Beautiful on the inside? My friend, beauty is dead. Beauty is out of date. In fact, beauty doesn’t even exist anymore. Not really when you think about it. In today’s world you have to be young, tall, skinny, not just slim, tanned, but not too tanned apparently, curvy but...

Instagram post 17880134053477713 Welcome to Taking Up Space! A weekly series featuring fabulous feminists from around the world. (If you’d like to be featured, drop me a DM!!) . . I’m @feminist_fact_club and I’ll get the ball rolling... . . 1. Are you a feminist? Hells yes! . . 2. Do you hate men? (🤪) Course not. I hate the patriarchy. It hurts us all. . . 3. When did you start calling yourself a feminist? A long time ago - but not long enough. Why was I embarassed of the word feminist for so long? . . 4. What part of the patriarchy are you trying to smash right now? I’m totally here for the campaign by @unwomen against gender based violence #orangetheworld . Get involved! . . 5. What’s the best feminist advice you’ve learned recently? I got some great advice from @asalvaire over at @shift_balance who talked about how we are in charge of our own narratives. She made me think about what I’d like my narrative to be, and how to keep showing up with it. . . 6. Who is your feminism for? I speak from my own experience so I blog / post about unyielding support for feminists raising feminists. Because being a feminist is hard, and being a parent is harder. . . 7. What feminist book / music would you recommend? Right now I’m reading the classic ‘Feminism is for Everybody’ by bell hooks. Every word still rings true today. And of course I’m basically listening to Lizzo or Rosalia on repeat! . . 8. What’s the worst troll comment you’ve seen? I literally just changed my account name to include the word feminist, and the trolls have come crawling out in predictible droves! One just belly-flopped into my DMs with “Piss off” and then told me “Your dumb”. Sexist, ableist, toxic and grammatically incorrect. Ha! Thank you, Next! . .

Instagram post 17847698935770450 Fact: Human Trafficking impacts all kinds of people, but an overwhelming majority of individuals in human trafficking situations are women.

It's a part of @dressember - Fighting against human trafficking in a dress (or tie).⁠ .⁠ .⁠ What is human trafficking, anyway? The definition of human trafficking states that it involves force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act. ⁠ . ⁠ To put it plainly, human trafficking is the business of selling 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐨𝐦 for profit.

Instagram post 17861817421599061 Today is the International Day for the Elmimination of Violence Against Women. It’s such a huge day, I needed to quote the amazing folks over at @unwomen ... again… . . “Although in recent years, the voices of activists and survivors through movements such as #MeToo, #timesup , #NotOneMore, have reached a crescendo that cannot be silenced or ignored, violence against women and girls continues in every country. . . One in three women are impacted by this violence; 15 million adolescent girls worldwide have experienced forced sex. . . For the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, from 25 November to 10 December, and under the umbrella of the Generation Equality campaign to mark the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, UN Secretary-General’s UNiTE by 2030 to End Violence against Women campaign is calling upon people from all walks of life, across generations, to take our boldest stand yet against rape. . . #orangetheworld #generationequality #16days #stopviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #unwomen #starttheconversation #internationaldayfortheeliminationofviolenceagainstwomen #vawg #standagainstrape #rapeculture #rapecultureisreal #rapecultureiswhen #endrapeculture #endrapeculturenow #notaskingforit #consentisnecessary #nomeansno #endfgm #endsexualviolence #boyswillbeheldaccountableforthieiractions #feministblogger #feministblog #feministfamily
Instagram post 17906137414380118 Today is the international day for elimination of violence against women, and the folks over at UN Women have something to say about rape culture... . . “Too many of us fail to name or challenge the rape culture that surrounds us. Through words, actions and inactions; discriminatory laws or leniency towards perpetrators; through the media we consume, jokes we laugh at, and attitudes we do not question, we become part of a culture that allows rape to continue” . . “Under the theme of “Orange the World: Generation Equality Stands against Rape”, how will you learn, question and take action? Get involved by learning more about rape culture, listening to survivors and sharing their stories, joining and starting conversations about consent. One of the key challenges in prevention of rape and sexual harassment is the lack of understanding around the issue of consent—only yes means yes, given freely by consenting adults, in every situation.” . . “Small actions can make big impacts to stamp out rape culture.” . . “Use the colour orange and join the conversation on social media using #orangetheworld and #generationequality.” . . . #16days #stopviolence #stopviolenceagainstwomen #unwomen #starttheconversation #internationaldayfortheeliminationofviolenceagainstwomen #vawg #standagainstrape #rapeculture #rapecultureisreal #rapecultureiswhen #endrapeculture #endrapeculturenow #notaskingforit #consentisnecessary #nomeansno #endfgm #endsexualviolence #boyswillbeheldaccountableforthieiractions #feministblogger #feministblog #feministfamily
Instagram post 18079603036135579 Are you ready to get fact-ed? . . Right... Women do 60% of the world’s work. Produce 50% of the world’s food But only get 10% of the world’s income And only own 1% of the world’s property . . I recently had the fabulous pleasure of getting involved with the @shift_balance organisation.

I have a squillion! How about the fact that today there are 1.4 million open technology jobs in the U.S. and, at the current rate of students graduating with degrees in computer science, men outnumber women 4:1?

Instagram post 18011490043262154 Feminist Birthdays! You know us feminists like to party! How am I celebrating my birthday today? By learning about Ruth Bliar who was born on the same day. I know, it’s lit! . . Listen, born in 1923, she advocated for civil rights, the end of the Korean war, and refused to join the witch hunt of the McCarthy trials. Legend! . . As a medical scientist, she started to notice how sexism & social stereotypes were negatively influencing science & research (I knew it!!!) so she started to fight against that. . . She fought for LGBTQ rights and left a legacy of STEM scholarships for girls, when she died in 1988. She also opened a feminist bookshop and a lesbian friendly reataurant called ‘Lysistrata’, fought the pay gap and protested women’s exclusion from her universitiy’s gym by staging a ladies’ group shower, in the men’s locker room. . . How did she even find the time! I want to have more in common with her than just sharing a birthday! . . Do you know what fab person in history you share your birthday with? . . #girlsinstem #womeninstem #girlsinstemrock #lgbtqally #feministbirthday #genderrolessuck #feministmom #genderstereotyping #feministmama #feministfamily #raisingfeminists #feministblogger The bearded lady?⁠ .⁠ .⁠ ⁠ The other day my lovely, elderly neighbour gently took my face in her hands, looked at me with such kind eyes and said...
