Hi everyone! It's Bella and Serena y'all!! We started Little Miss Opinionated: a Radical Feminist Blog because we wanted a place for our voices to be heard and taken seriously. As opinionated and radical feminists, we have many concerns and issues with the oppressive systems that influence every aspect of our society. This blog is where we can share all of those thoughts and feelings while encouraging each other to never give up the fight for freedom. We believe true liberation can only come through intersectional activism that leaves no individual or group behind. We fight against racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, capitalism, and neoliberalism simultaneously. We welcome anyone who agrees with our radical and progressive opinions to enjoy our blog and join our fight!
