THANK YOU JENNI HERD

dang Jenni, GO OFF

[westerogwarts-deactivated201906]

YES YES YES

[thentheysaidburnher]

Cellulite is a female secondary sex characteristic and should be celebrated as a rite of womanhood, not despised or eradicated.

[blackvulva-deactivated20150627]

it’s really a secondary sex characteristic?! 

[thentheysaidburnher]

It is. It has to do with the way our bodies network fat. Female bodies create sort of a mesh network to support fat (female bodies are MUCH more hardy in times of stress) and it can present as delightfully lumpy. More than 90% of women have visible cellulite, but all women store fat in this manner.

[blackvulva-deactivated20150627]

why did no one tell me this?!

[radiant-humble-deactivated20161]

You know why :/

[raspberry-mouse]

Spread this. I only just started to see mine and I started to freak out a bit. More people should/need to know about this

[shamelesslyunladylike]

Here’s an illustration of the aforementioned difference in fat storage.

Men’s lattice pattern collagen threads holds subcutaneous fat in a way that, when the skin expands because of the fat storage, it expands evenly. Women’s “pockets” expand unevenly when we accumulate fat, creating that orange peel effect. Our storage pattern means we can healthily store more fat than men. Like a woman with 25% body fat is average, a man with 25% body fat is chubby. Because of that, like OP said, women are hardier in times of stress or famine. It’s also one of the reasons why our bodies can survive pregnancy, which is a massive energy demand on our system.

And there’s absolutely NO “treatment” for cellulite that will work. They are all bullshit designed to separate you from your hard-earned cash. It’s a secondary sex characteristic, it’s perfectly normal and it’s not going away no matter what you do. Like I’m very lean myself and I work out 5~6 times a week, and I still have cellulite. Someone giving a woman shit for having cellulite is akin to giving her shit for having skin. It’s just a mixture of misogyny and corporate greed.

Love your lumpy skin, ladies. It means you are a badass surviving machine shaped by millenia of evolution.

[radladiesunite]

yup!

[behindthegoddess-deactivated201]

I don’t care if it’s a secondary sex characteristic. It’s gross. Can we stop trying to save people’s feelings?

[sangredesirena78463748-deactiva]

what ever happened to science and logic over muh feelings? your feelings towards it being gross does not change the fact that it’s completely normal and caused by differences in fat storage

[virtualmindspace]

Yep. Totally natural. Hating on women for having cellulite and general thigh/butt fat is simply anti-woman. And the propensity to store so much subcutaneous fat is actually what makes women less susceptible to cardiovascular disease than men who store more fat viscerally.

[sangredesirena78463748-deactiva]

i’m sorry ma’am that’s too logical and i’m afraid it doesn’t fit the anti sjw, pro logic agenda

[ailbhe-gru-brath-deactivated201]

You know what else is natural? Body odour. Disliking body odour doesnt make me anti-anyone, it makes me anti body odour. I’m also anti stretch marks, which appear on men and women, because the look like scratches and scars, which I dont like. It being normal does not change the fact that the majority of people find it highly unattractive. and yes, its your prerogative to continue to look unattractive to people. You have no obligation to make yourself look pretty, just like you have no obligation to shower or use deodorant. But people will comment - as is their prerogative.

[sangredesirena78463748-deactiva]

body odor smells bad. cellulite doesn’t. you can prevent body odor. you can’t rewire your cells to hold fat differently, even thin fashion models and fit women have cellulite. and it only happens to women. how is hating an unpreventable characteristic innate to women that hurts absolutely no one, not anti woman, or contributes to the idea that women’s bodies and faces are inherently gross? if you are repulsed by cellulite and stretch marks and scars, good luck finding a woman without them that isn’t a blowup sex doll. i’ve been below average weight my entire life with several years of disordered eating patterns, and i still have stretch marks, cellulites, and scars. men like to think of themselves as so tough, yet squeal like pigs over a little lumpy skin and white stripes on women’s thighs

[hmsindecision]

And another thing about that rhetoric that bothers me… I cannot imagine a lesbian wanting a partner that wasn’t enthusiastic about her vulva. Like, if someone was repulsed by my genitals, I would never date them, never have sex with them. It would never feel right, and I know for a fact that it would be awful.

I dated a woman once who identified as bi while we were dating. I broke up with her partly because the one time we had sex made me deeply uncomfortable. After we dated, she started identifying herself as straight–no hard feelings on either side, she just realized that whatever she was feeling for women wasn’t sexual attraction. Obviously, we never would have dated if either of us had known that, and we were friends afterward with her feeling no regret about the experience.

The sex wasn’t good because, quite frankly, she wasn’t into vulva. Her touching me was uncomfortable for both of us, and I would never, ever pressure someone into something they don’t enjoy. So we stopped and that was that!

So these people who say you should still date or have sex with people whose genitals repulse you, or people who are comfortable having sex with people clearly repulsed by their genitals–they are missing the empathetic response to other people’s discomfort.

In essence, if you can orgasm knowing that this is not the sex your partner wants to have, you are having sociopathic sex.

I’ll never forget the confession I saw once from a trans woman saying that their girlfriend never initiated sex, and didn’t enjoy it. They said their girlfriend had very satisfying sexual relationships in the past and they wondered if they were keeping her from being happy.

The answer is yes. If you want someone to have sex with you that they don’t want to have, you are selfish and disgusting, and it shouldn’t surprise you that we are so repulsed by you. You are placing your entitlement over her ability to be happy.

[bonbonlanguage]

You know what I think is really cool about language (English in this case)? It’s the way you can express “I don’t know” without opening your mouth. All you have to do is hum a low note, a high note, then another lower note. The same goes for yes and no. Does anyone know what this is called?

Do you ever read a fanfic that is just so good it just sticks with you into days or even weeks after you’ve read it. Like you could be sitting in class or alone in your room and suddenly you’re just like, wow, that was a really good fanfic. Like it was really good.

kosmici: ponieważ są ludzie, którzy myślą, że angielski to jedyny język, którego potrzebuję

ja: rozumiem, w porządku

[vyrkann]

io: perchè state distruggendo la terra!!!

alieni: perchè ci sono delle persone che credono che l’inglese sia l’unica lingua di cui hanno bisogno

io: capisco, mi sembra giusto

[rad-and-sleepy]

Yo: porqué estás destruyendo la tierra!?!?

Extraterrestre: porque hay personas quienes creen que inglés es la única lengua que se tiene que hablar.

Yo: te entiendo, es justo.

[haxyr3]

Я: Почему вы уничтожаете Землю?!?! Инопланетяне: Потому что есть люди, которые считают, что им нужно говорить только по-английски. Я: А, ну понятно, тогда ладно!

[unstoppableforce-immovableobject]
