be a feminist support our lives

if abortion is illegal, a man leaving a women which he got pregnant should also be illegal. if a woman can’t back away from pregnancy, neither should a man.

My husband [ 26m] took out my IUD last night,

TW: ABUSIVE MARRIAGE , REPRODUCTIVE COERCION , PHYSICAL AND SEXUAL ASSAULT

So this will sound crazy , and I guess it kind of is .

I am 23F and have been married to my husband for 2 years .we have a 1.5 year old daughter . I love him so much and he is a great father . He I told him I wasn't sure when I'd feel ready flr another kid since I just got off maternity leave a year ago and am working full time .

In the past few months after our daughter turned 1 , he's been really vocal about his wish for another kid . we usually use the pull out method , but it got to the point where I didn't even trust him to pull out ( this was how our daughter was conceived actually ) . so last month I secretly booked an appointment with my doctor and he gave me an IUD despite my aversion to getting hormones .

My husband does not know about my IUD . He has not been pulling out very often which makes me glad I got the IUD . however , yesterday , he found out because he caught me reading about it on the Internet . He got angry at me for hiding it from him and when we were about to have sex that night , reached in there and tried to get it out , which hurt like hell . I was panicking and hitting him and yelling for him to stop , but he ignored me and managed to pull it out . he then threw it in the trash and told me that "those things" are not good for my body anyways .

I'm so shaken . I'm normally a very calm and tough person but he really scared me. He apologized to me this morning and said he was just angry for not telling him about the IUD and getting it done behind his back .

What should I do ? I feel violated . My husband has always been rather pushy and mad when he doesn't get his way , but he's never gone this far.

Online pornography is being accessed by boys as young as eight, and one out of every three pornographic videos features explicit sexual violence or aggressiveness. This is just terrible. Mainstream pornography frequently depicts violence against women, such as strangulation and degradation, as the norm. Pornography is distorting men and destroying women's lives.

If you don't take the impacts of people like Jordan Peterson or Ben Sharpiro seriously and just brush them off as (the) idiots (they are)

Long read about Jordan Peterson and how his meatriders behave.

You should still take them seriously as a threat.

A peer of mine was going on about how women are chosing the wrong path. I asked him what path he thought was the wrong one, knowing it'd be your standard woman hating nonsense. Which it was. He said that women not getting married or having children was "the wrong path."

I told him that generally childless single women are the happier demographic. He laughed and asked for a source. I didn't have an answer because MULTIPLE sources say that. Literally all you have to do is like.. Search it up and most of the sources say this.

I asked him HIS source, to which he said Jordan Peterson.

I told him it was foolish to take the word of just one man. A man who almost had his license revoked nonetheless, but I did not bring up that part.

He said that just because I didn't like him for a reason apparently I didn't understand (???) that doesn't discredit him.

So not only are Peterson fanboys taking everything he says seriously, but they don't even GOOGLE what he says. This guy is literally obsessed with JP and takes him very seriously. He also fits the "troubled young man without a father" mold too.

JP is so fucking evil praying on vulnerable young men like this, and his peers do it too.

You aren't a feminist if you are prolife. stay mad.

A part of activism is knowing that it’s important to rest and okay to be tired, I think

"Not worth your time."

(from Kim Possible S3E12: "So the Drama")

i wish i was as delusional as a straight white man

Men were created before women. But that doesn't prove their superiority – rather, it proves ours, for they were born out of the lifeless earth in order that we could be born out of living flesh. And what's so important about this priority in creation, anyway? When we are building, we lay foundations on the ground first, things of no intrinsic merit or beauty, before subsequently raising up sumptuous buildings and ornate palaces. Lowly seeds are nourished in the earth, and then later the ravishing blooms appear; lovely roses blossom forth and scented narcissi.

- Moderata Fonte, The Worth of Women: Wherein Is Clearly Revealed Their Nobility and Their Superiority to Men (1600)

Moderata Fonte was the pseudonym of Modesta Pozzo (1555–92), a Venetian woman who was something of an anomaly. Neither cloistered in a convent nor as liberated from prevailing codes of decorum as a courtesan might be, Pozzo was a respectable, married mother who produced literature in genres that were commonly considered “masculine”- the chivalric romance and the literary dialogue. Her book, The Worth of Women, which was published in 1600, concerned itself with gender equality and the responsibility of husbands and fathers: issues that loom large today had currency in Renaissance Venice as well.

This work takes the form of the latter, with Fonte creating a conversation among seven Venetian noblewomen. The dialogue explores nearly every aspect of women’s experience in both theoretical and practical terms. These women, who differ in age and experience, take as their broad theme men’s curious hostility toward women and possible cures for it. Through this witty and ambitious work, Fonte seeks to elevate women’s status to that of men, arguing that women have the same innate abilities as men and, when similarly educated, prove their equals. Through this dialogue, Fonte provides a picture of the private and public lives of Renaissance women, ruminating on their roles in the home, in society, and in the arts. The book is a fine example of Renaissance vernacular literature, this book is also a testament to the enduring issues that women face, including the attempt to reconcile femininity with ambition but without the shrill tones of a strident feminism more prevalent today.

Also feel free to describe the term(s) you consider/call yourself and why in the tags.

The Dalai Lama ought to be held accountable for sexually assaulting a minor. He shouldn't be exempt from prosecution simply because he is a religious figurehead.

A child shouldn't be abused by anyone .

He is a child predator !!
