#soap wears a kilt because kilts are hot and with his shirt it looks kinda punk i think

[natelia-aldelliz]

I wanted to try and find my headcanon of Roach's face because for some reason my brain decided that I couldn't keep writing my fanfic if I didn't know what I wanted him to look like beneath his mask... So obviously the full picture wasn't planned. (Also I went the easy way for the background because I remembered that I wasn't getting paid anyway so why make myself suffer)

I don't know if the design is definitive, but I find him cute. I made him Welsh, because why not. He can bond with Soap over why the fuck do the English exist.

Anyway they're gossiping about someone at the pub like the little shits they are. Also I don't know if it's obvious or not, but Roach has the mask sun-tan line. Ghost does too. Speaking of Ghost, he's on the other side of the table, looking like that :

Gender things that contradict themselves in European Society

Just pointing out the mind numbing contradictions. I suppose one could also think about this and how people climb through this and come up with justifications for it. Contemporary society, BTW.

Meat==Man thing.

Pigs are supposedly (but not really ) pink.

Pink is woman's color said from the 1950's.

European gentile man eats meat from pig. Then what gender is he? Does meat > pink.

Does that explain why medium rare or rare beef==real man? Of course the justification is "raw"==more man, but ignore the pink?

What? But then vegetables are women in writing, except when oblong, then it's a man, except for gourds which are what gender according to Europeans? And mushrooms are often called manly, though they technically are neither animal or vegetable, so wouldn't that make them nonbinary especially considering they have thousands of genders, but this apparently does work in this gender system. But no one compares a man to a zucchini though it's long, oblong, and is technically in the same family a a gourd?

Yeah... kinda confusing here.

Then what are blue flowers? Why is fruit a woman? Is it the Eve thing? But sheep are feminine until a man eats them according to the Bible (also goats and dogs are considered evil in the Old and New Testament). Granted this isn't European standards, but often it was disciplined to misunderstood Bible references that later scholars who did not read Greek, Arabic, or Hebrew, like Thomas Aquinas misunderstood severely.

Dress==top attached to a skirt. This is woman and girl's wear.

Toga is super manly and part of the Greek system? (Frats)

A robe is not a dress when a man wears it? Vestments are also not a dress?

A mumu is a robe with print and color on it? But when print is on man's shirt it's called "Hawaiian" or "dress shirt"

When man wears nightgown, that's not a dress??

When a man wears a towel wrapped around his middle, that's not a skirt? When a man wears a robe that splits in the front that's not a dress. When a man wears a sheet and ties it around his hips, that's not a skirt, but a sarong. BTW, anything outside of mainstream Europe is calls it a skirt. A grass skirt from Hawai'i. There's mixed feeling about kilts. But when a woman wears these same exact things, definitely a skirt??

BTW, el vestido is masculine in Spanish.

la robe is dress in French.

I spent a long post on clothes already, pointing out lace, pink, heels, etc were in men's clothing originally. Pants is only men's wear because around Western Europe that tried to ban women from riding horses.

So according to White European standards, men can lift heavy things and women can't. Women are simply weaklings, you see, who never knew a hard day's graft.

So that means when washer women existed and nearly drowned from lifting water from rivers and wells, this was easy work compared to a man driving a plow.

So this means when the woman had to scrub the floors on her hands and knees this was not back breaking work.

This means the three witches in Shakespeare's Hamlet when they talk about a brew didn't have to haul several buckets of water and go trouncing in the woods because they were weaklings, you see.

This means when the washing up used to be done with urine, women weren't having a hard time at all.

When women were lifting hot cauldrons, and doing things like spinning threads day in and day out by a drop spindle, they weren't doing long and tedious work.

When women were carding wool by hand it wasn't a difficult thing to do.

When women had to wrangle the animals, milk a cow and care for children or give birth--you see, not difficult at all. Women are simply weaklings, don't you know it?

They aren't making lye soap which was caustic or bits of cheese or churning butter (Which is harder than it looks).

And when women were chopping off heads, you see, not that difficult.

See, women were always weak. Because real men's work was.. let's check, being a merchant selling things without being fined for doing so (See women's scolds), ruling the Kingdom, letting animals pull your plow, Trading, chasing prestige. Because according to this system, women are money grubbing, which is why you can't trust them with money, now can you and don't do any work at all and lounge all day completely serene, reading frippery novels that utterly pollute their brains.

For all time, women were clearly, clearly weaker than men. See, see the terfs are onto something. transporting a boiling kettle and trying to do ironing without electricity, lazy women who are clearly weak amirite? <sarcasm>

It's not oh, say women's work and labor were severely unvalued and then even more undervalued as electricity came along. See, everyone is white of stable means and income on 40K pound a year. Women must be physically weaker than men.

Deep voices are male, but the most celebrated male singing is falsetto.

So, high singing male is considered still a man in most cases without question.

Vox didn't do a video on Contralto female singers, though...

though this talent seems like it is more rare than a falsetto.

So... contradiction here too. Or sexism?

Some people try to gender fonts and that is totally odd to me. How it writing in a certain way "girly"? https://www.reddit.com/r/AskFeminists/comments/vmcman/why_do_only_young_girls_develop_the_bubbly/

People care very much how people write to a gender standard? But what about writing words on a page, without looking at the letters themselves make them "girly" scratching lines on a wall isn't gendered.

BTW, nature says that super men i.e. high testosterone are more likely to be gay? But Europeans like to say they are "girls"... in the stereotype.
