Blunt Feminist Statements

- Solidarity amongst women is one of the most beautiful things.

- Apparently no one ever thinks of the boys. (...sarcasm)

- White women need to shut up sometimes.

- Using racism "ironically" in a joke is a poor excuse to cover inherent bigotry.

- Body hair is as beautiful as you want it to be.

- The impact of slavery in the US continues to shape modern society.

- For a lot of people, speaking up about intersectional feminism is not "just a social justice thing", it's an attempt to prevent their lives from being subject to oppression.

- Reverse racism doesn't exist. Neither does reverse sexism. Ever.

- Respecting people's preferred pronouns does not make you Queen of Acceptance, it makes you an averagely decent person. A pat on the back isn't necessary for showing everyday respect.

- Menstrual blood is not gross.

-  A hijab does not automatically mean a poor oppressed damsel in distress.

- Women do not need a man to complete their lives. Or babies.
