Reverse the reversal of ROE V WADE. Give women control over their bodies again.
learn about menstruation and accept that there might be women stronger than men.
yes istg men need to learn about periods, if i hear one more stupid idea or "ew thats gross" i will smack you and mail a vial of my uterine lining to your house for eternity
Stop using the term “gets no b-tches”. Uh, if you use that term the so-called “b-tches” don’t want you either
i am both the so called b*tches and the one who "gets" the so-called b*tches and this is absolutely right
Use y'all's male privilege to start protesting against sexist laws and regulations, especially the whole 72 cents on the dollar thing! Do that all year round even! Bonus tip: If you have female friends, you will earn their undying respect if you have snacks, period products, or chapstick on hand.
I don't like women's history. There are shirts in the girls' section that say "Girl Power" but if there was one for boys that said "Boy Power" it would be considered misogynistic. If there was a men's history month nobody would participate. As a woman, I believe that "women's history month" is just ridiculous. If you still want to celebrate, that's your choice. You can try and notice subtle or implicit misogyny and call it out. Also most women will adore you if you give them chocolate.
Out of curiosity, do you not like Black History Month either? They're similar in purpose, and your point about the shirts applies to it as well. I agree with the part about chocolate, if someone gives me a Hershey's bar I will pledge my undying loyalty.
Yeah but we all know about men's history it's the history we all learnt in school. There are many women in history that got no credit for the things they did because men erased it. We need to celebrate these women. And I'm pretty sure t- shirts don't have anything what so ever to do with history, that is more of a current affair and should probably be brought up with the shop selling them..
in the saying girl power, the word girl annoys the most. Where there is female power, where there is lady power. The word girl is not used for grown strong women and the girl boss almost makes me want to puke. This doesn't feel right unless there is an equivalent like baby boy power. Child man energy! chocolate is nice, but not a mandatory bonus, especially during menstruation, maybe a little generalization, but chocolate contains substances that make you feel better. Sorry for my English, I try to learn and is it hard to express it.
Oh, and in history, no groups other than the subjugated have earned their own holidays, as if that would compensate for anything. In my own country, the Sámi are somewhat in this position. Just a flag day, what does it help. And personally, I had to learn about Sámi culture on my own, not through school.
Load More Replies...You've provided an example of why you need to learn more of Women's history. If your entire knowledge of women's history consists of the impact of the Spice Girls era, I think you need this.
Having my boyfriend acknowledge that women actually don't 'have it easier' than white, straight, old men would be a nice start...
Nothing. I don't need praise or services provided to me on the basis of a biological feature I did not choose
This doesn't really answer the question, but I want to vent. I watched the very impactful, well made movie She Said and was proud that there are people fighting back against people who sexually abuse people. Then the next movie I watch has a guy who forces his way into a woman’s home after being told to go away. She ends up sleeping with him and having a relationship! This is why people feel like they can treat others like this, and get away with it, because the media shows them being rewarded! I watched another movie after that where the guy literally abducted the girl, and she then forgives him and marries him! These were old movies but people still watch them, so it would be no surprise if they influenced people. The casual way these things come up in the media is the most maddening part because it’s like saying they are just accepted fact!
