One of the greatest lies the patriarchy has instilled into society is that, unlike men, women are allowed to show emotion.
Every single woman I know has been asked if she's on her period as a way to invalidate her feelings.
Every single woman I know has been told that she's overeacting because she's too emotional at least once.
One of the principal arguments against women in positions of power and leadership is that they're emotional creatures and therefore untrustworthy of those things.
Women get made fun of for crying at certain films, especially chick flicks.
Women aren't allowed to show emotion unless they show that they're happy and complacent.
Hi, I'm 25 and debating starting male-to-female HRT. However, I'm scared that HRT won't help me at all. It seems like HRT does so little after puberty, especially by the time one gets in their 20s. I'm really scared that I'll just end up being someone in a male body, but with breasts. Is there anything you can say to someone having this fear? Thank you, and sorry, I suspect this is a silly question.
Actually, the claim that HRT doesn’t do much after puberty is a myth. I started when I was 31 years old and now I’m 35. =)
It’s never too late to transition!

Someone said "Are you really so stupid to think that Africa has the same technological advances as us? If they did they would probably have clean water and not live in houses made of sticks and mud. Get over yourself and stop being so ignorant."..... Below is a tiny collection of images of the Africa they refuse to show you..
ches
I’m sorry you’ve been made to believe that the whole of Africa is poor, I really am..
The war on drugs is rooted in racist policies . The failure of the war and drugs is obvious. We need to find a better solution, because people of color should never be the victims of racist policies. White Americans are more likely than black Americans to have used most kinds of illegal drugs, including cocaine and LSD. Yet blacks are far more likely to go to prison for marijuana, which is not a hard drug. Moreover , even when white people get caught , they get less time in prison.

People horrifically fucking up facts about evolution and genetics too support their stupid beliefs or to seem smart and “rational” is probably one of my big pet peeves
In many cultures, ethnic groups, and nations around the world, hair is considered a source of power and prestige. African people brought these traditions and beliefs to the Americas and passed them down through the generations.
In my mother’s family (Black Americans from rural South Carolina) the women don’t cut their hair off unless absolutely necessary (i.e damage or routine trimming). Long hair is considered a symbol of beauty and power; my mother often told me that our hair holds our strength and power. Though my mother’s family has been American born for several generations, it is fascinating to see the beliefs and traditions of our African ancestors passed down. We are emotionally and spiritually attached to our hair, cutting it only with the knowledge that we are starting completely clean and removing stagnant energy.
Couple this with the forced removal and covering of our hair from the times of slavery and onward, and you can see why so many Black women and men alike take such pride and care in their natural hair and love to adorn our heads with wigs, weaves, braids, twists, accessories, and sharp designs.
Hair is not just hair in African diaspora cultures, and this is why the appropriation and stigma surrounding our hair is so harmful.

When people say white privilege doesn’t exist, use today as an example.
January 6th, 2021 will forever be #ExhibitA
White privilege on full display.
Let this be proof to people who said that once the election was over America was gonna go back to normal and not be racist anymore.
The people who voted for Trump the first time aren't just gonna sudenly stop being racist. They've gotten the exposure and validation that they needed and met other trump supporters to organize stuff like this.
This isn't a today issue. This has always been an issue. Trump just had the balls to be open and now his supporters have the courage to not keep their racism behind closed doors.
TRUMP TO CAPITOL MOB: “So go home. We love you. You’re very special.”
I fear it really is time to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Trump apparently doesn’t know when to stop. If he was capable of putting the nation before his own needs, he would have forcefully condemned what his angry followers did in his name today at the Capitol.
Instead, Trump weakly told the Capitol mob to “go home” while at the same time repeating his continued lie that the election was stolen from him.
But I think the thing that really got to me was Trump’s saying to these would-be insurgents,
“We love you.”
Yes, Trump “loves” his “very special” insurgents.
This is particularly galling because the “Law & Order President” had a very different response to the Black Lives Matter protesters:
And how about Trump also telling the mob,
“I know your pain. I know you’re hurt.”
This from a man who has expressed minimal empathy in the past year for the nearly 360,000 Americans who have died of Covid-19.
Here’s the video and transcript of Trump’s appalling speech to the Capitol mob this afternoon:
“I know your pain. I know you’re hurt.
“We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election, and everyone knows it, especially the other side.
“But you have to go home now. We have to have peace.
“We have to have law and order. We have to respect our great people in law and order. We don’t want anybody hurt.”
“It’s a very tough period of time. There’s never been a time like this where such a thing happened. Where they could take it away from all of us. From me, from you, from our country.
"This was a fraudulent election. But we can’t play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace.
“So go home. We love you. You’re very special.
“You’ve seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil.
“I know how you feel. But go home and go home in peace.”
For anyone not keeping up, Trump held a rally earlier today, told his supporters to storm the Capitol building with him, then went to hide in the White House.
Protestors tore through 4 layers of barricades and are fighting cops to get into the Capitol building. A possible bomb was spotted and the Madison and Cannon buildings have been evacuated while a bomb squad was called in. And just now the Capitol has gone into lockdown.
But also Pence issued a statement that he is not doing anything with the electors and McConnell denounced Republican senators’ efforts to stop counting the electoral votes.
And as I was writing this, the protesters breached the Capitol and Pence was pulled from the Senate chamber.
The police let them storm the capital.
