Being a boy puts you under social pressure to be masculine and this not being able to feel like they can express feelings fully without being judged. they feel unable to be venerable to others or to accept the feelings themselves. And since boys aren't normally given deep conversations at home, they tend to turn to media and the internet for all of their needs. Everyone knows that the internet could be a good tool, but it could also hurt more than it could help. For the boys who truly try to be masculine and embrace being "tough" they end up more likely to bully others since thats whats seen as being "male". More importantly, they end up bulling themselves in the process and being extra harsh on themselves. Boys are judged harshly and thus are forced to perform more

This relates to the having a girlfriend without knowing it. Me (bot right) and these two girls spend every minute of every day together, and we got really close. We would always be together whether thats sitting in each others class or tending to each other when we were sick or basically anything. We had only known each other for a couple o months, but for those months we all became inseparable. We went through everything together, but in the end we got stronger. But during the time of our friendship, I did really feel like I had 2 girlfriends. We would never be alone. At least 2 of us were always together. There was no boundary. Hugs, sharing food, having sleep overs, sharing a bed, we were one. Yet like all relationships, this one feel out badly. The fall out felt like a storm and it was horrible to go through.

Birthcontrol was originally advertised as a tool for women's liberation, and something that the women can now use to have control. But soon, people started association women who use birth control as them committing genocide. It got so bad that the women were acting against it and then they got force sterilization in the early 20th centuries. This picture shows that the thing getting sterilized doesn't have any say. What it wants is ignored and discarded. The women's uterus ever got a say in any of the things happening to it, especially in the early 20s with the forced sterilization. like Davis, I also support abortion, but that doesn't mean I think women should be having them everywhere, I think that they should be able to have the choice, the freedom to if they so wish to. Women should have a right to choose not to raise their kids in poverty. There are so many outsides voices

This represent oppression in the fact that its all working together to stand. Oppression works together to stay standing. Lorde says that if she can't simply fight one fight but must fight it all, causing all the cards to crumble. Oppression is interconnected, and so are the cards. To be liberated is to fight all that is oppression at once, or else nothing will get done. Taking out one of the cards on the house of cards can cause the whole thing to shake and become unstable. Just like how challenging one part of oppression can start to shake the others since the other parts will now be challenged.

People have forever and continue to think that the sperm do all the work while the egg sort of just sits there waiting. Buts thats not true. The egg is as active as the sperm is in the process of making a baby. this image shows depicts that the queen piece is the egg while the pawns are the sperm. The pawn pieces all rush forward to the queen while the queen as equal power in her ability to move and dodge. People thinking the sperm does all the work proves that gender roles have always been a thing, in males being dominant. People also have said that the men proceed millions of sperm and they're used while all an eggs does is get wasted in the womb of the women. This also relates to the photo as their are many more pawns then there are queen pieces.
