I love Matilda because it's a story about a child who sees injustice around her and gets mad about it and questions why things aren't fair, and instead of the ending being that she learns how the world works and that life isn't fair, she catapults one of the adults who abused her out of a building with her mind

“As women of one country achieve more equality, men seek out women with fewer options elsewhere - a pattern observable sexually in sex trafficking, sex tourism, and mail -order brides and economically in labor trafficking, international outsourcing to sweatshops, and relocation of production in dominant countries to sources of cheap female labor in countries whose gross domestic product is less than that of some of the multinational corporations that locate there. No more than clean air can women's equality be successfully achieved in one country. No woman will be free until all women are equal.” ― Catharine A. MacKinnon, Are Women Human?

For anyone who’s wondering. This is a sculpture from Luo Li Rong, a contemporary artist that makes hyper realistic sculptures (usually out of bronze) . This one is made of clay (not marble) because it was the prototype of the actual sculpture.

Thinking about that Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote that's like "When I'm sometimes asked when will there be enough [women on the Supreme Court] and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that." You can apply this to everything, from members of governments to the authors whose books you read. Men are centered almost everywhere and have been for years. Equality doesn't have to be 50% men and 50% women. It can be 100% women to balance the decades when it was 100% men. Choose women's liberation and choose only women.
