learning that 90% of the discourse that tears apart queer twitter was already argued extensively during the second-wave feminist movement has been both intensely liberating and intensely frustrating

every day i understand more the dire need for mandatory women& #39;s history courses that actually teach feminist history

let& #39;s have the feminist sex wars again. let& #39;s argue about pornagraphy, sex work, s&m, and women& #39;s rape fantasy again! let& #39;s argue essentialism vs. social constructionism in lgbt identity again! let& #39;s argue butch/femme again! let& #39;s go again! i want to get off mr. bones wild ride!

i& #39;ve gotten this from teens & 18-21 year olds so many times while literally citing the history that contradicts them & it& #39;s v frustrating. can& #39;t imagine how much more upsetting it is for people who lived it. ofc i try to hold kindness cuz they& #39;re young but https://twitter.com/shafiqmog/status/1301903528684855296?s=21">https://twitter.com/shafiqmog...

it& #39;s also just exhausting cuz the structure of twitter means we have to inhabit the same (toxically designed) social spaces on here, and also: adults do it too and that shit makes me incredibly angry

reminder that i made a thread of threads of lesbian-feminist history in this tweet and down: https://twitter.com/jessfromonline/status/1278731951705374721">https://twitter.com/jessfromo...
