Womanhood (Routine Experiences):

A new friend (F55) and I (F49) went to a disco together. We danced, yay! An unfamiliar, very drunk man tried to dance with her. She politely refused, then I had to make sure I was between her and him. Eventually we had to move across the dance floor away from him. We walked home together when I wanted to go, even though she would have stayed later.

Life never changes.

Whatever would we do without the patriarchy 🙄

I’d like to find out.
#SmashThePatriarchy

Today one of my male colleagues learned about the plight of women with respect to clothing without #pockets

He was shocked to learn that adequate pockets was yet another privilege of maleness.

The more I read and the more I understand, the more I know the horrible truth: men are evil, evaluated as a group. Individually, there may be good members but on the whole? Nope.

#SmashThePatriarchy

It’s forcing me to take a hard look at myself, my beliefs, my actions past and present, and the ways I benefit from evil men. I’m horrified and humbled.

Like, can we put women in charge and see how things go for a while? I can guarantee it’ll be better for women, and for men (eventually, when we train them up better).

Other than that, I don’t exactly know how to fix things other than making damn sure I’m the best I can be every day.

Everything that has been written by men about women should be viewed with suspicion, because they are both judge and party.

—Poulain de la Barre

Poulain was writing about gender equality over 300 years ago. His essay “On the Equality of the Two Sexes” is worth a read.

Happy Birthday, Alexandra Kollontai! Heute 1872 geboren, erste Ministerin und erste Diplomatin der Welt, neben Luxemburg & Zetkin sicher eine der bedeutendsten Revolutionärinnen im 20. Jh. Bis heute werden ihre Werke vom Kanon der Geschichtswissenschaft ignoriert, ihre Ideen in der feministischen Wissenschaft übersehen. Ein Thread /1

Put another pin on one of my hats, next to a patch with a pentagram.
The pin is rather small, you would have to come really close to read it, but it's there. 💪
