And like I genuinely am loath to negatively discuss women’s bodies online and I think the way that famous women’s bodies are up for discussion online and in the press is upsetting and dehumanising and I feel a lot of compassion for women who are struggling with eating disorders and body image issues in the public eye however the fucking mass weight loss happening to all famous women either through eating disorders or weight loss medication cannot just go uncommented on. Nearly every single famous woman got skeletal overnight and it is so incredibly worrying both for them and for what it signals to other women and girls about how they should look.

Whenever I hear someone say "the woke mob" I have to stop myself from laughing because even today all I can think of is this fucking tweet

I feel like a lot of people get "All Art is Political" confused with "All Art is made with Political Intentions" which is not the same.

do u guys know that when people talk about decentering romance its not about ‘u have to be happy single’ its about interrogating society’s push for everyone to strive for a romantic relationship and how those relationships are given advantages (esp cishet monogamous) in society. that its like about wider social phenomenon and not about. you. i know a lot of people personalize it but like the end goal should be no one feels pressured to Be in a romantic relationship and no one feels Lesser for not having one. You being single through no fault of your own would not feel as awful if society was not putting a bunch of pressure on you to do find that kind of relationship. or by society being more communal so that u are not always longing for intimacy and connection. anyways .

im sure its annoying to have people tell u to decenter romance when u make a post about feeling lonely . but they are also not really understanding the core of what that should be either lol.

idk man like . I do feel like generally folks would be less insecure about being single through no fault of their own if that wasnt seen as a failure by society. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

u gotta be able to live for yourself and the people in your life already for a myriad of reasons. you like cannot survive if everyday you feel like shit for not being in a romantic relationship. its not strange to desire it but it gets dangerous to be sooo wrapped up in the idea of having it that you like. let your life pass you by and you are a lot more prone to ignoring red flags simply to escape the loneliness

and this loneliness. Is exacerbated by a capitalist and individualist society. At least where I am. You dont have time you dont have energy. It difficult even to maintain platonic relationships.

People tell u that romance is most important above all else so of course you feel bad that you dont have it. Of course you feel like ur too weird or too ugly or too whatever because you havent had a romance or were broken up with or you’ve been single for a long stretch of time …… there are attitudes pervading society that are affecting you. I just do not think you would feel quite so fucking awful about SPECIFICALLY missing out on romance if it wasnt so valued societally as the epitome of human relationship.

You would still feel lonely at times. We are social creatures. You may still even crave that form of relationship. But you wouldn’t feel like you are less for not being in it?

I got broken up with almost a year ago now and like I do sometimes feel that self deprecating thought of ‘oh no im single at 30’ when I have never even personally thought that was a bad thing to be. Its bc social attitudes worm their way into ur brain. ok. its the social attitudes that need changing and personally ‘decentering romance’ does help change social expectations if it is done on a large enough scale. And that doesnt even mean eschewing romantic relationships it just means to acknowledge others and hold them in the same amount of importance and to not make other people feel bad or weird for not having it or not wanting it.

i admit i am getting wary whenever people vaguepost about a fandom being 'full of drama' because a lot of people seem to use 'drama' as a synonym for like. discussions of bigotry and bias in media. which is so very much not the same thing and it hurts my head to see it conflated with shipping wars and headcanon discourse.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Every time someone says "I don't pay attention to fandom drama" and the "drama" is a Black or brown person getting dogpiled for wanted to be treated with respect. But then turn around and go "I didn't know that this sort of thing was happening!" Well you didn't care to look, either 😬

I'm just going to say it - body hair (and beauty standards in general) is truly one of the final frontiers of women's issues in the West. Too many women just love their gilded cage too much. It shocks me how virulently women will defend it. I barely open my mouth and the "well I like how it feels. it just makes me feel cleaner. sensory issues. I do it for me. feminism is about choosing (to conform)." brigade come rushing in by the dozens.

Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.

You genuinely can't even point out that hairlessness is a man-made standard without women losing their shit and acting like they are totally immune to propaganda they've been exposed to from birth. I'm so tired.
