“Being a feminist doesn’t mean suddenly no longer liking problematic things. If...”
– (via idontlikemyselfsogoaway) I was literally just thinking this, I mean it’s just being a socially aware person in general. There are problems in so many things and it’s hard to un-see or not be critical of it once you become aware.  (via crystalsavestheday)

Emphasis on those that aren’t only white- and cis-centric :) They don’t have to be purely about body politics, either, but a good portion of their posts should be. Let me know here or respond to...

cake-light: I don’t understand the desire to saddle every female character with children regardless of whether they want them as some lazy stand-in for a happy ending, particularly in sci-fi and fantasies. If you’ve earned that with sufficient backstory and evidence, like, FINE. Olivia Dunham and Donna Noble and Scully and Ripley canonically want to have children. Amy Pond, Hermione Granger,...

lord-kitschener: mr-owls: Radfems aren’t fighting patriarchy. They are so infected by it they can’t even see how they perpetuate it. “Radical feminism” is the best tool patriarchy has; it makes feminism look distasteful and extremist to people who don’t know what real feminism is, while violently enforcing the gender binary and trashing women for their choices.
