The #GirlBoss movement in the MCU is extremely pseudo-feminist.
I could be totally off-base with this, but has anybody else noticed that here lately the mcu has had a slight pattern of making a few female characters ridiculously overpowered as well as turbo-hyped by the narrative and marketing…
This specifically includes Wanda, Carol Danvers, and Sylvie.
I’m in particular talking about how all 3 of them had far less time for character exploration and strength build-up than the majority of the other more powerful heroes, had fairly bland and uncreative personalities compared to the other more powerful heroes (Wanda was coddled by the narrative and not allowed to have any ownership in her wrongdoings which would’ve made her more complex, Carol was a victim of the “having the same arrogant attitude as the douchebro male characters is all it takes to make a Strong Female Character(TM)” writers’ mentality, and Sylvie with mary sue-ed to hell), and were generally made more about the cool powers and ‘oooh such a badass’ moments and the aesthetic than the actual depth.
My point is… they’re all so shallow and performative. It’s like the (mostly male) writers looked at the female character and scoffed and said “ok there’s no way this lady’s gonna become a fan fave on her own- we have to help her. We have to give her a boost. I have zero faith in women being able to gain popularity by their own merit (because who’d be interested in a woman, ammiright?), so we can’t just give her a compelling backstory and let that be it. We have to make sure she has the most tragic backstory of anyone on screen at any given time, and we have to make sure the audience knows it! We can’t just give her a specific set of powers and depict them in an interesting and unique way. We have to make her stronger than any other character she’s going to share screen time with and we have to have her flaunt her powers every ten minutes to remind the audience how strong she is! We can’t just make her intelligent in her own way and give her witty banter with the male characters. We have to make sure she makes them look like idiots and condescends them as frequently as possible so the audience knows it! We can’t just flesh out her morals and let her get things wrong sometimes. We have to make it so she’s always in the right and the audience should always be on her side! And even when she does something wrong, we have to make sure the audience knows that it wasn’t really her fault and she still has the moral high ground! That’s the only way we’ll ever get people to like her as much as the main male characters!!”
It’s just…. This is just rank with a lack of confidence in women. They approach the idea of having women front and center with equal parts skepticism and greed. They’re so out of touch with what women want in superhero films and just what women want in general. They fall into the trap of thinking feminists want everyone to know that girls are actually superior to guys, when in reality we just want to be treated with the respect and humanity and agency guys have always been treated with.
And by creating these female characters the way they do (making sure they’re not equal but decidedly better than the male ones, making sure they’re nearly infallible strength-wise, making sure they’re never allowed to be held accountable for mistakes) they literally defeat that whole point. They’re being extremely counterproductive to what feminists are actually trying to do, because they aren’t actually interested giving women genuinely good representation- they’re just interested in pandering to Twitter stans and casual female fans who form their opinions based on a first glance and girls who are so starved for rep that they’ll praise movie-makers for serving up rank crumbs.
They give us female representation but not really, just like they give us queer representation but not really, and like they give us poc representation but oftentimes not really…. Because (surprise surprise) the multi-billion dollar corporation does not actually give a shit about minority issues.
#this should not come as a shock to anyone#but unfortunately#I know a good many people who would be shocked to chagrin#young women and young lgbt folks and young poc stop idolising anything that gives you a crumb challenge#Omg Marvel Gave Us All These Badass Women!!!#babe most of those women are cardboard cutouts#Omg Marvel Gave Us A Confirmed Queer Character!!!#babe that was one vague sentence and then they did their best to retcon it by putting him in a heteronormative relationship with himself#Omg Marvel Gave Us These Cool POC Characters#babe most of them are side characters who get 3 lines tops 2 of which are used to build up the white characters#I’m just…. so tired#people are so shallow#negativity#marvel negativity#fake feminism#pseudo feminism#anti wanda maximoff#anti Captain marvel#anti sylvie#anti marvel#marvel meta#marvel discourse#argue with a wall#might do a longer post on this later idk

I wish butch n femme balls existed. Not to b a fucking sap n a massive dyke but wow. Ugh even. Just wanna wear a gown n stilettos n have my honey greet me w a bouquet before we leave n we wear matching or complimentary jewelry n spend hours on my hair and makeup to impress. N then when we get there my honey will spin me around the room for a brief dance before grabbing something to drink, wine for me n whiskey for her, as we chat w other dykes n celebrate butchfemmeness. Or whatever

#if your regular sleep med of choice is Benadryl I’m afraid of you#Idek what my answer is though??? probably melatonin. it helps a lot when I need to fix my sleep schedule#sleep soundly <3333#I also sometimes take ashwaganda if it’s not too expensive or is mixed w other stuff. and drink sleepy teas but not necessarily JUST toslee#I was on olanzapine and that helped my sleep a lot (at the cost of eventually making me feel so so tired during the day)#anyways you must tell me

your older bf!simon who is, potentially, a little too practical
“simon- honey, what the fuck are you doing?”
you hadn’t even shut the car door, half in and half out with a look of total bewilderment on your face
“y’said y’didn’t want dirt in the ‘ouse, so i’m takin’ my kit off outside”
and that he was
on the driveway only in his boxer-briefs with his work gear hanging out the back of his truck
pale skin blinding against the concrete, tattoos and scars for anyone to see
out the corner of your eye, you could see your neighbours curtains shift
“i appreciate that but i didn’t mean for you to get it out for the neighbours!”
now you’d done it
you could see the way his eyebrow quirked as he turned his head towards you, something in his look said you were in for it
“no need t’get jealous-”
didn’t even give you the chance to protest, already herding you inside with a sturdy pat on the ass
“i’ll do the rest jus’ f’you”
#i promise i’m still here! i’m just busy and tired and tired and busy!#anyways- when i say my bf inspires this stuff i mean it! he did this to me the other week!#except we live in the middle of nowhere thank god so nobody saw it#older bf!simon#simon riley x reader#simon ghost riley x reader#simon riley smut#simon ghost riley smut

Jfc so many TikTok dog trainers push this idea that giving your dog attention when they ask for it, getting excited when you come home and letting your dog sleep in you bed causes separation anxiety.
It doesn’t. Research has shown that separation anxiety are caused by factors like genetics, trauma, sudden environmental changes, moving house and other usually completely out of control factors.
Your dog is a goddamn social animal. Social sleeping is natural behaviour, big excited greetings is natural behaviour and seeking social support and interaction is NATURAL BEHAVIOUR. Because you have brought a social living breathing animal into your house and you are their social group.
Withholding attention and being unpredictable or conditional about interacting with a social animal makes you kind of an asshole. Sure, you should set boundaries and your dog doesn’t have to live in your skin either, but don’t let unqualified so-called “professionals” shame you for loving your dog how you choose to love them.
Let them sleep in your bed if you want them to, revel in the joy of an excited dog greeting you when you come home, give your dog pats and cuddles when they seek you for them.
And don’t let anyone tell you that giving social support to a social animal is going to cause them anxiety. Because that is not how anxiety works at all.
(I have a Bachelor degree in Canine Science and am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer)
#I’m tired of seeing this nonsense#so much marketing of dog trainers is based on shame and it’s just disgusting#dogs#dog training#separation anxiety#canine behaviour#animal welfare
