AID ACCESS is a website ran by a Dutch feminist organization, Women on Waves, where people in the U.S. can buy abortion pills online. The pills are effective up to 10 weeks after fertilization occurs.
You can start the consultation online as soon as possible. If you are pregnant in the first trimester and need an abortion, you may want to refer to AID ACCESS!
I can't believe we're so close to electing someone who could codify Roe v. Wade, legalize weed, protect public education, and put Trump in jail and some of y'all are really like hmmm not good enough.
I love Democratic messaging (Kamala’s version)
There's a reason why I read Radfem literature to understand it and am sympathetic towards Radfems on an emotional level despite viscerally hating just about everything regarding the details of their beliefs and their political end goals. Their motivations make sense, even though I actively disagree with the manifestation of them.
You live in a world that is not made to support an important aspect of your identity. You live in a world that has traumatized you over and over again. That eats at you. You get angry. You get resentful. You find other people that not only feel the same way but also encourage your anger and resentment. This all radicalizes you. You fall into an echo chamber. You find scapegoats. You center yourself and your trauma above anyone else because you are hurt and scared and are surrounded by people encouraging you to weaponize that pain and fear.
The SCUM Manifesto is objective proof of this in many ways. I think Valarie Solanas was a deeply vile person, but she was also so deeply hurt and traumatized she couldn't imagine any other way of navigating the world than to externalize it all.
Violence begets violence, unresolved anger and trauma encourages extremism.
I think scared, hurt people lash out and hurt others. You personally do not have to engage with people like that. You can think they are vile and horrible. You can protect your own peace and mental well-being. But that doesn't make the scared, hurt people any less human or any less capable of change. Fear and anger and pain live in all of us and it is dangerous when that gets externalized, but it's worth combatting with compassion over more harm in my opinion.
There's a reason why I am so drawn to bell hooks, and my girlfriend placed it really well awhile back when she listened in to me watching a bell hooks talk. It's because bell hooks' ideology sounds like therapy. It's full of self healing and searching for understanding. It acknowledges the pain of the world and says "you can combat this suffering and heal from it without inflicting it onto others - especially not onto others who are also hurting from other directions"
I think there's a lot of meaning to be found there.
these 'not all men' clowns are beyond embarrassing, women are talking about their constant agony and these clowns expect them to say 'all men are trash except my neighbour raju who is unproblematic and helped me to put my scooty's stand one day', sharam karle thoda.
it's crazy to see men act offended, going to the extent of bringing up things like abuse against men(when they laughed it off when modi sarkaar made sexual harassment against men legal), sending rape threats, groping women in a rally arranged by the women for the woman who died mercilessly tortured at the hand of a man. men in fact. what is this world?
and the few women i can visibly see still bootlicking these men, i hope the manworshipping was worth all the threat you cause to your own kind.
not all men are rapists but all of them benefit from a patriarchal society.
this is so so sad….and also another reminder that the violent “jokes” people make about swifties are fucked up, and not okay. these threats disguised as harmless bullying translate into the real world, and cause real dangers and violence and DEATHS! just because it’s such a trend to hate taylor swift, and you think swifties are annoying, doesn’t make it okay to threaten them. because do you see now? it’s not just “jokes”. it’s misogyny, it’s normalized violence against women, and it encourages people to actually carry out their stupid “jokes”. Do you see what happens when you say things like “shoot a swiftie” or “all swifties should be exterminated”? THIS is what happens; real life violence and danger.
Lmao, Abby feels “betrayed” by Right wing conservative men, who been showing everyone they hated women literally from day one
