Still cis tho
The perfectly cishet male urge to:
• be a woman
• be married to another woman
• both move to a little hut in the forest
• have multiple cat (& possibly corvid) familiars
• brew "potions" together
• destroy the patriarchy & other forces of oppression... but still have high speed internet

Popping in to remind all of you that gender is a scam made by bathroom companies.
Defy the flush, abolish the patriarchy.
But most importantly, have a good day!

Yes I like Florence and the machine and Kate Bush, yes I have an interest in feminism, nature and classical art, and yes I also think witchcraft/neopagan/divine femininity/astrology/crystal healing stuff is cringe inducing.

I say this in my classes:
The problem isn't men, it's patriarchy
The problem isn't white people, it's white supremacy
The problem isn't straight people, it's homophobia
Recognize systems of oppression before letting individual defensiveness paralyze you from dismantling them.

A guy just asked Reddit’s WitchesVsPatriarchy how to tell women how to STFU about issues that impact them, but in a woke way.

What do you think about the term "witch"? I know it means a lady with powerful magical abilities. But of course, that term was also with what happened in Salem... and it feels like a deragotory term now. I'm just feeling iffy about it because I have an all-time favorite heroine from a favorite franchise. She's very powerful in magic, but she's often called a "witch" by a majority of other characters simply because they don't understand her. But she's one of the best heroines ever written. So what's your opinion on the term "witch". Is it still deragotory, or is it a good term?
Well, tbf, my perception of the word "witch" has been completely warped by Madoka Magica so it's always what I think of when I hear the word, lol.
But to answer your question, I actually think it's pretty empowering when a strong woman is called a witch. For a long time that word was used to demonize and even kill women who weren't socially "acceptable," but I feel like thanks to feminism and our media landscape the word has definitely been reclaimed as a good thing (at least in media, maybe still not irl lol). If you want to see a cool example of feminists leaning into the witch aesthetic, check out r/WitchesVsPatriarchy on Reddit.
Also, fun fact, many early magical girl shows were focused on young witches. That fell out of favor after the Sailor Moon revolution, but Ojamajo Doremi is a more recent series that utilizes the whole "witch = magical girl" angle. So does Mahou Tsukai Precure, actually.
