no but imagine the rawness of slytherin feminists

alternatively you could imagine a room full of tories who think of margaret thatcher as a feminist icon ‘cause it’s pm the same thing

right because an individual who’s cunning and ambitious, who strives to be their best and who’s loyal to their own, would make such a shit feminist.
yep.

i am embarrassed by this post. also it made my head hurt.

…Except Slytherins are canonically prone to racism and classism and even if you disregard the fact that there is little to no canon evidence of true unwavering loyalty between them, particularly true unwavering loyalty that means sometimes thinking of others before themselves, “their own” seem to be a pretty narrow group of people i.e. Slytherins are a fairly good mirror of the kind of feminism that prioritises the needs of cishet white middle-class women while throwing women of colour and poor women and queer women under the bus, which, yeah, is an incredibly shit brand of feminism.

I am SO PLEASED that some people are correct about Slytherin. Slytherins are TORIES omg i know a lot of the fandom is from overseas but if you’re from the UK and you can’t see that you’re really missing the obvious.
