The problem with radfems is that their idea of “feminism” is to completely strip away things that make women feminine. They don’t want them to shave, they don’t want them to wear makeup or do their hair or dress up nice, they don’t want you to look cute and beautiful and act feminine. 
The real idea of feminism is for women to CHOOSE how they want to live their life and if that means being a submissive housewife or dressing up everyday and embracing your femininity, or not conforming to gender norms then ALL of that is perfectly okay.
What isn’t okay is making women feel bad for wanting to live their lives a certain way. They’re already ridiculed by society if they shy away from traditional female norms and then they are shamed by radfems when they choose to be feminine. 
Let women be who they want to be.
And also transphobia, radfems are disgusting.

Discussion/Challenging Gender Roles Masterlist
Clavum Nitorem (ao3) - phansb
It's July, 2011, and Dan wants to try wearing nail polish.
Gender Rolls Are the Worst Kind of Bread (ao3) - orphan_account
Short little fic about Dan wearing dresses because it's five in the morning and i can't sleep
Demiboy (ao3) - orphan_account
Dan is dealing with exploring gender identity and Phil is there to help/be supportive.
Formless (ao3) - truerequitedlove
Dan wished he was formless
Hold your head high (ao3) - heartsopenminds
Back in his childhood ballet classes, it hadn't taken Dan long to realise he wasn't supposed to perform the moves he was learning in the same way as the girls in his class.
He learned to pack away the parts of himself that weren't acceptable, the ones that sometimes wanted to move in softer, gentler ways, that wanted the chance to express elegance and beauty with his body as well as strength.
But does he need to keep up this facade forever? Or is it finally time to let himself be free?
Lovely Things (ao3) - fin_flora
Dan doesn't want to conform to stereotypes. And thats okay.
Phil doesn't believe in labels. And they love each other.
Pink Jumpers and Black Lace (ao3) - iihappydaysii
Not all of Dan's clothes come from the men's department.
Pretty Baby (ao3) - Spring_Haze
Dan, who previously fought his own, natural, femininity, explores the traditionally feminine to surprise his future husband and learns that there is much to love about these parts of himself.
Skirting Around the Subject -- a Phil Lester Gender Struggle - TrashFan
It started as an accident, a series of small disasters that landed Phil standing in a train station in a skirt. From there, things seemed to spiral out of control. A google search here, a shopping trip there, and suddenly Phil is left not knowing who he is and what he wants for himself.
Snip (ao3) - t_hens
Dan feels like she’s not being authentic because she doesn’t look ‘queer enough’ so she decides to cut her hair
Shades of Gay (ao3) - counting2fifteen
Dan is confused about gender things. Dan asks PJ for help.
Shimmer (ao3) - sunflowerwitches (orphan_account)
Phil takes a step towards exploring his own femininity after seeing dan's confidence grow because of it
Soft and delicate (ao3) - sunflowerwitches (orphan_account)
Dan looks into new ways to grow comfortable and confident with his femininity
Softness Has No Gender (ao3) - phandoe
"I love the boy in you. And I love the girl in you. And everything in between."
Inspired by Dia Davina's poem "In Between".
The Itch Under Your Skin (ao3) - lauraneversleeps (LauraLittlemiss)
Dan just had this itch under his skin. (Or the one where Dan is gender-fluid and didn't realize)
Waterfall braid (ao3) - lovestillaround
Summary: sometimes, Flo wonders if she knows how to be a woman

Day 18
I discovered some deep engrained shame I never knew I had.
I don't know how explicit I can be on here, so I'll try to find a way around.
I wrote about my hormones making my body desire procreation. Like, a lot more than before. One way to handle this is of course some alone time. Now, I don't have a lot of stuff I don't feel comfortable to talk about. Especially with my partner. So when we talked about doing the thing, I got very overwhelmed by an uncomfortable feeling I could not quite explain, but I think I figured it out a bit.
My partner is amab and is used to making jokes and hearing about the thing with their own body. Now I as an afab person also heared these jokes in all different kinds of media, but there were way less jokes about the thing with my kind of body. Even with my friends it was a topic that wasn't really talked about. Periods were no issue. Even when talking to people without a uterus, but the thing is different.
I believe I was raised without much gender norms pushed on me, so it surprised me even more to find this shame I never thought I had. I always felt like a very open person, even when talking about details of my body. But when my partner asked me about doing the thing, I felt incredibly embarrassed. It was like no one should know I do this. For them it was something they have talked to me about a few times now and it was never weird. But it was always about them and the thing, not me.
Now that I noticed this shame related to my assigned gender, I try to figure out how to conquer it. It doesn't really help that I'm not that gender, because my body hasn't changed since I learned this shame, so it still feels like it's relevant. Of course a lot has changed about the shame surrounding afab bodys. I even follow creators who post a lot about being comfortable with their body and talking about the thing. I admire them for this, but I'm not quite there myself.
I believe noticing my shame and the probable cause of it is a pretty good start to learning to handle it. Making jokes about it is not that big of a problem. Acknowledging actually doing it is what feels kind of wrong. I know it isn't wrong. It's pretty healthy and good to get to know oneself. It'll just take some time to get used to it. Now that it's a bigger topic in my life, I'll get to think about it a lot more than before.
and a little meme for the way

"I love my parents but NO MORE DRESSES, PLEASE! Raised within the church, traditional gender roles were applied and abided by. But, F**K THAT!
Black or darker shades of clothing give me confidence in my body and mind, which suits well with my current style aesthetic. This is inspired by the ‘Dykes on Bikes’ community with a hint of nerdy vibes.
TATTS, DOCS, CHAINS AND RINGS."

Gender Roles Unveiled: Expectation vs. Reality Hey there, curious minds! 🌟 Let's peel back the curtain on a topic that's as old as time: gender roles. We've all heard the whispers of societal expectations, but guess what? Reality often paints a different picture. Reality Check: Breaking Molded Notions 🚀 Expectations might say one thing, but reality is here to rewrite the narrative. Girls are coding wizards, boys are ballet stars – we're all unique masterpieces, chiseling our paths without constraints. Expectation: Housebound vs. Hustler 🏠 In the world of expectation, women excel at homemaking, while men conquer the corporate jungle. But hey, reality alert: women are CEOs, men are stay-at-home dads – because life's roles are as versatile as we are. Reality Check: A Symphony of Roles 🎶 Newsflash: life isn't a binary equation. It's a vibrant orchestra of roles. Women lead, men, nurture, and we all dance to our own tunes, creating harmonious symphonies of existence. Expectation: Hushed Emotions 🤐 Boys don't cry, right? Wrong. In reality, emotions are our human superpower. Whether joy or sorrow, they paint our stories in hues that can't be contained by stereotypes. Reality Check: Expressing, Not Suppressing 🎭 Emotions flow through us all – a river of empathy connecting our hearts. So let's banish those outdated scripts and allow ourselves to feel, express, and heal. Remember, amazing souls, society's script might be inked with expectations, but reality is our canvas. We're the artists, the scriptwriters, and the directors of our stories. Let's keep painting with vibrant strokes, breaking barriers, and embracing the beauty of authentic, unscripted lives. 🌟🎨

A glimpse into my life:
My husband works 12 hour night shift at a local chemical plant. He has an extremely hot, dangerous, and exhausting job. When he comes home every morning, he comes home to a tidy, welcoming home, even if I’m still asleep.
We also have two very young children. So how do I keep the home tidy? Naturally, they play during the day and toys get scattered. We go outside to play and bring some dirt in with us. I maintain the home by picking a cleaning task every day, on top of daily tidying. Whether that be mopping all the floors, or just focusing on one room. It depends based on how the day is going and what else I am doing.
By doing one task most days during the week, my entire home stays clean. (Also, invest in a cordless vacuum and run it over the floors in the main living areas a few times a day! It’s a game changer.) Most importantly for me, all day I pick up things the kids aren’t playing with and move it back to their rooms. That way when evening comes, after I’ve cleaned up supper, I can do a quick cleanup of the toys, throw any dishes into the dishwasher, get the kids into the bath, then it’s time for a bit of a movie and bedtime! We love Disney classics. The new age movies are just so odd at times.
The house is all tidy by the time we go to bed. That means I get to rest in the evenings and don’t run around the house cleaning once they are in bed. I text my husband a lot in the evenings to let him know I love him and appreciate what he does.
When Hubby comes home, the house is clean and welcoming. It’s usually quiet too because the kids aren’t up yet. I’m usually still in bed. I greet him with a smile, and ask him how his night was. It’s the little things that add up to a welcoming home.

Gender roles in hobbies
I’m glad gender expectations are changing and here is why. 
As a child, I was always shamed for being interested in toys that were marketed towards boys. When I was 5, I wanted Hot Wheels cars so badly. I would see the commercials about the new track that would launch the cars and make them go through loops. But due to societal norms, I thought I wasn’t allowed to ask for them. I would go over to my neighbor’s house to play with his cars.  
I loved Pokemon and video games. I had a Nintendo 64 console and would play all sorts of Mario and Pokemon games. I could recite the name of every one of the 150 original Pokemon and could even tell you the height and weight of some.  
My friends at school were almost all boys. I was in Girl Scouts. I was friendly with most of the girls in my troop, but I didn’t fit in with their groups. I would have a good time but I wasn’t interested in talking about dance or gymnastics, I wanted to talk about Pokemon.  
My hair was cut into a blunt, chin length bob most of the time. I didn’t want long hair. My sisters are 7 and 12 years older than me and would spend hours in front of the mirror putting on makeup or doing their hair. I would watch them. I would always tell them I’d never wear makeup and they’d respond with “wait until you’re older”. Society encouraged me to have some tomboy superiority complex that I’m thrilled I grew out of.  
I spent many years being a tomboy. In 2007, I was 14 and I discovered pop-punk music and eyeliner. Despite being embarrassed about who I was when I was 14, I’m really grateful for this time period of my life.There was a lot of androgyny in the music scene and boys would wear the tightest girl jeans they could find and everyone painted their nails black and wore heavy eyeliner that mimicked a raccoon.  
Because of this, I learned that items truly have no gender and also taught me to embrace my more feminine side. Girls on Myspace who were the pioneers of influencing online would be so beautiful with their ripped black skinny jeans and tank top with lightning bolts encouraged me that I could be tomboyish but still feminine. Clothing looked a lot like this around this time.  
My love for eyeliner eventually led me to a love for all cosmetics. If you had told my 8-year-old self that I’d work in a makeup store and occasionally freelance bridal makeup, I would have never believed you. Assigning gender roles to hobbies creates a lifetime of insecurities.  
I wish I never felt shame in wanting those hot wheels cars when I was young. I wish I had asked for them because my parents would have bought them for me. I come across them in stores every so often and part of me wants to buy them to appease my inner child. I try to buy things I wanted as a child sometimes. We owe it to our younger selves. I truly believe that it’s a part of our healing processes. It’s a form of self-care.  
I see my nieces liking some of the same things I did as a child and it’s really comforting to know that they won’t feel the same gender shame that I felt. They can freely like Pokemon as much as boys can and there are even “feminine” Pokemon products out there like hair berets. Future generations will be able to fully indulge in things that make them happy; regardless of marketing.

Politics and Witchcraft: How Your Political Views Can Influence Your Practice
Witchcraft has been a part of human history for centuries, and it has evolved over time with cultural and social changes. Today, witchcraft is still a popular practice for many, and it can be influenced by a variety of factors, including one's political views. In this article, we'll explore how the political wing you belong to can change your witchcraft practice and how your own political view can affect your practice.
Politics and Witchcraft
The practice of witchcraft is often associated with alternative or countercultural movements, including political movements. Many witches, particularly in modern times, may identify as left-leaning or progressive, which is often reflected in their magical practices.
Witches who identify as left-leaning may incorporate social justice and activism into their practice, using spells and rituals to bring about change and support movements like Black Lives Matter or environmental activism. They may also use their practice to heal from trauma related to social issues like racism or misogyny.
On the other hand, witches who identify as right-leaning may incorporate more conservative or traditional values into their practice, focusing on protecting their families and communities and promoting personal responsibility. They may also use their practice to support traditional gender roles or religious beliefs.
Regardless of political affiliation, many witches may also use their practice to help them navigate and cope with the stress and uncertainty of politics and current events.
Your Political View and Your Practice
Your own political views can also influence how you approach your witchcraft practice. For example, if you're a left-leaning witch, you may focus on using your practice to support social justice and activism. This could include casting spells to protect marginalized communities or working to dismantle oppressive systems.
If you're a right-leaning witch, you may focus on using your practice to protect your family and community, or to support traditional values and religious beliefs.
Your political views may also influence the types of deities or spirits you work with, the types of spells or rituals you perform, and the materials you use in your practice.
It's worth noting that while political views can certainly influence your witchcraft practice, they don't necessarily dictate it. Many witches find ways to incorporate multiple perspectives and beliefs into their practice, or to separate their political views from their magical work entirely.
Finding a Balance
If you're looking to incorporate your political views into your witchcraft practice, it's important to find a balance that works for you. This could mean focusing on issues that are important to you while still incorporating other aspects of your practice, or finding ways to stay grounded and centered amidst political turmoil.
It's also important to recognize that not all witches will share your political views, and that's okay. Witchcraft is a personal practice, and everyone's approach will be unique to them.
In conclusion, political views can have a significant impact on a witchcraft practice, from the types of spells performed to the deities or spirits invoked. However, it's important to remember that your practice is your own, and it's up to you to find a balance that works for you. Regardless of your political affiliation, witchcraft can provide a powerful tool for healing, empowerment, and personal growth.
