dressing “gender non conforming” is socially more acceptable for women bc of heteronormativity and modern day gender roles. a woman with a buzzcut wearing baggy jeans and a basketball tee will get an odd look AT MOST but might even be celebrated by media for her looks. think ruby rose. also barely anyone will bat an eyelid when a woman wears high heels and dresses one day and goes for a masculine look the other days. it’s hot, it’s hip, its fashion.

a man cannot go between wearing masculine clothes and wearing that very same dress and high heels without absolute negative response from over 95% of all media and society. its such a big deal to everyone for no damn reason. masculine clothing has, in many ways, lost its gender tag when worn by women which is great!!! definitely!! but if only traditionally feminine clothing could similarly distance itself from representing gender identity (and sexuality!!). anyway let men wear dresses? and don’t automatically assume it says anything about their gender or sexuality? that’s the future I want

the misogyny speech

my favourite thing ever in the history of this universe is the misogyny speech. i love it. i love it so much. 

for those who don’t know what the misogyny speech is: australia’s PM julia gillard was our first female prime minister and was bullied relentlessly throughout her career by sexist politicians saying that as a woman she was unfit to lead. and then. then. one day, julia gillard snapped.

the resulting three-minute speech, known simply as the ‘misogyny speech’ in australia, was possibly the most epic smackdown seen in australian political history, surpassed only by “i wanna do you slowly”. it was incredible. students memorised it and marched through the streets yelling it. a national australian choir arranged it as a five-harmony piece. even hillary clinton went out of her way to meet julia gillard and tell her how fucking awesome the misogyny speech was.

i, personally, have the misogyny speech memorised. because i live in tony abbott’s electorate, and my dream of dreams is to see him at the shops one day and follow him while yelling it.

the misogyny speech: as australian as vegemite.

it’s long but honestly every second is worth it the whole speech is incredibly inspirational

[alloverthegaf]

“that’s a direct quote by the leader of the opposition so I suggest those groaning take it up with him” Julia Gillard was taking no more shit what an inspiration

[the-rain-monster]

I like that he starts the speech off wryly smiling. That doesn’t last long.
