Men have hindered the progress of humanity by suppressing geniuses from half the human population.
Women were prevented from making meaningful contributions to mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, engineering, geology, ecology, etc. etc. for thousands of years.
Think of all the genius women who were forced to become homemakers and housewives, overburdened with 10+ children until their bodies gave in to stress and perished- their intellect only utilised when a man would steal their ideas without credit.
Men talk about how they "contributed everything" to history and science. The question that should be asked is how much more advanced would humankind have been were it not for the barbarity of weak men? How much have men slowed human progression because the genius of women made them feel emasculated?

girls doing better than boys in school and the rise of anti-intellectualism is not a coincidence, I fear

Do you have the link to this article? Or does anyone have information about them? I want to know more!
i read this article about this really wholesome lesbian couple who basically moved in together into a cottage in England.
the couple were loved and accepted by everyone including the church in their town
when the two died, they were buried together at the church and their love lasted on even in the afterlife as ghosts! their cottage also became a museum and i think it’s still open today. plus the cottage is haunted by the friendly spirits of the couple.

What if RB had been my first girlfriend? She liked 1950s culture, classic films, Old Hollywood and the Twilight Zone ... What if we had held hands, kissed sweetly, then *kissed*, then "fumbled"? What if my family had liked her -- and her family had liked me? (They were rather cosmopolitan, and I could have learned a lot from them!) We could have watched old black and white sci-fi and horror films at my house, holding hands under a blanket, sneaking a kiss when we were alone in the room! 💗 We could have gone to school dances together.
In reality, I didn't go to dances because I didn't like boys, and I didn't want to admit that to myself. I didn't want to admit to myself that I liked girls. The avalanche of pain that would have come with that knowledge would have been too much at the time. It was a hostile environment. Religious oppression. I was already hiding my beliefs about religion.
We might have had a sad and painful breakup, but that's life. That's adolescence.
I feel like I missed out on adolescence. I don't want other people to have to waste theirs! I want to do something about it, to change something! After all, it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

female separatism isn’t about preference or “hating men.” i wish people would understand that separatism is vital to our health as women right now. one of the biggest things patriarchy has taken from us is MOBILITY and HEALTH. can you imagine a world where you wouldn’t be harassed for wanting to be tended to by only women? where female doctors and nurses that knew and prioritized female biology tended to you? streets where you could stroll and not feel a sliver of self-consciousness. where walking didn’t have to be a performance or a race from a man whistling at you?
i used to love going down to the river running at the bottom of the hill where my grandmother’s house sat. now I start to see more and more farm boys and farm men bathing in the spots I loved to rest in. I can’t be free even out there in the country. I have to be chaperoned. go in twos and threes. I can’t WANDER. i can’t run into the wild or bathe in the river. I can’t bask shirtless in the sun.
do women know how physically constrained we are? in corsets and brad and tight dresses because we must always prioritize aesthetics over happiness. we conflate approval and relief for joy. it drives me mad when I see the freedom men have. how wide their strides. how they can break out in a wrestle. how they aren’t taught to deform their bodies. how they are encouraged to nurture their physical power.
I wanted to go to the gymn by my neighbourhood, and my dad got annoyed with me. because it wasn’t safe. the only other segregated gymn in my whole city is miles away and unaffordable.
I taste separatism every time i sleepover at one of my sisters or we go on a retreat together. we can say anything. we relax. we bond and listen to each other. in all our different personalities.
but when there’s men in the conversation, everything becomes tedious. the banter becomes low hanging fruit. the conversation becomes competitive and thoughtless. it’s all about saying the most ludicrous thing for attention. it drags into politics of the worst kind.
and it poisons relationships. my sisters get a little meaner about other women. it’s so subtle and quick you wouldn’t notice it.
I long to be able to reach for women in history and not hunt for their names. not wade through the stories of their husbands or fathers before getting to them. I long for a world where female artists didn’t have to prostitute themselves for the male gaze, didn’t have to cripple their work by being nice to men.
even now in the modern age where information is more accessible than ever, you have to cut through so much noise to get to the voices of women. you have to cut through sob stories for killers and rapists before you get to the victims. you have to wade through male greats to get to their female predecessors.
if men aren’t talking over women, women are quieting themselves or too busy clamoring for another man’s attention, because his approval is power.
I want to show up to work without being condescended by a man who feels threatened by me. I am tired of censoring myself for male comfort.
who would I be, what could I do, if my movement, my body, my self-determination was not constantly suppressed. how many thoughts have I not allowed myself to think because the cost of speaking was too inconvenient?
cutting off male friends that violated my boundaries has already improved my quality of life, what would happen if I could be free of all of them?
I’d be healthier. happier. I’d be so much happier.

It's not just books, but free access to Internet and pcs. And other resources...
Reblog if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.
Not a book person, but I think it’s important.

The worst argument I've ever heard against abortion is 'the baby could grow up to be the next president or an astronaut, or the next picasso'.
History is full of women who had to give their dreams up to be mothers and housewives. History is full of real women who could of very well been at the top of their field who were instead forced to be mothers. Unlike babies who's path and skillset cannot be determined, there have been multiple talented teenage girls and women forced to be mothers.
This argument is just like every other argument against abortion. It proves that, once again, abortion is really about oppressing women.
