Haha, Yay! Confidence booster! I used to tutor a deaf student and I was constantly questioning my own grammar.

“ One thing that can be very alienating about a misconception of feminism is that girls then think that to be feminists they have to live up to being perfectly consistent in their beliefs, never being insecure, never having doubts, having all the answers… and this is not true and actually recognizing all the contradictions I was feeling became easier once I realized that feminism was not a rulebook but a discussion, a conversation, a process.

Amen.

Sad White Babies With Mean Feminist Mommies

The Atlantic is reviving the tired feminist-baiting question “can women have it all.” Le sigh. In celebration of this backlashtastic event, I’ve compiled some of my favorite images that are often the art in these kinds of articles: The mean/frazzled/distracted working white mom (because WOC don’t exist in this narrative) who has been fooled into thinking she can have it all by feminism. Good times.

Note: I haven’t read the piece (it’s not out yet) and for all I know is a scorchingly awesome piece of feminist writing. But the headline/art/cover is just too awful and (knowingly) plays into the anti-feminist cliche the search for work/life balance is greedily trying to have “it all.”

and lets not forget that there are mothers who actually have to work because that income is what feeds them & their children. Every mother in the workplace isn’t doing it “for funsies.” or are we just outright saying that white middle-upper class white collar professionals are the only people that matter? cause the sexism, racism & classism in this trope is getting old.

Oh, of course, because it’s 100% mommy’s responsibility to raise the children AND manage her career. Goddamn.

This is how my day seems to be going.
