went into The Bell Jar tag to reblog a few quotes, maybe even some artsy edits and all I found were a bunch of completely unrelated desaturated images of conventionally pretty skinny white women in objectifying outfits and poses... and diet Cokes?? I thought the feminist interpretation of the harmful constraints of feminity was the most relevant possible interpretation of this book but apparently, it's not?? what the fuck is a coquette????

#how the fuck are y'all using female depression for whatever this shit is #it's one thing to make jokes to cope and dark humour #but turning it into a profitable consumerist male-gazy aesthetic #is just so tone-deaf and disrespectful wtf #I'm being very 'old man waves cane at the sky' rn #but seeing a contorted lingerie model in the book tag gave me an aneurism #the bell jar #I'm so sorry Sylvia #feminism #rant #radical feminism
