LMAO!
Slavery was a tradition, I’m supposed to respect that?
Remember when it was against the law for black people to own property and to vote and to use the same fucking water fountains as white people? FOH.
PREACH
Everyone wants to talk about how defensive and heartless black women are without discussing how it happened.

Dear Woke White People,
StandardIf you really care then don’t be afraid to check your people.
You could really be saving a life.
Got you
This is the most important thing. Don’t run around talking about “I’m not racist” and “I’m an ally” …….but then stay silent and unmoving when your fellow whites start spewing hate.
ESPECIALLY if it’s “just a joke”. That shit ain’t cute, and you ain’t slick.
It physically pains me to see people (especially women) attacking men for identifying as feminists. Like second hand embarrassment for real. Just remember that there are always other feminists of all genders who are glad to hear you! 😙
StandardI will NEVER EVER get mad when a woman doesn’t trust me or my motives in the feminist space. Men have created the conditions that make women feel like they cant even walk outside let alone trust a man. I don’t blame them at all. I’d be skeptical too. I know how they think i may be isn’t who i am. And i take that. My job isn’t to look cool or be loved. Just support those fighting the good fight. I don’t get upset with women who say men can’t be feminists, because men made feminism necessary. My hurt feelings will heal. Its nothing compared to centuries of womens’ oppression
honestly im begging yall dont fuck with spirits like yall be mad as hell when someone wake you up from a nap imagine if u been dead for years and some asshole wake u outta yo sleep
I am *constantly* having to defend these points to people in everyday life. I tell my Grandmother who wants to wear cap sleeves but feels she’s too old that they suit her and life is too short for other people’s fashion rules. I defend a family member who wears revealing clothing every time someone makes a snide remark, “You know one day we’ll all be old and then dead, why not enjoy your body while you’re here. Plus she looks fucking beautiful, fuck you!” The time for that piercing or tattoo or haircut you’ve always wanted is now, you’re not too old, it’s not too late, you’re not too fat or too tall or too flat and fuck anyone who would judge your temple and the way you choose to decorate it. The time for pink hair is now! The time to love yourself is now! Fuck anyone who is low enough to trash you for expressing yourself or feeling good in this body. Fuck policing the bodies of young women, old women, large women, naked women, modest women, butch women, breastfeeding women, all women. Fuck this mythology that pregnancy and motherhood erases or trumps your sexual identity. It’s a lie! Our culture likes to strip us of our power when we’re at our most powerful.
Fuck sexist school dress codes, I led a revolt in my middle school, little Heart the choir girl and her army of grade 7 girls in crop tops, they told us it was distracting to the male staff and I had a BIG FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THAT. (My parents we’re 100% behind me and my Dad shared all of his student activism tactics from the 70′s, he’s a legend.) What I learned from that experience is that usually when people are putting the focus on weak ass shit like this it’s because they’re trying to take the focus off of something else.

The Myth of the Extraordinary Woman doesn’t challenge sexism. Having one female character in a group of male characters who deserves to be there because she “earned their respect” by “being the best” does NOTHING to threaten the patriarchy, because it’ll just isolate her as an aberrant case. MOST women are useless, but THIS ONE is special.
You know what does threaten the patriarchy? Communities of women. Older female mentors taking younger ones under their wing. Presenting a united front to sexism. Women who don’t even WANT to join the boy’s club, who seek the approval of other women, and value THEIR opinions over gatekeeping sexists.
