If I'm being honest I think that the worsening of boys grades in school over the past few decades is due to the rise in single motherhood. I mean let's be real, most heterosexual women are pathetic pick mes. When they have sons they refuse to discipline them and baby and coddle the crap out of them. Most mothers will sniff the farts of their sons and say it smells good. On the other hand, these women will treat their daughters like they are never good enough, which leads their daughters to try everything they can to be worthy of their love. So is it any surprise that the daughters of these women generally get better grades than their sons?
Because when I think about when women are most powerful, I immediately think of women who are literally virgins, who know exactly who they are. Before they have internalized the gaze of men and adjusted their behaviour accordingly, they exude confidence, competence, independence and completeness.
nuanced takes on radblr are like “let’s all just do nothing then cry about it” lol
These feel-good feminist and their drivel are just as harmful as any other religious figurehead.
Preaching about mother yoniverse and her fertile womb raining down abundance on women is the same as the pastor telling his followers how god will reward them for doing nothing.
Same mind fuck, different language and audience.
If it's not actually changing the conditions of your life you need to throw the shit away. It's useless. You'll end up impoverished with a big ego, what good is that?
"Female empowerment" is useless if it isn't actually giving you the tools to gain economic success and power. You're lying if you think that shit isn't important.
do not give me a love confession note man i will straight up roll that shit into a joint. i am not kidding. fuck your feelings for me i am smoking that shit
You're not a dumbass if you like gossip and drama. Men created this myth so that women don't form friendships with each other, they called them stupid for talking to each other. Because if you can't gossip you won't tell your friends about how your husband treats you.
Being interested in people and social things and drama and arguments and all these things comes free with being a social species. Enjoy them all you want, it's neither stupid nor immoral.
Been seeing some ignorant ass takes that assume that bp/sep women have done nothing for women.
I was a crisis line worker for a rape shelter. My job was to find and secure shelter spaces for homeless women, to coordinate appointments for women entering rehabilitation centers, to fundraise, to research legal records for violent male offenders, and to offer peer support and counselling over the phone for women - often for victims of male sexual abuse.
There was an incident where a lesbian woman contacted us seeking help, because she needed a place to stay temporarily, and the shelter was extremely hesitant to help her and gave her a difficult time because she wasn't directly a victim of male violence. Even though they had the means to help her.
~50% of the shelter's volunteers at that time were lesbians.
The woman who came to us was shocked and felt mishandled. I was disappointed as well and I had been advocating for her. She lost faith in the organization, which she had trusted because of its reputation. And I said, this is not sitting right with me. So I quit.
