This Mentality Is Really Telling Of The Fact That You Haven't Done Any Politics Or Activism In Real Life.

i'm currently on a train and i'm surrounded by women studying various stem things, maybe we'll make it out after all

Forever thanks to my parents for continuously shitting on all the helpless-princess-saved-by-prince and hypersexualised-japanese-girls-do-things cartoons throughout all my childhood 🙏🏻

Did your parents forbid you from watching certain cartoons? 

when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

I completely agree with the post and I see the place the reblog is coming from but I just want to address some things, don't read my response as rude as it is not my intention:

you CAN and WILL find safe and satisfying relationships; if you're a straight woman these are going to be friendships with other women because, I agree, the probability of finding happiness and respect in a relationship with a man is near zero (and we may as well take it to be zero because this is real life we're talking about)

we live in a patriarchal society, and men are actively taught and encourage to torment women in various ways, that's true: build walls around yourself, become physically and mentally strong, find a community in which to find comfort and protection

you have the power to be independent, you have the power to resist the constraints in which society tries to force you; find that independence and use it to help other women

statistically, every man is going to mistreat you, older men often have the financial means to make it harder for you to get out - an high-school boyfriend can get violent, an older man can do that + make it impossible for you to leave if you depend on him, it's not worth it

being alone is better sometimes; other people will damage you, sure, but again, you're going to find a community and often the damage a boyfriend/husband/occasional partner can do to you doesn't compare to that done by other people (excluding family members)

not everyone is a predator, most men are (probably all the ones you cross your path with) but most women aren't; you're going to find women who are nice to you because you're smart and interesting and fun

It’s extremely disturbing to see so many young girls obsessed with older men and actively seeking them out. Despite what you may have been told this is not normal or quirky and is a sign that you probably need therapy. That grown man that’s giving you attention isn’t lana del rey vinyl, he’s a predator. You’re a victim of patriarchal oppression that targets young girls.

Introduction

20-something socialist woman, this blog is a sharing space for thoughts and opinions because I miss being politically active (which is on hold for personal reasons - mainly getting a degree)

I'll talk mainly about feminist theory and anything related, my positions are radical - I'd love to interact with people who share (not necessarily) similar views.

Also some occasional posts on music, art and the likes, everything fiercely nonconformist.

You can call me M :)

If school is catered towards women tell me why my parents had to fight with every PE teacher because I wanted to play the "boys sports" instead of doing boring ass pilates in elementary school

I get so pissed when people say this. The education system was literally created by and for men. Women weren’t allowed to get an education for hundreds of years. Women are still not allowed to get an education in certain countries. Every time women are better at men than something they blame it on “the system.”

Just a heads up: this is not true.

While homosexuals and gender non conforming people were persecuted by nazis, the reason Hirschfeld's institute was shut down was that he was Jewish and promoted the idea that homosexuality was not an illness, which was considered "jewish science".

It is important to remember the many victims of the Holocaust and nazism but it is also important to not bend history in order to fit a narrative.

And I'll say it again: homosexuals and gender non conforming people went through horrible things and it's important to share actual sources on that instead.

my working theory when reading elon musk news is that he watched house of cards and didn't understand who the bad guy was

perhaps i should journal

"It's normal and unproblematic to have a desire to rape women and children and I'm entitled to having it available on my phone in order to not go through with the hassle of doing it in real life"

first of all this is false second of all you are like a terrorist to me
