men weaponize art against women

[beckette]

notable examples of this include:

that one college guy who was going to play the piano on campus until his ex took him back

the game designer who tried to propose to his (now ex) girlfriend via the spider man video game

the song “hey there, delilah”. written abt a girl who was in a relationship w another man

any time a guy tries to use art to manipulate a woman into loving him and/or giving him what he wants, he’s wielding it as a weapon

[beckette]

yo shout out to everyone who’s interpreted this post as me saying that men should never make art for any reason ever again. they’re right

Kristen Richardson traces the history of the practice, with firsthand accounts from diaries and letters, finding political strife, social up

something about the history of women being sold as cattle from father to husband just really doesn’t register with some people as horrifying, i guess. this article toes such a weird line between “this book gives you a glimpse behind a barbaric ritual” and “lol silly rich white people and their silly problems”

[tockthewatchdog-deactivated2020]

this is just one rich white flavor of a worldwide and age old problem. dowries purity balls debutante balls honor killings, TI checking his daughters hymen, us being made to take the last names of husbands and fathers, legal marital rape, our bodies and lives are always someone else’s property or under the direct threat of becoming property since the beginning of time in every corner of every society ever formed, no matter how rich and no matter how privileged, no woman anywhere has ever been truly free

The only acceptable icing is buttercream. Whipped icing is a cowards choice and fondant people are demons and gotta meet me in the street for their poor life choices that led them to accept Play-Doh as acceptable cake decoration

having a permanent full time job is you thinking to yourself “so this is really the rest of my life huh” as you come home every single day before using your 4 hours of recreational activity to do nothing and then going to bed

[exceptionals]

me, every day: i just dont have the energy for this today

[hollowtones]

basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

These words scan with a fantastic degree of confidence considering that together they make no sense at all

the most exciting thing about tumblr is when you’re reading an issue post and you have to guess if you’re supposed to agree with it or not before getting to the last comment

[pinchepocho-deactivated20171008]

Do some of you not form your own opinions? Yikes

[chromolume]

oh shit i guess this is a bad post

[lesbx]

cat when I’m snuggling him: I’ve never met you in my life. you bastard. you fiend. stop this at once

cat when I’m busy doing something and can’t pet him right that second: Where Is My Kisses From Mommy??? Where Is My Snuggles And Cuddles That I Crave So Dearly. You Are A Cruel And Unjust Mother And I Am Going To Scream

[virgoassbitch]

Why do men always have to act like they gotta teach you shit… like?? I don’t know who fuckin asked you but it sure wasn’t me so keep your motivation speeches to yourself

every interaction with a man is a combination TED Talk, valedictorian speech, personal training session, and getting grounded by your dad

are you ever scrolling through tumblr and you have a thought and immediately lose it so you have to scroll back up to give your brain the conditions under which it originally created the thought so you can bring it back

[what-even-is-thiss]

I have no unique experiences apparently

“uhhh i can’t find this book at my public library” that’s because you’re not going to the secret public library (stealing from barnes and noble)

Incredible how none of you seem to have heard a joke before

drew barrymore and timothy olyphant in santa clarita diet are the literal embodiment of the ‘last two brain cells’ meme

I like hearing “I want you to come” instead of “you can come if you want”

my nasty ass was confused bc i thought this was about busting a nut

[badolmen]

Listen, “asshole with a heart of gold” is a good trope but you know what we need more than that???

Dumbass with a heart of gold. Just, a complete moron who cares a whole fucking lot. An idiot who would die for a stranger. A goddamn dimwit so fucking in love with someone that they’d do anything for ‘em.

i’m highly attracted to someone who has been through things in life. i don’t want someone who is always rainbows and butterflies. is it strange that i am comforted by the darkness in someone?

What *can’t* we learn from looking to the wisdom of nature?

Here’s one

The best part is that the cat’s first box was already too small. “I learned nothing and never will.”
