist without him while giggling on the stand, and the whole arse legal case that proved he was a wifebeater back in fucking 2020, and used my basic common sense.
If you've realised all of the above recently, and are now pro amber, welcome to the club, but don't pretend that everyone on the internet was against her. There's literally someone on twitter who sent me a rape threat over me being pro amber now saying they fell victim to a smear campaign. like... you lot weren't the victims. Amber was. Y'all are the accomplices.
