Anonymous asked: Do you ever just feel like there's nothing you can do to combat the patriarchy and the world is so fucked up that to try and change things is almost useless? :( What can we do on a day to day basis without being totally dismissed?

Frequently. And, I mean, a lot of the time there is pretty much nothing you can do. Changing someone’s mind is often nearly impossible; the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house; etc. I just try to keep in mind that history is HUGE and Rome wasn’t built in a day, and women have made such huge strides in the last 60 years or so when compared to the bullshit they’ve endured for THE ENTIRE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE, so really, in the grand scheme of things, we’re only at the beginning of the movement for real social change.
