Anti-Flag - Feminism Is For Everybody
[Verse 1]
“man hating, job stealing, god defying lesbians”
there is no truth to your fucking ignorance
so fuck the kings men
we’re all the peoples feminists
we won’t put your patriarchal systems back together again
[Chorus]
this is what a feminist looks like
this is what a feminist sounds like
[Verse 2]
so you sit back counting all your pain staking loses
you grovel, your as backwards as the thoughts in your head..
[Chorus]
this is what a feminist looks like
this is what a feminist sounds like
[Bridge]
refuse to be a victim of this gender warfare
don’t even get us started on assholes
who still think it’s ok to call
inanimate objects gay
and are quick to call you a fag…
homophobes FUCK OFF!!!!!
Favourite Feminist Moments in Doctor Who - #5 Bones of the Hand
Submitted by Sarah531
Martha Jones suffered appallingly during her time in the TARDIS. Amongst other things, she has to spend a significant amount of time in a world that openly despised and dismissed her on the basis of her gender and skin colour. During this time her best friend in the world, The Doctor, treats her, at best, like an obnoxious child.
The frustration and anger Martha felt during those months must have been bloody unbearable. But she is Martha, and she is wonderful, and she refuses to let the situation beat her down, even when almost everyone around her tells her to be quiet, she is defiant. She still speaks.
This is best illustrated when Joan, like everyone else around her, dismisses Martha’s achievements.
Women might train to be doctors, but hardly a skivvy and hardly one of your colour.
You can see in Martha’s eyes the anger and frustration which have been bubbling away for months, boil over. She promptly turns the tables on Joan, demonstrating her knowledge (which almost certainly exceeds Joan’s own) by naming all the bones of the hand.
Women of colour have very different experiences of oppression than that of their more privileged counterparts and, I like to think, this scene demonstrates that well. The experiences of women of colour should not be ignored or glossed over, as they all too often are in mainstream feminism. This scene reminds us feminists who have privilege to never write off the experiences of those who are oppressed in ways we are not. As well as showing Martha in full on BAMF mode.
Martha was just fantastic. And what a good scene.
“Michelle, stop being so hard on yourself. Your body is beautiful; the 30 pound weight gain made us huge and spectacular! Just go with it!”
Reblog and share, what would your boobs say?
I’m a HUGE Adventure Time fan. Someone claimed, while looking at this picture, that it was sexist. Natasha Allegri, the artist, responds, saying that her intent was not sexism. What do you think?
I love the art and the style and the costumes of this picture but I really resent the way the female characters are posed as opposed to the male characters. Fiona, PB and Marceline are all posed in ways to show off the arch in their backs, their hips and breasts (and Marceline’s thigh), and the Fire Prince is just sitting in profile while the Princess is facing the viewer with more demure expression turned to the viewer. In fact, the expression on all of their faces are a bit gender segregated too. Finn is facing the side and Fiona is facing the viewer, Prince Bubblegum and Marshal Lee are facing each other and it looks like they’re talking whereas Princess Fiona and Marecline aren’t even looking at each other (well, their breasts are) and it appears Princess Bublegum is even blushing for some reason?
This is really sad. The art is so amazing but it’s just really hard to appreciate it.
I usually don’t reblog stuff like this, but I really want to point out some shit. I’m not the best at typing my thoughts… so i’m gonna number off some things i guess… instead… I really don’t want anyone to resent this picture, i feel like maybe if i explain some stuff… you’ll resent it less? maybe? you don’t have to appreciate the drawing, but maybe you’ll find different reasons to resent it… other than the ones you listed…
1. a few of the dudes are ALSO arching their backs. one of the girls is not. the reason i kinda posed the girls like this was to attach visible bows to them, so i could put the ribbon trails everywhere. I could have probably posed the dudes in the same exact way, but that would make me feel lazy, and the drawing would be maybe kinda boring.
2. they’re not “showing off their breasts”. they just… kinda have them. i don’t know, should i have posed them like… back view or something?
3. I drew marceline’s leg because i wanted to show that her tights were the same ones from the henchman episode. also wanted to put more red in the composition with the boots.
4. your profile verses 3/4 face statement… i wanted fionna and cake to be looking at each other, i wanted finn to be looking away while jake was sneaking treats from gumball… I don’t really understand the problem with this… i’m probably just an idiot. I always feel a more “demure” look is when someone is facing away from the viewer, but who knows.
5. Gumball and Marshall Lee are interacting because gumball engineered up some red fruits (red lemons, red peaches, red bananas) for him to eat.
6. pb and marceline aren’t looking at each other because marceline is looking at fire princess who is looking at marcy’s ghost buds (who are blocking marceline from the firelight… but i guess that doesn’t make sense… can ghostly figures block out light? shit… shit!)
7. PB is blushing because whatever is in her beaker is emitting gas and that’s just kinda embarrassing
8. huh…. i guess their boobs are kinda pointing at each other… i didn’t notice that. you’ve got a dirty, dirty mind ;V
I don’t hate ladies. I mean, I AM a lady. kinda. I’m like… haha i’m eating pizza and typing and getting pizza sauce all over my keyboard… maybe i’m not even human
WHAAAAAAT???? This is the first I’m hearing of this….
They’re disgusting, even if it is ‘just a joke’
My male friends (beloved as they are) get this way too. And I don’t know what’s worse: calling them out on it, or staying silent
So now that I’m done with my first year of college, I’m determined to use my free time (or part of it) to read up on feminist writings, namely some bell hooks, some Virginia Woolf, etc. I’m a highlighter-reader, so when I find passages particularly highlight worthy, I’ll post them here on Hawpskotch! Grrrls, you rock so much, and thanks for making this zine the success that it is. Here’s to an amazing summer!
Also, keep MikeD, AdRock and Kathleen Hanna in your hearts, minds, and prayers guys. RIP MCA, Beastie Boys Forever.
