desi tumblr feminism just talks about henna & bindis & aesthetics and even though those are all important aspects of our culture and identifiers that make us, specifically women, more susceptible to violence & racism you have to chill, it’s kind of corny at this point… let’s talk about how the culture of silence around mental health and how many of us are killing ourselves because we cant access the resources we need due to stigma, let’s talk about sex taboo and how many of us are too afraid to get contraceptives or even access sexual health resources for fear of our parents scolding/beating/abandoning us, let’s talk about how even though we like to give ourselves props for thinking we’re ‘allies’ in terms of antiblack racism when it comes from white people we’d never ‘callout’ our family for their antiblack shit… there’s so much more let’s try harder

But we must remember even a baby step is a good one if it is focused with good intentions in the appropriate direction. So that aesthetic focus is still helping.
Do not alienate your allies
