"I'm pretty with makeup"
"I'm pretty without makeup"
Radical feminism: "It doesn't matter if you're pretty at all. You don't exist to be pretty."
"Female body hair is okay"
"Female body hair is not okay"
Radical Feminism: "Female body hair simply exists and is completely neutral. Talking about whether its 'okay' doesn't even make sense."
"Presenting THIS way makes you a man"
"Presenting THIS way makes you a woman"
Radical feminism: "Nothing about the way you present makes you a man or woman. Gender isn't real."
I love that radical feminism just removes you from so many binaries of thought. It makes them completely nonsensical. Why would I analyze whether I'm pretty when it doesn't matter either way? Why is the acceptability of my body hair even a subject of discussion? It merely exists, just like the bark on a tree. Does society sit around and debate whether a tree ought to be able to keep its bark?
I've come to realize that I've been handed a ton of "either/or" choices about who I am all my life and told to make a decision on each one. And they were all illusions! I just exist. I never had to justify the way I am or even formulate an opinion on it.
we dont need body positivity we need body neutrality we dont need “gender instead of gender roles” we need the abolition of both we dont need “ethical porn websites” we need the eradication of porn altogether we dont need sex work legalised we need more options systematically in place for disadvantaged abused women we dont need cosmetic plastic surgery to be de stigmatised we need to normalise natural female features we dont need “race/sexuality blind feminism” we need intersectional feminism that recognises the different needs and traumas of woc and gay women
It's so sad to realize that my studies are the only thing that give me the strenght to wake up and go outside everyday... Like at this point my best friend is my master degree
We are statistically more likely to have a rapist or a child molester as pope than we are to have a female pope.
I used to love drawing women years ago (especially as fairies) because the female form is beautiful. As I got older and saw how women are so sexualized in EVERY image, I began to feel uncomfortable drawing them with visible breasts because I felt subconsciously that even acknowledging that part of female anatomy was sexualizing them, so the breasts got smaller and smaller until they were pretty much flat chested and the women were androgynous. I am pretty sure this was a microcosm of what happens to women who feel dysphoria over their own breasts because of discomfort being sexualized, and just want them to go away. I understand it entirely. A sick culture that warps and makes a perversion out of natural things will make you eventually feel an aversion to those things.
ppl rly hate girls with eating disorders tbh. did anyone else notice this
Women were never created from men's ribs, not ever. It is HE who emerges from HER womb. Framing the father as the life giver is a patriarchal lie, it's not true.
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.
Just a place to express myself, I'm trying to learn
