I support free the nipple as a movement of course it's just mildly confusing to me because I simply cannot imagine any scenario in which I'd want to be completely topless in public. all the love and support to those who want to be allowed to do so but subjectively this feels like a political movement pushing for the right to print out and distribute one's entire internet search history to passersby on the street. and I realize that I am the weird one here and That's Fine but I really cannot stress enough how lines like "imagine being topless at a park on a hot summer day" sound closer to "descriptions of actual nightmares I've had" than "aspirational political goals" to me. do not perceive me under any circumstances.

Separately because the specific example isn’t really the point: everybody I think at this point understands that when the explanation for women’s absence from a job/field/role is “women are stupid” or “women are weak”, that’s sexism and gender essentialism.

I really wish it was as well understood that, in fiction and real life, when the explanation is “women are too smart to bother” or “women would be Too Good at this if they did it and then where would we be” or “women are too busy doing other more important things* to bother” that’s sexism and gender essentialism as well. Especially - extremely especially - if the thing they are allegedly too smart or potentially good at or busy to do is one that gives access to wealth, influence, and/or power.

See also: “oh the administrators/secretaries/low level staff (mostly women) actually run this place”. Okay but do they control the budgets though? Are they able to make important decisions without anybody else’s sign-off though? Are they paid commensurate to this alleged power though? Well, are they?

*double if the “more important things” are domestic labour or care work but I assume we all know that.

everyone acts like your only choice is total excess or complete abstinence. what about moderation… what happened to my good old girl Moderation?

ilove when someone posts about an issue that's supposedly plaguing society and it's painfully obvious that said issue is not a thing that matters if youre not on tiktok

thinking abt how ive seen a bajillion ads for men to fix their broken ED dicks but literally nothing for female sexual dysfunction ever

[teamrr]

also adding to this "slut shaming" is literally the stupidest word ever to use for shaming womens sexuality. imagine if homophobia was called "fag shaming". is anybody else seeing this

Something I absolutely love is not caving into the pressure of "you HAVE to watch popular gay show the writing is actually competent and they won't ruin it this time" and being like "hmmm I don't know... I watched popular gay show before and it turned bad..." only to much later get your door knocked on and it's your mutuals crestfallen and you get to be like "let me guess. it turned bad."

Y'all do know that people have to actually GROW in order for us to "accept their growth". That's the bit. You're not a child. You actually have to put in the work to become the person you want us all to assume you are.

ppl are always saying that women are "allowed to cry" more than men are but I don't really think being expected to is the same as being "allowed" to without judgement, because generally the social judgement is still extremely present and imo not made much better by it being a "typical behavior from the likes of you" flavor of contempt
