Being a feminist means also loving and taking care of shy girls. Fuck the idea that ‘strong’ girls are the only girls worth respect. I want to see more posts for the shy girls, the quiet girls, the girls with anxiety, the girls who feel their limbs seizing up find it difficult to breath as soon as they are confronted. You are beautiful princesses and just as important as any loud, ‘strong’ girl.

Here’s a slam poetry piece I performed two months ago at Tsunami Books in Eugene, OR entitled “Sorry, I’m Not Sorry.” I want to dedicate this to all my friends in recovery–whether it’s from an eating disorder, addiction, mental illness, or being a stubborn asshole (if you figure out the treatment for that, let me know). Also, a huge s/o to smartgirlsattheparty because a) Amy Poehler is the shit and the only thing she believes to be superior is waffles to pancakes. b) I’d like to say “Yes Please” to all self-identified women reclaiming their voices by “being themselves.” c) I don’t know, I just feel uneven when I don’t have three options listed.
girls with muscles are sooooo good and girls with a lil chub and girls with lots of chub and girls with no chub and fat girls and thin girls and muscular girls and “average” girls and just wow girls 11/10 i love girls
i love lesbians and i love bi girls and i love pan girls. i love girls who are certain about their sexuality and wanna shout it from the rooftops. i love girls who are uncertain, but trying to figure it out. i love girls who want to hold hands w/ other girls, and i love girls who want to have sex w/ other girls. this is all okay and good. you are all so wonderful and brave, no matter how anyone else feels.
girls who have sexual thoughts about girls arent predatory. girls who want to or do have sex with girls arent dirty. girls who enjoy sex or the thought of having sex with girls arent predatory or dirty. youre not contributing to the male gaze or degrading women for having sexual thoughts about girls. its okay to be a girl and have sexual feelings for girls.

• competing with other girls
super into:

I’m here for girls that are all fucked up inside. I am here for girls who drink too much, and do drugs to mask the pain. I’m here for girls who are promiscuous to fill the void. I’m here for girls with “daddy issues”. I’m here for girls whose bodies have been beaten and violated. I’m here for girls who are so depressed they can’t clean their house or themselves properly. I’m here for girls who are drop-outs. I’m here for mentally ill girls. Disabled girls. Sick girls. I’m here for every damn girl that doesn’t feel like life is worth living. even though we’re fucked up we’re still valid and important as fuck ok
I’m here for “intimidating” girls. The “I thought you were mean when I first saw you” girls. The girls with “Resting Bitch™” faces. The girls that scare the men that try to catcall them. The girls that stand in their strong ass opinions. The girls that take no shit and get called a Bitch™ for it.
I love y'all and I hope y'all have a good day today.
Boys cry.
Girls masturbate.
Boys can like pink and not be gay.
Girls can have short hair and not be a lesbian.
Boys can like ballet.
Girls can like video games.
Boys can be hot without a six pack.
Girls can be hot without a hairless body.
Boys can have hair down to their waists.
Girls can have stretch marks, curves and back fat.
Gender doesn’t determine what you can and cannot enjoy, what you can and cannot look like or what you can and cannot do.
