And black people have the same issue when it comes to finding jobs/careers.
^^^^ yes but it ain’t about us right now
Let them have their post, bro. We have our own and this ain’t one of them.
^^^ Yes, I love the accountability!
Here’s your fucking breast cancer awareness.
This was during my 35 day radiation treatment back in 2013. Breast cancer isn’t sexy. It’s not about saving the boobies. It’s not about no bra day, which is really just an excuse for women to post sexy pics of their nipples pressing through their clothes. It’s scars, nausea, pain, bald heads, burnt skin, and broken hearts.
If this doesn’t make you “aware” then I don’t know what will.
Does it make you uncomfortable? It should.
Thank you for sharing this because I’ve literally never seen this side of it
THIS.
This makes me super uncomfortable but this is why I am sharing it.
We need to see the real story.
Huge hugs to you.
From one cancer survivor to the other, all my love and hugs. People NEED to see the other side of cancer. The other side of everything being fucking pink, the other side of all the faux-awareness campaigns: the painful side.
What triggers my anger is when that person who happens to be a female says: “I don’t need feminism. I don’t need to be liberated.”
How about you tell that to:
- that Moroccan girl who killed herself after being forcibly married to her rapist (x)
- that 11-year-old Texan girl who got raped by 18 men while the New York Times said she “dressed older than her age.” (x)
- Reyhaneh Jabari, an Iranian woman who was tortured in jail then hanged after killing the man who was going to rape her. (x)
-
Nojood Al-Ali from Yemen who got divorced when she was 10. (x)
- the 16-year-old girl from Ohio who got raped
and filmed at a party by 2 boys, while CNN reporters talked about the bright futures of the rapists as athletes. (x)
- the 94 women in Jordan who were legally married to their rapists, only in 2014. (x)
- the 8-year-old girl who was married to a man 5 times her age, and died on the day of her wedding because she suffered from bleeding and uterine rupture after intercourse. (x)
- the 25 Palestinian women who were killed by either their brother or father, in order to “protect their honor” only in 2013. (x)
- the 99% of Egyptian women and 90% of Yemeni women who have experienced sexual harassment (x) (x)
You still don’t need feminism?
