I recently did a class project on the female body and how to gain confidence as a woman. Basically I told my class that their worth isn’t based on beauty and I also talked about all the cool stuff women’s bodies can do and how it works. I explained things like cellulite and why women have it (because our bodies need it to keep us alive because we’re important. It’s the reason men don’t have it ;) ) and how the vagina is a self cleaning system. I talked about the beauty industry. I talked about how the women in my class are allowed to take up space and be loud. I talked about fordyce spots and how they’re normal and I talked about cutting toxic people out of their life who deserve it. They even listened to me when I talked about shaving and makeup not being a choice, and they all agreed that it’s damaging to your self confidence to be afraid of living naturally with hair and no makeup.
I made a small zine decorated with embroidered uteri and felted vulvas in different shapes and sizes to show that all vulvas are different. I also put in my whole presentation as well as a few paragraphs on why pornography is harmful with all my sources. I left some pages blank so people could write stuff down and after they were done writing in it I read stuff like “I have a vagina and I’m proud” and tbh it was amazing. I’m so glad I was able to help my classmates out and I also did this all while two libfems in my class who hate me because I’m a “terf” watched, and they could do nothing about it.
I poured two months of work, researching and preparing into this project and it paid off exactly how I wanted it to. After class people were coming up to me to say how amazing they felt, how they learnt so much about themselves, how they’re less ashamed of their bodies because of me. Every time I think about my project, I feel so accomplished and I’m so glad I’ve impacted at least one woman’s life for the better.

More shows should be like AMC’s “The Terror”. “Oh, you mean they should be tightly written and make heavy use of metaphor and symbolic imagery to communicate truths about complicated characters in high-stakes situations?” No. I mean more shows should strand their main characters in the remote arctic and have them eat each other
Why isn't radblr talking about Adriana Kuch
this is unbelievably cruel.. n the attackers gloating n still talking badly of her after she died.. repulsive. the school should face consequences bc they’ve dealt with this horribly. they advised the parents to keep the girl home so her bullies don’t mock her instead of… holding the bullies accountable??? what kind of logic

Radical feminists should not be allowed to post about Marsha P. Johnson. She did not wear being a woman like a costume; she embraced it with her life. She gave to the community until she died. If you can look at Marsha P. Johnson and not take trans people seriously, you don't have the right to talk about us like a serious issue you know about. You wouldn't know a thing.
Why should we not talk about it? This way no one could talk about any topic, isn't it right? Just simple logic. If you look up, because there're plenty of evidence, Marsha P. Johnson was a drag queen, so a MAN that dress as a woman for entertainment. He never claimed to be a woman because he identified himself as gay, so a man attracted to other men. Just a simple research on internet and you can find anything you want :)
Us radfems do plenty of researches, but trans people never try to find (they just ignore) the real definition of woman.

I miss the days when, no matter how slow your internet was, if you paused any video and let it buffer long enough, you could watch it uninterrupted
“When men talk to me, they look at my chest. It doesn’t matter if I wear a turtleneck. I am being undressed in their minds. If I wore a trash bag, they’d probably be all the more grateful. Plastic is easier to rip through, anyhow. My teacher told us to make sure not to wear low cut tops during examinations. She’d seen with her own eyes, she said, male invigilators peering down shirts under the guise of looking at exam scripts. Thank you. I will remember. I went to buy soup at the hawker centre and the man asked if I wanted milk in my soup. I shook my head no. His colleague said something in dialect. I understand dialect. He doesn’t know I do, thinks I’m a silly teen who’s forgotten her roots, the sam sui women, the orang asli. He says, she doesn’t need the milk, and nods towards my breasts. Both of them turn to stare. I stare back. They meet my gaze and look away, ashamed. I know he knows I understand. He asks me if I do. I say yes, and he hands me my food in silence. I walk away and wonder if they’re looking at my ass. I walk faster. They weren’t embarrassed because of their thoughts or the way their eyes strayed. They were embarrassed because they were caught. I wear mostly black now, to draw attention away from my chest, and also in mourning for my girlhood. I was 15.”
