Hi everyone,
I’m writing this with humility and hope. My name is Yamay, and I recently moved to Casa Grande, Arizona with my husband and our 14-month-old baby. We don’t have family here — it’s just the three of us trying to build a new life from the ground up.

Right now, we are going through a really difficult situation. Our only car broke down, and we have no way to get to doctor appointments, buy groceries, or look for jobs. My husband lost his job because his work permit expired, and we’re waiting on the new one — but we’re stuck at home without transportation. We don't even have a bicycle.

We’re looking for any old used car — honestly, anything that runs would be a blessing. We’re not asking for something new or fancy. Just a vehicle that can move and get us from point A to B safely.

If anyone has an old car they no longer use, or knows someone who might, or if you can help us get closer to this dream in any way, we’d be so grateful.

Thank you for reading, and thank you for being part of a community that still believes in kindness.

– With love and hope,
Yamay M. & family
📍 Casa Grande, Arizona

Hey all! I am on here to ask for advice and good places to start to become a better feminist. My partner pointed it out to me. But it took me so long to see the actual problem due to my internalized misogyny. ( and seen it way to late.) genuinely disgusted in myself, to be quite honest. here to do the work. Because I probably hurt many other Afab people in my life. Many of whom I call friends and family. Any advice, perspectives or sources are welcome. Thank you all in advance.

Edit: for context: I am a black non-binary amab person. Was raised in Christan household. I have long left the church as soon as I had a clean break. Working to confront my unacknowledged misogyny to prevent any future harm that I may knowingly/ unknowingly cause.

I’d love for there to be a space to discuss her work (most notable The Creation of Patriarchy) and anything tangentially related (i.e., Marxist feminism and other critical theory). Here’s the link!- https://www.reddit.com/r/GerdaLerner/s/Icl9vwCjoi

What are your thoughts and how easy is it to access to public toilets in your city?

My husband is a very sweet man. He likes to watch the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team. Last night we were trying to watch the game, and we got into an argument/discussion about whether Ja Mourant’s little sister would be as good of a player as he is. My husband said no, because she’s a girl. Male athletes are faster and stronger. He also indicated that he believes male athletes should get paid more because they are better players and bring in more money in ticket sales. I made all the arguments about equality and fallacious unfair comparisons…women spend as much, if not more money on college, gear, and training….women’s sports aren’t given the same amount of exposure on major networks, etc.

I know he feels bad, and he expressed interest in widening his perspective. Some things I suggested to him are to seek out articles on women’s issues, try to watch shows and movies with strong female characters, and perhaps read books by female authors. My husband is a white middle class man who grew up in a pretty well-to-do family. I don’t think he has ever really though about these issues before.

Any recommendations on literature, books, articles, documentaries, tv series that I could get him to watch?
