"It takes a brave man to face a brave woman, and man's fear of woman's creative energy has never found an expression more clear than in the old German clamor, renewed by the Nazis, of "Kinder, Küche, Kirche" for women."
-- Pearl S. Buck
"Kinder, Küche, Kirche, or the 3 Ks, is a German slogan translated as "children, kitchen, church" used under the German Empire to describe a woman's role in society. It now has a mostly derogatory connotation, describing what is seen as an antiquated female role model in contemporary Western society."
"In a September 1934 speech to the National Socialist Women's Organization, Hitler argued that for the German woman her "world is her husband, her family, her children, and her home", a policy which was reinforced by the stress on "Kinder" and "Küche" in propaganda, and the bestowing of the Cross of Honor of the German Mother on women bearing four or more babies."

I’m just so tired of being insulted for what I like
My music taste? Sucks
How I dress? Ugly
My haircut? Ugly
My body hair? Gross
I see all those positivity posts for butches on tumblr but nobody I know irl actually feels that way
Even if people try to be nice all they do is deny what I am
Oh you’re not masculine you’re beautiful? Like fuck off I am masculine. Why does that mean I’m automatically ugly?

I should put Harry more often in women's roles and women's dresses, he'd be a pretty lass, but the problem with him is that he fundamentally don't wanna be a pretty lass, I think. Yes he wants to be seen as smart and refined and he very much wants to be vulnerable with a partner, but it's not very much how he presents to the outside world.

German saying of the day:
Andere Mütter haben auch schöne Töchter.
"other mothers also have pretty daughters"
Basically to give support to a person who just got rejected/ended a relationship

I want a kinder world.
Just because YOU don't understand how someone else identifies or someone else's existence, that doesn't mean that you get to INVALIDATE their existence and experience of life!!!!!
You don’t have to understand someone to accept them and be kind to them.
