“It’s literally impossible to be a woman.
You are so beautiful, and so smart, and it kills me that you don't think you're good enough. Like, we have to always be extraordinary, but somehow, we're always doing it wrong?
You have to be thin, but not too thin, and you can never say you wanna be thin. You have to say you wanna be healthy, but also, you have to BE THIN.
You have to have money, but you can't ask for money because that's crass.
You have to be a boss, but you can't be mean.
You have to lead, but you can't squash other people's ideas.
You're supposed to love being a mother, but don't talk about your kids all the damn time.
You have to be a career woman, but also, always be looking out for other people.
You have to answer for men's bad behavior, which is INSANE, but if you point that out, you're accused of complaining!
You're supposed to stay pretty for men, but not so pretty that you tempt them too much or that you threaten other women because you're supposed to be a part of the sisterhood, but ALWAYS STAND OUT and ALWAYS BE GRATEFUL. But never forget that the system is rigged, so find a way to acknowledge that but ALSO, always be grateful!
You have to never get old. Never be rude. Never show off. Never be selfish. Never fall down. Never fail. Never show fear. Never get OUT OF LINE. It's too hard! It's too contradictory, and nobody gives you a medal or says 'thank you!' And it turns out, in fact, that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also, everything is your fault.
I'm just so tired of watching myself, and every single other woman tie herself into knots, so that people will like us.
And if all of that, is also true for a doll just representing a woman, then I don't even know." -Gloria the barbie movie
this is it. this is exactly it oh my god.

I wish Fiyero’s character in the musical had more emotional poignancy and more development. but on the other hand it’s pretty funny to me that he gets the women-in-media treatment but genderbent - he only exists to be a love interest and to forward the arcs of the female main characters.

Today it randomly struck me that Claire is the only woman in Lost Season 1 that hasn't been married before?? And one of the only women in the entire show to have never been married before.
Kate was married to Kevin (well, really Monica was married to Kevin), and then they split after Kate revealed her identity.
Sun is obviously married to Jin.
Shannon was apparently married before the island.
Rose is married to Bernard.
Juliet was married to fellow doctor Edmund Burke, before he sooo tragically got hit by a bus.
Claire somehow managed to dodge marriage throughout the entire series.

The only cis men I trust are those who were in improv and those who did at least 4 years of boy scouts.

When I say I'm a feminist I don't mean I am against men, I don't mean I loathe the male gender and think females are better in any way
When I say I am a feminist I mean women shouldn't be fearing for their lives whenever they step foot out of the house, shouldn't be called emotional bitches for making our voices heard . I mean rapists shouldn't be let off freely for ruining a woman's life, that women shouldn't have to 'cover our shoulders' because we're 'distracting the boys'. I mean women should not have a hindrance to uptake their basic human rights of safety, respect and dignity.
Thank you.

jason todd is a girls girl.
let me explain (ik ik i say that a lot)
Jason Peter Todd will stand on business if it means helping someone out, especially a woman.
A creepy man following you home? woah that's crazy jason todd is very suddenly your friend and just so happens to be walking the same way.
Someone being a dick to you in public and making a scene? jason intervenes, handling the person after calling you a cab and paying for it up front.
You need someone to watch your drink? Mr. Fucking Red Hood will stand with a gun held over the drink until you get back, regardless of what he was doing.
Jason Todd is a girls girl in my mind and I will die on this fucking hill.
seriously though I feel like he and Steph would recreate that sonic meme that's like
Steph, saying something about how she, Cass and Babs are better than the rest : -and I'll prove once and for all that a female can be just as good of an hero as a male!
Jason : You know, anytime someone calls attention to the breaking of gender roles, it ultimately undermines the concept of gender equality by implying this is the exception and not the status quo.
Steph :
Jason :
Everyone and their mother :
Jason : What? Just because I'm a resurrected zombie freak and assassin, doesn't mean I'm not a feminist. I read pride and prejudice, dammit.

She's my fav girlboss ughhhhhhh I literally wanna cry she's the definition of feminism.
Okay I know that the pintshipping community is talking about the bathtub scene. Or the pint trap itself.
And it's so valid and so real
BUT OMG WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE TRAP?
And I partially mean Brit holding Mallick's head up and comforting him
But I wanna point out how when Erickson finds Brit, she's crawling around with a sharp ass object (probably the one from the bathtub trap too), out of the room, fully ready to protect her lame ass boyfriend.
Meaning, that despite the blood loss, having her entire arm basically cut open, she managed to crawl back to the bathtub, get one of the sharp things, and force herself to stay conscious, walking around the building when she heard noises, to protect herself AND Mallick, who passed out on the floor.
UGHGHH THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME GUYS Y'ALL DON'T GET IT....
#this is modern feminism talking#yes...she might have killed ppl...but look at how pretty she is...#SHE CARES ABT MALLICK SM UGHHHHH#also the fact that she expects erickson to beat her up? im gonna literally cry im so sorry for her....#LET THEM BE HAPPY PLS

i’m so serious i need these lyrics tattooed on the inside of my eyelids
#i can’t stop listening to this song#i can’t formulate my thoughts rn but this song and honestly the whole album#have such an interesting take on where modern day feminism is heading and how we’ve traded in genuine activism for this girls girl#aesthetic that has no deeper meaning or messaging other than omg i love being a woman and i love buying makeup and i would never shit talk#another girl or be insecure#because it’s literally impossible 😭 you’re not gonna get along with everyone! a friend to all is a friend to none!!!#and you’re not gonna magically lose all of your insecurities and low self esteem just because some girl on tiktok told you that thick thigh#s save lives#idk like there’s so much pressure on us to be perfect all the time and be this weird caricature of a girl#when in reality this girl doesn’t even exist!#it’s crazy that people honestly think you’re some kind of an anti feminist if you don’t like following tiktok beauty trends or if you have#beef with other women or you struggle with low self esteem#like at its core femininism is about women’s rights! it’s not about shaming women for being real complex people 😭#you can’t girl boss your way out of body dismorphia and serve anxiety#you can’t self care and retail therapy your way out of depression#anyway i love this song and i love being a gross weird women#mari.txt

an executive producer of The Handmaid’s Tale was cheering that trump won under an insta post from justine bateman and idk why anyone is surprised when the lead actress has always been balls deep in Scientology
#g talks#the handmaid’s tale tv series has always been a joke#bc to the people making it its just an adaptation of a book#it’s never meant anything serious to them#based on who they’ve hired to make it#and Atwood herself said the inspiration for the book#came from the plights of WOMEN OF COLOR throughout history#yet the main characters in the tv series are white as fuck#and the feminists that watch it rave about it bc they can finally relate#because the women affected are all white#it’s like the fucking morons putting their voted stickers on Susan B Anthony’s grave#after voting for Kamala#as if Susan would’ve supported their decision at all#that bitch didn’t consider black people HUMAN BEINGS#there’s a reason white women could vote years in advance#but modern white feminists don’t think about it#they still exclude black women from their feminism#and believe that just voting for a black woman is enough#to make up for what white feminists have done#or just white women in general#while they’re STILL worshipping women like Margaret Sanger and Susan B Anthony#it’s just embarrassing#mine#/mobile#/okay to reblog
