Female Class Consciousness - Blog Posts

Imma be real as a mentally ill woman one of the hardest things is that being on my period makes it extremely hard for me to stay emotionally regulated and yet men will use that as a reason to further discredit me and every other woman

No it isn’t “girlboss” or feminist to say that you don’t care about the rape of Israeli women because of what’s happening in Palestine

The fact that people are claiming that they won’t trust the allegations against Neil Gaiman because the author of the article is “TeRfy” is bullshit. People cry out “support victims” unless the supposedly wrong kind of person calls attention to it. Like fuck man just the age range between Gaiman and his victims is more than enough evidence for me

Women I need some advice:

I’ve been having frequent headaches and some pain in my arms and legs more recently despite not working out. I’ve also felt incredibly fatigued even when going to bed earlier and sleeping in to get proper hours of sleep. I have a blood test soon though I’m not sure if that will catch any irregularities.

Does anybody recognize any possible health problems that I’m not aware of?

Yall are so sweet seriously :)

For the record anybody who asks where I’m going to university is not going to get an answer until after I graduate

Just saw an instagram reel where this girl was showing a cup cover she uses to protect herself from her drinks being spiked and all OF THE MEN IN THE COMMENTS WERE MAKING SUGGESTIONS FOR HOW TO SPIKE THE DRINK WITH THE COVER ON

FUCK THESE FREAKS

I’M SO SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING MEN CRY “not all men” WHEN THIS IS THE SHIT THAT GOES DOWN ON SOCIAL MEDIA

I feel like a lot of feminism offline would get considered discourse on tumblr

I'm so tired of the "I'm just a girl" memes. Stop infantilizing yourselves for the sake of internet clout. Do you see men using "boys will be boys" to paint themselves as nothing but idiots? No!

Stop finding ways to shrink yourself and take up the space that men take for free!

Something I think about a lot is how women, myself included, have been afraid of being pregnant even when we haven't had any sexual contact with a man. To me that says something but I'm not entirely sure what

"Anakin wouldn't do that"

"He was the greatest Jedi ever how would he turn to the dark side"

"There's still hope in him"

"There's still good in him"

Star wars makes a point of establishing how despite genocide and the conquering of worlds Anakin can still somehow be a good person. Yet what I find fascinating from a feminist perspective is these are very similar words to how women's abusers are excused. Even Padme's last words being that Anakin has good in him is so eerily similar to how abused women go back to their husbands out of the misguided beliefs that the abuse is not who their partner truly is.

Anakin Skywalker is the epitome of how men can do the most heinous of deeds and find redemption because society won't stop looking for the good in them

So funny to me when people say that they're a communist but then buy makeup because "the company says they support feminism."

Chances are they're just saying whatever gets you buying the makeup

Growing up female is traumatic. From a young age I remember being terrified that I was going to be harrassed because I had developed faster and more obviously than my peers. Even now I shudder at the idea of having to bend over in front of men of any age. I got catcalled twice at 17 by other boys my age. I couldn't drive and I was waiting for my mom to come pick up from school and two boys from inside a car at the pick up line yelled something sexual at me. I will spare you the deals but despite my false bravado and real rage I felt nothing more than embarrassed and ashamed once they had left. I had rumors around my sexual life even before I had a serious relationship of any kind and I had male friends who had found me being sexually innocent funny. The things they'd watch and openly show me was nothing more than disgusting yet the idea of exploring my sexuality and then finding out I was bisexual had me ashamed because I thought that they would be weirded out

I can go on but I won't

The fact people are so upset with pornhub requiring Age Verification in certain USA states is so bizarre but funny to me. Women are being abused and trafficked and raped yet apparently your reason for boycotting is the fact you now have to be 18 in certain states to access porn??????

I think a lot of what people call radical feminism on tumblr is really feminism 101 but people don’t want to acknowledge that being born female means that in almost all of the world if not the entire world puts us at an innate disadvantage

I feel like a lot of women grow up feeling "not like other girls" because we're constantly pushed so many differing views of what it means to be a woman that we end up overlooking that we are all still girls and later women regardless of our personalities

Not to start shit but you ever think about how most men will never post on International men's day but when it's international women's day they complain all the time about international men's day not getting any attention

Men's mental health month is also in June but many of them would rather complain about gay people having pride month than actually use that month to talk about men's mental health

If I'm entirely honest one of the harder things about being a feminist is simply realizing how pervasive misogyny still is even in the United States. Like Roe v Wade got overturned and women are being thrown in jail for needing life saving abortions. Yet men will face less time in prison for putting abortion pills in their girlfriends/wives' drinks. Absolute Insanity

I find it extremely strange how men will complain about the draft and women not taking high risk jobs but if anything they should be blaming other men or their ancestors for this since it was men who decided women couldn't join the work force or the military
