#pickme

[overtlydinosaurian]

Gonna start calling it what it is, when people who wear a lot of makeup with detailed skin routines: "upper class luxury," bc it is, and while mentioning makeup rituals in feminism is important, rn ""pickme"" discourse is so bad it's not a useful critique.

I just wanna see the tiktokers squirm to defend how having $500 to spend on makeup and skincare products and 2 hours in a day to apply it is somehow NOT a luxury good and NOT something only the upper class can realistically perform, and then expect lower classes to replicate with less money and less time.

Like they supposedly hate capitalism so much (even if yes they clearly love it) how can they justify that? Is their idea of feminism separate or contradictory towards anti-capitalism? I wanna see what they have to say...

I had to actually look up the definition of "pickme" because there's a certain point where I feel like I'm losing my mind because I swear it's AAVE and when I look at sources defining it absolutely nothing specific to black women comes up until I get a lead with the 2016 "#tweetlikeapickme" and finally get some results:

And it's like ah yes, I was right, look at both who is writing these tweets and the specific contexts surrounding the term, it was [my definition]:

A term used by black women to described another black woman when the latter engages in misogynoir to gain the attention and approval of black men. "Pick me instead!"

But because the Internet is structured like it is, when AAVE is accidently introduced to a much larger non-black audience, you get:

🌻 How To Live Your Best Ace Life! 🌻♠|The Girlies are BREAKING social norms & gender roles| Ep20

https://youtu.be/74JEEV6tSXI

We are following up with part 2 to conclude discussing the gender expressions, gender roles, and social markers of QUEER Gen Z and young Millennial women. The girlies are QUEER and aren't living for the male gaze. The girlies are prioritizing their humanity for their authentic expression. From body hair, pixie cuts, nonconformity, LGBTQIA+ acceptance and rejecting cishet normative social scripts.

This includes partnering (amatonormativity), child labor aka procreating (compulsory sexuality), and the 4B movement (refusing allosexuality/gender roles/cishet patriarchy as the default). Let's discuss why the girlies are queer and how queerness opposes hierarchal caste systems such as pickme politics/trade wife indoctrination/soft life aesthetics/hypergamy power plays etc. Full link to this video in the bio!

love after one date

im a very picky person when it comes to picking me. what does that mean exactly? you want things a certain way, you like things are certain way, you want love a certain. you see, picky. and yet? when are you going to pick yourself or choose yourself.

im a young woman that wants to fall in love. and yet? it feels nearly impossible. for one i am great at telling stories but on a date i can feel so mute. is it the person or is it me? will i say the wrong thing and that person doesnt pick me. will i look different and that person wont pick me. pick pick pick.

if im not falling in love after one date, are they even the one? how could i fall in love later. ppl think im pretty? someone would pick me? i need to just pick me.
