“why can’t female heroes kick arse in heels” because it’s not practical and will literally snap your damn ankle you can scream weaponised femininity all you want but first off, you need to admit that they’re not an almighty symbol of empowerment, and secondly that if you do a job with a lot of physical activity in heels you’re risking your own safety. all these women fighting in heels on tv are going to end up seriously injuring themselves. 

[fuckoffstraightpeople-blog]

weaponised femininity is a concept made up in an attempt to get us to embrace the industries created to hold us back/profit from our insecurities so that we can continue to fit into the male expectation of what a woman should be and not question why we are forced to spend thousands on our appearance every year

[wizzardhat]

just a small anecdote. I had a friend who worked in theater; she was the stage manager and an actress came to her in tears one day because the director absolutely refused to let her do a choreographed fight scene in less than 3 inch heels because “they’re platforms so you’ll be okay.” My friend, who is a woman’s size 10, brought her own heels in the next day and DEMANDED the director put them on and try the choreography before the actress did it. He finally agreed to change it, without putting the heels on.

so like I know you might think of “all those women on tv fighting in heels” as fictional woman who WOULD hurt themselves in real life, but its fiction so its okay…except those women are portrayed by real actresses who are actually fighting in actual heels, being directed by dudes who have never worn a pair of heels in their lives, alongside men who aren’t expected to constantly wear things that make their stunts 2x more dangerous than they have to be. Just a thought.

Men take “let’s see feminine women being badass” to mean “let’s see women impractically focused on their appearance in combat situations.“

That’s why I loved Black Panther even more Nakia took off her heels and used them as weapons and was running and driving around barefoot in that one scene

[crystalzelda]

A number of stuntwomen have spoken out about getting injured on sets because the character is wearing heels and skimpy clothing that provide no protection or padding. It literally harms rl women.

The only way I wanna see a women fight with heels is if she takes them off and fights with them a la Mulan/Nakia style.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

sorry i can’t hear the noise of male entitlement over the sound of Evangeline Lilly and every other woman sighing in frustration

[thestoryteller23]

They photoshopped the heels onto wonder woman. Not even Gal Gadot could fight in them, but it was so important to The Look™ that they frame by frame added them. Gal wore flats to the red carpet in protest.

My high school had a dress code that required skirts and pantyhose/tights for girls. Our male gym teacher insisted ten minutes was more than enough time to change after gym class. We asked him if he’d ever tried to put on pantyhose over sweaty/damp legs. He tried it. Took 45 minutes. Two things changed: all-male school board changed the dress code for girls to include dress pants, and our gym change time increased to 20 minutes. Men literally have no frame of reference for their privilege and misogyny and need to be schooled.

“Weaponized femininity” with the current definition is so stupid. I’d like to see reasonable weaponized femininity. Hair clips that can double as throwing knives, clutches that can be transformed into shields, wearing dresses both for the look and for the added range of motion. None of this “Fighting in 5 inch heels” or “Stupidly tight spandex that you can’t move in but still Looks Good.”

Anybody out there advocating for “weaponized femininity” needs to be advicating for practicality and safety as well

[frayedcobweb]

The only ‘weaponized femininity’ I will accept is the taking off of high heels to wreak complete and utter havoc with them. Fuck’s sake.

[mimeparadox]

This one of the many, many things I live about the CW’s Nikita: whenever the mission parameters changed from infiltration to action, we’d see her remove her heels and just go on barefoot. I’m 99% sure this was something Maggie Q insisted on, too.

[andyouweremine]

There’s such a huge difference between how the CW promoted Nikita:

and what Nikita actually wore on missions:

[dealanexmachina]

Maggie Q did 90% of all her stunts, so yeah, she definitely had a say in ditching the heels. She used to LOVE telling them “No” all the time with the heels and ridiculous outfits.

When are we going to stop pretending girls don’t have hair on their boobs, between their boobs, around their nips, on their ass, on their upper lip, between their brows, on their cheeks, etc?

[isabelxmagnolia]

On their belly, on their toes, on their back, literally everywhere men grow hair

[gncrevan]

humans grow hair everywhere except on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. this hair can rank from light blond and soft to dark and wiry, regardless of sex or gender of the person. shaving all of it is a mess and plucking it hurts like hell. humans are just animals with less thick fur. you wouldn’t shame a female animal for having as much fur as a male one, so stop doing that with humans.

[oat-milf-latte]

reminder to my fellow trans girls freaking out about having hair there

[rhube]

This fantasy that women are hairless except their eyebrows and long head hair is so bizarre. Yes, gents, it’s there.

Also, just FWI because this also annoys me: not all natural blondes have carpet that matches the drapes. That’s not a thing you can use as some kind of honestly test. You know, like how blond men often have darker beards? It’s like that.

Women have hair. It’s everywhere. It’s as weird and varied as men’s hair.

ho paura di rimanere così, triste, con pochi amici, e niente da raccontare

[open-your-skull]

Pensavo di aver già conosciuto la solitudine quando ero piccola, quando ogni giorno non avevo nessuno con cui parlare, ma mi andava bene così. Pensavo che sarà mai, se capiterà di nuovo posso sempre tornare al mio stato primario delle cose, a me nella mia camera che occupo la mente per non pensare a niente. Nessuno mi ha mai detto che una volta conosciuto l'affetto vero poi tornare soli fa così tanto male
