Can we stop pretending that the correct response to “feminists are ugly” is to show pictures of beautiful women? as if women who aren’t beautiful are lesser feminists… as if one of the points of feminism isn’t to liberate women from beauty standards… as if beauty is our only worth… as if it isn’t excluding so many women
I am honestly so supportive of young women and girls who don’t want to present themselves as sexual, whether they’re asexual, sex-repulsed, politically celibate, women who don’t want to feel or be sexy, or women who just don’t want to discuss it. I’m supportive whether this is something temporary or permanent, whatever the reason for it.
If sex isn’t liberating for you, that’s great. There’s nothing wrong with that and I’m sorry you’re being sold the lie that you’re repressed and/or unfeminist.
don’t romanticize basic rights
it’s not attractive that a man is a feminist
it’s not sexy that a man finally realizes the prejudice against women and how very oppressed women are
it’s common sense

I want little Arab girls to know that they’re beautiful and valued. That their arm hair and fuzzy faces and unibrows are beautiful. That the darker skin under their eyes is inherited from generations of women who’ve survived a world that didn’t care if they made it, at best. That they share blood with warrior women, whose simply daily lives were a testament to strength of will. I want them to know they can be anything. They can be architects and build us a brand new world, they can be chefs and make people happy with their food, they can be visual artists and awe us with the glimpses they give us of the world through their eyes, they can be journalists and show us what goes on beyond our own communities, they can be tradeswomen and build with their hands, they can be fashion designers and awe us with their attention to detail and creativity. They can be anything. And they can start at any time.
If you ever see a bad picture of yourself just think about sunsets
Have you ever tried to take a picture of a sunset with a crappy camera? It turns out like shit. I mean that could be the most beautiful sunset you’ve ever seen in your life and the photo looks gross.
That doesn’t mean the sunset isn’t breathtaking, it just means the camera can’t contain it’s beauty.
You are a gorgeous motherfucking sunset never forget that

instead of saying we need to ~stop thinking women are beautiful angels and learn that there are evil/bad women out there~, maybe we need to realize that girls shouldn’t be divided into super strict categories, but actually treated like a...
lol our society is so structured on binaries that people think cats are the opposite of dogs
we also regard dogs as “masculine” and cats as “feminine” to the point that it’s “weird” for men to love cats, women and gay men are stereotyped as liking cats, and creepiest of all, cats are stereotyped as “sexy” animals
Im 100% grossed out by this
this fits into my confusion as to why it’s perfectly acceptable to hate cats but blasphemy to hate dogs

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
