Jeeja Yanin in Chocolate (2008).

So we’ve been watching this series called How We Won The War and they’re currently doing a section about female ATA pilots during WW2 and holy shit look how badass they are They were the first women allowed into, let alone fly, an RAF aircraft. Their male peers were of they opinion that they should “go back to the kitchen” so only let them fly shitty archaic planes with open cockpits that nearly caused them to freeze to death one winter. They tried to make them wear skirts and stockings during winter but they were like “haha no” and wore proper flight gear instead. They flew in terrible weather with poor visibility, no radio and no electronic navigational equipment. Though not permitted to fly into combat zones they were still frequently under fire. Over time their contribution to the air force was recognised and the ATA was the first government organisation to give equal pay for equal work regardless of gender.

there is no amount of "contributions to society" that justifies the intentional subjugation of specially selected people groups (which by design maintains the artificial elevation and social and historical preciousness of such "contributors" in the first place). idc how often somebody quotes some poetry or holds up a watch. fuck that. whole apparatus down to the language is blood garbage and unmarked graves. At least stop lying even if you can't fix it

6 months can reveal a lot about a person. love people for who they are, and don't ever treat them like a piece in some abusive game. that's not how to make a good world. hell, look at capitalism
