Feminine Media: Manly men can be fans of it too

Now that I’m calmer, I want to explain myself a bit better because I am both a woman webcomic author and the mother of a son.

Women have been making opinions on men’s media for years and still are. We have even come to accept that a lot of these women are genuine fans of the medias like Transformers, He-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Robocop and more, so when they make an opinion now, it is heard out and respected. Yes, some sexist people still dismiss our words, but the norm is that we are allowed to say what we want about anything we want. Heck, even when we do run into sexist backlash, people defend us including other men.

Why do we not give men the grace and the same faith when they form opinion even negative ones about women’s media or when they feel put down by a media? When I was growing up, I was side by side with a lot of anime fans who adored shows like Sailor Moon because it made them laugh and they genuinely loved the characters and storytelling. And this also extends to North American media like the Disney princesses, Jem and Holograms, My Little Pony and Barbie when she’s animated. And not just because the girls were hot. In fact, that was secondary. It was because the media was fun to watch. Even now, a lot of boys like Minnie’s Bow-Toons because it’s fun, colourful and makes them laugh. Yes, it is clearly feminine, but so what? Batman’s blatant masculinity didn’t stop girls from enjoying his comics. And you know what else? So what if the boys find the fictional girls hot? Do we shame girls for finding fictional men like Vegita, Ryu, Superman or Solid Snake hot? No. It’s human and it doesn’t mean you don’t appreciate the character in the ways that matter.

With that said, men have every right to form an opinion on female media and that includes a negative one just as women have on male media. It’s not only a human right of theirs, but it is also essential in making the media better. Women bringing the sexism of male media of the past to the attention of creators helped make it better, so if give the same grace to men, I know we can make female media better because it is about equality and inclusion. I mean, just look at the opinions on the Barbie film. Yes, some of these opinions are really just sexist drabble, but a large majority of men are saying the same negative points about the movie that other women are. If anything, the fact that the opinions of both men and women match is a sign of not only how gender equal is society has progressed, but also how men have grown and have become better thanks to feminism.

A man who knows how the real Barbie should be, what she stands for and wants her characterization to be respected just as much as Superman’s, Batman’s or any other male hero’s is a social victory to me, but instead, these men are being told to keep their mouths closed while being accused of misogyny.

We keep claiming that fiction should be enjoyed by anyone regardless of gender, but when it comes to the subject of giving opinions, it seems that only girls have complete and total free speech without judgement. And this is wrong. This is not equality and this not feminism. If we girls can like boy stuff and be taken seriously for it, then so can boys for girl stuff and they should be taken just as seriously. Hear out the male fans. You would be very surprised at what they have to say and even pleasantly so when you come to realize that even their most negative opinions of feminine media have a great amount of love for women behind them.

In short, equality starts with letting boys and girls play nice together in any game or fiction of their choosing while being able to speak freely about it.

feeling empowered and actually having power are two very different things. women are usually offered the first one.

This is not a drill I just heard Fox News (conservative grandfather) complaining about talk of the 4B Movement post-the election. They were complaining about ridiculous liberals being upset they lost or however they were saying it and then I heard them bring up 4B so I rewinded it and copied the male newscaster's words below.

"On TikTok, self-proclaimed feminists- well they're shaving their heads- I don't know why, I assume out of anger, they're boycotting sex, and procreation, and relationships, and marriage. This is something they're calling the 4b movement [laughs to himself]. I can't make this up. Viewer warning: what you're about to see is pretty disturbing. I didn't make it up, I promise- take a look. [Plays videos of women promoting the 4B movement on I think TikTok]"

I know interest is rising among American women on Instagram for example but didn't realize word of the movement growing in the U.S. had made it to conservatives complaining on national TV. Let's Go!!

'glinda, is it true you were her FRIEND?' loving the thought of there being staunch believers in glinda's straightness in oz who over-identify with her relationship with fiyero and feel they have to defend her from accusations of lesbian behaviour. is it an open secret that madame morrible made everyone at shiz sign NDAs? does some eagle-eyed citizen swear they saw elphaba caressing glinda's face at the top of the palace and produce a blurry sketch as proof? is glinda overheard softly singing 'i'm not her girl' to herself one day, thereby sparking hushed but lively discussions in small gaylinda circles?

What sex positivity IS

Believing that sex is not inherently dirty, sinful, shameful, or oppressive, but instead is something to be embraced, enjoyed, and celebrated.

Understanding that, beyond very basic things like consent, there is no single, "right" way to be sexual because human sexuality and sexual behavior are incredibly diverse.

Accepting the fact that your sexual preferences might be very different from someone else's, and that's okay! Part of acknowledging the diversity of human sexuality is being comfortable with the fact that there are sexual things out there that are not for you (or may even gross you out), and that the people who do like those things aren't doing anything wrong.

Rejecting the stigma attached to things like BDSM or sex work.

What sex positivity is NOT

Believing everyone should have as much sex as possible

Thinking that people who don't want to have sex, for any reason, are bad or repressed.

Insisting that no one gets to have boundaries around what kinds of sexual things--including conversations about sex--they're comfortable engaging in.

Believing that sex cannot be bad or traumatic, or that anyone who has negative or complicated feelings about sex is in the wrong.

Replicating the male gaze.

(From Sam's response to Is sex positivity just another version of the male gaze?)

Comfort is 🔑

This winter, buy some pretty, sturdy heels and let your true self out to play!

Isn’t she so alluring? Girls like her make you feel so much envy, you just wish you had her body, her mindset, and everything else about her. Surely, a mistress or a dom can make you feel things when they encourage you towards feminization. However, those kinks only serve to fulfill the void of transition, which although easier said than done, is the real path towards your feminization into a girl. In the end, only you can make the choice towards your transition and coming out.

(Keep in mind that feminization captions are just a form of entertainment. If you’re really looking to transition, please refer to guides like these as highlighted. Some of the info may be outdated due to aggressive anti-trans laws/regulations or a lack of sufficient gender affirming resources in your local area.)

To my fans of this blog, this is actually an older caption I never got to upload. I haven’t done a new caption in over a month due to circumstances. Would you like to see the full unedited version of this lovely alt goddess? Click below:

How many trans women does it take to change a light bulb?

Just one, and you don't even need a light bulb. Just tell her she's a pretty lady and she will light up the room for you.
