“People who love themselves, don’t hurt other people. The more we hate ourselves, the more we want others to suffer.”

In the age of instant, remember that some of life's best moments are worth the wait.

his legal name being 'and ken' is so genius he's literally just barbie's accessory this movie is for real men

[convieldu]

“The Barbie movie is anti-men”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

This movie acknowledges that men suffer from loneliness, that patriarchy is detrimental to their mental health (Mattel CEO saying he’s tired and just want to be silly goofy with his buddies, which is sooo valid) and that men struggle to figure who they are outside of their gender role and/or relationship.

The Ken song you all love so much literally leads to the Kens setting aside their rivalry to form a brotherhood and start questioning what they really want and who they really are.

This is the most pro-men movie I have ever seen, you guys are just brainwashed and don’t know how to snap out of it

It's bitterly funny to me that people still think cancel culture is a real thing. So many men have been accused of sexual violence and gone on to enjoy high-profile careers.

Men get "cancelled" and then go on to become Supreme Court justices and the President of the United States. Women get mercilessly ripped to shreds when they name their attackers.

This is your daily reminder to not be ashamed of making your life easy for yourself.

Cut your food into small pieces, make the font size 30 on your e book, use straws to drink, get a pen that’s comfortable to hold, take more naps, walk slowly, eat another cookie, buy velcro shoes, re-watch the part you couldn’t understand the first time, write things on your hands so you don’t forget it… whatever you want and/or need

Don’t let anyone tell you how you should be doing things. We don’t need to prove each other anything

I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.

What I struggle with the most about beauty culture is how pervasive it is. You can be aware of the origins of beauty culture, how harmful it is, the commodification of bodies into trends, which companies are benefitting from selling insecurities. And still, you can’t escape it. You feel the need to change something, which society will inevitably change their opinion on in a couple years (or sooner, as fast fashion and globalisation increases trend turnover.) People create new insecurities every day out of bone structure. It’s horrifying how oppression is repackaged as empowerment, and women are indoctrinated into the belief it’s a choice. And of course this is intentional. Fight each other so you don’t fight those in charge. Society pushes you into something, traps you in a system that reinforces these beliefs through every agent of socialisation, ostracises you for resisting, and it’s meant to be a choice? Individual actions cannot be wholly separated from the greater community if society conditions the choices we make and who can make them, if the choices we make are still within that system. Placed on an island with no prior concept of cosmetic surgery or makeup or comparison, would I still look at a natural feature of my body and feel the need to change it? The objectification goes so deep.

This conversation is more complex, and requires more nuance, than one response can give (especially to address the intersectional factors that contextualise how people exist within this culture of beauty). This is a starting point
