“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power....”
– (via velvet-hammer)
YES. I agree with this so much. I cry…a lot. I am often moved to tears by my own expression and was told by people around me (never my mother) growing up that I was “too” emotional, “too sensitive”. FUCK THAT NOISE. I think it takes great strength to let go on that level.

Alternet: "On Prisons, Borders, Safety, and...
Submitted by carolinastar:
I wonder again: What is your feminism for? If it is for disruption and redistribution of power across society (i.e., not just for women like you), it cannot be so ignorant of, exploitative of, and even counter to the prison-abolition and immigrants’ rights movements — not only because marginalized women are involved in and affected by those struggles, but...

Regarding "Think Women have achieved equality?"
Submitted by thatssopostmodern:
Hi, I am a Women’s Studies student and have been a feminist for as long as I can remember. I think that this post you reblogged is vital, and crucial especially when investigating the inequalities women face daily (both consciously and subconsciously) by not only men but by society and institutionally as well (actually, in almost every arena). However, I...

Boycott American Women
No, this is actually a blog; http://boycottamericanwomen.blogspot.com/

I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce...

A conversation with my Dad at the pub yesterday had me thinking a lot about feminism. I’m a feminist, that’s for sure, and I’m proud of it. I’m also against discrimination of any kind. All humans regardless of race, gender, sexuality, age and ability should receive the same respect – it is only their actions that (for me) dictate whether that respect is maintained or diminished.

Think women have achieved equality? Think again. →
We Can’t Be Equal While:
Gender Roles
Men are the default and women are the Other (and therefore lesser).
Being called “girly” or a “sissy” or “pussy” are some of the worst insults you can give a man.
When a woman shows confidence in herself, she is said to “have balls”, or conversely she is a “man-eater”, “ball-buster”, or a “bitch” because she was “too” assertive.
Men are beat up,...
