#women need periods

[thatrandomblogsays]

The tiktok about the 26 year old woman who never got a period and is getting testing because she’s trying to get pregnant makes me feel so feral. I want to beat every coach and doctor that’s ever told women athletes or skinny girls that it was okay they didn’t have a period because they were fit and skinny so the lack of body fat and period and underdevelopment was an issue. Girlie I am so sorry that all the people in your life continually failed you to such an extreme.

#news flash #women need periods #developing girls need the hormones to grow and have strong boys #you need hormones #they’re there for a reason #so many gymnasts have damaged skeletal structures because they were pressured to starve themselves while doing insane physical activity #i hope they figure it out and treat her because osteoporosis is no joke #you need body fat #if you have an irregular period please get it checked out to make sure something isn’t wrong #womens health #tiktok #menstrual cycle #mine

“trans women do not get periods. they may experience some period-like symptoms from the estrogen they’re taking but-”

nope, not even that!!! men cannot and will never experience even “some period-like symptoms” because they don’t have a fucking uterus. none of the side effects that come along with males taking exogenous hormones have anything to do with a female human-specific biological process. the male body, inundated with estrogen, does not suddenly get confused and then try to mimic female biological processes. that’s not how any of this works. whatever side effects they’re experiencing is male-specific, because they’re male. males cannot and will never have “period-like symptoms” ever, i don’t care, fuck OFF

#yes! i am gatekeeping periods tf #and whenever i see women beign rightfully angry about men claiming they have periods too #but then caveat it with ‘you may be experiencing period-like symptoms but it’s not the same’ #like NO actually. they’re not even experiencing that #periods are female exclusive you MUST be a female to experience menstruation #like i don’t care if this sounds like pulling teeth or whatever but I’m so sick of the language being co-opted at this point #we NEED to hold the line and stand firm about it #so no. you’re not experiencing anything ‘period-like’ you fucking fetishists bc you’re MALE #radical feminism #periods #radsplain.txt

I need all the anti feminist girlies to realize that most of the reasons their lives are difficult is because of late stage capitalism and the still existing system of patriarchy, not feminism.

#youre anti feminist you're a misogynistic #period. #feminism is the reason you have the independence you do how dare you degrade the valuable efforts made by feminists #its utterly EMBARRASSING for any woman to trash feminism #like girl.......get educated #feminism #no shame in calling yourself a feminist #being anti feminist is an embarrassing position to take actually #tbh i find anti feminist women are typically white women #lol sorry i felt the need to point that out

Was supposed to be drawing today but stuff happened and now I'm not in the mood so I guess I'll be watching UY movie 5..

#stuff refers to the monthly torture aka periods #i woke up to the worst pain ive had in a long time #it was so bad i had to take painkillers which i dont usually do #because of that im fine now but im scared about the situation once it wears off #oh right and because of usual mood swings i had an entire dilemma in the morning which basically went like 'WHY DOES GOD HATE WOMEN?' #« this is kinda funny now that im better but the statement still stands #im sorry but i needed to get this out of my system #wouldve put it in the actual post but im too embarassed..

Fine, I'll admit it. With long hair...

He's very attractive. He really is.

But, he's a harebrained trend chaser, who will butcher his good looks for fickle fashion.

He also looks like he should be wearing a kilt, not a cloak. Because of the long red hair, not David's nationality.

#good omens #crowley #good omens crowley #diary pages #good omens fandom #fine he's handsome hot even #but he's a trend chaser #no i get adapting and that he'd need to have short hair in certain time periods like the roman empire #but when one can why not return to your best looks - he seems like he ditched the mane forever #crowley you stupid idiot moron #also did he come from hell or did he escape from braveheard he looks scottish with a trademark sign #maybe it's a bi girl thing maybe it's a me thing but men usually have to have long hair for me to find them attractive #there are exeptions paul bettany as michael in legion the frontman of behemoth even michael langdon #don't get me wrong david's a very good looking man but he's not eye candy short haired XD #tbh everyone men AND women are mostly attractive me with long hair #good omens gifs #my gifs #david tennant #trend chasing is lame tbh some style choices are to be timeless #wait speaking of that does he wear the sunglasses so people wouldn't assume he's wearing colored contacts #me to my fem!Crowley: my baby #me to regular Crowley: you stupid idiot moron

people on here are like “but men ARE oppressed!! just look at [demographic that is oppressed on a non-gender axis]” and—aside from the fact that being oppressed in some way apart from gender is in no way the same as being oppressed for being a man—i see none of that energy returned for women who are also oppressed on another axis. none of the people prioritizing men and their comfort ever express concern or overt support for black women, queer women, or disabled women. these identities only matter when used as a token or talking point for shutting down discussions about misogyny. this wave of anti-feminist rhetoric that prioritizes mens feelings over women’s liberation will be the death of us

#‘​‘but what about men of color’’ it’s racism. disabled men? ableism. queer men? homophobia/transphobia. the common denominator is not gender #misogyny affects all women regardless. interesting how people talk about ‘misandry’ only in the context of having other oppressed identities #you can’t say men are oppressed as a whole for their gender if it has to come with a modifier #you need to care about racism period. not just when it’s convenient to redirect conversations about women

last thing I wanna do is get involved in ted lasso shipping discourse but I’ve been seeing a lot of ‘ted and rebecca shouldn’t end up together because she needs to focus on herself’ takes lately. and like. why. she has been focusing on herself. if we look at her character arc as her learning to love herself and prioritizing her individuality after losing herself in a toxic marriage, she HAS achieved that. in fact I would argue that the last episode effectively completed that arc by making her realize that she’s fully let go of all her feelings for rupert, good or bad. now she can go to a business meeting with him and even share a laugh with him like she would do with any other acquaintance because she no longer cares about him, about what he thinks or feels. she’s over her obsession with him, she’s over her hurt and desire for vengeance. she’s healed. and that is already the completion of her arc. if she also finds love in the last two episodes (with ted or whoever), that’s a bonus! not the fulfillment of her development, that has already happened and no matter what, it wouldn’t be overshadowed by whatever happens next.

also in general. why is it always female characters who ‘need to work on themselves’ before getting into relationships, but never male characters? I don’t see people say ted, who’s still depressed and not fully over his divorce, should be focusing on himself instead of getting into a new relationship, nearly as much. why do people assume that if a woman with emotional baggage (and who doesn’t have that anyway) gets into a romantic relationship, that will automatically take away from her self-actualization, but if a man in similar circumstances does it, it won’t affect his personal development? there’s nothing #feminist about insisting that female characters who crave love and connection should actually be alone as if it’s impossible for them to be fully self-actualized fulfilled human beings while also being in a romantic relationship

#ted lasso #tedbecca #also this is not even specifically about tedbecca but in general about how people perceive women in media #this is the same shit people say about eleven from stranger things to justify their dislike of eleven/mike in favor of a different ship #and it’s the stupidest take and it’s so annoying #just say you don’t like the ship period you don’t need to find a hashtag feminist reason for it #ted lasso spoilers

the seperation of lesbians and gay men is a travesty. "why are there so many historic gay bars and only like a handful of lesbian bars in the whole country" why are being gay and lesbian not the same thing in this context. you dont need to fuck everyone at the bar and it is a problem that needs to be addressed if these spaces arent mutually hospitable. and this applies to most gay/lesbian spaces imo

#its just wrong to assume gay spaces arent for women and if any gay men are reinforcing that it needs to be stopped lol #but a lot of it seems like very gender-biased willing exclusion bc they dont wanna associate with men #which um. grow up to you too #gender segregation is just evil period #other than intimate circumstances if you refuse to hang around people you perceive as x gender #its a problem you need to work on it's not just a right you've earned #now yes of course there are able to be specific cases of bars that are more explicitly lesbian or gay #but assuming if a bar is a ''gay bar'' its just for gay men is a fallacy... do you even go to these places? #''buh buh buh if theres a drag show drag is insulting to women cis and trans'' its not. address your revulsion #i know i come across harsh toned im actually more being flabbergasted that weve got to this point rather than saying hey you in particular #its just so strange to have grew up in the gay climate i did where the only lesbian flag was just lipstick lesbian and the girls didnt like #if you assumed every lesbian fell under it and to just use rainbow #and now people act like gay and lesbian arent synonyms because of gender seperatism. which disproportionally hurts members of the lgbt #community because they are more likely to be gnc lol #also a lot of individual opinions you just see the terf hand guiding. #and i HATE THE TOOTHPASTE FLAG!! #no pink flag for girls so blue flag for boys get the fuck out of my face #i dont want to superficially share my experiences with gay men i need community with gay PEOPLE

The problem with Eloise is that her character doesn't fuck and doesn't get off the bed.

Either they shouldn't have had an explicitly "feminist" character and just left us to enjoy the illusion of historical romance, or they should have gone all the way and given a drop, an inch, a smidge of class consciousness.

#it could (and should) have been period appropriate!! #I don't need her to start brandishing DAS KAPITAL or anything #I just want her to give a single shit about working class women #even if it was paternalistic charity!! just SOMETHING!! #this season when she was going onnnnn to Cressida that there would be so much time for academics and art #if only they didn't have to worry about finding husbands #do you know. do you know who doesn't have time for academics Eloise?. #THE WOMEN COOKING ALL THE FOOD #FOR THE DAMN HUSBAND-CATCHING BALLS.

This woman you see when you look at me could I cut her out to get you to call me he? What if I was my own Ripper? My own Lizzie Stride and I ripped my guts open wide thrilled by every second of it What if I filled the pot holes on my street with her blood and it’s mine And while I scream, trying to get you to see me and she screams because I’m killing her Well, I’m flooding the neighborhood red with blood that doesn’t exist. While my sisters are out there screaming to be seen And you’re killing them.

Oh to be in genuine girl friendships/sisterhood (ᴗ_ ᴗ。)

anne rice is actually an inspiration to me because you can tell by some of her writing that she has the range and capability for beautifully written and extremely evocative prose but then sometimes you can literally feel her give up and put zero effort into entire portions of her books and honestly i kinda respect that

#she is also a freak and has no concept of cringe which makes her too powerful imo #we do need shame as a society but not as far as women writing about vampires eating period pussy are concerned #like she'll make me read the worst string of words i've ever read in my life and i'll just sit there like. more power to you anne i guess

The way people (even you self-proclaimed progressive types) just JUMP at the opportunity to dehumanize, insult, and put down pregnant folks, especially women, is maddening.

#you all just hate and have intense disdain for women and mothers #you people seriously need to unpack why you're so eager to put down and disrespect expectant and nursing mothers #you guys are misogynists point blank period #sorry but pregnant women exist and will jave the audacity to be on public transit and other public spaces #they have that right you fucking pigs #motherhood #pregnancy #misogyny #patriarchy #i swear this is tied to ableism too somehow #ableism
