I cannot stress how important it is to be intersectional about your feminism. listen to black women, listen to trans women, listen to disabled women, and please acknowledge the fact that there are different types of women who go through different types of struggles than you
shipping characters who are just friends in canon is more than okay but what’s annoying is when people take screenshots of them touching and say “friends don’t do that!”. i hate to break it to you but friends do hug and hold hands and cuddle. saying ‘friends don’t do that’ is reenforcing the idea that physical touch is reserved for lovers
male/female socialisation is the fact that in the middle of a meltdown usually autistic males punch around themselves with no concern while we punch ourselves because of concern
tbh adopting body neutrality has been life-changing for me like I no longer feel tied to my appearance. It took away the pressure to be always “pretty”. Letting go of beauty standards and rejecting anything that fuels insecurity has been incredibly liberating. Honestly, I’ve stopped shaving and wearing makeup altogether, and it made me realize how men behind big corporations have brainwashed us into believing there's something wrong with us. Young girls obsession with shaving their legs and arms or else they’ll be seen as “disgusting” is just sad also so many influencers are also promoting it not realising little girls are learning from them:/
Often, men will say something like : "Who built this world? Men! Who created everything, all the technology, the great art, the culture, our societies? Who built the roads you drive on? Men!" and feminists will respond "That's because you didn't let us work or make art!" and... that's just wrong? Why are you validating the idea that women didn't contribute anything to the world? That we didn't work? That we didn't innovate? And why are you approving the nonsense that says being a mother is not work?
Don't let men rewrite history.
Women have always worked the double shift; outside of home and inside of home.

1) they target women, not ppl identifying as women. 2) you skipped over my other points. 3) why do you always talk about TIMs? what if a woman is revealed to be a trans man? do you have statistics on this?
and lastly, without any basis “i think” is not a valid argument in this kind of discussion.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
