The Connection Between PTSD and the Menopausal Transition

black femininity is like femininity on steroids. like if you think it takes ages to adhere to femininity as a white woman, black women are putting in more hours (with even lower average incomes). because being feminine or womanly also means being more white. from "hair care" to "skin care" black women have to edit their appearance to not just look less "manly" but less black. endlessly paying for the sin of being a woman and a black woman on top of that.

and all that work just to get fetishized by gross jakeys at the end of the day.

you know why it’s so critically important to celebrate women over the age of 40? 

because young women and girls need role models. need someone to aspire to become as they age. 

as it is, society basically tells girls and young women: aspire to be 18-22. do not aspire or imagine past that, for you are useless without youth and beauty. do not aspire to be wise, or strong, beautiful without youth, or valuable with lines and wrinkles. and THAT is scary. we put a cap on aspirations for girls, because we want them to think the ideal comes and goes by 20–when really, we’re at our best for many, many years beyond.

Reclaiming these words is a male supremacy linguistic trick to make women participate in their own humiliation.

It's 0:39 and I'm still working on fucking exercises I do not understand, I'm shaking because I don't have that much energy left, I want to throw up and I'm so angry after people who pretend to care about me but clearly don't

Stop using a misogynistic symbol thinking you’re a girlboss.
