Josh Thomas talks about male suicide

[poppypicklesticks-blog]

I wonder how feminists will react to this

Probably ignore it then go back to making male tears mugs and gifs 

[spiderkiss]

Actually this is a very common idea among feminists

It’s something feminists have been talking about for years it’s called toxic masculinity and it’s one of the common threads among the topic of ‘Patriarchy hurts men too’. If fact the first time I read about toxic masculinity was on a feminist blog.

If you actually read things feminists talk about instead of straw manning them you might know this but OH WELL

This lovely haul only cost me $18.30.

23 Apples. (Two are not pictured because I gave one to a friend and I was eating one while I set this all up. 😅) 5 Tomatoes. 4 Eggplants. 3 Oranges. 2 Bags of pebble potatoes (or at least thats what I call them. 😂✌🏽️) 2 packages of tofu. (one firm and one extra firm) 4 bottles of pasta sauce.

My Recovery Journey has been such a struggle. Some days I hardly touch my food and I end up breaking down. I’ll have panic attacks. I’ll have to be forced by family members or friends to eat at least one meal a day. Then some days I’ll enjoy every bit of food on my plate.

Today, I saw all of this and I got so excited. I’m nearly in tears about how HAPPY this has made me. I was actually S͟K͟I͟P͟P͟I͟N͟G͟ through the store as I went to check out.

I have come so very far.

I am alive. I am well. I am a warrior.

// REASONS TO WORK OUT THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH PHYSICAL APPEARANCE

Is fitness all about six-packs, big biceps and booties? Sometimes I get really tired of how the fitness and being fit seems to be all about the looks, how the goal of your workouts has to be achieving a certain ideal (unattainable?) body. I want to say that’s not how it has to be; There’s much more to working out than getting a body that looks a specific way!

I work out:

Because I love challenging myself, physically and mentally

To feel powerful

To beat my personal best

To see the nature in another way

To get stronger

To carry all my groceries in one trip

To become more confident

To get that rush of endorphins

To be able to open the difficult jar on my own

To take care of my health

To release stress

Because my body will thank me for it when I get older

Because I want to be strong enough to be able to carry heavy stuff on my own

Because my workouts are something I can look forward to on a grey day

Because it helps me clear my mind and organize my thoughts

Because it helps my stay pain free

Because I feel weird when I shower and it’s not after a workout

Because of that good feeling you get afterwards

Because it’s part of who I am

Because it makes my brain sharper

Because it makes me happy

Because it makes me perform better at every other aspect of my life

Because it makes me realize how good my body is meant to feel

Because I love it

Because I can

For some of the reasons I had running in mind, others lifting, and some yoga or fourth type of exercise. I like to do different types of workouts, because they do different things for my body, all of which combined makes me feel the best.

Some of these might not apply to you, and that’s okay - we don’t always work out for the same reasons. If you work out to look a certain way, I have absolutely nothing against that, I just hope you’re being realistic about it. And I hope you don’t forget the feeling good part - and more importantly, don’t put other people down for working out for a different reason than you!

Your turn

Which of these reasons apply to you?

What is your (unrelated-to-physical-appearance) reasons to work out?

- Lots of love, Anne
