I honestly would probably reblog more male positivity posts if they didn’t all sound like “but women get a thing!! I want the thing too, give me the thing!”
Like, if you have to end a posts with “men need positivity too”, “women aren’t the only ones who need help” then that’s just a 100% reason for me not to reblog.
Because those posts aren’t meant for positivity, they are a dig at people who prioritise focusing on women’s oppression in a patriarchal world, and they are meant to remind women that they aren’t allowed to have something for themselves without men putting their rules on it.

#HispanicGirlsUnited Keep it going
Reblogging this for all my hispanic women out there
… is it necessary to make me feel ashamed to be white? Really?
How is anyone trying to make you feel ashamed for being white? No ones trying to guilt you, lmfao. If you feel shame in any way then maybe that’s an issue you need to work out because apparently you feel insecure and threatened when other girls are trying to celebrate and appreciate their culture that is constantly looked down upon and discriminated against.
“I feel uncomfortable when anything empowering isn’t about me” - you
Take a seat in the nosebleeds, @vividnothing ✋🏾 this is NOT about you. Shout out to Hispanic girls for being fantastic!
Dude, if you think these kind of posts are designed to make you “feel ashamed to be white” then you are seriously missing the point. I was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by amazing, smart, talented and beautiful Hispanic girls and women-and unfortunately, also saw firsthand how they were mistreated by a lot of my fellow white people. I actively try not to be racist but I still catch myself internalizing racist sentiments and having to combat them, and you know what the best way to do that is? Reading hashtags like this, listening to the stories Hispanic women have to tell, and examining my own behavior and assumptions.
I love how at the end of a super powerful social media campaign, there is a white person tainting it with their White Supremacy and White Guilt. C’mon now.

On Thursday August 14th, 2014, Feminsta Jones called for a National Moment of Silence (NMOS) to pay ‘respect to fatal victims of police shootings and brutality’. New Orleans, a (for now…) majority black city with a long history of police violence…

Off to a Farewell party for Murads boss of Focus St Louis at Botanical Gardens. Though it was two blocks it was not such a good idea walking in the rain with one small umbrella… Both ended up Half Dry.
