i’m just really bummed out with the way that “empowered woman” has come to basically mean “conventionally attractive thin white woman with cool hair who owns 58 dildos” and judgement of how “empowered” other women are is invariably measured against that idea
i feel like people just use the word as shorthand for that idea instead of actually thinking about what empowerment is and how it can be different for different people
also i was thinking about this the other day
the vast majority of the time, i don’t shave my legs or pits, and i like it and it makes me feel like a cool badass
but like
i’m still not at a point where i feel comfy going out in public unshaved and if i’m gonna be out and about and i wanna wear shorts or a sleeveless shirt, yeah, i shave it all off
and a lot of women have approached me about this concern - that they like to stay unshaved but they’re still too self-conscious or nervous to go out unshaved
and i feel like there’s this underlying assumption that this insecurity makes you, like???? less empowered or less of a badass or even less of a feminist
and that is such bullshit
it’s not your fault that you don’t feel comfortable looking a certain way in public, esp when that discomfort stems from patriarchy, and it doesn’t mean that yr a bad feminist or that you aren’t empowered or that you aren’t cool
girls ask me all the time “how can i feel comfortable going out without my legs shaved? i’m still scared to” and it’s like
if you want to it’s v important to figure out how to be comfortable
but it’s also just not a requirement in general??? you don’t have to be okay w running around unshaved in public, you don’t have to be okay w ANYTHING that has to do w doing brave things w yr body, you don’t owe that to anyone
and this idea that the more confident you are, the more empowered you are is bullshit and i think it can be really toxic
you can be shy and insecure and not really that happy about how you look and still be a fucking badass and anyone who tries to insinuate otherwise is a jerk
high fives u
i bet u r the best religious ehsexual feminist ever

I know that a lot of people are struggling financially so I’m not asking for donations/purchases (the only reason I have a donate button on my blog is in case ebay doesn’t work).
I’ve set up five blogs with ads on them. According to my friend (who has the same on her blog), CLICKSOR is a virus free ad program, but I’d scan your system every now and then just to make sure.
- collections-of-expresssions (blue hyperlink)
- dead—and—alive (blue hyperlink)
- norm-ativity (graphical)
- magnificentmuse (graphical/blue hyperlink)
- working-dreams (graphical)
If you click on the hyperlink of a post, you’ll see more ads.
You can’t click directly on a hyperlink; you have to hover your cursor over it until a green rectangle entitled CLICKSOR pops up. There’s a black hyperlink inside, that’s what you click on.
If you click on an individual ad more than five times a day, my account is invalidated. You can, however, click on all of the ads on a page. There is no limit to how many pages you browse.
Thank you.

never let anyone convince you that you deserve anything less than complete happiness
stick up for everyone around u, don’t ever let anyone face scary hard things alone if there’s any way you can help them
always do the right thing even when it’s hard but don’t forget that you need to protect yrself too
be as confident as you can manage, don’t beat yrself up over things u can’t change, be kind 2 yrself bc u r already rlly rlly cool
autism speaks is a bullshit organization. they don’t actually give a shit about ppl on the autism spectrum, they just care about making money (hence all the $$$ on the post)
they consistently speak over ppl w autism, have no ppl w autism on any of their decision making boards or staff, and have consistently ignored the protests and complaints of ppl w autism regarding their practices and statements
u could do yr own homework to see all their shit, tbh, bc again mamamantis is not an alternate spelling of google.com like so many of you seem to believe
but the majority of statements ive seen about autism speaks have been from folks on the autism spectrum saying “yo this is fucked up and harmful and you shouldn’t donate to them”
