Am I the only one who hates university? I can't take this anymore.

I’m very Here for makeup & shaving critiques etc. but acting like being expected to do those things is the primary way feminine socialization hurts us is missing the depth of it imo, and I think it might be hard to convince anyone outside of our circle (or even ourselves) that femininity is harmful & forced if those are the only points we focus on bc those really are not, comparatively, very difficult behaviors to start or stop.

more concerning to me are the compulsions, the constant fear-without-a-name every time we want to speak up but stop ourselves, the secret-keeping of our own ideas. the unnecessary apologizing, and worse, apologizing to someone who owes you an apology just to end the conflict or (crossing our fingers) passively remind them to apologize. forgiving those who hurt us even though we know it will happen again. overestimating how much we’ve taken and underestimating how much we’ve given in relationships, favors, conversations.

I’m concerned about what we do with our anger, how we turn it on ourselves, how we hide it, how we identify it by other names. how afraid we are of feeling angry & understanding what it means.

I’m concerned about our dismissal of our own needs, that we view our needs as obstacles to overcome. we feel guilty for needing food, rest, attention, space to ourselves.

what’s concerning is how we see ourselves in the third person, our bodies as avatars. we flip from perspective to perspective to check if we’re good from every angle. we’ve visited the mind of everyone around us. our empathy polices us.

what’s most damaging about femininity is the message of subservience that was planted deep, deep in our upbringing & in our minds the moment we were born. we were shaped to be masochists. making sure I look a certain way is a big part of it, but I can remove my makeup & grow out my leg hair & deal with the added self-consciousness with enough motivation. what I can’t seem to stop is the compulsive self-harm & feeling like every part of me is owed to someone else

the good thing is that john lennon was a man who loved haunting him and paul mccartney is a man who loves to be haunted by him so i think it's fine. it's fine actually. like when paul says john's soul is still in his (2026) like that's so fine and okay. really. seriously. and john last words to him being "think about me now and then" it's okay. so paul is just doing this right, thinking about him now and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then and then

We don't "own" womanhood, we are womanhood. Our existence itself as female adult humans is womanhood, it's not something outside of us that we own, it's our own selves, something males could never be no matter how much they try.

[drowsyjude]

"girlhood can be anything!" "manhood can be anything!"

so just abolish gender then .. come on pls dont make me beg

[falandosozin]

why not keep it and have fun with it? acknowledge how malleable and subjective and potentially fun it can be lmao let's have feminine men masculine nb butches androgynous lesbians who are also trans like what's the harm in it

[oceanfuneral]

because gender isn't "fun". it's a system of oppression that works by assigning artificial roles and rules to being male or female.

what you're thinking of is what's often referred to as "gender expression", which is actually just a poor catchall term for fashion, mannerisms, personality, etc. these are, indeed, fun! you can be a man or woman and dress, talk, behave however you want.

you don't have to play these weird sexist games by proclaiming your natural human personality and fashion are actually proof you are not really your sex.

[originalitysquared]

"Why not keep strict roles in our society so I can feel rebellious and cool when I don't adhere to them?"

Because that's some immature bullshit.

“What were the Beatles really like? She’s asked this every day. “Very irreverent, very flirty,” she says, “just like my own boys growing up. That John Lennon was a very naughty boy. He preferred men. He was very shy with women, you know, trying to get confidence in himself with that naughty schoolboy humour, that catch-the-girl, kiss-the-girl thing. If you came on as a siren, he’d run a mile.””

Cilla Black, interview in the Telegraph, August, 1997

If you never skipped classes to study you didn't fully live the university student experience

19 year old paul mccartney sitting across john lennon who's about to turn 21 in a cafe in the left bank of seine river in paris, sipping on wine they bought with john's money. george is back home pissed off as hell because they cancelled their booked shows. stuart is flabbergasted because he thinks the two of them leaving without saying a word means the band is over. but paul's just doodling his and john and their band's name on a piece of paper again and again and again because he's in love with the idea of them and their future. don't worry, everything will go well, then everything will go terrible, and paul will write a song about this almost twenty years later.
