"In the mid-1700s, a seawoman in Iceland named Björg Einarsdóttir composed a poem teasing men on her boat for their weak rowing:

Do row better my dear man, Fear not to hurt the ocean. Set your shoulders if you can Into harder motion.

Einarsdóttir was not only a talented poet but an excellent fisher. She often caught more fish than other crew members, and people believed that her ability to lure the animals was supernatural. When she was dying, she reportedly passed on this uncanny skill to a farmer by writing a poem about him catching trout.

Her work at sea may seem unusual. After all, fishing is generally considered a man’s job. But recent work by an American researcher, Margaret Willson, suggests that Einarsdóttir was one of hundreds of Icelandic women in the 18th and 19th centuries who braved towering waves and icy waters to catch fish. Willson’s team combed through historical archives and publications to gather examples ranging from a female captain who led crews made up entirely of women, to expectant mothers who rowed late into pregnancy.

The sea “wasn’t a male space,” says Willson, a cultural anthropologist at the University of Washington in Seattle and a former seawoman. “It was not a feminist act in any way for them to go to sea.” It was just part of everyday life."

after learning about the Korean telegram chats where thousands upon thousands of men watch and enjoy the torture of women and girls, many of whom were blackmailed because men in the chats had access to all of their personal information, I think that Korean men should be thanking their lucky stars that the women in the 4B movement are only refusing to date, marry and have children with them rather than get revenge.

the vast majority of women on earth have zero desire to see men and little boys be sexually tortured and violated no matter how badly men have treated us, we just want liberation and safety. but sure, keep telling me how misandry is just as bad as misogyny.
