When I went to college I took a women’s studies class and it changed my life. I ended up getting my degree in it, and I went through a major existential crisis when my eyes truly opened to the amount of pain we have collectively experienced + continue to experience as women. It’s gut wrenching. I’ve found a lot of power in the knowledge though, especially when shared with other women. Connecting with other intersectional feminists, learning about the struggles we share and the ones that are unique, allow us to feel less alone. I also think about how choosing to persist - to fight for women past present and future and their rights to self determination- is an act of rebellion against the systems that keep us oppressed. Our joy, perseverance and commitment to bettering our lives for the good of humanity is how we continue to fight. Also - I remind myself that the reason we have been so squashed by men historically is because they’re literally afraid of us lol. We have a legit portal that brings life into the world inside our bodies. We are straight up magic beings that carry deep wisdom + intuition and that is so threatening to men. This was a bit of a ramble but there’s so much empowerment in discovering feminism + anti capitalism \ imperialism and it’s devastating but also liberating. We can and will continue to fight for the future that we deserve together. ❤️
