This woman is doing science. IS THIS FEMINIST?
“Science,” as a narrative of knowledge, prizes a phallocentric adherence to logic and mastery, breaking things down into discrete parts and seeking to name and control their interactions, rather than viewing them as an intuitively connected, interdisciplinary, feminine whole. This woman is adopting and reinforcing a masculine-supremacist view of intelligence which encourages women to rely on externally defined “facts” and academic credentials, rather than heeding their own inner wisdom. A true feminist simply knows the cure for Alzheimer’s disease, possibly because it’s yoga. PROBLEMATIC.

Feminist snark, 1915 style
I especially love the reasons men are too emotional to vote.

[strip depicting two versions of Uhura from Star Trek, one from the time of TOS, and the other from the future of TOS in which she’s a commander, in conversation:
Lt. Uhura: You’re… me, aren’t you?
Cmdr. Uhura: Apparently so.
Lt. Uhura: Then I’m still in the service?
Cmdr. Uhura: Yes, dear. You’re—I’m—a commander now.
Lt. Uhura: I’m not married? No children? No legacy to leave?
Cmdr. Uhura: Not the one we’d once hoped to leave. But we’ve helped to open the universe to all mankind— —and that’s more than enough legacy for any woman.]

I am a feminist, and because I’m a feminist I critique every medium of media I come across on how it treats women, racial minorities, people with disabilities, other religions and cultures, people who aren’t straight or cisgender or sexual, and people who aren’t upper class. Pretty much every media is horrible towards all of those people. For some reason people don’t see that unless it’s porn.
One thing about porn that I like to point out is that the people involved in porn have given their consent. There are women, and feminists, who like to be submissive sexually or who are involved in S&M in that way. There’s a huge difference between how you want to be treated sexually and how you want to be treated as a person. …
Hey, I'm Emma, and I think I look pretty good in a lab coat.
I enjoy thinking about very large things, thinking about very small things, riding a bicycle, smashing the patriarchy, making music, eating fresh fruit, waking up early, looking at the sky...
When I grow up I want to be a cross between Audre Lorde and Richard Feynman.
