365 Ways of Feminism - Day 321
The best way to dehumanize someone while claiming you’re not is to believe you are just the same. You erase their experiences and perspective, their struggles and obstacles, their unique way of having to deal with those things in a world that also erases them. With the words, ‘but humans are humans’ or the bullshit dramatics of ‘we all bleed red’ normal people can simply pretend that if we all did things the way they did, then everything would work out okay. But, yes, we all bleed red but you don’t treat a papercut the same way you treat a gash, you don’t treat an infected wound the same way you treat one that isn’t, you don’t treat a wound to the leg the same way you treat a wound to the gut. You are not acknowledging someone’s personhood when you ignore the very things that make their lives different than yours, and when you refuse to understand that their circumstances have given them their own perspective that is just as valid as yours. More valid in fact – their perspective about their experiences that you haven’t been through is far more valid than anything you could ever think about it.

I Will Not be Silenced by Midge Blitz
(a revised, non-symbol version of this)
is that y’all literally CANNOT comprehend how some women can be critical of patriarchy and your heteropatriarchal attitudes while simultaneously engaging in relations(hips) with men.
it’s not impossible to like/love/value men and also dislike their bullshit.
i LOVE men. really, i do.
but if you think that means i’m going to tailor every part of my existence to suit random men’s wishes, then you are sorely mistaken.and if you can’t understand that simple nuance, well…maybe you’re the one who needs to do some critical self-analysis here.
The bolded part ^^^
Also this isn’t just some men on tumblr :(

Every time we organize, we love each other, we forgive each other, we heal each other, every time we name this shit, we are a threat. Breathe, play, fuck, rest, resist sisters, we are beautiful threats.

first of all, who let me get so emotionally invested in a television show

men at large think they are being robbed of something when an attractive woman with a 90% chance of developing breast cancer gets a double mastectomy
what better illustration of the male sense of sexual entitlement do you need
I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.
It would just make my heart soar if someone out there saw this and she said to herself; be strong, trust yourself, love yourself, conquer your fears, just go after what you want and act fast because life just isn’t that long.
