#no one likes a mad woman

[feminist-cult-following]

what I love about cassandra is that it has so many different interpretations. because as dark as it is, most women experience that feeling. the feeling of being absolutely alone despite being right. the desperation that comes with having your voice silenced. the witch hunt that ensues when you dare speak your mind.

“when it’s ‘burn the bitch’, they’re shrieking / when the truth comes out it’s quiet” is such an amazing line for this reason. everyone would rather jump to the conclusion that a woman is a manipulator and a liar because it’s easier than holding an awful man accountable. and when it comes out that she’s right, because it almost always does, people go on with the tails tucked between their legs, too proud to admit they were wrong.

women are repeatedly sacrificed at the altar of men’s reputations and were expected to sit there and take it with a stiff lip and a smile. that’s what this song is about and that’s why it’s top 5 on the album for me.

Taylor wrote Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me for the Mad Woman girlies

Listening to folklore but acting like I'm in my reputation era so people don't mess with me.

Yes, I'm a mastermind.

"No one likes a mad woman

You made her like that" - Taylor Swift.

I carry the anger of the women who came before me

Pent-up, slowly built-up

Steadily rising from the flame of injustice

One day

You will all witness the wrath of a million mad women

[itsheroinethistime]

AND WOMEN LIKE HUNTING WITCHES TOO

DOING YOUR DIRTIEST WORK FOR YOU

ITS OBVIOUS THAT WANTING ME DEAD HAS REALLY BROUGHT YOU TWO TOGETHER!!!

Something, something about Taylor "there's nothing like a mad woman" Swift saying “I respond to extreme pain with defiance” to go on and have her absolute best year ever in 2023 and now her rerecordings are worth more than the stolen versions

Epic the Musical AU

An au that begins after Aphrodite wins the golden apple and she shows Paris what is basically a magic video recording of Helen, telling him about his future bride.

However, in this magic video recording Helen is spending time with Penelope, and Paris goes "forget that Helen chick, I want that one."

And Aphrodite just goes with it, so instead of kidnapping Helen, Paris and Aphrodite kidnap Penelope, and a baby Telemachus to help them better control Penelope.

Odysseus is rightfully murderous, and even if he doesn't have the benefit of a treaty to get all of the Greeks on his side, he is still able to strong arm and lie his way into getting that massive army to besiege Troy and get his wife back.

And over in Troy Penelope is making the situation as insufferable for Paris as she possibly can, she will cause all of the problems until she can get back home safely with her son.

This au would be called Penelope of Troy.

Wut and Sol said they could give Joe some money out of kindness, and Joe could pay them back whenever.

Ming said he would give Joe whatever he wanted in exchange for Joe's body because Ming is selfish.

Joe taking Ming's deal is the most relatable moment I've had with Joe because I, too, would pick the devil I already know. Mixing finances with friends is always dicey, and he would still owe them. With Ming, it's business and he doesn't have to worry about ruining a friendship. He can hate Ming, but as long as Ming runs him his money, he'll continue to do his job because this is just another stand-in job.

Joe is really saying "sex work is work"

And I respect that.

Some fans: Eloise is such a fake feminist, doesn't she see how some girls and women enjoy marriage? Doesn't she see how her privileges give her luxuries others don't? She's so selfish. She doesn't even use her words to support other women!

Also same fans: I wish Eloise would stop talking, like her speaking about feminism at every turn is getting old. Can't she just be quiet and let everyone enjoy the fun? Like yeah talking about women's lack of personhood without a male figure in society, or how they can't go to university, or how sometimes they marry men who will only hurt them but need to for their status is sad to see, but THE ROMANCE-

God the idea of baeddelism is for trans mascs on the internet what trans bathroom predators is for cis people. It’s a meaningless moral panic against an enemy that doesn’t actually exist but is used to push away trans women. The panic about it is pure misogyny, placing the blame on women while ignoring the much more prevalent inter community issue of misogynistic trans men who are often the ones pushing the rhetoric of baeddelism as an actual issue to be concerned about.

"This historical figure who was born as a woman and lived the rest of her life as a man isnt transgender and shes not a man she was an oppressed woman who pretended to be a man in order to pursue her dreams under intense patriarchy" listen i understand what the line of logic here is and i know that applying modern labels to figures who lived and died before these words and concepts were invented or popularized is a dangerous game but if this dude not only lived his life as a man but insisted that he be referred to as a man and went off on people who misgendered him and had an entire love life where all of his lovers would also refer to him as a man and was adamant that his body not be examined postmortem as so not to be retroactively defined by his genitals and wished to still be recognized as a man after his death i feel like at the very least you could respect his wishes to be referred to and seen as a man and leave the 'born female' thing to be an interesting tidbit at most instead of the fact about him you parade around

hm. idk, maybe the reason Luke Newton isn't announcing new projects or posting any Bridgerton content is because some of you demons treated him like hot trash instead of a creative that you wanted more work from and he decided fuck it, this isn't worth the stress. you know, like a lot of creatives who get mistreated do?

like this is a man who went from couch surfing in a friend's house and bartending to make ends meet, deciding that the Bridgerton audition was the last one he'd do before he quit, to suddenly being recognized on the street because that last audition propelled him to star in a global show where fans who have zero media comprehension blamed him for his character's actions and literally stalked him at any hotel he happens to stay at. he went from being a dude doing musical theatre and shopping at thrift stores and recording random songs with friends and posting silly memes on Twitter to being harassed on his only social media page and his friends insulted and his partners bullied by his supposed 'fans' and anything he posts being so microanalyzed that he can't do a damn thing without someone coming out the woodwork screaming about how he's the WORST and won't he think of the FANS!?

like damn he can't have a girlfriend without being harassed, he can't travel without being harassed, he can't like or not like social media posts without being harassed, he can't post a fucking MEME without being harassed, he can't take a vacation or cut his hair or hold someone's hand or just live his life without being blamed for some bullshit or another. but yeah, okay, 'when will Luke Newton come back?' as if it isn't your fault he's AWOL now
