ive always been willing to die on the hill of cis women being able to beat cis men in sports so nobody will ever ever make me concerned about trans women in womens sports even if i was delusional enough to believe that was a comparable situation. do i think a cis woman could beat a trans woman in fucking pickleball or whatever? Buddy I think a cis woman could beat a cis male bodybuilder in sports. You will not get me

this feels too important (and correct!!) to leave in the notes

Why Women Have Beaten Men in Marathon Swimming?

Research has shown that women, due to specific reasons, have regularly produced faster times than men in marathon swimming.

Women often outperform men in Olympic shooting. Is it time for open events?

The sport’s governing body says there is little difference in performance between genders. Should men and women compete head-to-head as indi

Men’s and Women’s Gymnastics: Exploring Differences in Olympic Events

Uncover the unique differences between men’s and women's gymnastics at the Olympics. Explore how these events contrast in style and rules.

Women outperform men in many sports, and in many instances, the men's versions of these sports are rewritten into completely different versions so that they can't be compared.

And if your reaction to this is "well women don't outperform men in skills that we typically find impressive" I would implore you to think about why things women tend to be better at than men are valued less by society.

If your reaction is "well that's cherrypicking examples, its such a small handful of formalized sports" I'd implore you to think of why so many popular sports are structured around the specific set of skills men are better at.

Because the answer starts with m and ends with isogyny.

Incredibly optimistic of these books to assume Chicago will still exist in the 26th century

[zetathegrouch]

Damn. Halo really said "500 years in the future everything about Chicago is the same except for Halstead is now a Straight bar district instead. For some reason."

[zetathegrouch]

The Unggoy referring to their family as "nipple brothers" is, in fact, the worst part of this entire franchise

What's your first thought upon seeing this cover?

The crazy thing is, the video game that this is adapting isn’t the homoerotic tension one involving an actual tentacle monster. Thats the other ones.

The ehlers danlos syndrome person to historical costumer pipeline is or will be a thing and I shall explain why.

At some point one discovers that some sort of supportive structure around your torso feels incredibly comfortable and gives your tired muscles a rest. What’s the coolest and most non obtrusive torso bracing garment? A corset. Believe me when I say that when your torso has the structural integrity of a wet sack of jello, a tightly laced corset makes you feel like a god.

And because historical corsets tend to be more comfortable and are usually made with regular wear in mind, they are the natural choice.

Then you have the shoes. What shoes is someone with unstable ankles supposed to wear, you ask?Lace up boots, for stability. And due to their middle of the heel heel placement, historical lace up boots tend to be way more comfortable than the modern variety.Even the non healed ones, really. Couple that with the fact that Edwardian and Victorian boots are really really pretty…

And after the boots and the corset, it’s a very slippery slope.

Pretty soon you’ll be wondering how to hide your corset under your clothes for when an outer corset is not the vibe, and you’ll be buying yourself a corset cover. Or making one yourself. They’re a great starter project. But that looks weird with a fitted top so cool flowy blouse it is.

Then you realize wearing this with a skirt makes you feel intensely powerful but you don’t want to keep tripping over it so you add petticoats.

And then you realize your neck isn’t so great at holding up your head so you really need to find a hairstyle where your hair sits on top of your head instead of to the sides or to the back so that it’s balanced and you don’t get a neck ache. A high bun it is. Not too tightly, because your scalp is sensitive, but a high bun still works if you bobby-pin it in place.

And then one day, you look in the mirror and you’re dressed like Anne of Green Gables.

And you’ve never looked cooler.

OP and other interested people, have i got a very real source for you.

Bernadette Banner on YouTube. She specialises in the Victorian Era, and had Scolliosis in her younger years, thus had to use a medical brace to support her spine. She now since wears actual historical corsets to continue providing her body support (and also because they look cool and are actually incredibly comfortable despite what modern society otherwise says)

Also the ADHD comorbidity leaving some (me) looking for something to fidget with while they watch TV. What's a great thing to keep your hands busy during hours of various shows? Handsewing. And there goes the slippery slope into historical practice
