Hell Yeah Feminism

“ I absolutely reject the premise there is anything wrong with Black people “talking white”. It is as if to vast swathes of the privileged white left and impoverished Black community diction, education and a mastery of though is somehow “white”… comrade, how wrong you are to say that after decades in academia I’m acting white. I’m being black. I’m being black everyday a cop pulls my car over for a “routine stop”, I’m being black each time I look in the mirror, and I’m damn well being black when I school young fools out of the myth our race is too ill-evolved to be both black and accomplished. ”

Elaine Brown, Secretary of the Black Panther Party, professor of sociology.  (via ifury)

Exactly. There is no such thing as “acting white.” Blackness is its own fucking entity that is rich and multifaceted.

This blog is about the endeavors of women. I feel there is a growing need for activism in the current political climate. I will showcase: LBGT rights, body positive imagery, pro-choice, birth control, reproductive rights, safe sex, sex positive, media literacy, news about women worldwide, gender roles, women throughout history and current badasses, feminist literature, and other general women's issues. And of course, what you can do to fight the good fight.
