I want everybody who’s calling Ken a Trophy Husband to know that he’s actually a Trophy Boyfriend, because when Ruth Handler invented Ken in the 1960s, she was adamant that he would never marry her and instead be her “handsome steady”, so that Barbie remained a figure of independence for the little girls and was never put in the position of housewife.

Her house is hers. She bought it and furnished it with money she made in her own job. In STEM, in politics, in healthcare, in fashion, in academy, in customer service. Her credit card is in her name (women in the US couldn’t have their own regardless of marital status until 1974). And it’s all pink and fashionable because femininity and badassness aren’t mutually exclusive. No matter who you are, you can be anything.

That’s why Barbie’s slogan is “you can be anything”. Teaching these ideals to little girls is why Barbie was created. Empowering women and empowering femininity is the original meaning of the Barbie doll. It’s not that you have to be all this to be a woman, but if you are all or some of this, you too are awesome.

And somehow pop culture deliberately changed that narrative. Sexualised, bimbofied, and villainised her, when she actually isn’t responsible for the impossible beauty standards — people are, she’s just a stylised, not-to-scale toy like most others.

Men are frothing because he’s just Ken and I guess they were expecting her to be just Barbie, but that’s exactly what Ken is. Canonically. A badass woman’s himbo boyfriend.

This movie has the potential to change the way we collectively see Barbie radically into what Ruth Handler’s intended, I’m so very excited

I was laying down with my bf, him on top bc f^ck gender norms, and he got a phone call. When he sat up to talk, my shirt rode up a bit and ON GOD I FELT SO SKINNY

Like he got to see me in the best angle, and he was messing with the area cause adhd makes him fidget and it just made me so proud bc I’m so pretty for him

[junebug-03]

Aah I promised my bf I’d stop vaping with the new year, but it makes not eating so much easier 😭

[junebug-03]

Is it just me or does having a bf motivate you more?

Like I’m making myself pretty for him

Ive been actually keeping up with my skin care, working out a lot more. Even meeting my goals easier

I just wanna be so pretty for him.

*this is not fat shaming*

But I get a lot more compliments on my weight loss around those who were my og weight

And I get a lot of pity from those who are “healthy” weight

Both make me feel validated for some reason

Weird fanfic reader/writer thing ive noticed

A lot of people over or under estimate how far you can get in 30 minutes at a leisure walking pace 😂

I walk to work, both of my jobs, and I can go about a mile to a mile and a half in approx. 30 minutes. If I’m speed walking, easily 20 minutes

My flex of the year is my mom’s a health nut, so she’s totally oblivious to my an@.

“Woops I forgot to eat today”

“Eh, its just intermediate fasting”

[junebug-03]

Anyone else wear horizontal stripes to fool everyone into thinking your weightloss isnt as fast?

Gonna surprise everyone, its fun now

[incrediblythin]

Reblog if you started worrying about your weight before you were fourteen.

Getting a lil too drunk and vom—ing >>> getting baked and snacking

[junebug-03]

Whaaat? Noo! I’m totally not bringing food containers to work to trick my coworkers into thinking I’m eating haha

I’m not microwaving the same rice for the third day, saying its strawberries and a grilled chicken sandwich. (Yesterday, I “had” beef stew)

[junebug-03]

Bruuuh my new job only had small and large tshirt for my first few days, I usually size up to a medium so no one noticed when I lose weight. But now they know my true size and everyone keeps asking if I ate lunch 😭

[junebug-03]

My mom bought two cases of upton tea 😭

Its like 160 cals per serving, but I have to drink it or she’ll know…

Even just one every 2 or 3 is gonna set me back so much
