#babe if that was the cheat code to escape misogyny we'd have done it already
Text
I think we should stop saying Paul was basically a woman and start saying Ringo was basically a woman, not because it's any less stupid but because it's exactly as stupid and much much funnier
#i don't mean people who say it as a joke that's fine#but there was a time like 2-3 years ago when “Paul was socially and politically treated as a woman” was a serious take people said out loud#honestly the period immediately post get back was a really weird time in this fandom#anyway I'd argue that being emotionally neglected as a child and never developing the ability to recognize your own emotional needs#effectively losing the ability to advocate for yourself#and developing a substance abuse problem to cope with the depression you don't know you have#bc the men around you express their pain so loudly theres no room for you to be anything but okay#is the most quintessentially female experience of any of the Beatles#except they were all men and were all treated like men and that impacted their lives which impacted who they were as people#and denying that bc paul seems kinda girly is so weirdly reductive and somehow also sexist#as if men who express some feminine traits are “basically women” or treated as women#and not as men who express feminine traits#annoys me particularly bc of all the stupid well intentioned advice to women that if you act like a man you'll be treated as one#babe if that was the cheat code to escape misogyny we'd have done it already#but slightly gnc cis people aren't treated as the opposite gender they're treated as slightly gnc cis people#op#paul mccartney#ringo starr#ranting in the tags sorry
