When you tell women who aren’t feminine/who are uncomfortable with the feminine gender role to consider that they might actually be men, nonbinary or agender, you’re not being progressive - you’re simply reinforcing the notion that womanhood equals femininity and gender stereotypes.

Hello, can you please explain your feelings on that quote you just reblogged, about feminine traits? (I understand if you don't want to spend time explaining it but I would really appreciate it! Thank you either way)

It’s not called feminism because women are “shamed for their feminine traits,” it’s called feminism because we live in a society organized around a hierarchy of the sexes, where males violently subordinate females and oppress us on the basis of our female sex. Part of that oppression is the construction of femininity to make us weaker, less educated, more docile, more encumbered, less powerful, and more subservient. Femininity doesn’t just happen to exist naturally and men don’t just happen to dislike it and shame us for it, it is specifically constructed AS THE MAIN ENGINE OF OUR OPPRESSION and is not natural or innate.

If you say “I’m a woman because I dress and act feminine” you are saying “A woman is defined by being feminine. A women must be feminine”. Which is the exact same thing conservatives and misogynists have been saying since the dawn of (patriarchal) time. “A woman is an adult human female” is the least offensive, the least sexist way to describe a women. It doesn’t tell her what she has to wear, how to behave, how to cut her hair. It just states the material reality of her existence. “A woman is everyone who acts like a stereotype that’s about being submissive and caring and wears dresses and makeup” is the most offensive and sexist way to describe a woman. Because it doesn’t allow for a woman to just BE. By this definition a woman has to perform to be a woman.

real power is going outside knowing you look ugly and also knowing that if you chose to perform femininity in accordance with patriarchal standards you could look attractive, but genuinely prefering to look ugly and not feeling bad about it. feels good feels organic

[anarchohellenism]

True, honest, genuine power is going outside knowing you look gorgeous bc you don’t need to perform hyper femininity the way men want you to and that you can be stunning despite patriarchal ideals

i appreciate the intent but i actually made this post in direct response to the liberal feminist tendency to widen the parameters of “beauty” rather than challenging the concept itself and specifically the notion that women must be beautiful to be valuable, and as such my choice of words was very deliberate—i have no interest in being assured i am beautiful and a great deal of interest in existing without being told i must be such. this post is not self-deprecating and does not call for bathroom-stall platitudes. ugliness in women is threatening and i embrace that.

We don't need more diverse Disney movies, we need Disney to be shut down and broken up so that it stops dominating entertainment and choking out smaller creators and studios.

hands up lesbians if you had an intense friendship with a girl in middle school that involved more jealousy and intimacy and turmoil than most romantic relationships and it always straddled the line between platonic and more-than-platonic in a way none of your peers seemed to understand and your friendship eventually came to a dramatic and heartbreaking end because you simply didn’t have the tools to contend with your feelings for each other so you broke apart and it took you years to understand why

*changes the definition of woman to include men* …WHY is there such a spike in “female” violent and sexual crimes…what could be causing this??? 

[sportsbianism-deactivated202306]

the most annoying thing abt the whole queer being reclaimed thing is like. yeah lots of fuckin slurs have been reclaimed. they still don't call women's studies bitch studies in college. they don't have n word theory 101. the fuck is anybody acting like it's cool for straight ppl and institutions to be throwing this word around like it's no big deal bc a couple of swingers with blue hair decided it was cool? wtf?
