Has anyone ever taken a pad or tampon out into the light of day only to have boys and grown men back five feet away? This shit is tip of the stigma iceberg that women experience for simply menstruating. How many of those products in the image can cause toxic shock or infections? How expensive are those products? How often do they need to be bought/replaced? These are real issues that affect our health, finances, and social/internalized perceptions of ourselves. Men absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge us for our biology when it’s not sexually appealing to them. They refuse to consider our mental and physiological health, and mock and silence us when we try to talk about it.

we should make armor out of menstrual products so men stay away

And you don’t just pop a pill every time you want to have the sex. It’s a daily pill you have to take consistently for it to work, regardless of whether you’re having sex three times a day, three times a month, or never and just have debilitating cramps. the “You’re a party favor” comment is really, really insulting, uneducated, ignorant, and rude.
Because the first time I got raped, my boyfriend broke up with me because I had “cheated” on him.
Because the word “rape” is considered a joke.
Because over 70% of women let their partners fuck them when they don’t want it.
Because 17% of American women have been the victim of sexual assault at some point in their lives.
Because only 39% of rapists get reported to the police, and only 3% of them go to jail.
Because about 13% of the rape victims commit suicide.
Because the first time I got raped, he put a knife to my throat and told me he would kill me if I said I didn’t want it.
Because when I wanted to report him, people told me I couldn’t because I hadn’t said “no” to him.
Because at least half of all babies born to minor women are fathered by adult men. (10+ years age difference)
Because I can’t wear a skirt without being told “I’m asking for it.”
Because when I went to a party when I was 14 and I wore a skirt and a guy kept touching my ass all night, my mother told me it shouldn’t have happened if I wore sweatpants.
Because a 16 year old girl who had her first orgasm while getting raped, had to watch her 34 (!) year old rapist go free because she had had an orgasm.
Because when my guy friend told me and some friends he got raped by a women when he was 12, a “friend” laughed at him and said he should be happy he got laid that young.
Because my 17 year old best friend’s parents let her 14 year old brother walk outside until 12pm, but she has to be home at 10.
Because a guy from my old school got raped by another guy, but because he is gay, they said it wasn’t considered rape.
Because a 19 year old lesbian got raped by a guy, and he didn’t go to prison because he said “he only tried to turn her straight so she would get accepted by her parents”
Because in some cultures, girls (and boys) still get thrown out of the family because some guy/girl sexually assaulted them.
Because they’re still teaching girls to walk faster at night instead of teaching guys they shouldn’t rape.
Because I have to explain why rape makes me angry.

I tried to make this poster more inclusive, so it didn’t erase anyone that utilizes Planned Parenthood.
It’s not my best work, but it’s a start.

They made birth control for men. However it never got past the clinical testing stage because its side effects were things like “moodiness, extreme cramping, hunger, increased sexual drive” and were considered INHUMANE.

Men are not pussies because they can’t handle having one
men are penises

the post was amazing and the comments made it better.
Oh, it’s even worse than that.
Hormonal birth control for men has been a solved problem since the 1970s, and the current iterations of the technology are actually substantially superior to equivalent treatments for women, demonstrating higher effectiveness, less dangerous side effects, and lower prevalence of side effects in virtually all modern trials. At this point, some forty years on, such treatments continue to be refused certification on the ostensible basis of concerns over the purely hypothetical effects of long-term use.
Meanwhile, a hormonal birth control treatment for women whose known and documented side effects include “sudden death” can go from the laboratory to the pharmacy shelf in under five years.
Really shows you where our priorities lie, doesn’t it?

Menstruation is a natural part of life, but it has long been and continues to be stigmatized. Three women have come up with a way to change all that. Twin sisters Radha and Miki Agrawal and friend Antonia Dunbar innovated THINX underwear, which completely eliminates the need for tampons or pads and could also help in need in the developing world.

No more pads???

Being a girl in this world is honestly so strange like do u know how much we miss out on because we are scared? How much of the night We don’t get to see because walking around alone is too dangerous? Do u notice the way girls walk at night, and does your heart hurt when U see them quicken their pace and lower their gaze when men walk past? Mine does

I remember when I was doing Rent and I was too thin, and I was doing that on purpose because I’m dying, I’m a HIV+ drug addict. I remember having to eat raw food and doing all this work to make sure I could stay thin…And I remember everyone asking when I was doing press for the movie, ‘What did you do to get so thin? You looked great’ and I’m like, ‘I look emaciated’…It’s a form of violence, in the way that we look at women and how we expect them to look and be– for what sake? Not health, not survival, not enjoyment of life, but just so you can look pretty. I’m constantly telling girls all the time everything is airbrushed, everything is retouched to the point it’s never even asked. None of us look like that. - Rosario Dawson

Anonymous asked:
Are Jewish woman who are Zionists supported in this environment?
Absolutely NOT. We do not accept or support Zionism and Zionists.
“A safe and supportive space for ALL people who identify as women of color and non-binary people of color to share and celebrate their art unless you believe in a homeland for the oppressed Jewish people then you’re disgusting and we want nothing to do with you”
wearewomencollective
We Are Women is a SAFE, INCLUSIVE and SUPPORTIVE space for POC. Zionism is a white-supremacist ideology that does not represent or stand for ALL POC. We Are Women, along with many other POC, do not consider Zionism a safe and supportive ideology for POC, and therefore we will not accept or support it on We Are Women. We ask that you no longer reblog our posts or ask us any questions, and to leave We Are Women alone so that our members and followers can continue to share our artistic space peacefully and safely.
Nah fuck you, you don’t get to be rude to me and then ask for me to respect you.
It literally doesn’t make any fucking sense for zionism to be a ~white supremacist ideology~ considering how 1. White supremacy rejects Jews (it literally fucking killed my family) 2. Israel is PRIMARILY MADE UP OF NON-WHITE JEWISH PEOPLE and 3. The definition of zionism is the belief in a Jewish homeland
Obviously logic isn’t your strong point though so it’s okay :)

"Zionism is a white supremacist ideology"
HAHAHAHAAHHA
WESTERN LEFTISTS ARE ACTUALLY THIS IGNORANT
Zionism was created to escape living in a truly “white supremacist society”. Or, in the case of some Jews, to avoid living in a ARAB SUPREMACIST society, where (typically paler, Levantine) had acid thrown on them, faced violent pogroms, were randomly attacked, etc, by the native Arab populaces of their adopted countries.
But i’m sure that they had pale-skinned privilege compared to those brown PoC Arab natives, so it doesn’t really matter
It is infuriating how westerners can literally not even comprehend the idea that the ME/NA region is not identical to America
yeah, wearewomencollective you have literally no idea what Zionism actually is.

If women are superior how come 99% of men would whoop 99% of women's asses in a fight
How come 99% of men think that ‘superior’ means ‘I could kill you’ and not ‘I could improve your life’ or ‘I could promote peace’? How come men are so violent? How come you perceive superiority to mean being the only one left alive?
Wanting to beat women actually makes you inferior. When we talk about humanity, men lack it. Therefore women are true humans, and men are deviations.

Studies show that women apologize more than men, often for perfectly reasonable acts like, you know, taking up space.
Saying “sorry” when the person doesn’t mean it or doesn’t need to say it makes me daffy. There are plenty of occasions in life when we’ll have to say we’re sorry and hate like shit that we’ll have to. We don’t need to say it unnecessarily—it makes us sound like mice.
No more squeakage!

It takes years as a woman to unlearn what you have been taught to be sorry for.
