I’m Getting Fed Up With This Whole “feminism As An Identity” Thing. Time For “feminism As An

I’m getting fed up with this whole “feminism as an identity” thing. Time for “feminism as an action.”

So instead of asking “can a feminist do x?” ask “is doing x a feminist action!”

Can a feminist take her husband’s last name? Mu. Null. Question un-valid, please un-ask question.

Is taking your husband’s last name a feminist action? No it isn’t. It doesn’t challenge the patriarchy in anyway, it is the status quo thing to do, it is what is expected of women, and it carries a lot of historical baggage about ownership and shit like that.

But that’s okay, your life choices don’t have to be 100% dictated by your politics unless you want them to. And it’s okay to really want to take his name while recognizing that you also want to do the feminist thing and keep your own, and it’s okay to feel conflicted and have a hard time making the choice. But no more of this enabling “as long as I made the choice myself it is a feminist choice” -bullshit. Own your choices, even the ones that aren’t informed by your feminist politics. You are still a human being and people do shit that contradicts their politics and even interests all the time. Just stop pretending that everything you do is feminist because you are a feminist, that’s not how it works.

my ideas for evil kids shows

The Miggles: A group of threatening men in desaturated turtlenecks sing and dance off rhythm to teach kids important lessons like how to destroy fruit salads (they're gross) and punish their hyperactive friend jeff by placing him in an eternal slumber

Redy: A family of dogs from new zealand constantly berate and abusive each other with no concern for each other's well being or boundaries. very popular with adults who had happy and fulfilling childhoods who wish they were older.

Red's Answers: A man endures psychological torture from a red dog who slowly unravels anything he's known to be true and real, having his mail stolen on a daily basis

Dora the Hermit: A mexican girl sits in her dreary house all day with no friends where her possessions are constantly stolen from her by a fox, everyone only speaks Spanish with as few signs as possible as to what they could be saying.

The Electric Bill: various dry segments misinform children on grammar and spelling with the goal of making them less literate

Eve and Lucifer: A show many people mistake as a parody of Moral Orel, teaching children various life lessons about living in sin and abandoning morals in the name of science

Active City: A mean lazy villain tells everyone to sit on their couches and eat junk food while moving as little as possible, causing the pirate metal band Alestorm to break up.

Normal Wild Animals: A group of animals who cause problems in a small area around an old folks home. Gives all american children that watch it british accents and all british children that watch it american accents.

Salt Pig: A lone beautiful specimen of a real life pig gores the queen of england to death
