How fucking stupid and circular are 3rd wave slogans? “Sex work is work”, “trans women are women”. You’re actually not proving anything or making any kind of logically supported argument. You’re asserting a personal belief only.

But if you repeat them 5-10 times in all different type faces and font sizes, that automatically makes them super-deep and true, not to mention really convincing!!

Look, I’m a big fan of women’s overalls, I think they’re a cute look… but skin-tight overalls seem. Antithetical. To the nature of overalls.

One of my biggest pet peeves in women’s fashion is “aping functionality”. Clothing designed to resemble actual, functional workwear, but actually being flimsy garbage that instantly vaporizes under any pressure. Cargo pants with pockets that don’t fit anything? Overalls that are hyper-constrictive, skintight, and thin? Work boots that offer no support? Why?! It makes it so much harder to find genuine functional clothing.

buy it from the men’s section for christs sakes then!

i swear to god I know people that will learn everything from changing oil to applying makeup to computer construction/ repair via youtube but apparently there isn’t a single damn DIY video on tailoring techniques.

not that hard to sew a button, hem some pants

I buy virtually all of my clothing from the men’s section, and you know what? It’s not that easy! I have a short list of brands and styles that even kind of fit me. Many brands don’t even offer men’s clothing in “small”, let alone “extra small”, and even when work clothing is offered in boys’ sizes, it’s generally pre-tailored for very slim, straight bodies. Tailoring oversized men’s clothing to fit you takes more than sewing on a button or hemming some pants, unless you want to look like you’re wearing a literal clown costume or zoot suit. I know how to sew, and I have the good fortune to have access to a decent sewing machine that can handle tough fabrics, but tailoring heavy-duty men’s clothing to fit me in ways that are both comfortable and don’t make me look like a Victorian waif takes a great deal of skill.

And tell me, how does one tailor a man’s boot to fit you?

I see that you reblog “MRA stuff“, but I fail to see how “hey, it would be nice if more women’s clothing were actually functional” impedes upon men’s rights in any conceivable way. 

Do you know how fucking hard it is to dress in men’s clothes when you’re 5′1″ and incredibly petite? Even a men’s small is like a women’s large on me. I’ll never be able to find men’s pants or shoes that fit me. Women’s solution to companies not valuing our need for practical and durable clothing shouldn’t be to just go to men’s sections where companies actually care about quality and functionality. It should be for us to have our own things that fit our unique bodies and unique needs.

Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (aka Posie Parker) spending £700 on a billboard intended to denounce trans women as women instead of actually putting it towards helping women is the height of white feminism

billboard: literally just states the dictionary definition of “woman”

y’all: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TRANSMISOGYNISTIC BULLSHIT

it definitely is helping women. her point was to prove that people see the definition of women as offensive, that we can’t even simply define ourselves without someone (rather fittingly a white man) throwing a fit and getting it censored, which is exactly what happened 🙂
