"it''ll be a statue of a woman, like a beautiful statue of a woman, and it'll be like...she helped lead the way for so many refugees or she was a nurse or she was this and she was that. She was just this pillar of society in her time. She was such an influential and powerful woman.
And they'll zoom in on her face, and they'll zoom in on the plaque, and they'll zoom out and show a full body...and it’ll show that one of her breasts has been basically rubbed off and it’s so shiny because all the tourists and, you know, whoever, has touched her breast and that's her legacy now.
[…] and you walk up to it and it’s just… through all that, through all the effort, through all the care and all the legacy she left behind, the only thing that she is now seen for is her breasts. That's gonna make me actually sick."

some people are just fucking rotten on the inside.
Women generally have stronger immune systems, can see more colors than men, live longer, are more flexible, and have better endurance/stamina for long bouts of running and swimming, females generally float more easily than males, and women's bodies are uniquely equipped to excel in long-distance swimming than men’s bodies
Women generally have a higher percentage of body fat compared to men, which can provide better buoyancy and stability in water.
Women's body shape tends to be leaner, more petite, and have bone structure that supports longer distance running, walking and swimming etc.
Women naturally have a higher body fat, and body fat is vital in cold weather survival. Women are built for survival, long distance and endurance
According to research, women generally tend to learn languages faster than men due to differences in brain processing, where women often utilize both hemispheres of the brain when processing language, leading to a potential advantage in language acquisition;
Women/girls are often thought to be more adept at learning new languages than men/boys. This is because women tend to have better verbal skills, better memory, and better multitasking abilities.
women are generally considered more likely to survive traumatic injuries compared to men, with the primary explanation being the protective effects of female sex hormones like estrogen, which can help with the body's response to shock and trauma.

Next time a trans advocate tells you transwomen have to use women's facilities because they're fearful of being harassed by men, just say "are you saying all men are violent rapists?" #notallmen
The more I realise I'm not supposed to be here, the more hurt and lost I feel
I don’t think we as a society talk nearly enough about how intricately connected cats and women are. cats are associated with women so heavily, not just in English but in other languages as well. the stereotype of the ‘crazy cat lady’, the fact words to refer to cats are often also used to refer to female genitalia, ‘cat fight’, ‘catty’, etc.
Cats have suffered alongside women, too, which is not something I have seen brought up. Cats were targeted during the Witch Hunts as well, and suffered similar fates as the women they hunted. During this time, cats were nearly driven to extinction, and the mice and rat population go out of control— which is believed to have heavily contributed if not outright caused one of the most famous plagues.
To this day, I think we need to analyze if it’s truly a coincidence that cats are often portrayed as mean or uncaring because they do not behave the same way as dogs— “man’s best friend”— that their boundaries are violated for fun and then people criticize the cat for reacting, for self-defense. They will mutilate a cat so it cannot defend itself, and then abandon it when it is understandably upset, when it can no longer feel safe.
If you look at the statistics, more cats enter animal shelters than dogs, and tend to stay for longer. Personally, my local humane societies seem to have almost exclusively cats. In part, this is because cats are more effective at reproducing than dogs, and there are very little if any resources dedicated to to TNR. This is also because people will not spay/neuter their cats, and then will abandon the cat and/or just the kittens.
I do not think it is entirely coincidental that cats are so heavily associated with women, and they are villainized for not being dogs. That dogs are called “man’s best friend”, but somehow that does not mean cats are called “women’s best friend”— instead diamonds are, for whatever reason, despite women’s shared history with cats, and shared experience of being villainized for having boundaries. They are made the villain for being cats instead of dogs, they are called uncaring and “assholes” because the way they show love is not identical to the way a dog does.
I feel like there is no way it is entirely coincidental, the way cats are hated and the way they are so heavily associated with women, with females.
Just a place to express myself, I'm trying to learn
