“Just eat whole foods. Avoid anything in a package. Eat more fruits and vegetables.”
No shit, Sherlock. Most of us would benefit from eating more fruits and veggies. But advice like this skips the most important question: who is actually doing the work?
Who is planning the meals?
Who is grocery shopping, often multiple times a week because produce spoils?
Who is budgeting for foods that cost more and don’t last as long?
Who is washing, chopping, cooking, packing, and cleaning,
on top of paid work, childcare, caregiving, and everything else?
Because a raw bell pepper isn’t a meal.
“Just eat better” ignores the very real time, cost, access, skills, and invisible labor required to make that happen. And let’s be honest, this labor disproportionately falls on women.
Nutrition advice that ignores mental load, time scarcity, food environments, and gendered labor isn’t just unhelpful. It’s lazy.
Health isn’t just about what you eat. It’s also about who is expected to make it happen.
Men commit 99% of all rapes. 90% of adult rape victims are women, and 82% of molested children are girls. There is no such thing as a woman who is too old to get raped, or a girl who is too young; I’ve seen victims as young as 3 months old, and as old as 89. Only 3% of accused rapists get convicted, and 94% of them won’t even spend so much as a single day behind bars, making rape the easiest felony to get away with.
If you want women to stop being afraid of men, stop giving us so many reasons to fear you.

No other liberation movement except feminism is asked to “include” the oppressor class in its activism. Ask yourself why that is and what it says about how deep patriarchy goes.

Men get drunk, wreck property, assault one another, assault women, and it's just another night out. Women meet to discuss women's rights and it's actual violence.
I dreamt that I was in bed with @rickygervais (Eric and Ernie style) talking about whether he wanted boobs or not. He couldn't decide. Oh, and there was a pug between us. Should I be worried?
