“The lesbian gaze meant that there was a contemplation, a restraint, a sincerity and a warrior quality, you might say. This lesbian look was compelling. While your heterosexual woman model might compel the rest of the world to look at her, a lesbian was addressing you.”

- Honey Lee Cottrell, and her shot of Ms Leather 1981 Rachael Williams

Sometimes old posts get new life and the reemergence of this one reminded me that I have a stash of Ye Qianyu paintings. The artist often has a series of paintings of the same gesture but the colours vary giving a wide range of combinations for the simple bordered sarees that he tends to favour. Apart from this there are varying styles - printed blouses, ruffle sarees, ghaghra choli ensembles etc. And the showcasing of hair ornaments and alta on hands and feet.

the reason people are so resistant to like.... actually once and for all throwing away the "male traits, female traits, womanhood is [something random/ poetic/whatever], etc etc" gender essentialist shit is because that would involve some form of acceptance that there is no way to exist as a person without being capable of harm + no identity on earth you can claim that protects you from causing harm to others, & there are so many younger people on here who, on some serious level beyond just in-community joking, believe that they can trust you & you're inherently a kinder person just based on your sexuality or mental illnesses or whatever. on here fighting and calculating how much damage they "actually" did based on who can "really" hurt who literally like its the pokemon type effectiveness chart

Saying girls who don’t perform femininity are doing it for the boys and doing it because they don’t want to be like other girls and girls who reject femininity are doing it out of hatred of other women and their own selves is actually extremely misogynistic to suggest. I have no idea when and how this became the dominant feminist POV

i love this fake-left thing of being like “hm turns out that academia is full of the same biases the rest of society has because academia is a part of society and not independent from it, so i guess simply everything a scientist has ever said is a complete fucking lie and no assertion should require any evidence to substantiate it, which means that there’s literally no way whatsoever to refute QAnon besides saying that you don’t like it”. its really cool. i love it when we popularize the totally-not-dangerous idea that things are true just because some people say they are. i see no way in which this could possibly benefit the extremely conspiracy theory-prone far-right.

I’m afraid to ask this, but what is bimbotok?

I truly do not have the braincells to spare BUT here is an article about the meme (women proudly identifying as bimbos on tiktok, and making it a leftist reclamation thing). Here’s a much more concise tiktok example that’ll give you the idea.

We owe all the gay men and women who came before us an incalculable debt for living in the world they did and still making art, writing poetry, taking pictures of themselves loving the people they loved. Please love each other just as fiercely as they must have looked to the future and loved us.

men are not “naturally” or “biologically” abusive and if you think that then you are no better than the bioessentialists and terfs you seem to hate <3

Luke Gilford spent four years immersing himself in LGBTQ+ rodeo culture – and discovered a world where steer-roping meets lip-sync battles and camp glamour

men rly created gender roles to validate their hatred, mistreatment, & abuse of women and still ask women to change their shitty diapers for them when they fail to meet their own standards. 

y’all invented the game, wrote the rules, stole all the game pieces, have been cheating the entire time, and STILL want women to baby you when you lose? choke.
