hi! if you feel inspiration for it (and you haven’t done so already) the blurring of lines between friendship and being in love from someone? like when does it cross from platonic to something more, or being completely platonically in love with someone to the point where it feels like romance? if that makes sense lol

Rachel Vorona Cote, The Art of Loving and Losing Female Friends

[liminalweirdo]

Women, long regarded as the lodestars of excess, are eyed like shape-shifters with the power to transform into Medusa. But I've since realized that there is power in what others call monstrosity. Our refusal to abide, to prioritize the comfort of the West's hegemonic governance, lays bare the rickety scaffolding of culture's so-called behavioral norms. The roots of rules are never so deep that they cannot be wrenched from the soil; man-made boundaries remain at the mercy of the creatures who erected them. For when we are Too Much — and when we refuse to apologize for that — we burst against those walls and marvel as they give way like sand.

Rachel Vorona Cote, Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today

[jessabessamessa]

"I had begun, and where I so often return - to melancholy and resignation, to the gut-churning to fear that I will never be capable of living in the world properly, and that I will always, at last, wear out my friends, lovers, even family because I cannot help but be utterly myself: a brimming body of conflicted, burning feeling."

-Too Much: How Victorian Constraints Still Bind Women Today, Rachel Vorona Cote

But it smells like my mother, like the memory of white flowers, and my mother smells like home.

Narratives of female self-mutilation, conversely, tend to veer towards self-abnegation and self-annihilation. During the Middle Ages, female martyrs would mutilate themselves to safeguard their chastity. Saint Wilgefortis, betrothed without her consent and plagued by her father's sexual advances, starved herself while praying for God to divest her of physical charms. As she became evermore emaciated, Wilgefortis's body grew a coating of hair, and a beard sprouted from her chin. Her royal fiancé, aghast at the effects of her asceticism, spurned her, and her father—brutal and enraged—ordered her crucifixion. As she died on the cross, Wilgefortis referred to "the passion that encumbrances all women" and beseeched women to pray through her to be delivered from vanity and erotic desire. In the mid-16th century, according to some accounts, the precocious Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi clandestinely fit herself with a crown of thorns and began whipping herself when she was only 10 years old to practice religious self-abnegation. Ten years later she had joined a convent and restricted her diet to bread and water—this dietary order, she said, had come from God himself. She continued to self-flagellate, sometimes in public, in order to banish the demons purportedly plaguing her. She coaxed the convent novices to whip her, too, and to stand on her mouth. Sometimes she burnt her skin with hot wax. When, at 37, she lay battered and swollen on her deathbed, she admonished her sisters not to touch her, lest they be visited with sexual longings. The cases of Saint Wilgefortis and Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi are extreme, but they're far from isolated. As scholar Robert Mullen notes, 88 percent of those who bore wounds believed to be connected to Christ were women. "The prevailing Christian acceptance was that the stigmatic blood 'not only purged the woman of her sin but also saved her fellow Christians' by compensating for sins through substituted atonement," he writes. These holy women, then, were both vessels of contamination and vehicles of spiritual deliverance, blessed in their squalor.

Rachel Vorona Cote, “The Misogynistic History of Trying to Understand Women Who Self-Harm”

[thedownfallofamerica]

No but seriously women aren’t taken seriously as villains on their own, and there’s also an unspoken rule that women and femme people don’t get to be scary or viscous or violent or evil because it’s unsettling and uncomfortable. Even in horror there’s a lot of constraints female characters fall under on what they can and can’t be.

Thinking about how there are so few women villains in horror (only when it is explicitly about her sexuality; Carrie, Teeth, Jennifer's Body), but through demonic posession women get to act violent and wreak havoc among the living,,
