For Us, by. Kai-ya Bos.

“For Us”

I don't need feminism for me,

I need it for my family, my friends, the random girl walking down the street,

Because people say, “protect your daughters”,

Instead of saying, “educate our sons.”

At the age of 10 i lost my closest friend due to the fact,

It happened 4 times by the time she was 9.

I need feminism because I had to yell at a grown man for trying to look under my skirt.,

I need feminism so we can wear skirts on school campus.,

Without teenage wolves howling at their next meal. 

I need feminism because I was sent home from the third grade, because my shorts were to "distracting"

I need feminism because I can't wear headphones in both ears Because, I need one ear to keep lookout.

I need feminism because I can't post a picture of me at the beach, without people saying I'm “asking for it.”

I need feminism because I should be able to walk down the street, without having to worry about the eyes of the people who don't get punished for their actions.

I no longer need it for the one I lost, we all need it so we can feel safe inside and outside of our home.

I want to fly,

and make my wings

stronger

but i'm a woman

and the society wants

to upgrade my iron shackles

to golden ones

indeed

they care for me!

I had a friend who would giggle when I'd pronounce words as if I'd only read them, who you'd catch with a glowing smile when you admitted to not knowing something he did, and who never failed to try and make himself seem the smartest person in the room.

I'd never really been enchanted by his intelligence, but that isn't to say he had none, just that his version of it was much different than mine.

See, he considered intelligence to be memorization. All the names, dates, and specificities of a subject (to which he only specialized in one), was what he considered the height and extent of intelligence.

I see things differently. While the memorization of facts is all very impressive and can come in handy in a variety of situations, it isn't (to me) what makes a person truly intelligent. What makes someone intelligent is wit, problem solving capabilities, and that kind of genius that you know when you see it.

Once, I boasted very proudly (and with a bit more ego than men are used to seeing from women) that I considered myself to be smarter than them. Not in any kind of mean or malicious way, or even in a way that implied them stupid, just that I'd seen more life.

I'd lived through more tails, fought grander dragons, and emerged victorious from more ashes than he'd seen fires. And while I explained this to him, and said that I believed everyone to be smart in their own way, he still wasn't satisfied.

Maybe I'm the jerk for saying what everyone was thinking so clearly, and if I am, the only thing I have to say is, he had no such reservations in proclaiming himself the smartest person in the room.

His issue wasn't that it was rude to so brazenly call oneself out on the strengths so clearly evident over another, but that the receiver of the declaration wasn't himself.

I find this kind of behavior in men often. They're so used to having their egos stroked, and women so used to having their's dulled, that confrontation with their own inadequacy scares them.

But scared isn't the right word either: irritates or infuriates are more accurate to describe the look in his eye. It wasn't a conversation where one debated the merits of intelligence and what is valued over another, it was one where he expected me to bow.

He expected me to admit my wrong, to beg for forgiveness and proclaim that I (a stupid woman) had been led astray by my feeble womanly mind and was only shown the light by a stern manly mind who truly knows that intelligence is.

And maybe it is rude to call yourself smarter than another even if it is entirely true. I can admit to being rude easier than being stupid.

But I'll always be so thankful I didn't bow like the generations of women who would have had to bow before. The women who would have been bounced off the wall, ridiculed, or worse for daring to say in casual conversation what I did.

There was nothing he could do but stare at me with those desperate eyes of a man who has had nothing but an ego stroke his entire life, waiting patiently for yet another. I didn't give that to him, and that will always be the smartest thing I've ever done

The moment you use trans identified women ("transmen") as an argument for "men can get pregnant and give birth, too", you give credit to the male sex class for female labor which uniquely and exclusively belongs to the female sex class.

Sex outweighs gender. Gender is a social construct whereas sex is a material, biological reality.

"girls support girls-" okay but are you normal about queer women? are you normal about BIWOC? are you normal about disabled women? are you normal about autistic women? are you normal about fat women? alternative women? unattractive women? are you normal about women who choose not to shave their legs and armpits and faces? are you normal about butches and tomboys and masculine women? are you normal about trans women? are you normal about trans men? are you normal about nonbinary folk and people who lie outside the gender binary or renounce gender all together? are you normal about women who absolutely despise and detest the latest trends? are you normal about weird women who unsettle you with their interests? are you normal about women who don't wear makeup, who will never wear makeup, who openly dislike makeup and the makeup industry?

#ive seen a LOT of (usually white cis het) women and girls on instagram say shit like girls support girls and then turn around and shit on #women who dont follow trends #i really hate it when a woman posts about how they dislike [insert trendy thing here] and all of a sudden shes a pick me who doesnt like #other girls #ESPECIALLY when it comes to things like makeip #*makeup #its really pissing me off #this and the rise of the 'im just a girl' 'girl math' 'girl dinner' 'girlhood is-' #SHUT UP!!!! #WOMEN HAVE MANY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES!!! #if i have to see one more 'normalize femininity' post again im going to LOSE IT #alas i need instagram because i contact people from my school on there #me posts #edit: something else ive seen is just how prevalent white feminism has become #white feminism and blatent radfem rhetoric has just started being spread EVERYWHERE #like holy shit we are regressing

"a dude in Texas legally changed his name to "Literally Anyone Else" and he's attempting to run for President against Biden & Trump" [source]

okay, but putting aside the comedic aspect of this, it is concerning the amount of people who are prompted to vote for candidates just because it's funny. I'm not the biggest fan of how his policy about the boarder sounds [Site], but I do implore anyone who is able to vote in the 2024 US election to please research other candidates.

The media is only going to continue pushing the idea it's inevitably going to be Trump vs Biden 2.0 and we have no other options, that we have to vote for Biden again because of Project 2025. Is that whole thing terrifying?

Yeah, fucking absolutely.

But voting for Biden will not solidify our safety from that. Biden is exactly like the rest of them. He always has been. You can't make the lesser of two evils argument when they're both just plain evil.

You cannot say that Biden is even mildly a better choice than Trump when he is currently directly involved in a genocide. That is not some little fucking thing. That in and of itself disqualifies him as a lesser evil. Biden is just as bad as him and he will not save us because he doesn't fucking care.

Cornel West [Site] is an Independent candidate running for President in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

Claudia De la Cruz and Karina Garcia [Site] are running for President and Vice-President as the candidates of the Party for Socialism and Liberation in the 2024 Election. [Policies]

There are options.

There are people trying to change the corrupt foundation our system is built on, but we have to help amplify them because the mainstream media will not.

#have you looked at what's happening in New York & the subways #There's so many reported shootings and deaths and it just seems to be getting worse. #I just looked up subway shooting ny because I wanted to check before saying something #There's reports from like 3 hours ago about someone getting pushed in front of one of the moving subways & there's so many others #or how about the like thousands of police officers that they've got stationed at subways in ny literally doing fuck all #or how everyone's going through a housing crisis and cant afford rent and cant get medical care because it can cost #$4000 to get a fucking ambulance and that's cheap. That's a ride to the hospital less than 20 minutes away probably. #or the rise in hate crimes and bigotry and all the shit they're now trying to censor with the kosa bill #or how terrifying places like Florida have became for anyone thats not seen as an equel by people who dont view most others as equels. #or how they're pouring billions into wars while we're in the midsts of a homeless crisis #suicide rates are at record levels in the us and it's only going to get worse. theyre pulling telehealth which will take away #life saving medical care for people who dont have the ability to go in person. people's ability to get therapy and meds being taken away #Is going to kill people. or how the Biden administration has fucked up their Covid response so goddamn badly #people are referring to the pandemic in past tense and have lost understanding for others who they'd have understood before #they've lied and they've concealed and its killing millions of people and disabling even more. but they will not take accountability. #long covid is ruining people's lives and they've successfully led the narrative that its not real or not that serious. #they will sit there and they will lie. they will say they've protected women's rights and that its a top priority. #they'll say that healthcare is a top priority but have suggested that they'd veto a healthcare for all bill because of its price tag #but will spend billions and billions and billions on a genocide that the majority is against. the system isn't going to begin collapsing #it already is. #its crumbled and we must demolish the corrupt remains and rebuild a better government that gives a shit about people #ALL people. #they use basic human rights as bargaining chips. #the Democrats and Republicans on a Venn diagram is a circle. wake up.
