i actually hate when people interject with “the patriarchy hurts men too!” in every discussion about womens systemic oppression. like yeah, it does. but you don’t need to bring it up every single time we discuss misogyny as a reason people should *really* care about dismantling the patriarchy. like womens suffering isn’t enough of an issue, it has to affect men before it’s actually taken seriously. im just sick of having to cater to mens victim complex and validate their feelings of oppression before any real work can be done. isn’t it enough that we’re suffering? cuz it doesn’t feel like it is
Do you like Marina and the Diamonds? Her early work really captures the essence of mentally fraught young womanhood, but she truly came into her own voice with Electra Heart. Some dislike its more pop-oriented direction, but I think the album is fantastic.
