I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT THAT’S THE SAME SHIRT

alessia.bastille: Dan explains the hand signs he uses to communicate with his crew during the songs. That was the question I asked during the Soundcheck in Glasgow. It was quite funny because he always uses those hand signs but the night before he was really struggling with the sound - that’s why he turns around and looks at his crew laughing. I still can’t believe I’ve got him to speak with me for almost 3 minutes 😂

so women are supposed to grin and bear the books, the comics, the movies, the plays, the tv shows, the stories, the sci-fi, the translated ancient poems, the fucking millennia of men writing about their self inserts torturing women and it being declared as High Art by other men, we’re supposed to read it in our free time, study it in classrooms, include their styles in our own writing, accept their cultural influence as natural, watch it in the cinema, write about it, talk about it, accept it, aspire it, but men can’t tolerate three seconds of female wish fulfilment of a woman snapping the wrist of a creep without feeling personally kicked in the balls.

This reminds me of something I observed in college while I was doing my honors thesis on women in modern horror films. I watched a LOT of horror during that time as part of my research, and sometimes that was done with my family around.

And my dad and brothers? Were deeply disturbed by the movie Jennifer’s Body. I was flabbergasted. It’s not scary! It’s not even that gory. But they were horrified by it. These men who grew up on 70s slashers were legitimately shook by 90 minutes of Megan Fox eating a few teenage boys, mostly off-screen.

Similarly, my all-male reading panel for my thesis? Were so disturbed by my synopsis of the film Teeth that they couldn’t even talk about it. One of them said he couldn’t look at his wife for a week after reading it.

Again, grown-ass men who study and teach media for a living. Who definitely watch and enjoy horror movies. One of whom was a huge Tarantino buff. We watched and read worse in his intro to mass media class! But one movie about a girl whose vag could bite was enough to haunt him.

Then of course you have things like the Gone Girl backlash–men yelling that Amy Dunne is evil and women clamoring to assure everyone that they know she is not someone to emulate–the backlash against Carol Danvers, and, more recently, the griping from MRAs against the upcoming film Hustlers, which is about strippers scamming their Wall Street clients.

My conclusion? Most men–at least most straight, cisgender men, who are both my sample population and most of the ones whining that Carol is a “villain”–are perfectly fine with, and desensitized to, media where men do violence to women (horror movies), or men do violence to men (horror and action movies). They’re even sort of fine when women do violence to women (“ooooo cat fight!”).

But they get intensely uncomfortable when women are depicted doing any kind of violence to men, especially in films that tilt the balance of power to the other side of the m/f gender binary beyond a single moment or scene.

So woman as flesh-eating monster with men as her preferred cuisine? Woman who responds to unwanted sexual contact by biting it off? Woman who frames her cheating husband for murder? Woman whose response to harassment–behavior that many of the loudest whiners know is both creepy and reflective of their own thoughts/actions–is to break something?

Too scary. Unacceptable. Disturbing. These men hate being presented with the idea, even in fiction, that their position of power is socially constructed, that it could easily be flipped the other way. It terrifies them.

In feeling that terror, they experience a tiny modicum of what living, existing, moving, being perceived as a woman in the world is like.

And they flinch every time.

Who else really wants to know why that turned into a fight

doomedgirls

pretty sure they’re both males trying to sing to attract a lady frog. they got mad bc they’re right on top of each other and fight to get one to leave the territory

fierceawakening

Ahhhh that makes sense. Thanks!

But why did it take that long to notice each other then? They seemed to be chill with each other at first?

Hey I'm writing my thesis on Behavioural Ecology and have an answer for you! Tbh I work w bugs but I'm a big fan of amphibians so I dabble ;)

Before fighting, these frogs tried to resolve their differences peacefully with shouting. Usually, you can tell from the sound of the call which frog is bigger (and thus presumably stronger). Bigger frogs generally have deeper, louder calls, and if the other frog is significantly smaller, they'll often just give up and leave without a fight on the basis of a rival's call alone. It's kind of hilarious, actually: if you take 2 fairly even frogs, and modulate one of their calls to make them sound bigger, the other one will often just dip. Like "no, that guy sounds like he could kick my ass, I'm not touching that!"

So the first bit, they're calling close to each other, simultaneously to attract a female and to size each other up, but after a while they realise that they're pretty evenly matched. If a lady shows up, she might pick either one! Can't have that. Plus, maybe this is a great spot! The acoustics are EXCELLENT, and the call reflecting off this concrete wall makes me sound even BIGGER and STRONGER, but this other dude is RUINING it. Only solution is to declare this territory as my own and kick out the other guy!

Basically, there comes a point where yelling isn't enough and the frogs need to fight it out to determine who's the strongest. Even then, it tends to be a strength test more than a trying-to-hurt-you fight (think arm wrestle vs fist fight in humans). The stronger one pushes the weaker one, the weaker one realises he's outmatched, and he leaves with no one sporting any significant injuries other than on their frog-pride (which may or may not exist, idk if frogs feel thinks like "pride" or "envy." P sure they experience "avarice" tho).

You see similar things in lots of animal species. It's called "Ritualised Aggression" if you want to google it more! Honestly there are some EXCELLENT examples out there.

Hey, wow, that’s super cool! Thanks for answering my question! 💜

hey stormers if you could help me find this photo that would be amazing:

it was a photo of Dan side hugging a girl while wearing a green sweater/jumper with Gunniss written on it

i’m trying to create a green mood board of bastille photos and i can’t for the life of me find it but it’s been etched into my brain permanently

i think it was around WW era if that helps
