Unpopular opinion: I don't wanna be called strong for going through cramps every month.
I want solutions. Solutions for PCOD/PCOS, solutions for endometriosis, solutions for labour pain during childbirth, solutions for period cramps.
Women's pain is way too normalized for God knows what reason.
Kawawa na naman ang commuting public na gusto lang naman pumasok sa trabaho at lumaban ng patas.
Lahat ng ito para lang protektahan ang isang taong may kinakaharap na kasong pandarambong.
It’s very funny how a woman’s body can grow an entire human, push that human out, lose blo0d, shift organs around, heal from tearing and keep a baby alive with milk. But somehow people will still judge you for having stretch marks or a body that doesn’t look 19 anymore.
HOT TAKE: women's body scream “have a baby” every month and we still manage self-control. But men, 5 mins of temptation and suddenly biology's to blame.
Eu percebi que ninguém, nem mesmo minha mãe ou amigos mais próximos, sabe como eu sou de verdade dentro da minha cabeça, e a única pessoa que realmente sabe quem eu sou sou eu
This man murdered his pregnant wife then strangled both his daughters and threw them in a water tank. This is the picture they use when they speak about him. Privilege is really wild to me.
Children cannot consent. Period.
A 13-year-old boy who had sex with a 25-year-old woman was not “lucky.” He was sexually abused.
A 12-year-old girl in a short skirt did not seduce a grown man. A grown man chose to sexually abuse a child.
My coworker used to take the long way home every ďamn night. Two extra bus stops, more walking, more money, more time. One day I asked her why she didn’t just take the shortcut alley behind our building.
She laughed and said, “Oh, because a guy followed me there once and told me he could ‘do whatever he wanted’ and no one would hear me scream.”
So now, every night, she calls a male friend and pretends she’s on the phone with her “boyfriend.” Sometimes she even laughs loudly and says things like, “Yeah, I’ll see you in five minutes, babe,” even when she’s completely alone.
Not because she wants attention.
Not because she’s dramatic.
Because sounding “taken” and “protected” is safer than sounding like a woman by herself.
Men cannot even begin to understand the calculations women make every day just to get home alive.
