The Hypocrisy of Modern Feminism: The Troll King’s Mission of Exposing It

Ever noticed how modern feminism claims to "fight for equality" but often promotes double standards? For instance, advocating for gender quotas vs. picking the most qualified candidate choices regardless of gender. Let's dive into the ironic world of Modern Feminism where ‘empowerment’ sometimes looks a lot like hypocrisy. Ready to laugh at the contradictions? Join the Troll King in exposing the farce that is Modern Feminism!

Remember folks, if you truly want equality, egalitarianism is king! The Troll King has spoken! 👑

Free the Nipple Comrades

Titties are nuanced, comrades. While men's nipples go free and unnoticed, women’s are hyper-sexualized. It is time to free all nipples and to recognize that breasts, like all body parts, have more than one purpose. Let us challenge the status quo and push for equality in all its forms. As in order to free ourselves we must free all people, brother and sisters alike.

Midnight in Everwood

⭐⭐; reading this book is like letting a kid explain their drawing to you - 'this is the cotton candy castle with a prince and princess and their 29 dogs and cats', they say, pointing to a wobbly blue squiggle and a patch of snot. all you can do is smile and nod and let it happen

Oh?? 👌😉😏

the narration, while over the top, fit the atmosphere the book wanted to create (confectionary sugar world). its probably annoying to listen to as the descriptions dont let up but im good at skimming so i could swim my way through the syrup just fine

i liked the beginning, before the author's hand became too glaringly obvious to ignore later in the plot - while marietta was never entertaining as a main character to follow, she felt more 'real' in her home environment, more believable as a character. i liked her relationship with her brother

I'll say this: finishing this book made me want to rewatch Barbie in the Nutcracker, just to feel something. what a classic! unlike this book 😭

No.. ❌🤢🤮

oversaturated with metaphors and flowery language - enough synonyms, hoity-toity French vocabularié and verbiage to rot your teeth out. it's also an 'oh?? 👌😉😏' point because i do think the author did it on purpose to create a certain tone, but it's A LOT.

i get the distinct sense that the author understands on a surface level that her character is a privileged whiny baby, but doesn't have the writing prowess to make her compelling OR put her through her paces of a satisfying character arc.

#girlboss #modernfeminism #womenarejustasstrongasmen played completely straight. a main female character who stays entirely, pretentiously convinced of their own girlbossery the whole time, despite doing NOTHING to earn it, and an author who reshapes the story to meet those expectations. anything for her #slay #girlboss #queen!!!!!

stuff constantly gets introduced just to not add anything to the story - the mouse king equivalent has in his castle a captured FAIRY and WARRIOR PRINCESS as part of his menagerie of women marietta finds herself a part of, and we just leave it at that. the guard captain is revealed as part of a SECRET REBELLION and all that happens is marietta gets weirdly horny about it.

the romance develops at the most annoying moments - they even decide to fuck in the snow (their bare asses!! in the SNOW!!! and not even a hint of pneumonia to show for it 🥶) before marietta returns to her world. i expected her to be hornt up, but the guy?? my brother in butterscotch we have got to get you better standards in women

Summary: Marietta Stelle wants to dance but she's too damn privileged to be allowed to pursue it as a viable career - she needs to get married to some creepy old man for the sake of her family's ambition, damnit! As her last performance draws near, Marietta is pushed into accepting the marriage proposal of the creepiest man in town, a mysterious toymaker named Dr. Drosselmeier. Of course, she's a #strongfemalecharacter, so she vehemently rejects him - only to fall victim to his (very heavy-handedly hidden) magic, which transports her in a magical world made of sugar, full of hidden dangers.

Concept: 💭💭💭 The Nutcracker isn't my favourite story ever, but I'm a sucker for a good fairytale - and for good music! I think it's a story that lends itself very heavily to a specific kind of whimsical, airy aesthetic - while allowing for darker themes or storytelling aspects to lurk in the shadows. A friend whose taste I trust recommended this book to me, and while I was skeptical that the summary (mostly because the blurb included a list of #tropes, which is a bookish red flag for me) would really deliver on its vague promises, I've done more for less.

Execution: 💥 This book should come with a 'NO DIVING! THIS POOL IS ONLY LESS THAN 1M DEEP' warning - it's so shallow I was encouraging my own reflection to keep going after every chapter. Bafflingly, this issue actually worsens when Marietta gets to the magical isekai world of Everwood - which is the OPPOSITE of what is supposed to happen! You would think a world governed by an evil mouse king (who is not a mouse, just a guy. he has enchanted mice running up and down his coat, ooh scary) and literally made of sweets would be fun, but we only get TOLD the names of its stories and legends and then the book is like 'next chapter! marietta felt more at home because her new friends told her stuff!' Plus, in the latter half of the book you really chafe against the author's lack of skill - like watching a puppet show while clearly being able to see the fingers / hands of the puppeteers, her characters are angry, awestruck, and miserable in the most wooden of ways as the author stomps on the next bullet point in her outline with all the subtlety of an elephant.

Personal Enjoyment: ❤❤ I can't say I enjoyed reading this book, because I really didn't - at one point I had to put the book down after SIX PAGES because marietta was getting on my nerves with her badly timed horniness (which she didn't know was horniness, because that builds ~~tension~~). But I had a LOT of fun recounting this book to my friend (the one who recommended it to me, who then gave up less than 20% in) and my sister. Everything that happened WAS frustrating, but in a way that made me laugh - which is the reason why I kept reading. It was like watching a collision in slow-mo - I had to know where it ended.

Favourite Moment: this entire book was painful but i had a good laugh when marietta and the captain fuck in the snow - and i do mean fuck. ass fully out behaviour. everwood is supposed to be stuck in a forever winter and they were all 'we'll just lay our coats down, it'll be fine'. like, i am absolutely sure it will NOT be fine, but you do you! it's not like marietta 'damn this feminism shit is easy' stelle is gonna listen to anyone anyway. that would be non-feminist! a ho never gets cold!

Favourite Character: Dellara, AKA the remains of a Sugar Plum Fairy equivalent stripped of every possible interesting thing and left on the floor to bleed out as a 'mean girl'. Don't get me wrong, Pirlipata was a fascinatingly underused character too, but Dellara actually snapped at Marietta multiple times (didn't amount to anything, but A+ for effort) and we simply have to stan her for that. Also she endures torture for the sake of others and is an otherworldly immortal being who becomes Queen at the end. I would gladly have thrown Marietta into the path of an oncoming bus to follow Dellara's storyline instead.

I don't read Galaxy's blog because I'm not a shipper. This is the only blog I read. Maybe I should start reading Galaxy since this blog has no problem with body shaming. Maybe she's right about what she says about this blog.

No ones stopping you go ahead you’re just showing that you don’t actually stand for stopping body shaming that your okay with it as long as it’s someone you don’t like #modernfeminism

“Feminism is not lunch boxes saying girls rule the world, it’s girls being payed equal to men. It’s not girls being taught that they’re better than guys, it’s being shown they’re equal. It’s not saying they can do whatever they want, it’s saying there will be some rules that should be broken and some that should be followed. What feminism is, is teaching little girls that they’re special and beautiful and important, but no better than anyone else. And that’s just basic human descenscy.”

Rewilding “When I invited these women to Sassafras a lot of them hadn’t reconciled with wearing dresses. I had these tutus made, these prom-like dresses, these ‘costumes’ of femininity and the first day I asked them to put them on they were red-faced, hiding in the bathroom, feeling that tortured, humiliated feeling. They experienced death in a way: of the ego, of your identity. The next year when I got there they were all already wearing them; two were hiking in their tutus! They had re-appropriated those symbols.” - Cass Bird, Photographer. Cass Bird (b. 1974) has established herself as one of the foremost portraitists of contemporary America. Her photographs of young women and men casually draw attention to the fluid expression of gender roles and androgyny in today’s youth culture and to what she has described as “the convergence of alternative lifestyles with accepted conceptions of motherhood, nurturing and family.” In the summers of 2009 and 2010 Bird traveled to ‘Sassafrass' Tennessee, with a group of young women, a wardrobe of diaphanous dresses and a camera. These women - studio assistants, friends or women cast from the streets of New York - had been selected by Bird for their ease with their sexual identities, but also for their relative awkwardness in front of the lens. The result was 'Rewilding' a joyous portrait of modern femininity and a frolicking celebration of women’s camaraderie. ‘Rewilding’ Photographer, Cass Bird, Published by ‘Damiani Editore’. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #sassafrass #tennessee #modernfeminity #genderroles #androgyny #women #damianieditore #rewilding #cassbird https://www.instagram.com/p/CRlcnrdlCT7/?utm_medium=tumblr

Nuarra, An Idea of Inclusion

The power of Fashion is not only about the clothes. Its about being able to be confident with your body. Nuarra is an inclusive brand that caters to all women from size 02 - 28, it caters to the real woman. I recently met Anita Rehman, who is the founder and the brain behind this brand. She is an Electrical Engineer from Stanford and a Wharton Graduate. She has worked with multiple VCPE firms before she chose to start her own venture. 

Question: I would love to hear what is it that made you switch gears from the world of finance and numbers to the world of fashion Industry? What was it that inspired you?

Anita: I recognised the need in the market for a womens wear company while at VantagePoint Capital Partners where I was an investment professional in the Internet group.   In my research, I was surprised by the lack of attention garnered by the plus-size segment despite its large size and likely growth. Further study revealed that the typical consumer in this market showed a propensity to shop online rather than through  the ‘brick and mortar’ channel.  I was convinced of the significant opportunity in this sector  but it still was a hard decision to leave a steady paying job.  Then one day, I came across the story of Jessica Herrin and Stella and Dot and was so impressed by what she had accomplished with the company.  This served as inspiration for me to face my fears and give entrepreneurship a try.  

Question: In the world of fashion things are very superficial. I mean, we have heard it many times, fashion is frivolous - how did you choose to go against the norm and come up with a brand which is not only beautifully curated to fit american women bodies but has a beautiful mission too?

Anita: Well, I think this came naturally to me.  I spent the first twenty years of my life in India, a society that had in place many structural biases and inequities against women.  As an Indian woman I was not entitled to wish for anything beyond a life of “arranged” marriage and domesticity.  I was successful in breaking through some of these barriers, set my sights on getting into the graduate program at Stanford, and used that as an stepping stone away from my ‘defined’ path.  It was a turning point in my life and taught me the value of questioning the status quo and I became passionate about empowering women.   

~70% of women in the United States are considered plus-size (i.e. they wear clothes above a size 14).  This segment is expected to grow rapidly over the next few years. The plus-size segment was significantly underserved by retailers because they are considered a ‘brand stigma’ and also because of various business and financial limitations.  I saw this as an opportunity to combine my passion for empowering women with my passion to build a business and hence Nuarra was born, where we are proud to offer clothing to Fiercely Real women.

Question: Your Journey. Fashion Industry is a completely different industry. I work for a fashion brand and I understand how much learning  and effort goes into the process. From designing to sourcing to branding to marketing to collaborating to launching. It is a lot of work. What was your journey like?

Anita: Ah, yes!  I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with incredibly talented women who had rich experience in the fashion and retail world.  Katherine Gilpin and Teresa Field (my co-founder) served as my crutches in the initial stages of the company.  Beyond that, we just hit the pavement (literally) and leveraged our network and found what we needed. We drove to Los Angeles to pick up fabric in my SUV, walked the streets of New York to find Italian agents/factories and were finally connected via a New York agent to an Indian factory that manufactured our product. So it took a small village and a lot of helpful people to educate us and to make the company come together.

Question: How do you reach out to your audience? We all know, visual branding is very important in this industry. Research has proved it and as much as I hate to state it, it seems people tend to buy clothes that looks wonderful on unrealistic photoshopped figure. To me, Nuarra is a brand that aspires to create clothes that truly fits bodies and lifestyles of American women, which is very different  than most of the other fashion brands here. I would like to know how did you open that dialogue with your target segment? Do you follow the common norm like most other brands? What is your mantra to put that idea across to your real audience?

Anita: I'm not sure we've nailed this yet. We've tried to use models in the past that were more in the mid size range i.e. sizes 8/10/12 - but since we bootstrapped the company at the beginning we had to sometimes be willing to work with people who were smaller in size.   This is definitely one area of the branding and messaging that we have to work on and will incorporate more real women and real bodies into the mix.  

Question: As we are talking about fashion industry, I  would love to hear what is one of the most beautiful things that happened during your Nuarra journey (other than your beautiful collection)?

Anita: Starting a company is like having a baby - you don't realize how immersive a process it is until you actually do it. For me the most beautiful thing was to learn the resilience of the human spirit.  There were many days when I thought I could not take another step forward but then there were others I had to look out for and the purpose of this company kept me going.

Question: Last words to your audience and people who would love to follow their passion and start something of their own. 

Anita: I realize that everyone is at different stages in their life and with myriad responsibilities. My biggest advice to anyone would be to not ignore your passion. Honor it in any way you can - life is too short to live it 9-5 - and on other people's terms.  Put yourself out there, just move in the general direction of your passion and be bold, light your spark.   You'll be amazed at how uplifted you will feel.
