one thing i hate about being a woman is how everything you do is seen as some kind of a performance.

if you like video games youre “trying to be a gamer girl”.

if you tell a joke you’re “trying to be quirky”.

if you like to dress a certain way your a “*insert adjective here* girl” for men to commodify and desire.

if you express anything that does not conform to the stereotypical idea of what a woman should be you’re “trying to be ‘one of the boys’”.

weird girls no longer get bullied for being “weird” they get bullied for “trying to hard to be different”.

you’re constantly walking on eggshells trying to avoid coming off like youre “trying” to be a certain way. aren’t you sick of it?

We are saddened to hear about the passing of Dorie Ann Ladner, lifelong voting rights activist. 🕊️🗳️

Ms. Ladner participated in every major civil rights protest of the 1960s, including the March on Washington and the march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. She was a key organizer in her home state of Mississippi, with contributions to the NAACP and Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In June 1964, she launched a volunteer campaign called “Mississippi Freedom Summer,” with a goal of registering as many Black voters as possible.

We remember and honor Dorie through the words of her sister and fellow activist, Joyce Ladner: as someone who “fought tenaciously for the underdog and the dispossessed,” and “left a profound legacy of service.”

Today I heard someone say that there is an "insecurity epidemic among young men" and I am just so fucking happy someone has FINALLY given me the words to describe what is happening to the world. I keep hearing whinging about "men's mental health crisis" and "male loneliness" and "male suicide rates" blahblah in spite of the fact that none of that stuff is actually an issue. Women's depression and rates of suicide attempts have remained consistently higher than men's over the years, and if we look at sex stats you'll see that the rise of loneliness is actually affecting women at very similar rates to men (12% and 14% celibacy rates in the US, respectively). Not to mention the suicide attempts of young women and girls have sky-rocketed in the last couple of years. Suicidal ideation in girls in my country is currently double that of boys. In spite of all this we still see males lashing out en masse, claiming that "men are under attack", "women are privileged", and feminism is "ruining men's lives". Even though none of their claims have any basis in reality there is still an obvious problem here- something is very disturbed in the modern male psyche; but I have not seen anyone accurately label the issue until today. There is an insecurity epidemic among men. Women are finally attending classes, entering the workplace, and gaining voting rights in most countries around the world. These changes are a recent development and they are making modern men question their place in society- as they should. Sadly, instead of taking this time to self reflect, men are desperately trying to stop women's suffrage and cry "abuse" whenever we hold firm. What we are seeing is a big, glorified tantrum, not a "mental health crisis". I am not sure how we would go about fixing this problem but I'm glad that I am finally able to name it!! I thank D'Angelo Wallace for the help.

why does everything have to be so complicated. why cant we just say okay this is a space/institution/scholarship/whatever for women only, this one is for transwomen only, and this one is for both of us? why does it have to be such a fight. i think its reasonable to create opportunities and spaces for trans people especially when they are medically transitioned but why does it have to mean female only spaces, opportunities and so on have to always be inclusive of males

#like personally i do think medical transition separates you from your sex but it doesnt mean youre the opposite sex #theyre the ones always talking about spectrum well can we recognise that #men and women and transwomen and transmen are different categories and groups who can sometimes share but often #need their own spaces and opportunities and protection too #why can we not recognise trans as its own thing #i mean trans activists talk about trans rights and trans joy and whatever all day but when we say #yeah trans is its own and different experience we are the bad gals #mine #gender

📣 Everyone should be able to make their own choices about their bodies—without violence or coercion—as a matter of human rights. The right to bodily autonomy is violated when someone prevents their partner from using contraception, when a person is forced to exchange unwanted sex for food or shelter, and when people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities can’t walk down a street without fearing assault or humiliation. No one has or should be given a license to violate your #humanrights, including your reproductive rights! Created with UNFPA

Image depicts five activists standing together outside with a city skyline and sunset in the background. At their feet, a brown dog with its tongue out is wearing a blue bandana with the human rights campaign/equality flag in yellow. From left to right, three of the activists are each holding up a sign that reads,"REPRO RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS", "HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UNIVERSAL", and "MY BODY, MY RIGHTS. One of the activists without a sign is carrying a baby on their shoulders and holding the baby's arms up in the air. The other activist without a sign is holding up their left fist in the air.

was I supposed to know Nobuko Sasaki was the name of Kunikida Doppo's first wife or was I supposed to find that out while looking up Kunikida Doppo's wikipedia article to try to figure out who the "Takekoshi" he mentions at the start of Entrance Exam is

#according to japanese wikipedia takekoshi would be a japanese historian and politician from the meiji period (died in 1950 at 84)#or his wife who was japan's first female reporter and a women's rights activist #the husband had contact with fukuzawa yukichi so that might be him #apparently i talk sometimes

Pattie boyd on who should play her in the new Beatles Movies:

Who will play Boyd in the Harrison film? "I want Taylor Swift to play me," she proclaims. "She's far too busy of course, but she's the most wonderful girl. She knows her audience, and the kids just adore her"

Asked who should portray her, she doesn't hesitate: 'Taylor Swift. That should do it.'
