You can't be a feminist without also being <activist for unrelated cause>.
You can't fight for women's rights without also fighting for <group that is not just women>'s rights.
Actually the only thing required to being a feminist is fighting for women's rights. And that is enough. You can be a feminist and a feminist only because women's rights matter by themselves.
god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything
Just read this humble passage before you bark racism. And yeah, Indian men deserve the image of being rapists because they actually are.
this post a moid made a couple days back is blowing up rn on twitter and like..there is nothing to say to this except for yeah wbk lol. girls are already aware of how violently sexist most males are and the way they talk about us in private with their friends. I just find the “if you think a known sex trafficker and abuser is bad, all the men you know are worse!” posturing crazy when these same types start crying and pissing themselves and frothing at the mouth over “not all men!!” when we bring up the exact same things they’re telling on themselves about like LMAOOO scrotes need to shut up forever!
Hmmm I know octopuses are generally sweet and gentle and are just curious sea puppies (and I love them!), that being said, the thoughts of being dragged by my feet by one of them into the deep and dark ocean is… safe to say new fear has been unlocked

While reading "caliban and the witch" and "women as wombs" I was struck by the realization of how similar Mechanical Philosopy's and christian ideas during the industrial revolution sound to today's transhumanism-queer theory-trans activism-liberal feminism (and the rest of Donna Harraway's fandom) . I also draw the parallel between the two historical periods - intense evolution of technology and society.
Here's the table of these similarities. Any thoughts? 🙏

The English words related to tool follow the patriarchal dichotomy of sex-based task assignment: the inside of a house, the female realm, and the outside, male sphere of activity. Housework, tasks performed inside a house, are "women's work," while tasks performed outside are "men's work." This division of labor is meaningful to English speakers even though they may not be conscious of its existence. Men use tools, instruments (with the exception of a few musical instruments), implements, machines, and gizmos outside. Women use utensils, appliances, and gadgets inside. In English, we speak of kitchen utensils, kitchen appliances, and kitchen gadgets—used by women, they are not considered tools. A search of the tools listed in Roget's International Thesaurus (1977) reveals only a few items stereotypically used by women (tweezers, nail file, bread knife, scissors), but numerous names for equipment reserved to the male sphere specifying types of drill, clutch, saw, plane, hammer, and wrench. Recently, though, KitchenAid has begun to advertise one of its mixers as a POWER TOOL, a tactic that blurs the boundary between the two experiential domains. Its actual effect, however, reenforces the barrier. Because women are leaving their interior domain for the male domain of "real" work, the ad imports the [+ male] phrase, power tool, and applies it to the equipment women use in a kitchen. Nothing has to change but the label applied to the objects women use; our "domain" remains the kitchen.
Man, the anthropologists tell us, distinguishes himself from other animals by his use of tools. Any object restricted to male use and ownership is a "tool," whether it's language, a hammer, or a penis. Men speak of their penises as tools, and describe their activity in heterosexual intercourse as "screwing," "nailing," "banging," "reaming," "drilling," and "hammering." So intense is the male obsession with their "tools" and females as containers or holes they penetrate that any two objects suggestive of that description, for example, electrical outlets and plugs, nuts and bolts, will have the metaphor imposed upon them. The essential distinction of PUD [Patriarchal Universe of Discourse] is the one which identifies the FUCKER and the FUCKEE.

I miss when I would get Tumblr asks that actually said things and weren't just digital panhandling scams.
