“Look how your children grow up. Taught from their earliest infancy to curb their...”
– Voltairine de Cleyre (via petitefeministe) The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.

mindyradabaugh: My name is Mindy Radabaugh, and I am a 22 year old college student from Ottawa, Ohio. A few years ago, I was a believer that abortion was wrong. I was always taught that abortion was something horrible.

Feminist: The Label
iamateenagefeminist: I’ve noticed that when I am not in a progressive atmosphere (or even sometimes when I am) and I label myself as a “feminist”, I almost always lose all of my credibility.  I am no longer an educated young adult, I am a “crazy feminist”. People stop taking me seriously. Everything I say from that point on is devalued because I’m a “feminist”. It’s gotten to the point where I...
