Raise hell for abortion rights.
Digital illustration of a devil fem wearing a red fringe dress. There’s a ribbon banner wrapping around her body that reads ‘raise hell for abortion rights.’ At her boots are flames and along with little devil spirits with fireballs.

Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together. They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point. They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do. This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate.

“Woman is not born; she is made. In the making, her humanity is destroyed. She becomes symbol of this, symbol of that: mother of the earth, slut of the universe; but she never becomes herself because it is forbidden for her to do so.”
Andrea Dworkin, Pornography: Men Possessing Women (1981)

The heterosexual female experience is liking a boy and realizing he is some sort of incel. That’s how tragic it is. We fall in love with our own oppressors. And it’s us who need to wake up and realize this or keep wasting our lives waiting for them to change. We only have only life. Honestly make some female friends, forget about men and just live.

"Atkinson's declaration, and others such as Firestone's that claimed lesbianism to be 'limited' or 'sick' and stated that lesbians often 'believed they were men' (Firestone 65-66), made it clear to many lesbians that radical feminism's conceptions of women's oppression spoke on behalf of only a specific group of women. But unlike feminists of color who often disengaged themselves from the women’s liberation movement or formed feminist coalitions specifically dedicated to the issues of racism, many white lesbians agitated within the framework of radical feminism in order to make it more receptive to - and active for - lesbians in general. In so doing, lesbian feminists were to posit new definitions of what it meant to be a woman, lesbian and feminist and did so in such a way as to change irrevocably the concept of female community within feminism.”
Dana R. Shugar: Separatism and Women's Community, page 17

‘Feminism for the 99 percent embraces class struggle and the fight against institutional racism. It centers the concerns of working-class women of all stripes: whether racialized, migrant, or white; ciz, trans, or gender non-conforming; housewives or sex workers; paid by the hour, the week, the month, or not at all; unemployed or precarious; young or old. Staunchly internationalist, it is firmly opposed to inperialism and war. Feminism for the 99 percent is not only antineoliberal, but also anticapitalist’
Feminism for the 99%: a manifesto by Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser

Dear God,
Send me a nice understanding girl, not too rich, not too poor, not too pretty but not ugly either,
Not too bright, bright he won’t need, a kind, warm, sensible, generous girl who’ll appreciate his good points,
Who understands about his work, whatever the heck it turns out to be, who doesn’t talk too much, and most of all,
Who loves kids.
This is a mothers wish, The Robber Bride, Margaret Atwood

“[Woman] is held responsible for everything bad, fearful, alienating that ever happened to the fully-human-[Man]. Any assertion of female self leads to the inevitable decline of society; and when the abominable She calls attention to herself as human, not object, she violates the male's most essential sense of masculine self.
In his view, she is not a woman unless she acts like a woman as he has defined woman.”
Andrea Dworkin, Pornography: Men Possessing Women (1981)

Quote
Debased men need to degrade women, so that the struggle to subordinate women becomes a basic struggle for male identity as such; in liberation movements, women get a temporary pass from complete servility, because they can be used and useful in any subversion or underground fighting. Once the liberation struggle is won, the women are recolonialized, as happened in Nicaragua, Israel itself, or Algeria. Every time an oppressed group gets state power through which it can express its integrity as people, it destroys the sovereignty of women over their own bodies, so that state power is built directly on the violation of women's integrity. Once debased men become powerful men, the degrading of women becomes a state-protected right; and power most often also requires the demeaning of a racial or ethnic or religious other. Empowered masculinity gets its vitality and arrogance from its newest victory over women, a victory enhanced by the resources and mechanisms of state power.
Andrea Dworkin, Scapegoat: The Jews, Israel, and Women’s Liberation (2000)
