yup!, and i don't have school on fridays'

and you probably shouldn't use it in front of people cause it's offensive...
Why is your school teaching you curse words btw?"
don't say it!, it's very offensive!
and it cause they're trying to teach us why we shouldn't say the word

And why? I mean, you should always be a feminist, but why 'right now'?

just think about gender reveals for unborn babies. if it's a girl, people pop balloons filled with pink confetti or eat cupcakes with pink frosting while for boys everything is blue

ughhhh i know.
Also, what if the baby ends up being transgender?
What if they end up being nonbinary?

But the worst of them all is "that's what little girls and boys made of" song. It's so full of prejudice and stereotypes and is the most biased song I've ever heard


books are heavy, lol!

there teaching us why not to use them. . . but technically there still teaching us them

I KNOW
okay, I have a feminist rant (sort of related to this):
So basically at my school, my ( and my friends) gym teacher is sexist. These are some of the things he did:
- He always picks cisgender males as team captains
-He calls the female students in our class 'the girls' as if we do not have names
-cisgender male students are constantly being rude to female and nonbinary students, the teacher never does anything about this(my friend who is in another class but has the same teacher said that she had a similar experience)
there are more examples of his sexism
My friends and I wrote a letter to the principal about it. She said that she would deal with it over the summer, so idk what she is gonna do :/

exactly!

oh god, that sounds awful! i really hope your principal will do something against this...

I hope 😭😭

i have played the piano for almost 8 years and we had a little concert. not big, only like the 6 people my teacher has on that day. afterwards, we are stacking the chairs we used. i am about to stack a 4th one on my 3 chairs that i'm carrying already and this 12 or 13 year old boy comes up to me (mind you, i am 17!) and is like, hey, should i carry it? and i was just THANKS, but i can manage.
i know he meant no harm and only wanted to help but it's still baffling that a 12 year old boy thinks he can/should carry more than a 17 year old girl

boys are told from young age that it's proper manners to not let a women or girl carry anything. it's terrible. there used to be a point in my life where I was told not to do push ups, cause it made me muscular, and apparently girls are not supposed to have muscles

lmaoooo same

this is such an illogical concept. also, why shouldn't women have muscles? this nicely connects to beauty standards for women - slim and toned but never strong or muscular...

Yaaas 🥳

Yessss

And one day when we beat them in a game of kho kho they shut their mouths🥳

You should see their expressions whenever I beat them in a running race. Their mouths are almost as big as their egos

we got so mad, we ranted about it in our group chat. I'm still mad about it tbh. I used to really like that teacher but not anymor.

its not minor... its one thing when a man doesn't support the cause but its another thing when a woman doesn't. It hurts when whom you look up to tears you down
whats going on? what did i miss?
