Anatomy of a feminist unicorn

[SmileEachDay]

Feminism is getting cute, y’all

🤯

I love that OP. It sounds pretty cool. Particularly the ears! Never stop listening to your sisters. The ones you disagree with. The ones you disapprove of. The ones you love. Be compassionate to them. Listen without judgement. It will improve your relationship and understanding of your sisters.

Doesn't a unicorn have the tail of a lion?

I’m listening, Dione, always.

Tell me about your unicorn.

My unicorn?
I don't do unicorns. And I don't do art. It's not my thing. I do paint walls/woodwork. I do do feminism though.

Today me and my mum did gardening and DIY around my house. We lifted my living room carpet and cut back the garden. There was no "do you have a hammer/screwdriver", it was "give us your hammer/screwdriver". She was pissed off because she'd bought a new Stanley knife for the occasion but left it at home. It was ok though, because I had one and she'd brought new blades.

She did all of this with kindness and long, painted nails. I did it with love, long hair and a pink tool box full of pink tools.

That's a really long way of saying "I'm shit at art".

Doesn't a unicorn have the tail of a lion?
Is that not a griffen SickOfThePig?

I don’t think I’d pick a mythical being to represent feminism.

I quite like that women (and Scotland) get the unicorn. Fuck off great horse with an enormous horn on the front. Much better than kittens, fairies and baby deer.

Not that unicorn though. Not that one.

No art required, for a list of unicorn characteristics, surely?

That's a really long way of saying "I'm shit at art".
But I'm still a feminist.

SickOfThePig, yes, historical drawings of unicorns have a lion like tail, and sometimes a mane as well. The Scottish unicorn has a lion tail.

DD3 (14) showed me something similar a couple of weeks ago and said "We have to get [DD4] off unicorns"

😂😂 I love the 'sparkles - because I'm a fucking unicorn'

My eyes! I can never unsee that.

Your mum sounds great and I love your description of small and important ways of disrupting the gender stereotypes.

You welched out on your list of unicorn feminist traits though
