My favorite thing about this is that the ātraditionalā woman isnāt always on the left. By switching it up the artist is really committing to the idea that the right way for a woman to be is however she wants.
Just wish some of the women were plus size..
I really love how much Laineyās art and positivity is bringing people joy and I really hope youāre checking out her insta, itās full of so many more
It got better
I just canāt.... hahahahha
Yall know that ātoxic masculinityā refers to expressions of masculinity that are toxic, right? it doesnāt imply that all masculinity is toxic- itās used to talk about like, how people will repress their emotions aside from anger in order to seem āmanlyā, and how they might act in violent or self-destructive ways because that is what society expects of men.
masculinity is not inherently toxic. it hasnāt been poisoned or corrupted. it is a neutral concept, a kind of gender presentation, and it doesnāt make you a bad, unhealthy, or toxic person to be masculine.
masculinity does not need to be āsoftā to be acceptable, it can just be neutral. because it is not toxic, just sometimes expressed in toxic ways or for toxic reasons.
Does this mean there is toxic femininity?
imo? Yes.
Like when white women fake cry to win arguments, or to appear to be the victim (despite how much damage they may have caused), or when female abusers point to their femininity as a reason they couldnāt possibly be hurting anyone. Or when the girls in school weaponize their performances of femininity against more androgynous, less traditionally attractive, or more masculine girls.
Plenty of cis women have a similarly toxic relationship to femininity as cis men do to masculinity. A good example of a less material expression might be the tendency to self-martyr, using the ācaregiverā role to guilt trip and gaslight, and abuse in a more manipulative, emotional/mental way than the physical aggression more typical with toxic masculinity.
The patriarchy rewards gender conformity, and requires cis people of both genders to uphold it. Cis women are at a structural disadvantage to cis men regardless, but can absolutely gain more social power by adhering more strictly to traditional femininity- and weaponize that power against others.
jameela jamil is like the only famous person iāve seen that actually Cares about the way girls are being manipulated. celebrities preach and preach about the body positive movement until itās time to sell fitness tea on their instagram, or until promoting an extremely unhealthy ideal becomes profitable for them in some way. itās so gross to spew bullshit about self love to an audience of impressionable young people and then in the very next post demand that they buy x product in order to not be hideous lolĀ
jameela jamil is simply the best
i started reading After by Anna Todd, because the trailer for the movie actually intrigued me and not gonna lie, iām like 70 pages in and this shit is addictive lol
i didnāt expect it to be so explicit, but like, bring on the smut lolololol
this book is honestly an Experienceā¢
guys, iām halfway through already what even
okay so hear me out this book isnāt likeā¦ top notch literature (itās SO much better than 50 shades, though, like, miles apart) but what i can appreciate is that, despite the toxicity in the relationship (honestly, this shit is toxic as fuck and likeā¦ just no, Ā¾ times they scream at each other), the sexual situations are always consensual, he makes sure sheās okay, sheās sure, sheās ready and I really appreciate that
there are actually some really sweet moments in here guys, iām genuinely enjoying this what the fuck
jesus fucking christ, this is messed up whaaaaaaaaaaat Iām genuinely so sorry for Tessa the sheets, man? SERIOUSLY? god
OH MY GOSH WHAT THE HELL IS THAT ENDING i am such trash for this story what even is wrong with me lolololol Iāll just change my name to ādumpster fireā jfc
Iām 100 pages into the second book š¤¦āāļøš¤·āāļøš¤¦āāļøš¤·āāļøš¤¦āāļøš¤·āāļø
This is why I love you.!
This makes me so happy to hear, because I honestly had to force myself to stop reading this afternoon WHO AM I
Iām almost half way through the second book andā¦ *deep breath*ā¦ fuck me, I c a r e donāt get me wrong, this is honestly the most toxic relationship iāve ever read about (iām not counting 50 shades, because i donāt want to remind myself of that particular torture), but even Tessa and Hardin admit how terrible they are for each other, so go off I guess lol
I would like to personally thank the 4 or so people who I have corrupted so far into reading this stupid book/series I hope you have fun in the dumpster, thereās plenty of room here for all us trash
Tessa just said Zedās name in her sleep and Hardin heard and now I am Stressedā¢ why do i care about this fuck knows but I am stresssssssedddddd
listen here, this is breaking my heart and i wasnāt prepared for emotional turmoil what even the fuck
what the FUCK WHY CANāT THESE STUPID KIDS FIGURE SHIT OUT i am hurTING
My dearest Mary, Iām here if you need to talk. This was me a few years back and āI careā itās the only way one can describe what this book does to people.
ALEX IāM NOT SUPPOSED TO CARE WHY DO I CARE SO MUCH FUCK THIS BOOK
these two IDIOTS are so goddamned cute I cannot with them right now oh mY GOD
GODDAMN YOU AND YOUR CLIFFHANGERS, ANNA i finished book 2, you guys someone slap me
*slaps*
Iām sorry but whyyyyy Mary whyyyyyyy
ITāS SO ADDICTIVE I CANāT STOP FUCKING READING ITāS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE *guess who started book 3*
Guys, something that I do need to insist on: I am NOT recommending these books. Likeā¦ the relationship depicted is probably the most damaging and toxic and emotionally abusive Iāve ever read about and thereās no progress to it, they keep fighting and screaming at each other and breaking up and manipulating each other and itās justā¦not something to romanticise. If you do decide to read it, do it for fun or hate read it or whatever, but donāt romanticise it.
This being said, Iām likeā¦60 pages into book 3 and I took a break over the weekend to reread ACOTAR and be trash for something else for 48 hours lololol
If you ever question any of your decisions, remind yourself that my stupid ass willingly returned to the After universe after 3 days of break, because I really do hate myself and seeing these two dumbasses continue to fight over the stupidest of shit and fuck each other up over and over again is entertaining
anyway, iām like 100 pages in lolol
hardin is a goddamn psychopath what even is wrong with this chiiiiiiiild
iām getting annoyed and this is NOT a good sign
lord give me strength to not look for anna todd and hit her in the head repeatedly with her own books but who am i to talk, iām still here, reading, because this shit is too addictive for my trash self to let it go
Omg I didnāt know that someone feel the same about these books :āD
You can read the books really fast, the plot is really addictive, but the most people in it are the worst kind of people with terible desicionmaking skill and really toxic relationships..
the thing about being someone whoās never catcalled is that you start to wonder why like is it because im ugly???
and then you realize that youre judging your worth by whether or not you are objectifiable to a man and thats so fucked up like honestly its so fucked upĀ
but the worst part about the patriarchy is that it still sits at the back of your mind regardless like ānobody thinks youre pretty because they dont see you as a sex objectā like somehow thats a desirable thing and it fucks me up
Youāre either public property or completely invisible.
I feel that
hi everyone im still pissed we never learnt in school that shakespeare was bi and wrote the sonnets about a dude and a woc he was into
hi everyone im still pissed that we were told emily dickinson was a spinster when she spent her whole life writing love letters to a woman
hi everyone im still pissed about the fact that we never got taught any of the super super gay Greek myths. it seems impossible to think they managed to pick all the hetero myths when Greece was just THAT gay but guess what? they did.
hi everyone virginia woolf was also bi im still pissed that so much of literature is queer and has queer coding within it that deserves to be analysed through that lens in the same way that we donāt ignore the gender of an author, but sexuality is never mentioned in highschool literature classes
hi everyone iām still pissed that we were never taught that da vinci was gay af and that the ideal the western world has of jesus (white, long straight brown hair) was based on one of his male lovers
hi everyone iām still pissed that we were told sir isaac newton died a virgin when he had multiple boyfriends over the course of his life one of whom he wrote passionate love letters too and lived with
hi everyone iām still pissed that the reasons for alexander the greatās suicide are still taught as āunclearā when it was actually due to overwhelming grief because his male lover died

You are the finest, loveliest, tenderest, and most beautiful person I have ever known- and even that is an understatement.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, āLetter to Zelda Fitzgerald,ā 1939 (via wordsnquotes)
A tragedy is a tragedy, no matter what, but Iāve learned that it doesnāt define who we are and it doesnāt weaken us. It makes us stronger.
Jennifer L. Armentrout, Forever with You (via fangirl-in-a-world-full-of-books)
The loneliest moment in someoneās life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby. (via wordsnquotes)
Iām tired, canāt think of anything and want only to lay my face in your lap, feel your hand on my head and remain like that through all eternity.
Franz Kafka
(via regular-love)
I closed my eyes as I whispered closely to my heart, āPlease do not fall in love with someone you cannot have. ā Yet when I saw whatās behind that beautiful eyes of yours, I felt my heart betrayed me once more.
ma.c.a // It feels right, but itāll also hurt so bad (via vomitingwords)
I keep forgetting this when I have high expectations of people
Always keep this in mindš
Underneath my outside face Thereās a face that none can see. A little less smiley, A little less sure, But a whole lot more like me.
Shel Silverstein, āUnderfaceā (via wordsnquotes)
self-confidence, iām realizing, is a lot deeper than just thinking iām beautiful and being free in who i am. it also includes being confident in my decisions and trusting myself to be committed to the things i want to do. to step outside of my comfort zone and assure myself that i will be okay in doing so. this kind of self-confidence will help me see the success i want to see.
