#it’s gonna be very feminist

[noe-clara69]

Could possibly be working on an aftg gender swap fic (aftg where everything is the same except Neil and the twinyards are girls)

Anyways, having difficulty figuring out what Neil’s name should be

Lmk if you have more ideas and I’ll make a new poll

"feminism is about equality!!" feminism has always been and always will be about women's liberation first and foremost; "equality", in some contexts, is just its natural consequence.

this means that if sometimes feminism is going to prioritize women's well-being in society over males' status/role, then so be it. as a matter of fact actually males' role in society hurts their human development so blablabla feminism can be for them too if you feel too sad at the idea of leaving them behind. i dont care.

thing is feminism isn't supposed to care about hurting men's feet to find its place in the world. theyll survive i promise you. and if they want to cry be emotional or whatever fucking oppression they think they have, they can fight the status quo (not feminism) to free themselves.

but it's not a feminist's job.

women will literally accuse women and esp lesbian circles of "not unpacking ""man-hating""" alleged ""misandry" sweetie xo" getting offended ppl aren't appropriately uplifting how "men are amazing and awesome and attractive and i won't be shamed for thinking so" as if appreciating men is a real counter opinion than blame whatever gave women of every sexuality instance to be jaded weary cautious and tired and who'll complain every now and then and continue on with her life until she dies putting up with patriarchy. just welcome to the "woke" internet where misogyny's over and "man-hate" "shamed for not hating men" is worth springing to defences for

yeah i've only seen people talk like men's rights activists and think they're being unbelievably progressive on tumblr it's kind of fascinating. like i can see how seeing people hate on men could mess with people and stuff but you can't demand men appreciation posts that's literally the whole world outside of idk your tumblr dash (or even on your tumblr dash because fandom misogyny from people who think they're not misogynistic at all is really something). men get praised for "babysitting" their own kids like be serious? it's very let men be masculine

i don't think being like men are soooo gross and we hate them is actually constructive and it can definitely veer into transphobia (you'll always be a man/"a male" and thus a danger to women/why would you ever want to become a man they're the enemy and the bane of society etc) and homophobia relatively quickly?

but the way people ON TUMBLR ""combat that"" is often so off to me like if the most basic feminist principles offend you then i'm not really sure where to go from here. i remember seeing a post that was like "men aren't your enemy. they're your friend/brother/father/colleague/neighbor" with a lot of notes and like i don't know how to tell you this but that's literally who's most likely to harm a woman, the men she knows?😭 and obviously not every system of oppression is exactly the same but would you say the same thing to someone criticizing white people like...just very weird

i think women who are attracted to men and dating them making jokes about how they only tolerate being attracted to men because they have no choice and especially the whole i'm bi so i love every woman and only find 1 in a 1000 men attractive (very often said while in a relationship with a man) thing is obnoxious and annoying for like everyone who has to hear it lmao but also when women who date men make jokes about it (not about them being ugly or unattractive or whatever but about them being bad partners in general) it's like. what else are they going to do like you said they're gonna endure patriarchy for the rest of their lives and as girlfriends/wives/mothers they go through the most it's very bleak? idk. it's not like you can date a better man yourself out of patriarchy

of course men aren't a all as bad as the worst guy you can imagine and they're not all out to get you or whatever but saying things like "men don't all benefit from the patriarchy rich men benefit from the patriarchy but jake, 23, is not oppressing you" is like. kind of insane. jake, 14, was oppressing me like have you never interacted with boys in school😭 and it's not like it was entirely their fault we all have to outgrow misogyny it's just you know society etc but some of them never outgrow it lmao and just...the takes you see on feminism on tumblr are astounding i hate it here

[thaliajoy-blog]

Thinking of the whole discourse in hotd around who should be queen/king..like going back to even the beginning like Visenya should have been the main monarch or Rhaena daughter of Aenys should have been his successor and then Aerea, Rhaenys, Rhaenyra and on and on for every case and like, on principle I agree. But like each time it bitterly reminds me that even if its progress it's still within the confines of a feudal monarchy that has authority over the masses through their violence and like...it's kind of a a "yeah we get to have female tyrants now, gender-inclusive feodality" cause at the end of it yeah you did replace a bad law by a better one with good opportunities for change but ultimately...it's still firstborn child of an hereditary dynasty taking control and being 99% of the time relatively detached from the intererests of the people they rule & very much incentivized to keep their own power, priviledges & dominion standing.

“i’m a girls girl but also a hater” shut up shut up shut up 😭

[yourmoonmomma]

Jayson & I watched Barbie last night. I thought it was a silly lil movie, one of the ones where you can laugh and cringe about the over the top relatable experiences.

But Jayson CRIED at the end?!?! And then I go online and a LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CRYING?!? And talking about how it hit em in the mommy issues department, or reminded them of the mother-daughter connection?!?!

All this movie taught me is that my job should also be Beach. I think my mother fucked me up in a way different way than some of these Barbie girlies moms did.

[tahwarts]

i think ppl kinda miss the point of why pink femme girl power aesthetics are empowering to some women, and this isnt specifically about the barbie movie bc i havent seen it so idk how its gonna pull the whole thing off, but it has definitely sparked a lot of discourse around this. but its not about "telling girls its ok to be feminine" because of course the society already pushes femininity onto women. its just that women are devalued, and women are devalued no matter what they do, however femininity is FOR women and it is because of that association with women that femininity is also devalued (regardless of gender, but even when performed by women). it is an expectation, but it is taken for granted. like for example it is expected for women to do makeup and care about fashion, however it is simultaneously taken as something shallow and frivolous to have as an interest or hobby, and people who point out that it actually takes a lot of skill and artistry are dismissed and brushed off. and again this is a skill that is just expected that all women will have! and celebrating femininity, in for example movies like legally blonde, is saying that no, there is inherent value in this thing, there is inherent value and skill and use in having traditionally feminine hobbies, feminine women had to work and femininity doesnt make someone lesser. and when we accept these as their own skills, hobbies, interests, hopefully we can also separate them from womanhood, and we can accept women as, yknow, their natural state. femininity is an action and it has value but women should damn well opt out of it if they want to.

ive been disillusioned with a lot of the left for a while, it's nice to at least see that other ppl see it now, though the reason why kinda fucking sucks.

[fallinginloveoh]

[edsheerankinnie]

Being a swiftie rn is so hard like. Maybe you are Wretched. Maybe you are Fearsome. Maybe you are Wrong.

@taylorswift SPEAK NOW🍉🇵🇸

[infectiouspiss]

oh they were a supermega fan. what the fuck

[maddy-ferguson]

it kind of sends me that even though they've been the main enemy on tumblr for like 10 years now people on here seem to have no idea what terfs actually believe????

[autismmydearwatson]

Why is my "stop calling Queen Jezebel a feminist icon she was a genocidal antisemite" post so controversial

[a-a-a-anon]

as a white billionaire for taylor swift to write she would wish she lived in "the 1830s but without all the racists" is insane because it makes it sound so quaint 😭 you're talking about a time of slavery, genocide of populations and cultures, and colonialism which provided the groundwork for the society in which someone like taylor swift can enjoy her success today. and where she can enjoy the freedom to date and romanticize racist losers. it's giving 0 self awareness. it's like she put a little thought into the imagery of "getting married off for the highest bid" line but when it comes to address racism she makes it sound like there were a few bad apples and not institutional racism (that she would've benefitted from) 💀

[hard--headed--woman]

?? isn’t it a bit dramatic. isn’t it fucking dramatic. like is it really what oppression, discrimination and systemic violence are for you? wow you're lucky.
