One thing i desperately want all feminists to stop doing is explaining to everyone, especially men, why a woman is victim in any man vs woman case just to give them a blameless reason for your support to her. You should support women regardless of whether she’s a victim or not simply because she is a woman, and also because you shouldn’t care about male victims.

Men always victimise themselves because they expect women to show them sympathy but would worship their pathetic, ugly, criminal male idols, mocking their female victims. And they easily get away with it. It’s because everyone thinks men can be immoral whenever they want but women should always have morals and support what’s right.

This is why they always blame and question women for choosing to support other women but they never question men for supporting men because, according to them, men can behave like the internally corrupt garbage they are but women should think wisely before making a decision.

This is another misogynistic tactic both liberal leftists and right-wing conservatives use to later insert the victimisation of men because they believe women will most definitely give up to male tears because we are empathetic, loving and caring. But surprisingly, if we turn out to be men-haters, bold, and unkind instead they portray us as horrible people and continue barking at us until we become silent or switch sides.

This is misogynistic gaslighting. Don’t let them guilt-trip you for not being on the "right side". When you put the fact that a woman is a victim as your primary reason to support her in your explanations, you are doing exactly that; assuring them that it’s the innocent one that you care about and not the woman. It becomes convenient for the perpetrators and their supporters to use their very old gaslighting tactics to make you look bad and stupid for choosing the "wrong victim".

It’s not wrong to explain why women are always the victims, but speak facts when you’re preaching to a sensible audience and not when you’re trying to prove something to these worthless, male-worshipping idiots.

Your primary reason to support a woman should always be the fact that she is a woman. Let them know this! It doesn’t matter who's right or wrong, it doesn’t matter who’s innocent or perpetrator, it doesn’t matter if it’s sexist and unfair to men, it doesn’t matter if it’s misandristic or whatever. Misandry should always exceed your sense of morality. That’s the WISEST decision you could make in your life.

SUPPORT WOMEN!!!!!!! Also HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

It saddens me that we can turn our backs on a person without caring how it can effect them.

Kat did the right thing by leaving and not allowing herself to be hated but it's sad that this has to happen. The LAES(TSBS community in general)community is unfortunately INCREDIBLY toxic when it comes to women or female characters.

I've been a fan of Kat for many years(before the SAMS or LAES) and seeing people hate on her for her VA work or writing is just depressing. I hope this community can learn that the VAs and writers behind these shows are STILL PEOPLE.

Misc

Characters:

Earth(Lunar and Earth show)

Derpy(Osto & Derpy Adventures)

Kat(The Vampire's bride)

Time taken:Nearly 6 hours

Gift for: @queenkatluv

I hope as a community we can do better and stop attacking people and characters for get being women.

I support people doing whatever they want with fiction, including fujoshi here, y’all are loved and safe on my blog however there’s a certain type of fujoshi that makes me uncomfortable

It’s those kind of people who let their internalized misogyny bleed into their fandom hobbies and shit on female characters for “getting in the way” of their ship or just generally being a “not like other girls” because understand this, I’m very pro women as much as I am proship

In Praise of Tom Hiddleston and Female Directors

As a female director (albeit of Theater and not Film) I have been feeling a little frustrated once again as awards season brings no nominations for women. This led me (as many things do, lol) to thinking about my favorite Muse, Tom Hiddleston.

One of the things that I love about TH is willingness and enthusiasm to work with female directors, and on thinking about it I realized that this allyship has also benefited him as well. Case in point:

1. His first movie, Unrelated, was directed by Joanna Hogg. Now, of course all of us see Hiddles as the perfect Beautiful Boy but imagine if this movie had been directed by a man. In that case, Oakley, the handsome younger man who charms and tempts the 40 something woman, would almost certainly be cast with some young beef cake actor, or at very least had them bulk up in order to play the role. This is who male directors seem to think we desire. Instead, Hogg casts TH and boy does she sell him. Oakley is a little shit, but the way he is lit, framed, directed makes him all but irresistible. The female gaze sees all of his ethereal beauty and shares it with us.

2. Next we have my personal favorite, Henry V in The Hollow Crown. In his big leading episode, Tom is once again directed by a woman, Thea Sharrock. Again, look at how his is shot. The female gaze follows him riding in like a hero from our collective imagination in his opening shot. He is strong and dangerous, savage even at times, without ever loosing that thread of empathy that Henry struggles to clamp down. And do I even have to mention the proposal scene? Watch that and tell me it isn’t pure wish fulfillment for the majority of people who fancy men. I liked him when I watched Loki, but Hollow Crown made me fall so deep down the rabbit hole that I may never climb out again (and honestly, I’m okay with this).

3. Lastly, we come to the role that pushed him over the edge into superstardom, The Night Manager. Can there be any doubt that this miniseries was directed by a woman? The entire show was an advertisement for how gorgeous he is. Yes, there are some lovely shots of Elizabeth Debicki in various states of undress, but Pine is the major eye candy here. See him in finely tailored suits, see him astride a motorcycle, see him bathing, both in a waterfall and in a shower covered in mud, see his much lauded English countryside looking all round and pert... it just goes on and on. It is not just the visual that Susana Biers gets either. Unlike other spies of film and television, Jonathan is emotional, chivalrous, and above all intelligent. Tom nails the role and the world loved him for it.

I am not saying that male directors do not make Tom look good (hello Conrad’s arms) or play to his strengths (see the psychological beauty of Adam). I just believe there is something to be said for the qualities that female directors can bring out. 

In short (ha, sorry, this ran on looooong, lol) Tom trusts women directors more than many of his fellow actors, and I think the results are that he shows a vulnerability in his work that helps make him more than just another action star. Women have helped make him the actor he is today, and I don’t believe the fact that his last two directors were women is an accident. He said in his interview for Leading Lady Parts that he needed to work with more directors (he had worked with five at that point I believe) and he has been as good as his word. Another reason to love this man.

* I also want to make a special shout out to stage director Josey Rourke, who has the career that I want and gave us this amazing contribution:

I don’t believe in "Innocent until proven guilty" when it comes to men accused of committing sexual crimes against women. Idc whether the victim is lying or not or whether she can prove it or not. She has my full support and that man should be brutally killed immediately because he is GUILTY EVEN IF "PROVEN" INNOCENT.
