[G]hosts are gendered. [...] Of course, the very notion of gender is culturally constructed, just as ghosts are culturally constructed. Edith Wharton once asked, "What in the world constitutes a ghost except the fact of its being known for one?" Ghosts and gender both require naming and performing and are not at all uncomplicated, innate, or inherent things.

if you don't enter my home when I'm older and instantly think it's haunted I'm burning it down

we need more feminist horror

#there is so much potential there #rambling #the beauty industry… anti ageing… dieting….#female gender roles as a demon haunting you…#the prison of femininity…#menstruation pregnancy abortion as body horror #subversing horror tropes of female exploitation and male violence…#men as monsters… the patriarchy as a haunted house… competition between women as curse…#or just female slashers and serial killers who are not sexy for the female gaze #liberal feminism encouraging ‚sex work‘ as a cult #as some sort of commentary #WITCHES… the last girl becoming ‚evil‘ but what really is evil…#intergenerational female trauma…#male religion > occult horror #zombie as symbolism of trauma…#MOTHER DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIPS

Older woman calls me a pet name: 🥰😊💚🩷🌸✨

Someone online calls me a pet name: 🥰😊💚🩷🌸✨

Older man calls me a pet name: ❌🤬🙅🏻⚰️🔪🪓🧨

#the elf talks #I’m not your sweetheart unless you are queer or an 70+ year old woman #liek I don’t know what it is and I know it’s a me problem but like if a man calls me any pet name I will maimbitekill #actually wait I might know #It’s that they wouldn’t do it if I was a man but since I sound femme they feel comfortable doing it where as online and olde women I would #be called that no matter what and that’s comforting #my voice is so high and feminine it haunts me every day #oh well at least this one did tell me to work a phone sex line

behind every hot girl is a deep history with the horror genre

#something something the horror of girlhood #and not just the horror of navigating the world esp as a young girl but also #the horror of /being/ a girl #the horror of occupying a feminine body #or even identifying with femininity even if u don't occupy a feminine body #and then turning to horror as a genre to process ur own existence and place and experiences in this world #and finding women of all ages dominating the horror genre #from ghosts with striaght long hair and dead black eyes #to victims #to be haunted and to be haunting #and this is by no means a condemnation of girlhood #but perhaps the distorted version of life that girls are exposed to #i was less than five years old when i figured out i would be mocked for wanting toy cars #going this deep bec horror is actually my fav genre #also shoutout to all the girlies who r obsessed w true crime this is also for u

[Ghosts] want to be remembered. Much like infants who don't have the words for what they need or young Puritan girls living seen-but-not-heard under the tyranny of the Christian patriarchy, poltergeists act out in order to be acknowledged. They are the supernatural embodiment of the deeply human need to be understood.
