you don't look like a feminist

About the author

Heel to toe, now

Well well. Welcome to ma revue. This is a blog run by a female identified human type person. I'm using this space to talk about gender studies, sex and sexuality, pronouns, orientations, erasure. The gender gap and the gender binary. The glass ceiling. The flood in the basement. Feminism, feminists, and the F-word. Women's rights and LGBT*QAI / GSM rights. Appropriation and oppression and cultural assimilation. Politics. I'm talking about mental health. I’m trying to call myself on my own bullshit and privilege. I'm thinking about how I can exist in the best way possible in a society where I feel oppressed both because of my gender and my sexuality. I want to be a professional queer and a freelance amante and a woman and an activist and so far I have managed to combine all these things in such a fashion as to generate zero income.

Here we go then.

Ask it all! Send it in!

diashoni said: Should I be surprised that the number of “I don’t understand why it’s a big deal” and “This is such a silly debate” posts. Not to mention all the White women who are complaining because the nude offered doesn’t match them precisely.
