-white people don’t know what it feels like to be oppressed because of your race.
-cis men don’t know what it feels like to be oppressed because of your gender.
-thus they cannot tell people who are actually oppressed for these reasons how to deal with it.

“WHY WUD U HAVE CHILDREN IF U CAN’T AFFORD THEM??” —people who I want to punch until they realize we live in a world where women are routinely denied access to birth control by abusive significant others, a dominant religious influence on society, a male-dominated government often influenced by that religion, and more.

real women
Posted on June 23, 2011
Excuse me while I throw this down, I’m old and cranky and tired of hearing the idiocy repeated by people who ought to know better.
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small...

The first is especially insulting and demeaning because it implies that women need to be told constantly that they’re beautiful so they’ll believe it, and that a woman’s only source of unhappiness lies in her apparently inevitable low self esteem. It also implies that it’s a woman’s job to look…

aboutmaleprivilege:
When you (as a woman) express your doubts about an issue/thought/notion and get the answer “You’re just overanalyzing.” No, that’s called thinking and (get this, it’s a shocker) disagreeing.

the hardest part about being a feminist is knowing that one day soon i will grow 15 feet and my arms will shrink and i will become a t-rex with an insatiable appetite for man blood
and there’s nothing i can do to stop it
the transformation has already begun i can feel it in my bones
" we all bleed red"
coldeyesthatburn:

aboutmaleprivilege:
Being a feminist isn’t about shaming a woman for being feminine, and it certainly isn’t about hating men. Feminism is about accepting all females—whether they be “butch” or “Barbie” or trans*, or anything else in between—and showing that being who you are is not an offense to society. Generally,…
