re: the notion and theory that sex AND gender are social constructions. it just seems like a linguistic fuck up to me.... sex is only socially constructed in that society constructed ideas about what each sex should do, be, like, hate in every corner of life. so we made a word to describe the things that are socially constructed for the sexes. it was "gender". /but social theory just absolutely HAS to "progress" so/

Bluestockings lit mag submissions literally say: "They do not publish pieces that perpetuate racism, colonialism, ableism, transmisogyny, and so on. Submissions should have an intersectional framework and center people with marginalized identities." sexism is not listed, and how can i center marginalized identities beyond my own in a fucking personal narrative? its my creative writing!!! its not fiction!!! i cant center people who arent me

the only mag with an open call that i could submit to says it wants women "writing beyond the patriarchy" and doesnt want "performances of suffering" so my essay is basically shot down. thanks. dk what the fuck beyond the patriarchy means.

@fpcgggc @LadyMont i think abortion separated from other feminist issues is where it gets dicey. like abortion when we're also fighting for better infrastructure for women's financial autonomy would probably go over a lot better. we basically can't accept JUST abortion without fighting all the other factors that inhibit women's autonomy. if they can't just as easily choose to have a child and give that child a good life, then they still dont have full autonomy. thats my half baked thought as the child of a mother who was convinced abortion was a sin when she was a young woman.

@Justwanttobreathe @22lemons @RockTheBoat i will say. saying blm is "bad" and saying it is a "terrorist organization" are not necessarily equal in my mind. there is definitely things to be criticized but "terrorist org" just isnt it
