I was very surprised when I started realising older women are not very respected/taken seriously by society. I always loved talking to old ladies. I have befriended women who were old enough to be my mother. My great grandmother was one of the funniest women I ever met, who liked telling jokes and would put a funny twist into any little anecdote. Old lady jokes are the best. I love hearing their stories. And I think more people should listen to them.
Oh my fucking god guys. "Womxn" and "Womyn" are NOT the same thing.
Womyn is a terf thing.
Womxn is older, and was related to women of color feeling so different from white women they chose to call themselves that, and some queer women followed. Womxn is owned by queer women and women of color exclusively, TERFs are NOT welcome or entitled to it.
Womyn is a terf thing, full stop.
Please please please share this I am so fucking tired of this

Women help, what do i do to not let this ruin my day?
I fucking hate public transportation in the rush hour because the infrastructure here is shit and that means having to be in a cramped space with so many creeps SO MANY.
I live two cities away from my uni and i have to wait for the bus at 5:30 to get here on time for my 8:00 am class. There is no getting around it.
And today in that lapse of time, those three hours i have had THREE CREEPS do something to make me uncomfortable TWO of them fucking touched me in some way. Im angry so very angry but i can't anymore, it drains me i just want to be left in peace. IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK
Why do some women prefer to say "womyn"? Or gyns? Just genuinely curious to see what the reasons behind it are. Is it a disagreement of having the word "man" being the center point or being kinda the base word with "wo" just being added on? Like is there a deeper meaning or reason Im not aware of...?
