True If You're In The Uk

remember when as kids my male cousins would make fun of me for growing body hair before them and would get offended when I told them they were just jealous

"thanks to men for raping this other woman instead of me 🤩🤩"

why is this such a common opinion?

why is "men will be unable to not rape unless they can buy access to a woman's body" something people just say without realising how insane that sounds

This mentality is really telling of the fact that you haven't done any politics or activism in real life.

I've been sitting with party representatives, union representatives and fellow members of movements I belong(ed) to for almost 10 years at this point.

Not a single one of these spaces didn't cater to males.

Engage in some politics outside of tumblr and/or niche organisations, I grant you your opinion will flip in 10 seconds max.

Alright this is gonna be tough for alot of ya'll to hear but leftist and progressive spaces need to be more welcoming to men especially cis het white men. The more we speak bad about men the more men will go down the alt right pipeline. And obviously that's a bad thing. If we want men to be on our side we should create a space where they can also feel included because if we don't more men will go down the alt right and alpha male pipeline

It follows Delia, a woman stuck in an abusive marriage, during the days of the first italian general elections in which women were allowed to vote, just after the liberation from fascism, while american troops were still patrolling italian streets.

It's fun and delicate while tackling important issues, and it's one of the few strongly feminist movies that managed to appeal to the general public in a country in which femicide is still a prominent issue which our government refuses to talk about.

It was Cortellesi's directional debut (she's also a co-writer and plays the main character), which is wonderful on its own but even more so as it was the most successful film at the Italian box office in 2023.

Please please please support women directors, especially those who are not american and struggle to get to an international public.

Paola Cortellesi and Emanuela Fanelli in "There's still tomorrow"/"C'è ancora domani" (2023)

I'm begging all feminists to watch this movie if you haven't, it was huge in Italy and deserves more international recognition

thinking back on my childhood when I thought that my country liberated itself from fascism so no way they could come back again without a civil war

Thinking back on my childhood when I thought racism was over, Nazis no longer existed, cops were good, and America was the land of the free.

when I hear that from men who study math I always tell them "you're not good at math and it shows" because how have you never heard of Emmy Noether

men be like "if women are really that intelligent, why are all major discoveries made by men? 🤓" as if they didn’t quite literally burn women alive if they were smart back in the day

helloooo

just download tumblr again and saw a couple asks wondering where I was (thanks!!!)

a lot of things have been happening lately, mainly I'm busy writing my dissertation bc I'm about to graduate and my advisor told me she's going to be abroad for like a month so we have to cram a lot of the work now 😭😭 I'm having a lot of fun with that tho and have no stress university-wise

BUT ALSO next year I'm moving to another country to continue my studies and looking for a flat is absolutely draining me (the lack of dishwashers.......)

also, originally I took this kinda long hiatus from the blog bc I was organising some events and demonstration at my university, mainly feminism-related (maybe I'll write another post on that as well :))) ) it all went very well and I'm very proud

so yeah been doing lots of stuff but I admit I missed my radical feminist corner of this website 🫶🏻🫶🏻

what have you all been up to lately?????

hardest part about studying stem is not the stem it's the fucking incel classmates thinking they're special and smart

like ok we can all solve differential equations but can you do that while being a decent person? mm yeah didn't think so

We're not making it out of the patriarchy
