#my brother the feminist

[dangerousstrawberrypie]

Watching movies with my little brother is the best. Last night we were watching Gaslight and he came up with this gem.:

"This Gregory guy is an idiot. You married Ingrid Bergman! You're rich, you have a huge house, Ingrid Bergman fell in love with you, and you got married! You already won the lottery. But no, you want to get into it with the maid who's also a singing teapot."

this sunday, it was dissapointing to see how easy it was for the boys to run around and get their energy out outside, but for the little toddler girls in impractical frilly puffy dresses and impractical shoes, it's an obstacle for their play.

the girls', clothes are made to be seen in as opposed to being made to be worn, unlike the boys which are still nice for easter but they dont have to trip over the edge of a skirt or dress, or have their shoes fall off or pinch their toes when running, they can move and play freely.

it's a problem too cuz when toddlers don't get that energy out, they get irritable and pitch fits, so then the boys look like easy kids, and the girls difficult. let the girls run around!

female subjugation starts from birth. these girls are praised for being beautiful in their dresses, while also learning they cannot play in them. this correlation will not be lost on them especially as they grow up. "If i want positive attention from the important people in my life (like my congregation), this is what i do." the whole "beauty is pain" narrative, while not incorrect, is often viewed as normal and a justified fact of life, like "beauty IS pain and thats just how it is! oh the things us women go through to look pretty haha!". stop teaching girls that their beauty is WORTH pain, because it's not! they should never sacrifice to look attractive.

if half the congression can dress both formal and practical, so can the other half. don't handcuff little girls to femininity at the cost of their happiness and energy and play.

truly one of the most agonizing parts of wanting to work in the general creative space whether it be as a writer or artist or some other field is like knowing for a fact i have to hack myself up as a person into little pieces and watch as they muse of the texture and flavor and ask if thats notes of rosemary or sage and i just go "its my fucking leg man"

Writing quick drabbles about the obscure blorbos I kept forgetting to write about 1/4

Tw for mild yandere/stalker behavior but its joe so what do you expect. Also I'm still in season 2 so no spoilers.

okay I fully admit that this is incrediby self indulgent but Joe Goldberg obsessing over writer!reader hits so so different. You came into Mooney's looking for a first edition of some obscure book, and the second Joe saw you it was game over. The light in your eyes, the way they sparkle as you scan the shelves and look at the titles has him hooked, but when you ask him if they still have any copies of what you're looking for, you have him hook line and sinker. He never thought he would emet someone as perfect as you, much less someone with such good taste and interest in literature. Then he finds out you write too??? he thinks there needs to be a word stronger than perfect. once he learns more and more about you wthout your knowledge, he doesn't find a single red flag. He worms his way into your life, and before you know it, you're living together and he's the perfect dream boyfriend. He protects your time to write like a dragon protects its hoard. He knows what kind of distractions to eliminate, when to sit with you in silence and when to leave you alone, when to bring you more coffee or tea and encourage you to keep going and when to tear you away from your laptop, insisting you give yourself a break. He'll never pressure you to share anything before you're ready (even though he has access to your google docs or scrivner in the cloud, but don't worry, he's really good at acting like this is the first time he's reading your work when you do show him. He's had plenty of time to hone his reactions and perfectly articulate all the praise he's going to give you.) when you do share your work with him, it makes him feel closer to you than ever. He's notjust getting to see inside the deepest most intimate parts of your mind, but you're letting him. you want him to. you want him, just like he wants you.

My father is an extremely misogynistic, racist and LGBTphobic person. He was always advocating for women and girls getting raped, murdered and tended to think of gays as some otherworldly gross unnatural creatures as that's how he treated them. He is so deeply insecure he sees everyone as beneath him, especially vulnerable groups of people he hates on, and he always would argue when he was proven wrong; when he couldn't handle being wrong he's said before, "well idc if Im wrong because im still right." He also has the belief, stated in his own words, that because he went through abuse growing up that he has a right to abuse others now. Verbatim he said, “idc I was bullied a lot growing up I have a right to bully others now.” He is a grossly childish man who decided to repeat his childhood abuse and probably parental relationships with his wife and kids. He's stuck in his childhood abuse and by the time I was 15/16 I knew what my issues were, was very honest with myself and knew to work on generational trauma. I was older than a 50 year old man by the time I was 15/16.

I haven't watched the new episode of MAWS yet, but clearly Lois and her foreshadowing of trauma mean instead of going the Danny Phantom path, she's going with the usual trope of "Getting mad at someone I barely know for keeping a secret that they have every right to keep." that seems ubiquitous to all super hero romance.

And I think it's fine as a flaw? But she's the one who needs to end up apologizing. With maybe a discussion about the closet.

I want to see her recognize that she's projecting her trauma onto Clark and it being shown as a flaw on her part. Because it absolutely is a justified flaw that makes sense for her.

It is not a flaw on Clark's part (yet) . and I'm tired of the trope where it's always resolved with the hero being like. "You're right we're friends so I should never keep secrets from you *ever*" cause that's not how the real world works.

I'd like to see this resolved with her apologizing. and for recognizing Clarks flaw, maybe him unthinkingly lying to her about it after she already knows he's superman.
