i think this needs to be said again

biological sex holds zero bearing on your personality. anyone who wants to claim otherwise is sexist.

you are not a man just because you have a "boyish" sense of humor, "boyish" interests, "boyish" hobbies, or a "boyish" sense of style. you are not a man just because you dont want people staring at your body.

wanting to be free from unfair expectations and limitations doesn't make you a man. it makes you a feminist.

some people on this app are like "WARNING❗️❗️❗️❗️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️ YOU MAY HAVE REBLOGGED A MEME REPOSTED BY SOMEONE WHO THINKS DIFFERENTLY FROM ME DELETE IT...... NOW"

a lot of people on here have this idea in their head that the reason you shouldn't say slurs is because they're evil words that make you a bad person to say. but they don't have any deeper understanding as to WHY they're bad, and they REALLY want to dehumanize people that they hate. so then they try to reinvent/repurpose/redefine/recontextualize slurs that they can feel morally sound saying.

I love you declining birthrate ❤️ I love you rising numbers of single men ❤️ I love you female celibacy ❤️ I love you birth control ❤️ I love you child free women ❤️ I love you death of hook up culture ❤️ I love you 4B ❤️

This. This a hundred times.

I’ve never walked around “feeling like a woman.” I don’t go about my day eating and drinking and working and going out “feeling womanly.” I don’t think in a “feminine way” using my “feminine mind.” I am just me. I am simply categorized as a woman based on my sex, a neutral fact of my biology— nothing more, nothing less. It has virtually no bearing on my existence or consciousness otherwise.

my crack team of internet addled 16-24 year olds have been working day and night to invent a belief system that is near identical to that of the average white father in the 1950s. No its ok we are using words that are newer and also dumber.

robin was right all the way back in 1973. i hope she is alive and well and thriving, 50 years on from fighting for all of us

I unironically love both abortion and divorce. Every mother willing, every child wanted.

For a good read on two prohibitionist women, one white and one black, that talks about this but also delves into the racism that came from the white prohibitionist women at the same time, Id recommend Southern Horrors by Krystal Feimster

It's also remarkable that women managed to get prohibition of alcohol enacted through a Constitutional amendment, which has a very high bar compared to other legislation, when they still lacked the right to vote in most states.

What women (female human beings) experience under the new administration's executive orders and subsequent introduced bills by republicans:

• Potentially being charged with a felony and in some states the death penalty for taking the abortion pill or contraception pills.
• Being politically forced to incubate and going through unwanted pregnancies, which will result in ~20+ years of being a caregiver to a child emotionally, financially, physically.
• Rapists can now choose the mother of their offspring.
• Women will be unable to medically treat sometimes life-threatening and extremely debilitating hormone cycle related conditions through contraception.
• Women's healthcare is now required to also meet the needs of men (house resolution 7). In other words, honey, does your husband want you to have that hysterectomy?

What Tribes are experiencing:

• A complete freeze to federal funding—the vast majority of tribal nations as sovereign yet dependent nations almost solely rely on this funding for very basic human programs (education, housing, food, elder care, youth care, protection).

What gay people are experiencing:

• Rollback of gay rights and same sex marriage which allows us extremely important legal protections including allowing us into hospitals to care for our dying loved ones, property rights, etc.

What trans people experience under the new administrations executive order in comparison:

• "I'll have to hide my pronouns in my social media bio :("
• "I'm not able to alter my birth certificate"
• Males can't be transferred to women's prisons.
• Trump recognized there were two sexes.
• Literal children and teenagers under 19 years old can't be pumped full of hormones or given surgeries to drastically alter/modify their sex. Adults over 19 still can.
• Boys in high schools can't follow girls into locker rooms and bathrooms through just arguing they don't identify as boys.
• Schools can't be federally funded (incentivized) by students believing they aren't really of their sex or by them just using different pronouns.
