one of the best things you can do for yourself as a woman is refuse to see your own suffering as virtuous. like no, the fact that you’re practically working yourself to death because your husband is useless and your basically a married single mom with an extra kid isn’t proof you’re a good mother.
no, the fact that you’re willing to let your boyfriend hit you during sex and call you names doesn’t make you a “cool girl”.
no, the fact that you pour hours of your time you’ll never get back and so much money into altering your appearance solely on an aesthetic level so you can be a “baddie” or whatever isnt a flex.
your life is yours, a solid sized chunk of us live very privileged lives as women where we’re allowed to obtain education, live independently, etc yet so many of us still actively make ourselves suffer is so infuriating, confusing, and disheartening. i want better for all of us. every single one of us.
FUCK
as a bengali girl one of the biggest reasons i used to think i was "nonbinary" was bc i was told it was normal to have an incongruence w/ womanhood bc of my race... who fed me this lie
why is womanhood based on a woman's proximity to whiteness?? why are women of color deemed less female for the not fitting standards made against us? and why is the solution to that to push us into some third gender instead of just abolishing gender itself?????
has anyone else experienced something similar??
Prostitution happens when one person wants to have sex, and the other person does not. If both people wanted to have sex, no money would need to be exchanged. Men use money to override your no. They have total and complete control of the dynamic.
Most prostitution is drug addiction and trafficking. I don't seen anyone empowered there.
Male: Women don't like playing games, women are soooo boring. Woman: I do play games. Male: "These games don't count!" or "Women can't play games, go back to the kitchen."
Male: You're a housewife so you're inferior. Woman: I have a career and work outside. Male: Oh so you're a slave of the government? i feel bad for you.
Male: Women's lives revolves around men, they only care about men. Woman: I'm working on myself and have no interest in romantic relationships. Male: You're so selfish! you will die sad and alone!!
Male: How am i supposed to know women suffer if they never say anything? Woman: Being a woman is difficult, i'm tired of misogyny. Male: Stop being dramatic feminist! Being a woman is paradise and i'm a better woman than you!!
When you realize males are below you, you start to care less and less about these phrases. Still, they can impact your mental health. Sometimes women hear these so often, they start believing and direct it to other women.
For men you will NEVER be enough, and you shouldn't try to be.
i wish that there were female only vacation resorts. even if there were i dont think id be able to go any time soon, but still. imagine how amazing that would be. no worries about creepy men at beaches. my dream
My misandrist, radical feminist awakening has me seeing every dimension of life as inherently misogynistic..I'm completely consumed by it.
