My paternal grandmother lives in the mountains of Haiti. She refuses to leave her little plot of land and her animals. Till this day, I have yet to see my grandmother wear heels, lipstick or any sort of makeup. She was married young, she had 8 children which she raised while still working the farmlands. My grandmother doesn’t wear pink, My grandmother doesn’t pitch her voice purposely, my grandmother does flutter her eyelashes, she doesn’t wear glitter, the most she’ll ever do with her syrupy black hair is two Wendy style braids.
My grandmother never had to wake up and contemplate that she was a woman. Her mere existence is a staunch reminder of that. The toll of being woman is marked throughout her body. From raking framlands with a full belly, to feeling her sore old joints when she lays at night, a reminder of the burden of womanhood at old age. Her dark and aged fingers tells the story of the earth she worked and the children she cared for. I refuse to allow anyone overshadow her womanhood with high heels and gold dresses and a penis. Fuck that. You know nothing about being a woman.
Being a woman is pregnancy and farming. Ok.
It’s really interesting that’s all you got from this. For many women that’s the reality that they face everyday. For many women in third world countries it’s carrying children that they don’t necessarily want and having the responsibility to take care of them and entire fucking families
Being a women is being placed in positions that you didn’t necessarily ask for
Being a women mean shelling out kids because your husband and your country doesn’t believe in contraceptions
But since you want to reduce your activism to your 1st world bullshit. Like this is why white feminist can’t ever be trusted I swear to fucking God.
Being a woman has nothing to do femininity and everything to do with the responsibility enshrined because of the female body.
You should probably stop identifying as radical if you’re refusing to acknowledge the life of women in underdeveloped countries.
My grandmother wasn’t legally allowed to practice her religion until after all of her children were born. She married young, hand children young, and has told me, on otherwise quiet car rides that she carries resentment for men because of all the abuse she’s suffered at their hands. This happened in the USA.
@emrysbarock what the fuck do you even think feminism is about? You’re no radfem.

I’ll always put women first, and I’m not even sorry for that.
I think people seem to kinda forget that there is still no equality between women and men, but somehow we already moved to another subject.
Women are still getting harassed.
Women are still being taken and forced into sex trafficking.
Women are still being raped and murdered.
Women are still being abused (emotionally and physically).
Women are still making less money than men.
Girls are still expected to behave.
Girls are still less likely to be encouraged to do STEM- oriented studies.
Girls are still enduring Female Genital Mutilation.
Girls and women are still forced to spend their period in isolation.
Most Women still don’t have access to (affordable) birth control and abortion.
Pads, Tampons and other Female Hygiene products are still a problem for homeless women, women in prison, poor women, women in 3rd world countries…That isn’t even all of it.
So yes, I’ll continue to put women first until I can’t name a single thing anymore.
My priorities won’t change until then.

“In the United States, transwomen are actually the only legally recognized women with full constitutional rights. The 14th amendment specifically disenfranchised female sexed citizens and the ERA, which states that civil rights cannot be denied on the basis of sex, was never ratified. So women are not constitutionally legal persons. This results in a whole lot of sex-based oppression for female people, especially in states where fetuses have civil rights and the people in whom the fetuses are growing end up being jailed for suspicious miscarriages or cut open against their wills or forced to birth in hospitals because homebirth is criminalized. For a brief period of time (1964 to 2016) female people did have some sex-based protections under the Civil Rights Act, but we just lost all of those as the Obama administration declared this year that everywhere the Civil Rights Act says “sex” it actually means gender identity. So, it’s basically legal to fire someone for menstruating now, because that’s something people of all gender identities do so it’s not sex discrimination. Already, the Supreme Court has ruled that it is not sex discrimination to fire someone for breastfeeding because under the new definitions of male and female, males and females can both breastfeed. Please stop fooling yourself into thinking the trans political movement is not destroying hard won sex-based protections for women and girls when that is exactly what has already occurred.”
