Why aren’t more people freaking out about the new Venezuelan labor law?
You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

And then I learned about the history of Europe — that as Christianity moved north, midwives, nurses, and so-called “witches” were sought after in a campaign of genocide — about four million women were killed by European leaders. So the reason that European men could do this to our people is because they had already cut the umbilical cord to their homeland.
I began to see the reasons for the feminist movement as a healing for white women. As Indigenous people we never experienced our men doing to us what European men had done to European women. I have never identified myself as a feminist even though we are all strong for the rights of our people.
”Something to consider when people start saying that brutalization of women is mostly perpetrated by men of colour.

i'm not surprised there are people who wants him dead. resistance isn't supposed to be polite but you can't expect these white mofos to grasp this. the glorification of sweden will only benefit the svensson ego which will further dismiss our struggles. because you know, racism and the failure that is västerländsk feminism aren't exactly fika topics. hah.
“anti-“racism & white feminist third world solidarity don’t make for good fika fodder??? welp shiiiiit no wonder all white folks in my life have been relegated to mere acquaintances XD
xxxo luv your blogs! i’ll be sure to check in reg soon as i eviscerate aforementioned child-torture & ableism propagation to some satisfaction
p.s. to everyone else: fuckwadroy is talking about tobias hubinette, the adoptee activist, scholar, and bona fide nazi hunter literally arrested in sweden for the crime of “reverse racism.”

FEMINISM where if a girl seems stupid she’s probably stupid and you should probably treat her like the piece of trash she is. you’re like tina fey. you wear glasses and youre going to move to new york city and eat cheese. that’ll prove you’re a better human being than kim kardashian. you don’t wear makeup so you’re not fake like beyonce. youre real. like jennifer lawrence

Arundhati Roy (via jahanzebjz)
it’s not about liberating her, but about unclothing her. It becomes an act of humiliation and cultural imperialism.

so bitch is a word that white women can reclaim but not woc
because bitch is a word white women use to empower themselves and if we start doing the same, then they can’t use it against us anymore
at least thats how i see it /kanye shrug
and when tina fey and amy poehler said
”bitches get stuff done”
not a one of them bitches were like ”don’t say bitches… we are not bitches, its a bad word.”
BITCH MAGAZINE.
BITCH.
MAGAZINE
I MEAN COME ON.

Dale Spender, Man Made Language. (via dumbledoreisabamf)
the feminist movement has supported wars (afghanistan to liberate the poor brown women, anyone?) and the cruel medical use of the bodies of women of color (history of how the pill was developed, anyone?) and the murder of trans women (the transsexual empire, anyone?) among other… failings, shall we say, to put it lightly
feminism as an institution has colluded with white supremacy, with heterosexism and cissexism, with ableist power structures, with imperialism to bring “liberation” to white, western, christian, cishet, abled, thin women at the expense of women who can’t climb that ladder and cling to any part of that power structure as easily as they can
anyone who feels that feminist is a dirty word because ~ew won’t the women just shut up~ is a misogynist, plain and simple. but to pretend that there is no reason to eschew the label of feminist erases the violence done to many women in the name of feminism.
