🧵 THREAD: This #EqualPayDay, let’s not forget how many of our workplace rights were only secured in the last few decades.

💪✨ We need to fight for our rights.

Here’s are a few examples:

📍 In 1963, the Equal Pay Act required employers to provide equal pay for equal work regardless of gender. 

📍  In 1964, the Civil Rights Act prohibited discrimination based on gender, race, religion, color, or national origin in public places, schools, and employment. Before, it was legal to refuse employment opportunities to women. 

📍  In 1978, the Pregnancy Discrimination Act made it illegal for employers to discriminate against pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

📍  In 1988, the Women's Business Ownership Act created support for women business owners and eliminated the requirement for male co-signers on loans.

📍  In 1993, the Family and Medical Leave Act gave some workers paid family leave, and provided job protection and security for employees who took unpaid time off to care for a relative or family member. 

📍 In 2010, the PUMP Act expanded the Break Time law, which provides key workplace protections for nursing mothers, including reasonable break time to nurse and a private place to pump.

📍 In 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court held that an employer who fires or otherwise discriminates against an individual simply for being gay or transgender is in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

📍 In 2024, the Department of Labor introduced a Final Rule to end an employer's ability to pay individuals with disabilities subminimum wages.

DISTRO SISTERS: Success!

Despite the failure of Sista Surge Media to meet its goal by the deadline, Distro Sisters is going strong, and is projected to launch by the end of the month! We could not have done this without you! We still, however, urgently need your support in our Florida launch, and further expansion!

▪︎ [FUND US]: https://donorbox.org/distrosisters ▪︎ [DONATE]: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/ls/ref=mw_dp_wl_v?&lid=2O442WOIL51HB&ty=wishlist ▪︎ [JOIN US]: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeP87HnK5cfkfOlozKvemFai0oqpmV2wYPIvqkcfFX93tcA1w/viewform?usp=send_form

We have branches planned for the Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Tampa areas. In the coming months, we will be reworking Sista Surge Media to pitch to investors and large donors, so that we can continue operations without relying on financial contributions from our supporters. We realize that there are many causes our sisters support, many of varying urgencies and demands—so we want to be able to support those too!

We were able to get food, medicine, menstrual hygiene products, and personal hygiene products thanks to the help we’ve received from all of you! We thank you for that, and appreciate your efforts! Now, all we need is funding for a small warehouse bay which will function as our base of operations, shelving units, first aid kits, and a refrigerator to store the perishables. We have our sister Natalie who is providing us with uniforms, and Yaya Por Vida who provides us with NAXALONE and contraceptives, so thank you to our precious allies!

We also understand that some sisters would be more willing to send contributions when they are tax-deductible, so we’re currently working on a non-profit to help us collect contributions efficiently, and to help fund other efforts that are close to all our hearts. Sista Surge Media will be the foundations of these operations. It will provide our sisters with jobs, and supply a large portion of funding to our other initiatives, like the International Womyn’s Army, ReproFight, and Distro Sisters.

If you are still willing and able to contribute in its current form, you can do so at: https://donorbox.org/sistasurgemedia

Thank you, deeply, to everyone who is involved, or has been involved at some point! You are deeply appreciated!

In strength, sisterhood, and solidarity

One of the best things about going to a single sex girls school was that they gave us a series of classes on female specific self defence incase we were attacked by a male.

I remembered some tips I thought would be useful for women to know

I don’t remember everything but here are some tips I do remember

- often times male perpetrators will cover their groins so don’t focus on the crotch, instead focus on places like the eyes and knees.

- if you’re really in a dire situation where a man is straddling you then try and snap his legs apart very quickly with yours, because this can disable them very quickly.

- you can also impact on the under side of the nose to kill a man if you really need to. Useful to know.

- they’ll try and disable your hands, and if this happens use your feet or your head. Women have biologically less upper body strength so these are also effective at making impact.

- avoid men doing a stupid walk with baggy trousers on. A lot of the time this means they have a knife, and if it doesn’t then they’re stupid and you should avoid them anyway.

-if you’re stabbed avoid taking the knife out, because it acts as a plug to stop you from bleeding out.

- In terms of prevention, it’s helpful to basically always keep friends around you, but also to go to establishments you know will care if you’re being hurt. I personally have been spiked before in a club that didn’t care at all, and it was horrible - do your research before you go out.

These are obviously limited tips but I enjoy this channel as a means of learning self defence - https://youtube.com/@empowered8083?si=lU2YEI89phKXgEJi

i love kink shaming actually. yes I think it’s repulsive that you like role-playing that your gf is your 5 year old daughter while you two are having sex. no i don’t think that it makes it ethical just because you didn’t actually physically rape a child. die mad about it

non smoker lung cancer is underfunded, 2/3rds of people who get it are women, and the amount of women getting it is rapidly increasing. some of it may be environmental, like pollutant exposures, and some may be biological/genetic, but there's virtually no research despite lung cancer being the leading death causing cancer in women, more than breast or cervical.

The Conversation

Why is there an increase in lung cancer among women who have never smoked?

Rising air pollution, changes in hormone levels, immune system imbalances and longer life expectancy are increasing the risk of lung cancer
