“I asked a young White woman why she was studying social anthropology. She replied that she was hoping to go to Zimbabwe, and felt that she could help women there by advising them how to organize. The Black women in the audience gasped in astonishment. Here was someone scarcely past girlhood, who had just started university and had never fought a war in her life. She was planning to go to Africa to teach female veterans of a liberation struggle how to organize! This is the kind of arrogant, if not absurd attitude we encounter repeatedly. It makes one think: Better the distant armchair anthropologists than these ‘sisters’.”— Nigerian feminist Ifi Amadiume (via newwavefeminism)

I used to think i was introverted bc I really liked being alone but it turns out I just like being at peace & I am very extroverted when I’m around people who bring me peace

pure:
Lady Gaga: Oh I was doing all of these things with R Kelly in a PTSD-induced haze 😔 When I said we had a bond and our collaboration was natural that was just me battling with my demons 😔 When I said we both suffer from the press reporting untrue things about us I was just grappling with being a survivor 😔 (Go see my movie) 😔 When I didn’t mention R Kelly during my #MeToo speeches that was just (spins wheel) patriarchy 😔
Vogue, twitter scholars, every mainstream American publication: She is so brave. She is so fearless. This will promote change.
