i cannot put into words how sad i get when i see girls/women talking about wanting to get cosmetic surgery. there is nothing fucking wrong with having a face/body. why do you need to drop thousands to live up to a beauty standard? “omfg it’s her choice. y’all are feminists until it comes to what she chooses to do with surgery”. yes because why did she feel the need to make that choice? why can’t we accept that plastic surgery is meant to feed off of women’s insecurities?
i remember being told when i was about 12 and wanted to be a doctor “you could be a plastic surgeon” and immediately saying that i didn’t wanna see women pay me to “fix” them. i hate plastic surgery so bad. i know societal pressure is rough but it’s really not worth it :(
would encourage those interested in feminist/radical feminist/materialist feminist literature and ebooks to consider buying directly from spinifex press instead of amazon! it is a bit more costly to do so but there is probably no other publishing company with as extensive of a feminist catalogue and mission entirely and explicitly dedicated to highlighting and dismantling sex-based oppression for women, girls, gays, and lesbians. fiction, non-fiction, black authors, native authors, asian authors, lesbian authors, bisexual authors, mothers, child-free women, atheists, the religious, spiritual women, academics, doctors, lawyers, elders, artists, young women, trafficking survivors, abuse survivors, poetry, anthologies, critical analyses, vintage works, medical histories, memoirs, and so much more all through a [radical] feminist lens. a beautiful collection of diverse feminist thought, theory, and history. even if you can't buy anything, join their free newsletter and zoom meetings!
plus, with a changing technological landscape like ours it's a good idea to immortalize these books in physical print in our own libraries. how many movies can no longer be found on any streaming site or in any library with their physical copies going for hundreds of dollars on secondhand sites?
preserve your media and support a feminist company that still has its claws and fangs!

Two people are standing in front of you. One is male, and says “I want to share a space with her”. The other is female, and says “I don’t want to share a space with him”.
Think: Which person do you listen to? Which person’s desires do you care more about? Which person’s preferences do you think are more important? Which person’s boundaries do you think are less important? Which person do you think is more important, and which person do you think is less important? Why?
"I don't feel like a girl" "I don't feel like a boy"
There isn't a specific way to feel as a girl or boy. Patriarchy has been forced to us how we're supposed to "act" in order to fit the patriarchal standard. Anyone can be feminine or masculine, anyone doesn't have to be feminine or masculine, it's okay to not "fit" in a gender stereotype. The point is we're not supposed to, we're just humans.
since i'm putting in effort to revamp this blog and use it more, i might as well make an about me:
hi, my name is dot (short for dorothy). i'm adult years old and i live in the great city of wouldn't you like to know-ville.
i'm crypto. in fact, if i'm reblogging posts from you, it's very likely i follow you on my main.
you might know me on other websites as vampface or vampfacing.
DNI/DNF: anyone not willing to engage in good faith. everyone else welcome, i don't mind cryptos following me and i don't mind "hatefollows" from TRAS.
beliefs: abolish the sex industry. LGB without the T. the beauty industry calls women ugly to sell us shit. 4B, we will not free ourselves by coupling with our oppressors. men can't become women and vice versa. BDSM fetishes are normalized domestic violence. non violent fetishes are used to sexually exploit all aspects of female existence. believe all women, yes, even that one you don't like. i stand with JKR. yes, all men. Feminism should be intersectional. Not your uterus, not your opinion (Pro-abortion and pro-choice).
This genuinely vindictive evil man is trying to drown his rape victims in legal debt. Male celebrities doing the woke song and dance do nothing but arouse suspicion and contempt from me.
Waiting to hear what Pedro Pascal is hiding behind his stupid "uwu I'm a smol bean 55 year old man let me rub you bc I have anxiety" act.
