You can hate children all you want I don’t really care but if it becomes a central tenant of your feminist discourse then you are useless as a feminist….women are the primary if not exclusive caretakers of children everywhere on earth and it leaves them vulnerable to spousal abuse and poverty. Advocacy for women and children can’t be separated because children rely on their mothers and most mothers will not leave their children that they love and are bonded to behind to better their lives. When you alienate mothers from feminism you alienate the most vulnerable women on the planet from contributing to conversations about their own oppression and the solutions to their problems
Everyone treats violence against women like a practice round or some shit. “Oh, well he only hits his girlfriend, he’s not dangerous, he doesn’t need to be treated any differently” and then he goes on to be violent towards men or decides to shoot up a damn building of people and people are like “wow I had no idea he was like that, we should do something”
Violence against women is violence. It counts. Hold them accountable for fuck’s sake
This last gif is actually really cool when you consider that Kuvira bent the meteor rock (the ferrous fluid) as if it were just a soft metal – while Korra is bending it like water because she’s trained in water bending and knows how to do that. In the words of Guru Pathik: “If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one. Four parts of the same whole.” To the Avatar, why can’t rock be water?
