feminists support abortion. feminism is a philosophy that embraces basic rights
It's kind of disheartening to network with radical feminists IRL and see how many of them are motivated primarily by hate for trans people instead of love for women. I liked to think that the bad ones were a vocal minority online, but now I'm thinking the best and most reasonable of us online are the minority overall. A lot of us ARE the stickmen we claim we aren't as a whole - and yes, these are girls who read the literature and could parrot lines at you from Dworkin. But they have no idea how to practice real class solidarity. If a radical feminist can laugh when I tell her that I had a random man in public get up in my face and call me a "fucking tranny," is she really concerned with the welfare of women, or is she just happy to spread politically-motivated hate, no matter who takes the collateral? And what motivates that hate anyway? A lot of you are more eager to "own" the tifs/tims than you are to actually create a more welcoming world for gender non-conformity.
Emmeline Pankhurst (née Goulden; 15 July 1858 – 14 June 1928) British political activist who, with her daughters, organised the United Kingdom’s suffrage movement and helped UK women claim their right to vote.
Yo mismo me encargué de sexualizar mi imagen y ahora tengo que soportar todo lo que eso conlleva. Siento que me proyecté como un objeto netamente sexual y ahora la gente no me ve de otra forma.
El día de hoy no felicites, hazlo cuando una mujer no tenga que mandar ubicación o avisar que llegó con bien.
No critiques la marcha, respeta, indirectamente lo están haciendo por ti y tu familia
¿No son formas? Claro, las formas son quedarte llorando en casa, en ocasiones sin tener el cuerpo de la nena faltante, sabiendo que no tendrás justicia porque ya le dieron carpetazo a tu caso igual que todo el 97% restante.
Esta lucha existe desde hace 100 años y aún existe desigualdad, acosó, asesinatos etc... Si es necesario rompan y quemen todo en la ciudad
¿Les importa más una pared que una violación?, ¿Un par de cristales y no un asesinato?
Las cosas materiales vuelven, la vida e integridad dañada de las mujeres víctimas, ya no
No son exageradas, son valientes, hoy por ellas, mañana por todas
No esperes entender el movimiento hasta que falte alguien cercano a ti

Estelle Sylvia Pankhurst (5 May 1882 – 27 September 1960) English feminist and socialist activist and writer. With her mother and sister, she was a leader in the suffrage movement, helping women in the UK claim their right to the vote.
To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they have sex exclusively with women. From women they want sex, service and devotion. All of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, recognition and admiration they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men.
Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.
