words can't even express how weird this shit feels. ik Blaire White is right-wing & I do not support those views, but watching the group of entirely right-wing males (go to 4:55) agree that Dylan Mulvaney is too sexist even for them (even if they're bullshitting about it, the fact they *said* it) is honestly so unnerving it gives me chills. what the fuck is going on in this world rn???

I hate anyone who talks about sexual orientation labels as “restrictive” and how in the progressive future or whatever fictional scenario free of bigotry people will stop calling themselves gay and just “be free” to fuck everyone and everything. sorry but being homosexual is not somehow tied to bigotry it’s literally just a neutral state of being, even if homophobia is removed and we have total acceptance homosexuality will still exist.

if you didn’t know, the country of Gambia is currently considering repealing the ban on FGM. This would be the first country to do this and could potentially have devastating effects on other countries that have banned FGM as well. Yesterday the government postponed a vote for further deliberation. These are the most recent articles I found.
Here are a couple photos of protesters in favor of the ban, I want to acknowledge the Gambian women actually doing the work on the ground. The ban was only from 2015, not long ago too.

Defend and Protect Black Women!!
Misogynoir medical bias is KILLING Black women disproportionately. If you know even a little history of how Black women have been systematically dehumanized and objectified in the medical industrial complex -you'd know this is FAR too common and it's despicable. These medical professionals should be losing their licenses to practice medicine.
"Black women are three to four times more likely to experience complications during pregnancy and childbirth and die from these complications compared with white women. Additionally, infants born to Black women are two times more likely to be born premature (<37 weeks of gestation) compared with infants born to white women."
"In the 19th century, J. Marion Sims performed experimental surgery on enslaved Black women without their consent to develop a cure for vesicovaginal fistula. These experiments facilitated the generations of two key health care scripts about Black women in the context of reproductive health care: (1) it is acceptable to perform procedures on Black women without their consent; and (2) Black women have a high tolerance for pain."
"Although there is a plethora of research documenting Black women's experiences of racism and discrimination while navigating perinatal care, much less has been reported regarding the relationship between racism and clinical care through the lens of clinicians' caring for Black women during pregnancy and childbirth."

By EDITH M. LEDERER Updated 9:11 PM PST, March 8, 2024 UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Legal equality for women could take centuries as the fight for gender equality is becoming an uphill struggle against widespread discrimination and gross human human rights abuses, the United Nations chief said on International Women’s Day. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a packed U.N. commemoration Friday that “a global backlash against women’s rights is threatening, and in some cases reversing, progress in developing and developed countries alike.” The most egregious example is in Afghanistan, he said, where the ruling Taliban have barred girls from education beyond sixth grade, from employment outside the home, and from most public spaces, including parks and hair salons. At the current rate of change, legal equality for women could take 300 years to achieve and so could ending child marriage, he said. Guterres pointed to “a persistent epidemic of gender-based violence,” a gender pay gap of at least 20%, and the underrepresentation of women in politics. He cited September’s annual gathering of world leaders at the U.N. General Assembly, where just 12% of the speakers were women. “And the global crises we face are hitting women and girls hardest — from poverty and hunger to climate disasters, war and terror,” the secretary-general said. In the past year, Guterres said, there have been testimonies of rape and trafficking in Sudan, and in Gaza women women and children account for a majority of the more than 30,000 Palestinians reported killed in the Israeli-Hamas conflict, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health. He cited a report Monday by the U.N. envoy focusing on sexual violence in conflict that concluded there are “reasonable grounds” to believe Hamas committed rape, “sexualized torture” and other cruel and inhumane treatment of women during its surprise attack in southern Israel on Oct. 7. He also pointed to reports of sexual violence against Palestinians detained by Israel. International Women’s Day grew out of labor movements in North America and across Europe at the turn of the 20th century and was officially recognized by the United Nations in 1977. This year’s theme is investing in women and girls to accelerate progress toward equality. Roza Otunbayeva, the head of the U.N. political mission in Afghanistan, told the Security Council on Wednesday that what is happening in that country “is precisely the opposite” of investing in women and girls. There is “a deliberate disinvestment that is both harsh and unsustainable,” she said, saying the Taliban’s crackdown on women and girls has caused “immense harm to mental and physical health, and livelihoods.” Recent detentions of women and girls for alleged violations of the Islamic dress code “were a further violation of human rights, and carry enormous stigma for women and girls,” she said. It has had “a chilling effect among the wider female population, many of whom are now afraid to move in public,” she said. Otunbayeva again called on the Taliban to reverse the restrictions, warning that the longer they remain, “the more damage will be done.” Sima Bahous, the head of UN Women, the agency promoting gender equality and women’s rights, told the commemoration that International Women’s Day “sees a world hobbled by confrontation, fragmentation, fear and most of all inequality.” “Poverty has a female face,” she said. “One in every 10 women in the world lives in extreme poverty.” Men not only dominate the halls of power but they “own $105 trillion more wealth than women,” she said. Bahous said well-resourced and powerful opponents of gender equality are pushing back against progress. The opposition is being fueled by anti-gender movements, foes of democracy, restricted civic space and “a breakdown of trust between people and state, and regressive policies and legislation,” she said.

It’s honestly hilarious how many of you will parade around in corny “gender is a social construct” shirts and crap like that but the minute someone actually practises gender critical feminism you throw a tantrum because you don’t want to acknowledge how much of your worldview relies on gender roles and misogyny

TRAs harass, guilt, and shame homosexuals for having any kind of sexual boundary (for example a gay person not being interested in the opposite sex), and then act surprised when it fosters resentment

everytime I remember that lesbian couple that have a marble statue of the two of them embracing and sleeping on a bed together over where their graves will be because the artists didn’t believe they would be able to be married before they died, so what they couldn’t have in life they could have in death, I fucking breakdown

This International Women’s Day, remember that women in Gaza are getting infections from being forced to reuse menstrual products. Pregnant in Gaza are giving birth in horrific conditions and having c-sections without anaesthetic. Mothers are watching their babies die because they can’t breastfeed due to malnutrition. Women are being bombed to death, starved to death, dying of thirst, being shot by snipers, assaulted by soldiers and being robbed of their homes and property.
This International Women’s Day, please remember that Palestine is a feminist issue.
