activism
Feminist activists are not deterred by the daunting statistics so much as they're fueled by them.
24 hours with shit nails and the oppression of women
Seriously why do women do this to themselves. I recently did my nails. They are the stick on kind that will last for a couple of weeks. They're pretty long - longer am I expected them to be when I ordered them - but not ridiculously so.

Reasons Modern Feminism Is Failing Real Women
Is Modern Feminism Actually Helping Women—Or Leaving Them Behind? If you've ever felt like the feminist movement doesn't quite speak to your life, you're not alone. Millions of women across the country are quietly asking the same question: why does a movement built for women feel so disconnected from what real women actually deal with every day?

Dear Women: Stop Feeding the Machine
The entire world has been shaped by a bro-code patriarchy. Look at history: centuries of unhinged, psychotic greed, domination, rape, robbery and killing carried out overwhelmingly by men—and systems built by men to protect male power.

Burn the Witch
There is a trend circulating on TikTok in which a crowd chants, “Burn the witch! Burn the witch!” A person then announces that they know a “spell” to achieve something desirable—getting rid of homework, summoning a particular kind of person or solving some everyday inconvenience—and the crowd changes its verdict: “Release the witch!”

The Day the Router Died
The glowing blue light of the living room router did not just blink out; it felt as though it took the literal oxygen from the room with it. For Marcus, the silence that followed was immediate and deafening. His thumb instinctively scrolled against a completely dark smartphone screen, frozen mid-swipe on a social media feed that would no longer refresh. Across the room, his teenage daughter, Maya, stared blankly at her tablet as her high-definition video feed froze into an ugly, pixelated mosaic of unmoving colors. In the kitchen, his wife, Sarah, paused mid-recipe, her smart-screen refrigerator suddenly refusing to display the next culinary step. The smart home had gone completely dumb in a matter of seconds, and the family was left stranded in the quiet aftermath.

Robin's Art
Introduction I am not sure how I first became Facebook friends with Robin Grotjan, maybe it was through Mafia Wars, an addictive Facebook game that I managed to forget about.

A Hopeless Romantic's Guide to Decentering Men. ✨
De-centering men was my greatest act of self love. ~ unknown author. Women are taught, either inherently or intentionally, to center men from the day we are born. Even the birthing process itself can be considered male-centric, if you get the wrong doctor or practice. My mother tells the story of a traumatic birth when she had me: of a brusk, impatient male doctor, of requests falling on deaf ears, of an emotionally absent male partner.

She Who is Relaxed, is Free.
“Growing up, I never knew a relaxed woman. Successful women? Yes. Productive women? Plenty. Anxious and afraid and apologetic women? Heaps of them. But relaxed women? At-ease women? Women who don't dissect their days into half hour slots of productivity? Women who prioritize rest, pleasure, and play? Women who aren't afraid to take up space in the world? Women who give themselves unconditional permission to relax? Without guilt? Without apology? Without feeling like they need to earn it? I'm not sure I've ever met a woman like that. But I would like to become one.”
