I’m not sure what “feminism” has come to but friendly reminder that PUBLICLY interrogating your friend about all of the most private, intimate, details of her personal sex life while she is trying to have a relaxing afternoon by a pool is not exactly revolutionary feminist activism. Especially not when every woman has different experiences and trauma and many women struggle with self esteem.

Seriously one of my friends did this yesterday to my other friend and publicly mocked and bullied her for being “sexually frustrated” because she hasn’t had a penis inside of her yet by a public pool where the sound echoes off of the concrete and anyone can hear everything!

She then said “I love feminism! I love that we can talk about this!” No you are not being a sex positive feminist you are publicly embarrassing your friend!!!

Watching “Sex and the city” really convinced a generation of women that being a rich straight white woman in a big city who has friends she over shares about her private life with is inherently what “feminism” looks like 🙄

All this does is make women compete against each other for experiences with men and it is fucking WEIRD and INVASIVE and DISRESPECTFUL and SOCIALLY INEPT and fucking RUDE! It was none of her fucking business to be publicly invasive like that. Can we bring back social propriety???? Do men talk to each other like this????

Women today think this is “feminism” while we still don’t have maternity leave, childcare, etc!!! And sex education and contraception is under attack!

It’s not lost on me that when someone talks about how “Beyoncé is overrated” or that she’s “not that talented” I’m supposed to respect other people’s music opinions, but if I say Taylor Swift’s music isn’t my style or I don’t care for her that much it’s like I said the most heinous thing in the world and I don’t support other women.

Amazing support for Amber in Paris, France this week.  The two phrases in French read “Support for Amber Heard” and “Amber Heard, you are not alone”.

So what's for me this Christmas 🎄❤️‍🔥🥹🌹

I jokingly thought before that reading Junie B. Jones as a kid turned me into a feminist, but unironically, it kind of did.

I honestly think it comes down to the fact that Junie B. was not only allowed to be "weird," but her character arc never concluded like other girl characters would. In other media featuring "weird girls," the girl always ended her arc tamed - by force or convince, she would be prettied up, she would smile and be polite, and she would never speak out of turn. She would be perfect then, and would shed her veneer of individuality with the freedom that is conformity. As a kid, I noticed that girls weren't permitted to be "weird" like boys were. So when I read Junie B. Jones, I loved that she was frankly just fucking weird. She said things out of turn, she was rambunctious and imaginative and she was a realistic portrayal of a little girl. I loved reading those books because the narrative taught her lessons without punishing her for being weird, if that makes sense. So often, narratives punished weird girls for the crime of being a socially unacceptable girl, not for any true wrongdoing like lying.

Anyway, I just think it's interesting, because I watched and read a ton of books and shows and movies featuring girls and women, but none of them truly empathized with (or even tried to empathize with) weird girls on their own merits and capabilities and terms, or embraced the idea of a "socially inept/unacceptable" girl without punishing her in some way for her supposed ineptitude.

I feel like I’m beating a dead horse when I talk about how “Better Than Revenge” is an important part of Taylor’s discography. It acts as a point that you can trace her own growth from (as well as society’s) and it’s also just an interesting artifact from the 2010s that tells what the culture was like. I don’t understand how some people can immediately push it away without realizing that it is indicative of something so much bigger than Taylor herself and look at it from a cultural perspective.

2023 truly is the year for people who want to fuck Bowser and Ganondorf.

2023 is the year of sexualizing the hell out of video game antagonists and I’m absolutely here for it. Bowser and Ganondorf are sluts and it’s about time Nintendo acknowledged that.

Mandy Moore in 2002:

Stars in “A Walk to remember” which is a surprisingly sensitive and realistic portrayal of being a religious teen girl who is ruthlessly bullied and has badly photoshopped ironic porn of her spread throughout her school to mock and shame her for not having a penis inside of her yet. She also loves studying science especially astronomy because science doesn’t inherently conflict with her faith and she LITERALLY DIES OF CANCER at the end.

Mandy Moore in 2004:

Stars in “Saved!” Which is a mean spirited, condescending, patronizing, bad faith satire of religious girlhood where OF FUCKING COURSE a religious girl gets pregnant as a teen after a failed attempt at converting a gay boy. Her pregnancy is later publicly revealed to the whole world without her consent to mock and humiliate her because come on isn’t that funny guys????? Mandy Moore is NOT the one who gets pregnant but is one of the religious bullies.

Teen girls just can’t win can they? Make it make sense Mandy Moore 🙄. You’re either bullied for being a sexually repressed prude or you’re fetishized as a porn category or called a hypocrite for having sex.

Keanu Reeves performing at Saint Rocke in Hermosa Beach, CA - August 10, 2023

radfem question!!

i'm having a conversation with someone about female only spaces (this specifically pertains to bathrooms) and they said that the rule of having female-only bathrooms would "act more like an enforcement of femininity more than anything else."

I think their point is about butch lesbians and/or women who present "masculinely," and so because there is ofc no female identification at the door, and policy would likely just make it more acceptable for women and girls to report if there was a male in the bathroom (without having to determine if the male identifies as a woman), this could end up hurting "masculine"-presenting women (implying that they could be mistaken as male), and in turn just reinforce femininity. Thoughts? (mine are in tags)

I Feel like sucking some d like right now 🍭🍆💦 🤤

Too many chainsaw man essays read the text as anti sex or subverting horniness or blah blah blah it's about respecting women. Chainsaw "I'll make money letting girls use me as a chair" Man is horny most of the time and, despite everything that happened, still wants to be an obedient dog to a master

I just find it very interesting that all the labour classed as lesser (most often seen as "women's labour") becomes indispensable in moments of crisis. It's just interesting to see how quickly people turn to that labour and then discard it in moments of peace or prosperity, devaluing it until another crisis hits.
