"In her heart she is a mourner for those who have not survived. In her soul she is a warrior for those who are now as she was then. In her life she is both celebrant and proof of women's capacity and will to survive. Each year she is stronger and ...
Why do women even need to argue that we exist and we aren't an idea in a man's head. The whole concept is insulting and representative of how society doesn't see women as human.
One of the biggest failures of modern feminism is not so much that it prioritizes men's feelings over violence against women, which it does, but because of a general refusal to confront the darkest aspects of men's desires. There's a valid fear of ...
Social media is saturated with porn and hashtags that men have created, reducing women to sexual objects, promoting the idea that a nerdy guy can be accepted if he "becomes" a woman. Most people ignore this because it's easier to prioritize feelings ...
There are over 100k posts like this on Instagram, tagged with MtF, bimbofication, sissification, tgirls. When women point out the obvious, that men are objectifying us and taking it to an extreme, we are called hateful; clearly this is men ...
The older I get, the less I care about what men think — their propaganda machine of male artwork called the 'canon,' like a weapon — and the more easily I am wounded by women, whether we are strangers or sisters.
Women have protested for bodily autonomy for centuries. This is a basic right that will never be granted to us as long as men are in charge of giving us freedom. When we talk about human rights, it is men's rights—how willing they are to consider our ...
I wish for more angry women, not only in extreme circumstances. It's telling that human rights orgs treat our lives differently depending on country. There's a consensus that the more rights women achieve, the less our freedom matters, and the more ...
The idea of being born in the wrong body is not natural. Nor is autogynephilia; both are constructed by society, and porn, respectively. Men are projecting their desires, passing them off as natural, and using children to normalize objectified ideas ...
Women are repeatedly told this never happens, and if it does, we are bigots for pointing it out. 1) no man who respects women would claim our identity by reducing us to feminine stereotypes; 2) those who believe that women can be reduced to a thought ...
Malta is the only country in the European Union to prohibit abortion entirely. The Women’s Rights Foundation is part of the first wave of abortion activism ever to take place in Malta and has been joined by a handful of advocates for change. ...
"If the emancipation of men is based on the subordination of women, then women cannot achieve ‘equal rights’ with men, which would necessarily include the right to exploit others. Hence, a feminist strategy must aim at an end [to] all exploitation." ...

The UNFPA predicts there could be up to 7 million unintended pregnancies worldwide because of the COVID-19 crisis, with potentially thousands of deaths from unsafe abortions and complicated births due to inadequate access to emergency care. ...
"The pandemic has really exposed a weakness in social protection systems, but revealed how strongly our society depends on care work. At the same time it also sharply increased the care burden. States must invest in care services.” #SexNotGender ...
Native American women in some communities are killed at more than 10 times the national average. Almost 80% of Native women will experience some form of physical abuse and over half will experience some form of sexual assault. #SexNotGender ...
Hundreds of women marched through Mexico's capital to demand nationwide legalisation of abortion. Abortion is illegal in Mexico outside the capital city and the southern state of Oaxaca. #AbortoLegalYa #28S #SeraLey #QueSubaLaMarea #SexNotGender ...

RT @TheClash709: The way these policies are covered by the media is atrocious. Giving men access to cosmetics is lauded as respectful but the obvious risk this places incarcerated women in doesn't merit a mention. https://t.co/wrwIcL...
