C: Can we talk about how feminism is more easily digested if it’s coming from conventionally attractive, light skinned/racially ambiguous women? The rest of us are “bitter, nappy headed bitches.” I can never really talk about colorism in any capacity without lighter skinned folks feeling a way and preaching that “we’re all black” shit. Yes, we are all black. But your “black” and my “black” are treated very differently because of your perceived proximity to whiteness and my obvious distance from it.

Keep ya head up bro, just cause one woman don’t appreciate your body type, size or what you packing don’t mean shit. If you believe in God or a higher power, thank them for how you were wonderfully made and if you don’t believe in a higher power, thank your parents your looks. Either way fam, love yourself unconditionally and fuck what people have to say about your stomach, chest, or dick size.

men’s loyalty to violence is disturbing.  when women want a life free of abuse, assault, threat, & coercion, men’s first suggestion is “learn to fight back. learn to defend yourself”.  i don’t want my life to be a fight.  i don’t want to “prove myself” through inflicting pain & fear. 
i don’t find violence and physical conflict fulfilling or self-actualising.  

they’re exhausting & dehumanizing

And it’s leaves the sick and disable without any help whatsoever, if the focus is always on fighting back

point stands but op is a terf

On the morning of President Trump’s inauguration, police trapped and arrested more than 230 people. Some were anti-Trump demonstrators; some were not. The next day, federal prosecutors charged them all with “felony rioting”, a nonexistent crime in Washington DC. The prosecution then launched a sweeping investigation into the defendants’ lives, demanding vast amounts of online information through secret warrants.

Prosecutors eventually dropped a few defendants, like journalists and legal observers, but simultaneously increased the charges against everyone else. The most recent indictment collectively charged more than 200 people with felony rioting, felony incitement to riot, conspiracy to riot, and five property-damage crimes – all from broken windows. 

Each defendant is facing over 60 years in prison.

The prosecution next obtained warrants focused on anti-Trump organizers. One sought a list of all visitors to a website that organizers used to promote Inauguration Day protests. A second sought information on all Facebook friends and related communications of two organizers, the host of a coalition Facebook page, and those who simply “liked” that page.
