Remember when you see the trends, when you see things touting softness or meekness or dependence or subservience as desirable traits, when you see "clean girl" or "soft girl" or that beige/pink spotless house aesthetic, when you see homemaking and childrearing and domestic labor glamorized as Essentially Feminine Things, THAT IS PROPAGANDA.

If you Choose any of these things because they appeal to you personally and privately, that's one thing. If you feel that you Must do any of these things in order to be Desirable or Acceptable, you are eating the boot.

Remember that the patriarchy and the fascists WANT you soft. They want you waifish and babyfaced and demure and housebound and god-fearing and SILENT.

Remember always that no matter how soft or feminine or family-oriented you CHOOSE to be, you do not OWE that to anyone.

Remember always that feminism means choice and inclusion and equity. Anything that takes that away is anathema. Especially when it comes from other women.

Remember that trans women are your sisters too. Remember that an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us, and the oppression of ANY person's bodily autonomy or right to self-determination is oppression for ALL.

Remember that we stand together or we fall apart.

And remember that all of you have teeth.

USE THEM.

I am the type of lover that foresees collapse and dives in headfirst anyway. I am the type of lover that knew who he was all along and loved him anyway. I implored him, I craved him at every moment of the day and every second I did not spend with him was a waste of time to me. I loved him, I knew him, with his blood underneath my nails, tears down my shirt, pulling him into me and mourning his body that was still warm in my arms. I knew he wouldn’t stay from the very beginning, yet I played his game simply to draw him out of himself and to experience him fully as a person. I am rich, but not in the way you’d think, but my biggest pleasure in life is coaxing the life and humanity out of people and to collect their impressions on me and see the world as they do. It’s so beautiful to be human. I wish I could live like they do

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)
