okay yeah i do think your filler is off putting and your botox makes you rigid and strange to look at

[tomatoinyourgarden]

I know you think it’s “feminist” to hate on women who already have self esteem and image issues (through no fault of their own, as a direct result of patriarchy) for doing something to help them cope with their fleeting youth - which may or may not have been stripped from them against their will due to years of depression, abuse, oppression, or whatever else - but the truth is that the freedom to get Botox is actually a right feminists have fought for - whether intentionally or unintentionally. Women used to get thrown away when we outlived our youth and beauty - now we have the option to prolong it and change the way we are perceived and treated by society as a whole. We ALL had to grow up too fast. We ALL have to cope with a childhood that ended too soon. I’m no less a feminist than you are simply because I choose to hold onto my youth and beauty because it helps me feel better about my own loss of innocence. This is all just another excuse to hate on women and tear us down. You’re literally letting the patriarchy win by judging women for their personal choices which harm absolutely no one. Please grow up. Not everyone is conventionally attractive or ages gracefully. Some women can cope with that and some can’t. Both deserve love and respect. Have some decency. You’re not edgy for this. You’re hating just like a man would.

Feminists … have fought… for the right … to use Botox…..

Nabataean sculpture of Atargatis, from Khirbet et-Tannur, Mount Tannur, in today's Jordan, c. 100 CE. Jordan Archaeological Museum

Atargatis (known to the Greeks as Derceto) was the principal goddess of northern Syria in Classical antiquity, although her worship is also attested among the Nabataeans in present-day Jordan. Revered primarily as a goddess of fertility, she also served as the baalat (“mistress”) of her people, embodying both civic guardianship and prosperity. Her most important cult centre stood at Hierapolis Bambyce, near present-day Manbij, northeast of Aleppo.

The historian Michael Rostovtzeff referred to her as “the great mistress of the North Syrian lands.” She was commonly associated with the storm god Hadad as her consort. Under the name Ataratheh, both doves and fish were sacred to her—doves symbolizing love and fish representing fertility, abundance, and the life-giving powers of water.

A third-century Syriac source notes that in Syria and Edessa (Urhâi), men once practiced ritual castration in her honor. According to the account, after King Abgar converted to Christianity, he prohibited the custom, bringing the practice to an end in Edessa.

Atargatis is also sometimes depicted as a mermaid-like deity, reflecting her association with a fish-bodied goddess worshipped at Ashkelon.

“Where are the trans men in history?” See. When you're born a gender that was forcefully married off, who had to live most of their life indoors, when you had to raise children, and had a lobotomy if your family thought you were a tad too odd, it's kinda hard to come out as a trans man now ain't it.

They’ll call u a Qanon crypto terf hitlerite for having no tolerance for pedophiles who call themselves pedophiles proudly. They put the pedo jacket on themselves then compare u to Ted Cruz for “promoting groomer accusations” and then the next post will be about how important it is for children to be exposed to the pedophile community the only people according to them that believe in a child’s autonomy and freedom to make choices about who they sleep with. And when u point that out as clearly predatory they’ll accuse you of not believing a child has the right to control their own life and u believe a child shouldn’t be able to dress how they want or study what they want, when that wasn’t the problem or what the conversation was about. But it’s you who’s twisting the narrative not them as they weasel their way out of taking responsibility for their efforts to create an environment that lures children in to dangerous relationships with pedophilic adults.
