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

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.

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.

This is probably another throwback to a primitive time. In times of food stress or seasonal weather change, this would be very useful. It probably is something connected to fertility too.

All the people derailing this in notes makes me sick. Perverted fat fetishists. People complaining that this post gives them disphoria. People calling the OP a terf when that has nothing to do with the post in question.

The point is, women don’t need to be ashamed of our natural bodies! Even world class athletes have cellulite. Its presence means you’re more likely to survive the harshest hardships and that’s fucking metal.

[lilith-apologist]

its so funny op makes a post to make women feel better about out bodies and people think that that information should not be spread because they feel uncomfortable when things are not about them and also the op is a Nasty Woman

[radragana-deactivated20210527]

This explanation literally made me feel better about my body. Women are awesome! 😍

[trannosphere]

Even pointing out physical, real differences between men and women in order to boost women’s confidence and self worth is transphobic.

Peak trans for people in the back.

sometimes i wonder if the majority of straight men are even attracted to women. our natural faces are ugly. body hair is gross. our bodies are ugly because of female fat distribution (belly, cellulite). vaginas are so gross even the word cannot be uttered and has to be replaced with “vajajay” or “hoohah”. periods may not ever be mentioned. they want to have sex with women but a woman minus socially constructed beauty ideals (what women actually looks like) repulses them

COMBUSTION IN ASTROLOGY

What is a combustion?

Combustion is when any planet is closely conjunct to the Sun. To be more specific, conjunct from 0°18′ to 8°. If you have planets conjunct to the Sun from 9° to 15°, you would have your planets “under the beams.” It is possible to look at loose aspects made to the Sun since it’s arguably the strongest planet in your natal chart and it’s a strong luminary. If you have a planet conjunct to your Sun that is less than 0°18′, then you have what is called cazimi.

What’s the difference between combustion, “under the beams,” and cazimi in terms of effects?

As illustrated, the main thing the three conditions have in common is that they’re conjunctions made to the Sun. However, due to the varying degrees, the effects are different for each condition.

Combustion and “under the beams” are accidental debilities* while cazimi is an accidental dignity*.

What are the effects of having a combustion in the natal chart?

In order to understand why and how a combustion can be seen as an debility (accidental, to be exact,) you have to see the symbolic and literal imagery that is shown when a combustion is present in the natal chart.

The Sun is quite hot and bright. In western astrology, it is often generally seen to be a benefic planet while in Vedic astrology, it is seen to be a malefic planet. Western astrology tends to view the rays of the Sun to be positive, warm, and inspiring while Vedic astrology can often view the rays of the Sun to be destructive and hot, for these same rays can also burn up whatever is in its way.

When your planet is combust, imagine that planet engulfed and burned up in the Sun’s rays, specifically from the corona. The planet from there wouldn’t be seen due to the light of Sun covering it up. The planet’s effects in other words would be weakened because the Sun would be overpowering it. The planet would not be able to have its own individual shine, and can easily lose its separate identity from the Sun in the process. This can result in the native having the planet not easily seen, for there is a strong fusion between the planet and the Sun. All conjunctions in nature illustrate two planets working as a single unit. With a combustion, however, there can often be a “fusing” effect. The Sun and planet have essentially become “one,” with the Sun being strongly dominant.

With that in mind, the combust planet can often feel neglected for the native mainly because the functions of the planet will mostly manifest starting inside rather than outside the native. People with combust planets can often struggle to separate parts of themselves from the ego (Sun) and as a result, these planets can often be more sensitive. What natives have to ultimately learn is separate the combust planet from the Sun by placing unique emphasis to the combust planet so that it can maintain its own identity so that it can work with, rather than under the Sun’s influence.

What are the effects of having a planet “under the beams” with the Sun?

Having a planet “under the beams” is similar to a combustion, but to a lesser degree. While the combust planet is completely covered up by the Sun, having your planet “under the beams” can show a planet that can still be partially seen against the Sun’s powerful rays. That means that the planet will still have its own sphere of influence separate from the Sun, but this influence can be highly affected by the Sun.

What are the effects of having a planet in cazimi?

Having a planet in cazimi can show a planet that is in the center, or in the “heart” of the Sun. With cazimi, the planet is stronger, and the spotlight is placed onto the planet, since it is free from being burned away by the Sun’s rays. People with a planet in cazimi can often have a talent associated with the planet since the manifestation of planets in cazimi are very strong and can be applied externally in a positive manner. The planet in cazimi in this case functions has a complete, strong, separate entity from the Sun and can be seen as a planet that goes beyond the identity and ego.

What are the implications of combustion in astrology?

The two planets that are most likely to be combust are Venus and Mercury. Mercury can only be one sign away from your Sun while Venus can only be two signs away from the Sun. Having a combustion in these two planets can quite common, and it often implies the internal nature of our thoughts (Mercury) and our internal drive to meet our ideals (Venus.) It can often show the strong tie our mind and ideals can have to how we see ourselves.

A man who knows how to be soft and gentle is so attractive to me. A man desperately ignoring emotions and trying to preserve his hyper masculinity is such a turn off to me.
