literally i do not think i have ever read a male character say “no” of his own account and not out of some misguided sense of duty or responsibility towards the other party

women never know what they want and set too many boundaries but men must always respect them, even when they are ill-advised and the women later change their minds; it's very important to demonstrate this

men on the other hand never need to set boundaries; why would they, women should get to press and tease them as much as they like

i am a straight girl writing fanfiction and this is what i believe

when will straight girls stop writing fantasies where they can set boundaries and start setting boundaries in real life

i want to write fiction that people like but i also want to let women be little shits and i feel like these interests are Frequently in conflict

can i write zelda as a sassy adult woman who says fuck without alienating my audience of white christian moms and mom wannabes

oh i have online access through work maybe i’ll take a look myself

anybody read this book? https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/side-affects

« Some have argued that the term cultural feminism is invalid because those labeled as such never identified as cultural feminists; instead they identified as radical feminists. I have sympathy for this position, but it is worth noting that liberal feminists did not typically identify themselves as liberal feminists yet no one has suggested we stop calling them by that term. »

« “Male-identified” would soon enough be the charge that some cultural feminists would direct at transgender people. » lmao

« That said, most histories of mass social movements are declension narratives because movements do come to an end. »

love this author for using the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival as its first big example of “cultural feminism”

« I hope that students of all these movements will come to understand that history requires taking seriously the very pastness of the past. »

thankfully all macs have MUCH BETTER OCR built·in these days

oh my god this pdf has uncorrected OCR

i considered saving $7 and getting a book on the Kobo but it is worth $7 to be able to easily bookmark and flip back and forth between pages lol
