you know why it’s so critically important to celebrate women over the age of 40?
because young women and girls need role models. need someone to aspire to become as they age.
as it is, society basically tells girls and young women: aspire to be 18-22. do not aspire or imagine past that, for you are useless without youth and beauty. do not aspire to be wise, or strong, beautiful without youth, or valuable with lines and wrinkles. and THAT is scary. we put a cap on aspirations for girls, because we want them to think the ideal comes and goes by 20–when really, we’re at our best for many, many years beyond.
Can you prove that porn is consentual? Can you prove that she's 18+, and that she really really wants it, and that she's completely sober? Can you prove she didn't ask for the video to be deleted, can you prove she knew there was a video in the first place?
You can't prove it all.
i really like the definition of “adult human female” because it says “thats all it is. its not femininity, makeup, submissiveness, softness, anything. all it is is biology. the rest is up to the individual”
the concept that privilege on one axis can “cancel out” oppression on another axis is such a prevailing idea among this generation. it’s led to so much damage within social justice movements, and i think it directly contributed to the rise of identity politics, “oppression olympics,” and the obsession with listing every detail about your mental illnesses, race, and disabilities online. it’s a constant battle to prove that you’re oppressed, that you have the least amount of net privilege. it’s not factual, and it has no bearing in the real world. oppression and privilege on different axes can’t be added and subtracted from each other. they are different variables.
Getting very sick of trans-identified men making creepy, voyeuristic media about the violence and suffering that women and girls experience at the hands of men.
Stop using a misogynistic symbol thinking you’re a girlboss.
Almost every day I think about how if you raised a daughter exactly, precisely like a son, it would be seen as vaguely progressive, but raising a son exactly, precisely like a daughter would be seen as sexual abuse.
People say "humans are evil" and then they only name examples of male violence and patriarchy
They’re not gonna like this one
