It is no accident that white masculinity is constructed the way it is in the United States, as European invasion of the Americas required a masculinity that murders, rapes, and enslaves Native and African peoples. It is a masculinity that requires men to be soldiers and conquerors in every aspect of their lives. A masculinity rooted in genocide breeds a culture of sexual abuse.

Yeah, I’ll say it - this universal call to action for women of the world to “love themselves” is overrated.

Strive for self contentment, be kind to yourself, be critical of media, remain vigilant in seeking empowerment and positivity when you can, form a relationship with your body, live well by your own standards, and by all means - love yourself, if that is within your grasp.

But if you can not find self love, for whatever reason and however long, know that you are not part of the problem. 

You have been affected.

Unlearning the hate is hard work, but once we learn how to dismantle the inner-workings of a society and culture that permeates and surrounds our very existence, we can stand a chance of knocking it down.

In the meantime, don’t force it - stop blaming yourself for not “loving your body” enough.

You can not possibly be at fault, when the oppressive culture we live in is the main offender.

What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter? What if women were the ones who started wars? What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly? What if the state trooper who pulled you over on the New Jersey Turnpike was a woman and carried a gun? What if the ability to menstruate was the prerequisite for most high-paying jobs? What if your attractiveness to women depended on the size of your penis? What if every time women saw you they’d hoot and make jerking motions with their hands? What if women were always making jokes about how ugly penises are and how bad sperm tastes? What if you had to explain what’s wrong with your car to big sweaty women with greasy hands who stared at your crotch in a garage where you are surrounded by posters of naked men with hard-ons? What if men’s magazines featured cover photos of 14-year-old boys with socks tucked into the front of their jeans and articles like: “How to tell if your wife is unfaithful” or “What your doctor won’t tell you about your prostate” or “The truth about impotence”? What if the doctor who examined your prostate was a woman and called you “Honey”? What if you had to inhale your boss’ stale cigar breath as she insisted that sleeping with her was part of the job? What if you couldn’t get away because the company dress code required you wear shoes designed to keep you from running? And what if after all that women still wanted you to love them?

This is funny, but that MIT be because of how sadly accurate this is. I see that same on men every time I walk on the sidewalk… anywhere.

When did abortion become something to be proud of, to celebrate, and to venerate with symbolism?

It’s not about pride - it’s about erasing the negative stigma around having an abortion. 1 in 3 women* will have an abortion - it’s okay to speak up about it!

^^ Yes. There’s nothing wrong with being proud about your abortion. Whether you shout it from the roof tops are never tell anyone it’s your story, you shouldn’t feel shamed by stigma.

^^^ yes! It is not ABOUT pride, it is about telling the world there is nothing to be ashamed of. It is telling the world you can feel however you damn well please! 1 in 3 women. Yet how many do you know who are public about it? Women are afraid to speak, and that needs to change.

Honestly I think these women should be proud. They made a difficult choice and are standing beside it and they more then deserve to feel proud of it. Speaking out about having abortion is hard and in some cases dangerous and can cost you a lot.

Anonymous asked: Just wanted to send a note re. adoption in case there are any wankers who insist that if you have an unwanted pregnancy you should just give the baby up for adoption. The adoption system in North America is really corrupt. My parents tried to adopt for ten years and were shut down by agency after agency because they weren't Christian, white, rich or young. Sadly, adoption is often another one of those "cares about birth, not life" (not always, mind you). Fab blog!
