*clears throat*
Trans women do not have it easier.
Trans women are not just a fetish.
Trans women can be asexual.
Trans women are not ‘begging for attention’.
Trans women are not ‘asking for it’.
Trans women are just as equal as trans men.
Trans women are just as equal as cis women.
Trans women are just as equal as literally anybody.
Trans women deserve respect.
Trans women deserve rights.
Trans women deserve to feel safe.
Trans women are women. If you cannot wrap your head around that; get off my fucking blog.

The more "empowered" Disney tries to write their heroines as, the less interesting and charismatic they become, ironically.

there's this video you've probably seen already where a woman is shaking in front of a microphone and delicately tries to ask - how can i make my husband listen to me, i've tried everything, i don't want to seem ungrateful and the other man laughs - the problem is that you married a man, we're only listening 25% of the time and we only understand 5% of that! and the audience laughs and the woman laughs and you just sat there, phone in your hand, letting the sound of it echo
and the thing is that people make think-pieces about it (isn't this one of them) and satire versions and "flipping the script" which is good and fun but at the end of the day, there's some truth in that man's response about men-not-listening. and you have tried to language that feeling for years, this sense that you can only take up 33% of a conversation before others view it as being "dominating".
it's not that they aren't listening, it's that the action they're taking is purposefully silencing. it's different. you accidentally-don't-listen a lot; just because the world is loud and you're distracted. you don't mean anything by it. and the truth is that the man who spoke is relying on that to be true of you; the way it's true of everyone. but there is a different undertone to his kind of not-listening. what he means is they don't respect you and you shouldn't expect them to. there is a difference between oh shit i forgot to take the trash out and why didn't you remind me to do it, just like there is a difference between i didn't realize you wanted to go out this weekend and why do you expect me to plan things why can't you just tell me where we're going.
and the thing is that it isn't just him, and it's actually not just because of your gender - your skin, your class status, your weight, their ableism - it happens often. so often it feels like a tightness around your throat and a weight in your stomach. you're not even "really" allowed to be upset about it, because to them it's a joke. and they laugh. and you know exactly the amount of work that goes into every conversation. how you have to work to condense down your thoughts into intelligent, crisp soundbites; worried someone will try to swoop in and cut you off. and there's this sense from everyone else - oh stop being so sensitive, are you really upset just because they weren't listening and you don't know how to say the way that feels when it happens constantly.
there's that video of the science summit where a woman in the audience finally says let her speak please! and the whole crowd bursts into applause and the man leading the summit holds up his hands and bows his head and says oops, sorry! like what he did was awkward and embarrassing, a little social gaffe that happens easily. later in your meetings, you're asked to take notes, and you don't say anything, you just hear let her speak please! ringing in your head and know that you'll never be brave enough for that kind of thing. and besides. think of all the people who agree this was a one-off, he just got excited and all of the people who say one man is not indicative of all of society
at the dinner table you're talking about someone you don't like and how he's not good to his girlfriend and how she always has to remind him to put the effort in and before him, she was glowing with curiosity and passion but now she just seems... tired, unhappy. that he likes the way she burns out; she stays home and takes care of him and their 2 kids. and your father sniffs and says that men take a while to learn those kinds of things. and you just stare at him and think about your childhood and are like - no wonder i turned out like this
and you want to say - there's no fucking secret school or mystic form of communication. i was not sent to Rearing a Child University. i did not graduate from Getting Chores Done College. i ask questions and i listen and i pay attention, because that's basic fucking human decency. it stems from respect, and how i respect others and their agency. i clean the house because someone should clean. not because it comes "naturally".
hell, you had to google "how to boil an egg" the other day, just because you usually make them scrambled. you can never remember which of the 2 bathroom cleaners make chlorine gas, only that two of them definitely do. you've accidentally bleached your clothes. it took you like 3 years of self-teaching before you figured out how to actually cook things correctly - for that whole time, you burnt or undercooked everything. but you did teach yourself; just like you taught yourself how to listen with empathy. just like how you taught yourself to think before you speak. to be kind first, to be better at communicating. it seemed like a good thing, an adult thing.
the joke the man in the video makes is that women say i'm fine! when they are not fine. and you think about the 150 conversations that happened around that; about how she probably has had so many arguments with her husband. how she said i'm upset you don't take me anywhere and he got mad at her because of course i do, you made me go to that stupid restaurant like last week and she probably said that's not what i'm saying and he said now i'm supposed to be psychic or something and she said no of course not and he said how am i supposed to know what to do when you don't even like everything and she said i do like things and he said well how am i supposed to win? and her pastor probably told her to be more grateful because they do things at all, even if she has to plan them and her mom probably told her that's just how men are honey and she probably cried over her journal, trying to figure out why the fuck she "has everything" and is still so bitterly, horribly unhappy
and how, in your life, for so many reasons, you looked down the barrel of another argument; of explaining yourself and being vulnerable and begging for help again. how many times you just said i'm fine because it was better than doing that again; it was better than wringing yourself out when it's literally easier to just pretend. because he wasn't going to listen. your father wasn't going to be better and your boyfriend wasn't going to be better and your boss wasn't going to be more respectful.
and you sit in front of a video of a woman shaking, looking horrible and guilt-wrought that she's even asking this question. and you know; deep in your heart - that's you. in a different life, you are her. you've stood in her spot. and you had to listen while someone else cackled - why would we bother to notice when you talk?

I often wonder what sets Arthur apart and makes him particularly appealing to me compared to other characters (in general). One significant factor lies in how he perceives and interacts with women. Arthur views women as equals, rejecting any notion that he is superior because they often do tasks traditionally associated with women, such as laundry and other chores.
He also never doubts capabilities of women like Sadie, who perform tasks usually associated with men. It's essential to note that one of Arthur's initial scenes with Sadie may be misinterpreted, as Sadie herself belittles the work of other women, not Arthur.
Arthur maintains healthy relationships with the female gang members, with none of them serving as a love interest. He sees men and women as equal, believing everyone should be able to walk their own path in life. He treats women with respect and he doesn’t expect any reward for his behaviour (sadly this is how many men seem to think even in the current time). He doesn’t see women in the gang as a cover (Dutch) nor like a liability (Micah). He sees them as people and valuable members of the gang.
Even in situations where he has to help women, he never considers them any less capable nor downplays their abilities.
Arthur's respect for women is also shown in his interactions with individuals outside the gang, such as the circus lady and the rich widow. After the circus lady thanks him for his help, he’s quick to say she would’ve been able to do it without him. He encourages her to pursue her dream in a so far male-dominated industry. He doesn’t look down on the widow, who doesn’t know anything about survival. He doesn’t tell her to go back to the city where she came from. He tries to teach her in a natural and encouraging way, never acting as if he was better than her because he has more experience. He patiently teaches her without any condescension.
He initially doesn’t understand why Beau even tries to stop Penelope from participating in the women's rights march. I like to think this is because he thinks everyone should be able to fight for their cause/what they believe is right. Not to mention he very much enjoyed riding with these ladies and wrote about his experience with fondness.
Arthur's journal entries reveal his disapproval of mistreating women, recognizing the injustice in an era when women had limited autonomy. “He treats his daughter like a possession to be mistreated and abused as he sees fit. Strange creatures men.” It was definitely not common for men in this time to be thinking about women's autonomy.
I don’t want to praise Arthur for things that should be considered the bare minimum but these qualities definitely add more to his likability. And it’s great to see where your favorite character stands on important things like this.
Tumblr media
⚘ While acknowledging that Arthur's antagonistic lines may be interpreted as sexist, it's important to consider them as optional elements mostly implemented to make 13 years old boys feel edgy.

One thing I oddly appreciate about white women is if they decide they like a person of color, they become almost untouchable. Try talking shit about Serena Williams or Simone Biles in front of a group of white millennial women. You will get GUTTED

seeing a lot of people being in shock that h*rner was at the rbr launch after his reported misconduct, need i remind you that this is the sport that allowed m*zepin to continue racing after video footage of him sexually assaulting someone came out. this sport doesn’t care about women and it never has.

I feel like swinging a bat at a hornets nest so I'll say the quiet part out loud. A lot of y'all are bein aphobic as hell when it comes to Alastor. Alastor is seen to act repulsed multiple times in the show when other characters have suggested sexual acts with him and between that and his being confirmed ace, the fact that Alastors tag is still full of smutty fics just shows that you don't respect the character or folks on the ace spectrum at all. Yes, some ace folks aren't sex repulsed but Alastor clearly isn't one of those folks and y'all doing gymnastics to try to justify your constant objectification of our only confirmed ace character says a lot about y'all and how little y'all respect us.
Y'all are doing the exact thing to Alastor that so many of us on the ace spectrum fear from those around us every single day. You don't care about the character at all, you only care about how you wish he would fuck you and there's literally a whole show of other characters you can do that with that isn't the only confirmed ace character.

love that rachel zegler is shitting on the original snow white movie as if it isn't the highest grossing animated film, ever. as if walt disney didn't use his own fucking house as collateral to finance it. as if a feature length colour animation wasn't revolutionary at the time and people didn't work overtime, invented animating mechanisms for the movie. as if it didn't win walt an oscar and make disney what it is today. as if snow white and the seven dwarfs (1937) wasn't a cultural milestone in hollywood history. as if snow white isn't worth anything today because she isn't Girlboss™. as if once upon a time, mirror mirror and red shoes didn't already make snow white an independent leader or whatever. as if it isn't the reason she's currently employed —

Desis, if you want to watch a violent, gory, A-rated movie featuring an unhinged bloodthirsty man for a protagonist…
Go to Salaar
It’s a 1000x times better than Animal. And I’ve watched both. Trust me.

Help I just read Baiheng's Parenting and why am I getting so curious what happened to that one PTA meeting with that one mother she punched—
Imagine if the woman did try to report this to the General though—that'd be so funny XD
One day, I will write about Baiheng and the fights she had with the PTA parents.
To the old nobility, Yanqing is not of any important bloodline. Yes, he is adopted into the family but to old families who value blood relations above everything else, Yanqing is viewed as something akin to a usurper. The old nobility are not the richest nor do they hold the same immense political power they had before. During the Civil War, they lost a lot of status and Jing Yuan's ascension to the Seat of Divine Foresight did not make it easier on them. Their feelings towards Yanqing are a mixture of discrimination towards his birth and their delusions of a lost, but glorious past.
At the PTA meeting, a mother belonging to a noble family had the gall/stupidity to say around Baiheng "It's bad enough that child is held to the same rank as us but for him to go to the same school as well, the Alliance truly has fallen. Who knows what a loathsome child will do to our society? I say it's best to get rid of him."
Had she said it within the comforts of her home or the old noble factions, no one would've batted an eye. However, she was stupid enough to say it when Baiheng was in the room and her Foxian hearing is much better than humans or Vidyadhara.
Within seconds of her saying that, she was immediately on her floor, a painful bruise on her right cheek. No amount of screaming and threats could make Baiheng regret what she did and she absolutely did not regret it.
"Go on then, you can fight back if you want. Or you can even go and report what happened to the Cloud Knights, where you can repeat what you said about Yanqing to the General instead."
If the woman was stupid enough to actually go to the General to lodge a complaint, she would be thrown in jail for threatening harm to a member of the General's family.
Lady: General, please help me! Lady Baiheng attacked me out of nowhere. Look, she struck me so hard my face is bruised.
Jing Yuan: *already knows what happens but wants to see how long this can be dragged out* I am so sorry to hear that. How can the Seat of Divine Foresight help you?
Lady: Well, you can do something about Lady Baiheng. Throw her in jail or exile her! She hit me! I am a noble. I come from a distinguished family.
Jing Yuan: I see. Might I ask what led up to this?
Lady: I was just talking with the other parents. I have no idea what led to her assaulting me
Jing Yuan: What exactly were you talking about?
Lady: *quickly realizing that her comments might land her in the Shackling Prison* Uh...

The Pitstop boys choosing to say 'as a fan no one really gives a fuck about the racing' in front of three racing drivers - one of which was involved in a serious crash and has had multiple surgeries and therapy to get back into racing - is a fucking choice

there is something so hurtful about low honor jack marston being a creep towards women. yes he's low honor but I DON'T CARE. that is NOT the son abigail marston raised, and definitely not the one who was surrounded by positive female role models through his early life.

(PREVIOUS POST HERE! @voxasks here's the new post! :D)
Tumblr media
Alastor didn't even react much, watching the whole situation go down from the bar with a hidden smirk. Taking another sip of his drink, the actor knew better than to try and stop what was pretty much inevitable, and while he had his own reservations- there was just that little part of him that enjoyed seeing degenerate scum of the earth get a rightful serving of karma. Though, you would never catch him saying or admitting that. After all, it was more akin to his counterpart's behavior to wish ill on those who wronged him.
"Whether or not the bastard survives, it won't be a messy bloodbath. Thank goodness for that striking character difference."
The pervert's screams were drowned out by the loud music and the other partygoers around them didn't even seem to notice. Well and good, considering the guy just fell to the ground out cold clutching his family jewels after the impromptu electrotherapy the overlord gave him. (Y/N) peeked out from behind her colleague with a slightly evil grin, in her eyes- the man got exactly what he deserved. As ruthless as the Vee's methods might have been, the actress didn't seem to care. She was a little more... unhinged than what she originally seemed to show.
"Oh, shit. Please tell me you didn't fucking murder the guy just now. Not that it isn't deserved- but I'd rather not have a legal case on my hands."
Vox often didn't resort to violence until it was absolutely necessary, in fact- if his counterpart didn't step in he would've already started swinging. Though, he wondered if that would've been a better situation than what they were currently dealing with- especially when a drunkard with a broken hand possibly beyond repair literally got fried in front of them. (Y/N) crouched down and hovered a hand over the man's face before quickly standing up with a cheerful smile, malice hidden in her gaze that Vox didn't even notice in his concern.
"He's still breathing, I'm sure it'll be fine. Thank you for saving me boys~!"
The actress flashed her co-star a million-dollar grin, lightly tugging the collar of his shirt to press a quick kiss to his cheek. She would also do the same to his flatscreen counterpart, giving him a peck on the side of his monitor before happily sauntering over to the bar where Alastor was just casually chilling.
"... Hooooly shit."
Vox was thankful for the flashing multicolored lights on the dance floor, mostly due to the furious red blush his face had soon erupted into. What he didn't notice though was the large red lipstick mark that was left on his face because of (Y/N)'s sweet gesture. He saw it on his counterpart though and couldn't help but chortle. Seems like he didn't really mind that the actress had given his counterpart attention as long as he got some of the same.
"There's uh- something on your face."
