All boosts appreciated (even from men 😜)

Genuine question for my fellow female-identifying Mastodonians navigating this late-capitalist era:

What is worse: a corporate charade that pays lip service to international women's day without any framework or system to uphold these values, or no charade at all?

@nichorra there's a photo call tonight that I will be avoiding. I'm glad there's something, I suppose, but participation in IWD events (or at least the ones I've been invited to) is pure bullshit, and I won't participate in this smokescreen for an underlying lack of equality.

In particular, gathering all the women together and not involving men makes it look like equality is something women need to work on, for ourselves, for a day

That's not even starting to look outside of cis people!

@nichorra damnit, it took this long for me to remember that it's *intersectional* feminism I want, not a group photo on an Instagram story
