transwomen saying they didn’t have any kind of male privilege prior to transition because they were bullied for being feminine or whatever really reminds me of when white people say they don’t have white privilege because they grew up really poor and had to work so hard for what they have and they had a single mother or something like that’s not how privilege and socialization works smh

She Tattooed Half Her Face And You’d Never Know It. Her Skills Are Just That Good.

Meet Samira Omar.

The 17-year-old was the victim of a horrific bullying incident. A group of girls threw boiling water on her, leaving her badly burned and covered in scars and discoloration.

She thought the physical scars would be with her forever — until she met Basma Hameed.

Basma Hameed runs a tattoo shop, of sorts — but her tattoo artistry doesn’t look like this:

it looks like this:

Basma is a paramedical tattoo specialist. Instead of tattooing vibrant, colorful designs, she uses special pigments that match the skin in order to conceal scars.

image

With Basma’s help, patients like Samira can see a dramatic decrease in their scar visibility and discoloration after a few treatments. She even offers free procedures for patients who are unable to afford treatment. That’s because Basma knows firsthand just how life-changing her work can be for those coping with painful scars left behind.

I love this woman.

TIL that prostitution was widely legal in the United States up until the early 1900’s, when the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union lobbied against it. This was the same union that was a driving force behind Prohibition in the 1920’s.

Those chicks hated working women and good times

They hated their husbands bashing them and their children after drinking moonshine, cheating on them with prostitutes then infecting them with the STDs they got while wasting their wages all while not having basic rights afforded to their husbands

Those women often were working women, ya dickhead

Feminism has its roots in the Labour movement

You don’t know shit about what those women went through or why they opposed alcohol or prostitution

Husbands owned their wives wages in those days so yeah she didn’t want him spending all her hard earned cash on a drug that made him more violent and terrible than usual

So many people have a warped view of the temperance movement & the actual motives behind it. They didn’t hate parties and fun. They hated male violence and being owned by drunken assholes.

People know so little about women’s history. Women’s history is very interesting. Everyone should know more about the First and Second Waves of Feminism

There are actually women’s groups today that have successfully lobbied to have alcohol banned in a few provinces in India for the reasons stated above. So yeah, this is still a thing woman are fighting for today in many third world countries. These ARE working women.

Can we have more information about this?
