Hey ladies, we need to do something real and something drastic. It has been shown time and again that women striking brings results. In Iceland, Poland, and Kenya women have all proven that if we stop participating in the system, even for a day, the patriarchy is suddenly much more willing to acquiesce to our demands.

Just. Don’t. Touch. People. Why is this so hard?

I really hope they do and yeah it doesn’t sound isolated at all. Every time I hear about a situation like this, I’m always shocked that it can be so pervasive, surely people must know, but no one intervenes. I don’t mean the other women, I mean bystanders, his elected peers who had to know this guy was harassing women…

I volunteer to give him a playful pinch in his nether regions. I’m sure he’ll find it hilarious.

First man that grabs my pussy will hAve to seek medical attention in order to retrieve his balls from his throat, which is where their final resting place will be from me kicking them so hard.

This is like trying to choose which leg you’d rather be shot in. In the end, you’re still getting shot and you’re still going to walk with a limp.

Yeah, I don’t know if that puts him in Putin’s pocket, or if he is just playing along with Trump until he has the means to ouster him.

What is truly horrifying to me is that I now find Mike Pence a much less horrifying option. And I say this a someone whose bodily autonomy is directly personally threatened by Pence’s so-called ideals. At least he has some government experience and a brain that is not in the process of elaborate organic decay (or…

Pence’s agenda will move forward no matter which role he plays. At least Pence does not appear to be in Putin’s pocket.

No, no, no.

If distance and money are your limitation, you can likely find a local “sister march” happening on the same day with the same solidarity at the link. It’s global!

I think you should carefully examine the respectability politics you’re pushing here.

And they’re pink because they’re Planned Parenthood pink not because pink=girl.

You nailed it. Not to mention knitting is a valuable skill practiced for centuries and represents self-reliance in an overly capitalist society- but because its primarily done by women, that automatically makes it “frivolous”.

It seems to me that the notion that female-coded things are infantilizing and not to be taken seriously is itself steeped in patriarchal ideals.

Aaaaand that’s the problem Kara

Actually, the impression I’ve gotten reading about him is that it’s all just a popularity contest to him, and he doesn’t actually believe any of what he says.

yeah, it’s true.

Oh yeah I agree with that too. I believe his hatred/misogyny/homophobia/transphobia/racism are all real, I just think he thrives more off of the general chaos he instigates and the attention it brings than advancing his bigoted agenda. But either way he’s scum. 🤷🏽‍♀️

It’s something that should be talked about WAY more
