#feminism 2024

[dreamlanddoll]

been seeing a lot of posts on here that are like "we need a new feminist movement it's become so commercialized/consumer based" (which I don't entirely disagree with but that's for another post) and "what happened to feminism like did we all just stop caring?" when there's a whole 4b movement happening in Korea and women like Drew Afualo are more influential than ever like babes please I am begging you to go outside or at least on a different app on tumblr I promise you there is still feminism out there it's just that at some point everyone on this app suddenly decided they wanted to start coddling men's feelings for whatever reason.

This thread is incredibly important to read.

It is also extremely difficult to read. I don't know if I need to point this out, but the document itself is obviously full of bigotry so please take care of yourself if you choose to read it. Antisemitic phrases like "cultural marxism" and "global elites" appear before the document even really gets rolling, and are mixed in with transphobia, racism, and more.

If you want a taste of how this document starts in the first main section about "The Family", here is a taste:

"This starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”), gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term used to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists."

It is all bad. ALL of this document is bad, and dangerous, and threatens the lives and the safety of everyone living in this country.

Call her Harris not Kamala. If you don't call him Joe and you don't call him Donald, don't call her by her first name.

Friendly reminder that VP Harris officiated the marriage of a gay couple in 2004, before a generation of voters was even born

She then opposed Proposition 8

This is someone who has consistently fought for the legal rights of the lgbt population, and she's running against a party that actively plans to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges

I’m a teacher and I spent so much of my own money paying for students’ lunches.

The government already pays for some students’ free lunch- but not all.

Half of my students were on federal free lunch- but the other half were not. The students knew instantly who was poor and who wasn’t -some students needed free lunch but didn’t qualify. So, in an effort to help I gave some students my lunch number.

No child should be in “lunch debt.”

No child should go hungry because they don’t have lunch money.

I promise you- starving kids hurts educational outcomes far more than books about gay penguins.

Vice-President Kamala Harris tells a young supporter in Iowa "You never have to ask anyone for permission to lead, when you want to lead you just lead" and then has her repeat it back.

As a physiologist let me say a few words.

I don’t care about sports. I don’t give a damn about the Olympics for other reasons I won’t talk about. But I’m pissed now.

If we are to disqualify the people from the Olympics, we should be 100% fair. No biological advantages allowed!

2-meter-tall basketball player? No way, that’s unfair.

That gymnast with hyper-mobility? BOO. Unfair.

Usain Bolt with the gene ensuring the composition of his muscles? How dare he?

Believe or not, the professional sport is based on anomalies and mutation. That’s the selection. It sucks and it’s not fair but it is what it is.

Also, having these mutations doesn’t mean you’re automatically great at sports - I’m shit at gymnastics while being hypermobile as fuck. So it’s still unfair even to us expressing these traits, lol.

There are XY AFAB women!!!

This happens during the pregnancy if the child has male chromosomes but there is not enough male hormones in the development of the baby resulting in the baby being assigned female at birth. It’s a form of intersex, but there is literally no physical difference between such child and XX AFAB baby.

Those are cis women. Not trans men. Not even trans men.

The people screaming about the Olympics being a disgrace and the proof of collapse of the society are literally the people who are usually like “there are two genders based on what’s in their pants”. Now it’s the chromosomes you’re checking?

Maybe you are an XY-woman, maybe your sister is. You don’t know.

Stop using biology for spreading misinformation about intersex people, transgender people and women in general.

" Even though it's getting worse, even though it's just as devastating as Al Shifa hospital being bombed, fewer people are talking about us. They've forgetten us"

These messages were sent by many Palestinians in different words.

Please don't stop talking about them.

Don't get distracted by the entertainment industry. Much more important things need your attention. Lives depend on it

PARIS, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Afghan female athlete Manizha Talash, a member of the refugee Olympic team at the Paris Games, displayed the words "Free Afghan Women" on her cape during her breaking routine in the competition's pre-qualifiers on Friday.

Political slogans and statements are banned on the field of play and on podiums at the Olympics, meaning Talash could face a potential sanction.
