Hi friends, I'm gonna park my Bluesky account for a while. I just can't give it the attention it deserves, much as I wish I could.

Be sure to follow me on Instagram, TikTok, Threads and YouTube where I am better able to keep track of our conversations ❤️
A haunted house but it's just men yelling "you chose motherhood so don't complain about how hard it is" while yelling that all women must have kids

Men in my comments: You're only a feminist because your dad rejected you

My dad: [still calls me Summie-chum]

If it hurts men's feelings to hear that we are so afraid to meet a man alone in the woods that we would prefer to meet a bear – all I want to hear from men is, how can I change men's behaviour so that is not the case?

Beauty standards can never be decolonised, can never be decapitalised and can never really be feminist.

Hierarchies of beauty are white supremacist, racist, fatphobic and ableist.

Will your feminism ruin your chances of love? Depends if you know what love is.

Feminism will certainly cost you the attention of men who would drain your resources, disempower you, and expect you to compromise your self-respect.

Real love doesn't expect you to submit to your own dehumanisation👍

Don't let anyone tell you the pay gap exists because women just don't ask for higher pay (or promotions). Studies show that when women try to negotiate for pay & opportunities, we are rejected. Women are punished for insubordination if we advocate for ourselves – behaviour for which men are rewarded

Ladies, every time a guy tries to manterrupt you, just keep talking. Talk until he runs out of steam and can't get his voice past you. Keep talking until he's flummoxed. Don't accept interruptions. Practise this skill until it's second nature. Keep talking until men learn never to interrupt us again

A cishet male ally to feminism is merely a patient wolf. Prime your hackles accordingly.

Women are not "privileged" by staying at home while their men go to work. While it's a privilege if only one person's salary can support the household, a SAHM performs 24/7 unpaid domestic labour and child care. This work facilitates the man to build a career which will (1/2)

Feminism is one of the only – if not the only – sociopolitical movement that does consistently and chiefly bring solutions and educate around solutions that can help to achieve gender equality.

Men don't bestow some grand favour on women by forcing them into primary child caring responsibilities in exchange for paying a few bills. Marriage and motherhood under capitalist patriarchy are designed to remove women from their careers and public life to support men to continue in theirs.

Romantic partnerships are supposed to be PARTNERSHIPS. You can't love someone at the same time as creating work for them that you have no intention of alleviating.

Love is as love does.

And exploiting someone – as so many men do in a heteropatriarchal society – is not love.

"Provider" men can choose to withdraw their financial presence from a woman's life at any time, leaving her with employment gaps, lapsed workforce skills and bleak options to support herself.

Oh, you think she's getting child support and half his assets in the divorce? You must be new here.

When a couple has children, it's imperative they both engage in the gruelling, unpaid labour of caregiving, and the domestic labour that keeps the home running.

And just because one of the parents is also going out and earning income, they're still not exempt from doing the rest of the work.

Women regularly me that motherhood radicalised them.

It doesn't surprise me. Motherhood throws you into the grinder of some of the worst inadequacies and inequalities of our social systems – in ways that non-mothers don't tend to encounter. Being radicalised is almost unavoidable.

Hookup culture is one of those things that in a neutral society, without awful gendered power dynamics of exploitation, might be harmless. It would be wonderful if people could seek pleasure, negotiate fun hookup experiences, and come away from them feeling empowered and fulfilled.
But as we know...

No matter how much time feminists spend educating women about the systemic nature of their oppression – there will always be those who stagger into our replies dragging the bloated corpse of "bUt fEmiNiSm iS wHen wOmEn GeT To cHoOse"

One way to decenter men, which we don't talk about much, is removing men as your sources of entertainment, information and life advice – turning away from male creators, authors, influencers and pundits.

Curating a life where you mostly pay attention to women can have an amazing influence on you.

Men feel slighted by women not centering them in the world and they decide that women deserve death for that.

Can you imagine if women decided that men deserved death every time we experienced patriarchal oppression, misogyny, being dismissed, dehumanised and degraded because of systemic misogyny?

Funny the way women have legitimate reasons to hate and fear men – for the provable, demonstrated ways they treat us with violence and disrespect, and are oppressive, degrading, and dehumanising – and yet we don't go around killing men or even being violent or threatening to them.

Think about how many successful women you watched drop out of their career once they had children, while the father of their kids continued to rise in success.

If we're asking "can women have it all?" the answer is only yes if men step back and do for us what we've been doing for them.
July 4, 2025 at 8:45 PM
It's not that women can have it all – it's that women are expected to do it all.

And women can't have it all because we are busy facilitating men to have it all.

Maybe I'd want kids too if I could be a dad.
