“Women must change themselves; they must change one another, without worrying about how this will affect men. The consciousness of women will change only when they think about themselves, and forget about what is good for their men”

-Susan Sontag, On Women

A few weeks ago the UN reported that everyone in Gaza is facing a food crisis -and that 1 in every 4 people in Gaza are starving -a quarter of their population is hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people. EVERYONE is hungry -their medical systems have collapsed and there are imminent outbreaks of diseases. How HUMILIATING and dehumanizing it is to have to fight for basic necessities. Imagine seeing a humanitarian truck -something rare because as we know the IOF has been collectively punishing Palestinian people for months now and has been committing mass genocide under the guide of 'war.' Not letting through resources to prevent people from dying from starvation is beyond depraved. And the fact we will NEVER see this on western/European mass media is just... absolutely infuriating.

every woman is a little girl. but then it becomes misunderstood when the woman enters motherhood.

the stripping of identity a woman faces when she becomes a mother is rife. understand that mama, mom, mummy, mommy, ma distracts from the fact that she is her own person. she’s still a little girl but the difference is that she’s big enough to be the mother not the mothered.

so when you find yourself disagreeing with your mother or feeling that she misunderstands you, know that she is still that little girl on the inside its just been years since someone has acknowledged it.
