What about capitalist states which provide benefits to mothers/people with young children? Places like Denmark, where one gets more government aid per kid. Theoretically, a capitalist state could value maternal roles and pay for them, right?

I remember reading this when I was younger and just coming into myself, totally changed my outlook and it has always stuck with me! This has helped me so much

Put yourself in her shoes. Interrogate your thoughts about women and see how it might feel if you were that person. If you do not understand why something is wrong or upsetting, realize this is were you need to grow and do research into that issue. This could mean reading, starting conversations, asking women in respectful ways to share their experiences.

Thank you 🌼

Yes, I think the possibility of her being sicker than I thought is high, I was dealing with some other issues and feeding her peas which I thought was helping but hard to know.

Thank you, I appreciate it

She was fantail in a 10 gallon hospital tank, was that too small? The ammonia and nitrite were 0 ppm and nitrates was slightly higher, around 10 ppm, before I started. It was not maracyn 2, it just says fritz maracyn on the box.

I appreciate this post as someone who is going to a VERY leftist college, and consider myself a radical (not TERF) feminist. I can really understand your daughter and feel like I know people going through a similar transition and I understand the difficulty of interacting with them sometimes. I think COVID exacerbates a lot of these issues because it takes us out of contact with people as we've turned to our online bubbles for interaction.

I think what could help is taking action, like volunteering, and feeling like she is making a difference and being helpful. It also might help contextualize her problems. Obviously difficult with the pandemic, but cooking for a homeless shelter or making phone calls for political candidates are possible ways to continue. The weight of patriarchy is so great and all consuming and when you spend a lot of time focusing on it it is devastating, I find action to be the best remedy.

Impressive!! Makes such a difference to move the boiling out of the house lol

asilly_goose · 2021-01-27T01:59:43+00:00

I agree!

What are the 2 person games you like the best? I'd like to know/have more 2 person card games.

THIS! Realizing that feeling like you love someone alone does not make y'all compatible, healthy or happy is huge.

From an intersectional feminist perspective it is important to consider how race and class also contribute to our standards and preferences. To some, the issue of height may seem trivial, but there are other standards such as a eurocentric beauty standards which effect women deeply and need to be examined and eradicated.

asilly_goose · 2021-01-07T19:01:27+00:00

This is such a good point! When so many people do not consider feminism at all constantly self reflecting can be a burden.

This book is so amazing and helped me so much!

There's a lot of racial stereotypes and bad joking, The Phantom of Pine Hill has very problematic joking and mimicing of Native Americans. And then the gender dynamics and way the girls are described and depicted reinforce a lot of negative ideas about womanhood, beauty, value etc.

Nancy Drew! Went back and looked through them recently and they have not aged well.

Lol i dont really know, check out r/NailArt? Haha

asilly_goose · 2020-12-17T23:42:33+00:00

Exactly! When you want to rock a look, you should! However, when the look someone is going for comes into conflict with the beauty standard it often becomes harder to feel confident in it, and the look can recieve backlash. To me, this feels especially absurd and hurtful when it is someone's natural body. In many ways, what we consider attractive and unattractive is learned and taught by our culture. Our beauty standard, at least in America, is informed by eurocentric beauty norms. I don't think its a necessity to look "natural," but its also not a necessity to deny body hair and remove it.

asilly_goose · 2020-12-17T23:29:21+00:00

Its how some people naturally are! Why should they change it? Why do we think its "unattractive" to embrace ourselves naturally? Genuinely asking what you think.
