Kurdish Warrior Women fearlessly fighting the evils of ISIS at every turn. Made especially fierce by the knowledge of what ISIS will do to them if they are captured. And made an especially effective due to the fact that ISIS fighters believe that if killed by a woman they will be chastised in the afterlife.

I’m really mad that this doesn’t have more notes. Middle Eastern feminists don’t joke around.

The last one… bravest warriors. They have my biggest respect.

you see, these are Feminists i agree with.

First world femmies say “People in <Third world country> are <feminist issue> but they say it behind a computer screen, in front of a camera not actually giving two fucks about the women in said Third World Country but push THEIR issues to promote why THEY as a 1st world feminist need feminism.

Because it sounds petty if they were to say

“I need Feminism because i don’t have enough room on public transport because guys have their legs too far apart”

or

“I Need feminism because there isn’t enough female representation in the media outlet that i give no shits about”

MEAAAANWHHILE

there are women literally DYING and being BETTER FUCKING FEMINISTS than the likes of Sarkeesian, Green and Wu, actually fighting for women’s rights in that country, to the point where if they were captured they would shoot THEMSELVES!

Seriously, First World Feminists, if you care about the problems Third World Feminists have in their coutry, take fucking notes.

ALL OF MY YESES.

PLEASE DONT SCROLL PAST THIS. I know it’s not “the type of aesthetic your blog needs” but I really need help right now. As some of you know, my mother is no mother. I know I’ve posted plenty of novel sized rants about her on here before but she’s really outdone herself this time. She’s an alcoholic. Pops pain pills like candy. Drives around drunk and stoned out of her mind with my little sister in the car. Swallowed an entire bottle of trazadone, climbed into my little sisters bed and said “I’m just going to die here.” She was nine years old. She was put under psychiatric evaluation for E I G H T D A Y S S T R A I G H T because even the doctors knew she wasn’t fit to be around Chloe anymore. The department of family and children services has been involved since that night and it is literally ON PAPER that Chloe is to not be left alone with her for A N Y reason. DFACs HELPED MY STEP FATHER BASICALLY RUN AWAY WITH MY LITTLE SISTER BECAUSE OF HOW TOXIC MY MOTHER IS. My older sister and I were removed from her care when I was THREE W E E K S OLD. last week, my mother managed to get in front of a judge, didn’t notify any defending parties (me, my stepdad, dfacs, ANY of my family). She was the only person testifying in a case against her. She convinced the judge that my step father was dangerous. That Chloe was homeless and starving. The police showed up at my stepdads house and TOOK my little sister (who was screaming and crying and telling the officers she did not want to go with my mother) and put. Her. In. My. Mothers. Car. To. Take. Back. To. Her. New. ****boys. House. That. Is. 6. Hours. Away. From. Her. Father. I tried to call and talk to Chloe right after it happened. My mother wouldn’t answer the phone. I messaged her on Facebook asking to speak to Chloe. This was her reply. There is a court date set for May 5th. My stepfather and I are trying to raise money for a lawyer in that short amount of time. He’s set up a gofundme page (link at the end) where anyone willing to help can donate. Even if you can’t donate, a simple reblog or share on Facebook would be so very greatly appreciated. Please help me bring my little sister home. She’s not safe and I’m ****ing terrified. http://dm2.gofund.me/snbghk

PLEASE HELP THIS FAMILY!!!!
