male entitlement in academic spaces is so boring. can’t tell you how many times i’ve been in a class and a girl gives a short, insightful analysis, and then a dude raises his hand and says “jumping off of that…” then says literally the same thing she said but longer and worse.

There's a lot sickening about the human rights violations occurring against Adriana Smith right now, but one of the ones that's really searing me is that they're gonna use her death and experimentation as a medical lesson or method of "saving babies" that they'll try not to bring up in textbooks. It's been that same pattern for the entirety of gynecology in America; Black women are used as guinea pigs to test shit in order to become "good enough" to save everyone else. Not bad enough that were 3x more likely to die in childbirth when we walk into the birthing room, not bad enough that no one takes our pain seriously at any medical stage. No, NOW I gotta worry about my family having to pay the bills to keep my dead body warm for a Black baby that, if it's born, will face a world that will treat it just as inhumanely as the Black mother it came from. Bc they're not gonna give a shit about it once it's born. CRAZY.

Anyway read Medical Apartheid by Harriet A Washington, if you need "receipts" for how Black bodies have long been abused for the "sake of medical progress".

feminism shouldn’t be about patting housewives on the back for making that decision but it should be about making sure that if that housewife’s husband starts cheating or slapping her around that she can be taken seriously, get a divorce, not have everyone in her life turn against her, not force her to send the children back to his house every other weekend where he starves them just to send her a message, and not be left in financial ruin

Love the Decameron girlie who's so Catholic she creeps out the other medieval Italians. Her adoring gay husband just like, my darling, this brunch doesn't deserve to hear about your well time. Your miraculous rescue by the lord's hunkiest angel is as pearls before swine.
