Holly of The Pervocracy: Strong Woman

The misconception is: “Feminism is the idea that women are strong.”

No. Feminism is the idea that women are as strong as men, but no stronger. […] Feminism is the idea that a woman shouldn’t have to be exceptionally strong to get by. Feminism makes no predictions on whether a particular woman can survive slings and arrows, bullying and belittling, mistrust and self-doubt. Feminism asks “hey, who the fuck said women had to run this bullshit gauntlet, anyway?”

The whole thing is so good.
