This is what feminists mean when they say that feminism is about gender equality. It’s not really about equality, it’s about paying men back for all the supposed grievances women have suffered at the hands of the “patriarchy”.

You… do realize it’s trying to point out the wage gap between men and women, right? Women make 75 cents to the dollar that men make. And that’s just WHITE women. POC women make even less. So, yes, it is for equality. So that when men see that price difference, they go “Hey, that’s not equal, that sucks” and women can say “YES, LET ME TELL YOU A THING” -discussion begins-

My plan to end street harassment forever
I have a plan that will stop street harassment for all time. It goes like this:
- All women are now allowed to carry swords.
- All women get 20 free hours of sword training.
- All women are allowed to cut a fool without suffering legal consequences once per calendar month.
Fine points and clarifications:
- For the purposes of this scheme, any bladed weapon 20" or longer that comes with a sheath is a sword; anything shorter or without a scabbard is out of bounds.
- Legal “cut a fool” passes do not stack; if you cut no fools in January, you don’t get to cut two fools in February. Conversely, you are not required to cut a fool at all – just know you can if you want.
- Legal “cut a fool” passes are good for any sword wound up to and including fatalities.
And but so:
- I realize the first couple of years after this plan is implemented will be a bloodbath, but think of the society we’ll be building and remember the greater good!
- I picked swords because it’s really hard to take one away from someone if you don’t have one yourself.
- Do you think a small industry might pop up around sword fashion? Stylish sword belts and scabbards? Hello Kitty and Lisa Frank sword gear? Am I alone in wanting to see what that would be like?
Look, I’d be happy if we lived in a world where we didn’t have to hand swords out to women in order to scare dumbass men into keeping their fool mouths shut, but this clearly isn’t that world. I’m ready to see this happen.

My feminism will ALWAYS include trans women, sex workers, women of color, disabled women, fat women, intersex women, poor women, neuroatypical women, and all the other women who are often neglected

this never gets old
I met the creator of this a month ago and he said he got a lot of hate mail from dudebros who thought that he was a woman complaining about these problems.

imagine you and your mother/wife/girlfriend go to a foreign country. Upon entry, they demand that all of the women remove their shirts and bras so that they can be photographed, for identification purposes. You would think this was disgusting and misogynist, that they secretly just want to see some bare boobs, that they are a weird and backward culture.
And yet, when Muslim women raise this exact objection when they’re required to remove their head coverings for ID photos, we say their culture is the primitive, misogynist one. See, because your arbitrary rules about how much of a woman’s body should be covered in public is just logical, common sense; theirs is the result of crazy superstition. In reality, both of you are just reacting to your Default Moral Setting, as if it was an absolute truth handed down at the creation of the universe.

Exactly what I was trying to say earlier! #sexworkisrealwork
I said this exact thing to someone tonight. They seemed surprised I don’t get it. Minimum wage is a joke.

The sex industry isn’t even that bad like what the fuck you can make $500 in an hour vs making $15 an hour in retail work.. Ah omg so hard to decide what is better. Besides you don’t have to deal with arseholes every single day, maybe once or twice but come on. Stop giving sex workers shit, they’re probably earning a fuck load more than you are.

truuuuf
also being able to say you enjoy what you do for a living is awesome.
Camming has been so much more conducive to my mental health (and bank account) than working retail ever was. If a client is being disrespectful then they’re gone. Poof. End of story. Retail? You’ve got to deal with the same “customer is always right” mentality not only from the clientele but all too often even from the people above you.
I felt more used and taken advantage of working retail than I do getting naked for strangers.
