You know after finding radical feminism, and engaging with the theory seriously, I understand now what it means to be empowered. In the genuine, legitimate way. I feel like an actual human being, an actual animal, with actual thoughts and feelings that are HEARD. And UNDERSTOOD. By so many women of whom I was taught to dismiss and scorn.
Like I stopped shaving a few weeks ago. I feel empowered to do that, having been given the tools to stand up against the glares and the snide comments.
I stopped wearing makeup a few months ago. I felt empowered to do that, realising that my actual human face is worth something more than a decoration.
I started eating well and working out. I felt empowered to do that, having come to the realisation that I'm a human being with thoughts and desires and what the fuck was I doing with my life if I wasn't becoming the buff, athletic, energetic woman I dreamed about becoming as a child.
All of these things are not offered by liberal feminism. All of these things are sidelined as a choice that some women...."you know the type"..... did when they were scared and angry and stupidly lashing out at the poor men and their 'simple expectations for women's hygiene'. BULLSHIT.
I'm working on grounding myself in my own pov, one that isn't an invisible male audience. I'm arming myself with the knowledge to fight back against anti-feminist movements, and how to identify them. I'm working on centring women, and thinking critically about my own actions in relation to ALL of this.
How the fuck have I missed all of this for the majority of my life. I am a HUMAN BEING???????!? NOT A DECORATION????!?!?!???? Literally mind blowing, and
I never noticed it until now????????.
Every woman in my life is traditionally feminine. I believe they will shun me for being an extremist if I express my anger at the patriarchy. Idk but if this is extreme what the fuck is normal. Who made this up. When can I kill him 😭

while im at it—
thanks @kiradical for the tag!
last song i listened to:
just answered this in a different post but it’s Asher White Misses The Good Old Days by Asher White from the album Asher White Sells Herself and Buys the World (god i love saying that full title its so funny to me)
sorta folk indie vibes, i really love how she melds her voice into the instrumental like it’s not the focal piece. really cultivates a great vibe with the mixing.
current favorite song:
oh fuck me i am bad at favorites but everyone should listen to Call in the Coroner by Days n Daze from the album Rogue Taxidermy it fucks real good i love it.
i recently described these two vocalists to a friend as “a spitting broken engine block and an angel fallen from heaven who learned how to scream” and yknow what. it still works imo. i love the way their voices layer so beautifully onto each other texturally.
song of my choice:
ANY SONG?? of MY CHOICE?? then you know itll be marika hackman—
The Yellow Mile off of Marika Hackman’s newest album The Yellow Mile, came out in january, fresh and warm like paper from the printer. it’s so fucking good. this album is a damn beautiful showing of how shes changed and flexed as an artist, and a damn good depiction of the sort of swirling inviting whirlpool of a really controlling partner coming into your life and the sharp immediate gap left by getting away from them. this song is a fucking poetic masterpiece as far as im concerned. that refrain at the end is a knife in my gut. marika hackman you will always be famous to me 🫡
boom get tagged idiots: @p-paradoxa @guy-girlfriend @oatshow the lads. my lads. my beloved fellas.
