And that’s where the conversation stalls, as the crux of the issue for groups like New Wave Feminists is they don’t see abortion as women’s rights.

I could call someone who personally opposed abortion but doesn’t try to stop others from getting them a feminist, depending on what other causes they do. I would never call someone like Yoest (who wants to legally restrict women’s reproductive rights) a feminist, no more than I would call someone “pro-labor” if they…

If you’re anti-abortion but respect that it’s your personal decision and are cool with letting others do whatever they want because they ALSO get to make that personal decision, by all means join us.

If you don’t believe in bodily autonomy, you’re not a feminist.

I think you can be a feminist and anti-abortion, but you can’t be a feminist and be anti-choice. Feminism isn’t about the right to “live out our womenhood.” It’s about working to liberate women from the oppression of the kyriarchy. Feminists don’t have to see abortion as an option for themselves, but attempting to…

Nope, sorry. If you have so little respect for woman you think they shouldn’t be able to make decisions about their own bodies, you aren’t a feminist.

Feminism is about equality through legal rights and changing outdated cultural attitudes. When you try to take away other women’s rights, you aren’t a feminist.

Let’s be real. My preferred fancy font in high school was Papyrus. You know you loved it too.

Yup on all accounts. Plus, I’d argue, rounding up Jews and killing them in fields wasn’t anything new in Eastern Europe. (I mean, pogroms are what brought a lot of Jews to the US.) Not that those things never happened in Western Europe, but it had been a while since one saw them on a large scale. So I’d imagine a lot…

JFC I had zero idea the number of camps was so high. Sickening

Jesus Christ. I had never heard of this.

Could you describe the idea you were going for by posting that video? There is no fucking WAY my finger’s anywhere near that play button.

At this point, archaeology is our best bet to tell these people’s stories.

Holy Moly.

I only found out recently about Babi Yar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babi_Yar) - one weekend’s work for the Nazis. It shocked me that I had never heard of this.

Netflix has a documentary on the Einsatzgruppen. I’ve watched pieces of it (it’s shatteringly difficult to watch). A mix of survivors, witnesses and at least one hidden camera interview of a man bragging about being one of the killers.

One thing I would add that you may not be aware of is that a lot of these mass graves were destroyed later by the Nazis in sonderaktion 1005. This had Nazi units exhume mass graves and cremate all the remains to hide their actions.
