women arent allowed to lament how the patriarchy has historically erased the names of women without some fuckass missing the point, showing contempt for women, and centering themselves. of course roe over here kept doubling down in the replies, acting as if changing your last name will suddenly restore the lost identities of our ancestral women.
trans identified males stop comparing the atrocities experienced by women of color during slavery and jim crow to you not being able to pee in the women’s restroom challenge (impossible)
when sexism is used against one woman, it is used against all women. the argument that “some women deserve it” really means “men in power should get to decide which women are well behaved enough to be considered human”
Just found out that women have to borrow more to pay for college, and then take longer to pay back their loans. Parents save more money for their sons, because of the breadwinner gender role. Colleges avoid taking too many girls into their classes and give boys’ applications a second look. Once in college, girls are more likely to send money back to their parents to help support them (the same parents who saved less for their college education, because sons are the breadwinners…). Lots of female dominated professions like nursing require degrees, but any field with ‘too many women’ pays less. Once they’re in the field, even if it is male-dominated, women are again paid less than their male counterparts (women are more likely to be penalized for asking for raises etc, and more likely to be overlooked for promotions). If they become mothers, that sets them back even further.
But men still complain that there are special scholarships for women. Lol.
