“We should all be feminists” TedxTalk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

This talk is honestly just incredible. As a Nigerian and a fellow Igbo as well, it is beyond moving to see someone like Adichie so eloquently articulate and expound on sexism and the virulent power of patriarchy in the world at large and specifically in the context of her life as an Igbo woman growing up in Nigeria as well. She points out the problems we have in Nigerian and Igbo culture today without pulling punches, and links it into these larger systems of oppression that affect woman globally. Oppression being cast as ”tradition” and a “part of our culture” is not excusable and is just wrong, and as she puts it so well:

“So what is the point of culture… culture is really about preservation and continuity of people… culture does not make people; people make culture. So if it is in fact true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we must make it our culture”

She also calls out the fuckery of MOC who blatantly ignore the intersectional experiences of WOC!

This is amazing, and Adichie takes you on a journey with her before hitting homerun after homerun in the second half of the talk.The only bone I have to pick is with her saying that men “should be feminists as well.” I feel like it’s very inappropriate for us as men to colonize female spaces, and a “male feminist” is a useless term for someone who should just say that he is a “man actually trying to be a decent human being” instead.

Besides that, though, and ending by talking about a “masculine male feminist” (cringe) which are points she touches on just right at the end, I absolutely love this and encourage everyone to grab some popcorn and watch it! She calls it like it is, and I’m so proud as an Igbo person as well. Adichie is just so incredible, smart, funny, witty and on point, and I’m going to have to look for some of her books to read now too!

Let me just say, just because you eat healthily and work out doesn’t necessarily mean you ARE healthy

Being afraid of sugar, a piece of cake, or anything not clean is not “healthy”

Being pissed and anxious and upset and mad at yourself for missing one day of working out is not “healthy”

Your entire life revolving around food, exercising and being healthy is not “healthy”

Just putting that out there

Preach it gurl!

So today we’ve learned that the LNP can criticise the body of PM Julia Gillard, sexualise and objectify her, liken her to an animal to be consumed, and in the same breath, accuse her of dividing the population by bringing her gender into politics.

Righto.

"People don’t wanna be compared to the teenage girl; the teenage girl is hated, teenage girls hate..."

Thu, 13 Jun 2013 13:04:08 -0400

“People don’t wanna be compared to the teenage girl; the teenage girl is hated, teenage girls hate themselves. If you listen to a certain kind of music, or if you express your emotions in a certain kind of way, if you self harm, you write diaries, all those kind of activities are sort of laughed at and ridiculed because they’re associated with being a teenage girl. Even just things like being cripplingly self conscious or overly concerned with our appearance, that’s considered like a teenage girl thing and therefore its ridiculous, it’s stupid, it’s not relevant or legitimate, and you know, what we needed at that age was legitimisation and respect and support but all we got was dismissal and “oh you’re such a teenage girl.”
