Uh-oh! They said the quiet part out loud!

Apparently, Thinx’s (a company that makes reusable, washable period panties, an alternative to pads and tampons) ads are waaaaaaay to risque and sexual for the New York Subways. Since Thinx’s ads show skin, say the word ‘period,’ and include…fruit..? the MTA is denying Thinx the ad space. So with ads like these:

.

So with all this skin and breasts, the Thinx ad has got to be super sexy, right!? More offensive than the anti-Islam ads that ran on the sides of buses not too long ago, right? Totally! Here are the super risque ads Thinx proposed:

Yeah, an egg, a grapefruit and three ladies in tanks, a sweater and undies and some really decent gender-neutral language. Soooo risque. Oh, and the reason the MTA doesn’t want the word ‘period’ on the ad? For the children of course! They don’t want the kids to ask their parents what a ‘period’ is, because, god fucking forbid! we teach our children about normal bodily functions!

This is the most blatant form of sexism I’ve seen. Can we cut off women’s heads just to show off their tits as products? Sure! Can we use their sexed up bodies to sell diet pills? Of course! Can we talk about them as humans with natural bodily functions? Nope!

Like, Jesus people, this is some bullshit.

I know there’s a lot of dudes that hate their arrogance. You know what? SUCK IT. As a woman, it is so, SO GOOD to see this.

Never apologize for this!!

Also they’re right? Captain Marvel is insanely powerful, and Valkyrie is literally a god???

This isn’t even arrogance, this is them refusing to make themselves small in order to make other people better.

ur in her dms im tied to her ritualistic altar we are not the same

very happy with how my first finished linocut print turned out!! :’)

Some of us have no money to furnish our homes with bougie shit Dennis

A great and truthful slogan. 

“We went to Kineshma, that’s in Ivanovo region, to visit his parents. I went as a heroine and I never expected someone to welcome me, a front-line girl, like that. We’ve gone through so much, we’ve saved lives, lifes of mothers, wives. And then… I heard accusations, I was bad-mouthed. Before that I’ve only ever been “dear sister”… We had tea and my husband’s mother took him aside and started crying: “Who did you marry? A front-line girl… You have two younger sisters. Who’s going to marry them now?” When I think back to that moment I feel tears welling up. Imagine: I had a record, I loved it a lot. There was a song, it said: you have the right to wear the best shoes. That was about a front-line girl. I had it playing, and [his?] elder sister came up and broke it apart, saying: you have no rights. They destroyed all my photos from the war… We, front-line girls, went through so much during the war… and then we had another war. Another terrible war. The men left us, they didn’t cover our backs. Not like at the front.” from С.Алексеевич “У войны не женское лицо”

In the Soviet Union, women participating in WWII were erased from history, remaining as the occasional anecdote of a female sniper or simply as medical staff or, at best, radio specialists. The word “front-line girl” (frontovichka) became a terrible insult, synonimous to “whore”. Hundreds of thousands of girls who went to war to protect their homeland with their very lives, who came back injured or disabled, with medals for valor, had to hide it to protect themselves from public scorn. 

This has always happened in history: Women do something important. Then they get shamed for it (so nobody will talk about it) and it gets erased from history.

And then certain men will say: “Women suck, they’ve never done anything important.”

Look into history and learn that women have played a far greater role then douches (present and past) wanted you to know.

Hey Will (and Jack) I got you something.

So this is important. Let me tell you a story.

All the time I spend debating about women in combat, I’ve picked up on a trend that disturbs me. Supporting or attacking, people are quick to draw on biology, psychology, law, but very rarely - almost never - do I hear about the history of women in combat, and the evidence their service lends to this debate.

Hundreds of thousands of women faced combat in WW2, and on both sides, and on all fronts, and it is a history that has been almost completely erased from contemporary awareness. I have been given arguments about how women can not psychologically handle combat. And about how women in mixed-gender combat units will automatically disrupt group cohesion - the brotherhood, if you will. Both of these assertions are erasure.

Women have not lived in a protective bubble untouched by combat for all of history. Women have been killed, wounded, and captured in combat, and tortured after. We are not living a world where these are hypothetical situations women have yet to prove they can handle. Unfortunately, they have, they can, in the future, they probably will, again and again. Soviet women served as partisans, snipers, tank drivers, fighter pilots, bombers. And more.

Both British and American women served in mixed-gender AA units. I could drag you through several examples of British women performing exemplarilyy despite being wounded, or seeing their comrades die. The Luftwaffe did not discriminate. Between the British and the Americans, it was determined that mixed gender units actually performed much better than all male units, because of teamwork. Because women are better and certain tasks, men are better at certain tasks, and at other tasks they are comparably efficient, and in a team, hopefully, in combat, you let the best do what they are best at. For the most part, they were proud to serve together. 

German propaganda never commented on the British AA units, but they thoroughly smeared the Soviet fighting woman - flitenweiber. People often argue with me that women are a threat to group cohesion because men naturally give women preferential treatment. Which certainly explains why men are more likely to survive shipwrecks. And history shows us that Germans soldiers had no chivalrous compunction when it came to shooting captured Soviet women who were armed.

We’re fed a history of war that almost exclusively features white male figures, most of whom fit into this destructive constructed myth of the soldier that is somehow both chivalrous and charmingly womanizing and who’s sense of brotherhood is unshakably dependent on the band being all man. There is no history of woman at war, none. I hear a lot about how women have no upper body strength, I hear nothing about the Front-Line Female Comrade.

THE WORD FRONTOVICHKA BECAME A TERRIBLE INSULT - are you fucking kidding me? Fuck, that made me cry. At first when I started reading I thought I was reading alernate history fiction. I’m ashamed to be ignorant about this, and full of rage and much worse bitter shame that this history is constantly repressed, suppressed, hidden. WHAT THE FUCK. D: D: D:

This is why I love the Internet. Pass this knowledge on.

If I have to see one more butch lesbian go on testosterone and remove her breasts I’m gonna scream. Why is this not something feminists talk about other than to praise? Why are we so okay with women cutting off pieces of their body just to feel okay in their own skin?

I saw a video a lesbian posted today, just after top surgery, removing her shirt in public as people cheered around her. The caption said something about how much she hated being forced to keep her shirt on all her life, how she wanted to join the boys and feel free. And we applaud that? We think the best solution is not to stop sexualising women and little girls but to bind and remove their breasts?

It’s so fucking regressive and it’s just happening more and more. It’s seen as completely fine that a woman would inject cross sex hormones into her body just to exist comfortably in the world as a gender non-conforming lesbian.

Change society not women’s bodies!!!! Lesbians need acceptance not surgery!!

Hm it’s not really your decision

Good job on your critical thinking abilities and reading comprehension!

and?? so what if a woman wants to go on t and got her breasts removed? it’s true and an undeniable fact that society bash women and their bodies but we are talking about a person being uncomfortable under their skin. it ain’t “love uwsewf!! uwu”. it ain’t “change the society’s perspective!!”. it’s like why people have long or short hair. it’s like why some people shave and others not. why does it matter to you anyway?? why does a woman making her body an appropriate place for herself feel like a stick up in the ass for you?

And therein lies the issue with the current state of things. Having surgery and taking cross sex hormones to permanently change your body, both of which carry many risks including death, is not the same as cutting your hair. It’s not healthy or normal that there is a massive increase in young women turning to medical procedures to change their bodies to appear male and it’s not a coincidence that most of them are lesbians. I feel the same about all plastic surgery and beauty rituals. Undertaking drastic, painful and dangerous procedures because you have learned to hate your body should not be the norm. Creating a society where women can comfortably exist as they are should be.

*male voice* i just dont understand why so many women relate to/idolize/live vicariously through female villains/antiheroes who have been controlled their whole lives and finally get to experience freedom and subvert what’s expected of women. what’s up with that 

#MEN BE LIKE: WHY DO YOU LIKE THIS FEMALE VILLAIN WHO GETS HER OWN AUTONOMY AND NEARLY KILLS THE MAN SHE HATES. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT

OP is a TERF, SWERF, and all around radfem. “Male” and “men” here mean DMAB people. Please remember to check the source when you see things that use male/female as chief gender descriptors, especially if the post relates to feminist topics at all.

Hey can you shut the fuck up? I mean seriously. All y’all need to shut the fuck up. Why does it matter??? If y’all agree with this, then reblog it and move on. Shut. The. Fuck. Up. We’re tired of seeing this shit.

Sorry pal born without that function. Permanent condition.

I don’t give a shit if you’re tired lmao. If the post was written with the viewpoint that a group of women are part of the perpetrators of men’s violence against women, I’m going to say something, because that changes the meaning and makes it nasty and it’s insidious to let it slip through to people that don’t know that.

So hey, why don’t you shut up? Scroll past it and move on if you don’t like it? Because sucks for you, but I’m not tired and my mouth is permanently open to calling this bullshit out.

males arent women <3

Transwomen are male, my guy. Therefore they are socialized male, and are in the male class. So yeah, that therefore makes them “part of the perpetrators”. Doesn’t matter what they look like. Doesn’t matter what words come out of their mouths. They’re male.

Also, this is literally a post about women relating to fictional characters? And you’re here whining about a totally off topic thing? Telling them to shut up while you spew your fantasies on their posts???? How sad can you get?

TERF alert

and when im in that thing i’ll make that body sing i make it say 🚨🚨 wee woo wee woo wee woo 🚨🚨

wtf is dmab

Stands for DuMAss Bitch

Black women really are on another level 👑

👏👏👏👏👏👏

There is not one thing magical about this. She shouldn’t have to do this. Are y'all serious right now???? Like y'all should go read about how the father basically just shows up to sleep with her and she ends up pregnant again because she has a condition that makes her ovulate more than necessary and in turn her body rejects birth control and almost kills her. 😒 Quit calling black women that have to go through shit like this magical. Yes, she loves all her children, but the whole situation is stressful. Imagine the toll this takes on her body, and most of her kids hella young and can barely do for themselves. Stop calling these situations magical because she’s black and has no choice but to survive how she can with her kids, while the father does nothing.

I need a trustworthy gofundme for this woman. I’m going to look into this.

I need a way to support her MONETARILY, because using hand clap emojis to somehow applaud her for being hyper fertile and a man using her and leaving her isn’t cutting it. No.

Her GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/care-for-mariam-her-38-children

She is only asking for 10k and so far she is at $1,000. I am definitely donating some money.

There are some heartless comments in the notes calling her irresponsible and careless. Those people have obviously not taken the few minutes to watch this heart wrenching video.

She [Mariam Nabatanzi] was married off at 12 years of age after surviving death; allegedly at her stepmother’s hands who apparently pounded glass and mixed it in the food she gave Nabatanzi and her four siblings. Her husband is an absentee father & husband so she supports her children by doing odd jobs. At 39, Nabatanzi has 38 children whom she has delivered from home except the last born who is four months old. She was delivered by caesarean section. Among her children are six sets of twins, four sets of triplets, three sets of quadruples and single births. Ten of these are girls and the rest are boys. The oldest is 23 years old while the youngest four months. 20841954_1496518771.2705_funddescription Married off Nabatanzi breaks down when she recalls what she went through upon getting married. In 1993, she was married off to a 40-year-old man. “I did not know I was being married off. People came home and brought things for my father. When time came for them to leave, I thought I was escorting my aunt but when I got there, she gave me away to the man.” Starting a family Her father-in-law gave them a piece of land to start their family, a family for which she planned to have six children. In 1994, when she was 13, Nabatanzi gave birth to twins. Two years later, she gave birth to triplets and a year and seven months after that added a set of quadruplets. This, she says was nothing strange to her because she had seen it before in her lineage. “My father gave birth to 45 children with different women and these all came in quintuplets, quadruples, twins and triplets,” she says. Indeed, Dr Charles Kiggundu, a gynecologist at Mulago Hospital and President of gynaecologists and obstetricians, says it is very possible for Nabatanzi to have taken after her father. “Her case is genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate (releasing multiple eggs in one cycle), which significantly increases the chance of having multiples; it is always genetic,” he explains. By her sixth delivery, Nabatanzi had had 18 children and wanted to stop, so, she went to see a doctor at Namaliili Hospital. The problem The doctor told Nabatanzi that she could not be stopped then because she had a high ovary count which would eventually kill her if she stopped. “Having these unfertilised eggs accumulate poses not only a threat to destroy the reproductive system but can also make the woman lose their lives,” Dr Ahmed Kikomeko from Kawempe General Hospital explains. “I was advised to keep producing since putting this on hold would mean death. I tried using the Inter Uterine Device (IUD) but I got sick and vomited a lot, to the point of near death. I went into a coma for a month,” she explains. At the age of 23 with now 25 children, she went back to hospital to try and stop. “I was checked in at Mulago Hospital and advised to continue producing since the ovary count was still high.” No way to stop? Kiggundu explains that women’s ovaries are at times suppressed and stopped from ovulating. “The suppressed eggs later pile up and are released at once and here, the higher the chances of fertilizing many eggs, the higher the chances of all of them dying, Nabatanzi was lucky,” he says. “She must have been super ovulating, releasing many eggs in a cycle.” He adds that Nabatanzi could have been helped if she had really wanted to stop producing, but some people are not well informed. At the birth of her four-month-old child who was delivered by C-section in December last year, she says; “I asked the doctor to stop me from more births and he said he had ‘cut my uterus from inside’. This was my only Cesarean delivery because I was still weak from the sickness I suffered when I tried to use an IUD.” Nabatanzi’s 25 years in marriage has been characterised by humiliation and torture. “I have been tortured countless times by my husband; he beats to the pulp when I try to reason with him over any issue, especially when he gets home drank. He does not provide for basic needs and welfare of the family; the children hardly know who he is since he is an absent father who gives his children names over the phone and not physically,” she says. Charles Musisi, 23, her eldest son says their father disappeared and they have grown up only with their mother’s love. “I can comfortably tell you that our siblings do not know what father looks like. I last saw him when I was 13 years old and only briefly in the night because he rushed off again,” he says, adding that they do not know the happiness of living with a father and they only rely on their mother as their both mother and father. Nabatanzi says her husband spends close to a year without coming home and when he does, he just sneaks into the house late in the night and leaves very early in the morning. “I carry these humiliations because my aunt advised me to always endure in marriage and have my children as the center of focus. She advised me not to produce children from different men.” The education challenge Nabatanzi is optimistic about seeing her children through school, something her father could not do for her. Despite being a Primary Two dropout, she has managed to educate her children. One of her first born twins has a certificate in nursing and the other in building although they have not found jobs yet. Nabatanzi’s five-year-old son who was diagnosed with a heart problem early this year worries her as she has to spend Shs120, 000 a week to buy him medicine. “In January, the doctors at Mulago Hospital advised me to raise Shs35m in nine months to have him taken to India for an operation. Since I do not have this money yet, I buy him medicine to help him cope in the meantime,” she says. Nabatanzi finds solace in her children as the family she never had while growing up. “I wish I could get a helping hand to help me with my children’s schooling, which is my major concern. I stopped looking to my husband for anything. I’m only focusing on raising my children and I am determined to do,” she explains. Home care The older children help with their siblings and the general home administration. “I enjoy taking care of my children myself though. My children are my joy and I pride caring for them. I cook, wash and bathe them with ease. Children grow better under a mother’s love and care,” she says. Health Nabatanzi says she delivers her children naturally and she has always felt fine after each delivery until her recent C-section birth after which she started to develop backache after doing some home chores. “My daughter who studied nursing used to take care of me during pregnancy. Eventually, I learnt how to do this, so I have not had any difficulties or complications with my pregnancies,” she explains.

wow

This poor woman, please don’t romanticize her situation

if you need it again it’s https://www.gofundme.com/care-for-mariam-her-38-children

She's powerful, but she shouldn't have to forced to do this

Was just telling my mum about the study published in the Lancet saying the male to female ratio of coronavirus death in Italy was 80% men 20% women, and she said wryly “Well that’s lucky; if the death ratio was 80% women we would wait years to get any funding for vaccine research.”

COVID is a terf 😔 block and stay safe

COVID19 knows what she’s doing and she’s doing it well.
