*Important Note: Some of these brands may or may not be sold in other countries that require animal testing by law in order for the products to be sold, but I don’t have the time to research animal testing laws outside the US as well as what brands sell in those countries. So I’m leaving this one up to you.

Okay, this has been in my drafts for at least 3 months now. Time to roll it out! Keep in mind, these are videos/bloggers that helped me specifically and there may be some videos/links that aren’t as useful to you. That’s okay! I recommend you get lost in the beauty blogger side of youtube at some point, it’s a lot of fun and you never know what you’ll find!

And on a last note of disclaimer: I don’t follow the personal lives/twitter feed/rumors about anyone in these videos. I don’t know if someone is problematic or not, I am simply recommending the video.

wonderful resource for nonbinary/trans people who have a desire to wear makeup, but were never taught because of gross gender roles

Be careful who you vent to.

If you’re ok with using the word “feminazi” please just unfollow me.

I don’t feel like reblogging the offending post, but I’m not kidding.

Don’t disrespect either the feminist movement or the reality of the Holocaust that way.

You think someone’s feminism is problematic, cool. Critique it. But don’t throw that word around.

If someone is putting men down because they’re men I will call them a feminazi because it’s similar to what Hitler did - put groups of people down without any good explanation.

durnesque-esque

I’m sorry, by “putting men down” did you mean IN FUCKING GAS CHAMBERS????

Because I’m pretty sure you can’t equate feminism to THE BLOODY HOLOCAUST.

You can’t even equate BAD feminism to the Holocaust. Because bad feminism hasn’t KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE.

I’ll say it one more time: if you’re ok with using the word “feminazi” get out. You cannot equate the systematic obliteration of people with the desire for equality among the genders.

DON’T DISRESPECT THE SURVIVORS AND VICTIMS OF THE HOLOCAUST WITH SHITTY TERMINOLOGY.
