I love unhinged women and don’t be ashamed to serve cunt as a woman own it
why female villains are better than male villains:
when men are evil, that’s just normal, we see it everyday.
when women are evil, they are serving cunt and we love to see it.

In honor of International Womens Day, here is a thread of women of color, queer women of color and trans women of color who deserve to be celebrated today for their accomplishments:
Up first: Sylvia Rivera who is a Latina trans activist, was one of the first women to throw a bottle at the Stonewall Inn raid in 1969. She was a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front and the Gay Activists Alliance. She is a pioneer of trans rights!! ❤️
Bisexual Mexican artist Frida Kahlo spoke out about being disabled after a bus accident. Her self-portraits comment on the female form and utilize traditional Mexican themes and colors!
Kara Walker is a Black artist who creates these very powerful silhouettes highlighting race and scenerios of our past in slavery. She creates many other works as well, but those are my personal favorite. I’ve seen them in person!
Katherine Johnson who is represented in the movie “Hidden Figures”, calculated the precise trajectories that would let Apollo 11 land on the moon in 1969. She was a very talented mathematician. In 2015, President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Malala Yousafzai is a prominent figure in our world. Every day she fights to ensure all girls receive 12 years of free, safe, quality education. She is also the youngest Nobel Prize recipient. Even after the gunman incident, her voice never stayed quiet.
Rosa Parks of course. She was a leader in the local NAACP and the civil rights movement, iconically refused to give up her seat. Her willingness to disobey the rule helped to spark the Montgomery boycott and other efforts to end segregation in America.
Marsha P. (“Pay it No Mind”) Johnson was another pioneer in the trans movement. She helped created STAR with Sylvia Rivera. She was a drag queen, sex worker, and while her gender identity remains questioned in discourse, a lot of trans people claim her as one of their own.
Cecilia Chung, an Asian trans woman living with HIV, has spent her life fighting to end discrimination, stigma and violence across marginalized communities first as the former chair of the San Francisco Human Rights Commission and on the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS.
Of course Michelle Obama!! She has focused on social issues like education and healthy living. She was deeply committed to the well-being of our nation and to the future of its people, especially its children.
One more: Patsy Takemoto Mink devoted her life to advocating for gender equality and educational reform. She is the first woman of color and the first Asian-American woman elected to the House of Representatives. Title IX owes its existence largely to her efforts. So thank you to all of these amazing, intelligent, passionate, beautiful, inspiring women throughout history who are fucking badass. I just had to shed some appreciation to them for changing the world and resonating with me to continue follow in my great aunt’s activism for people of color.
Happy International Women’s Day to ALL my sisters and I’m with you in solidarity and power!

Women have the right to let one rip every now and then.
Now available at my second Threadless store.
the flaws within a flower.
I shine brightest when the going’s tough // You say I can’t, well darling, watch me // You can’t stop me cuz I fight like a girl
I’m so super proud to be a woman, and I’m moved to tears at how we all stood in solidarity during the Women’s Marches. I also would like to thank all the men that came out and stood up for us and our rights as well. The lyrics of this song by Kalie Shorr are perfect in light of these amazing marches. This song is my anthem for the women’s movement. We are not underdogs. We are a force to be reckoned with. We can’t be stopped.
I’ve been doing what you want // But I won’t be your yes girl // No, not anymore
Awesome song by Bea Miller. These lyrics are so honest, and you can feel her raw emotion in every word she sings. She is fed up, and she is done, and she is speaking her mind. She will not be tied down any longer. These lyrics are an anthem of mine, especially during the Women’s March movements. We will not be silenced. We will not be contained by anyone, man or woman. We will not be yes girls.
A beautiful day indeed.
To all the females who watched Wonder Woman,
If you came home feeling empowered Or saw her bold bravery and felt like a coward Know that courage is not only meant for battlefields Not all wars are fought with swords and shields Warriors are not made of just skin and bones They are made of belief; as strong as metal and stones We’re women waging wars to show our worth To oppressors with whom we share the same earth It doesn’t take years of training to stand up for our rights We’re as capable as she is, to win this fight She represents the power and grace within us all To show that even amongst men, we can stand strong and tall
