Good Browife

As a good otterwife, he has to prepare delicious stuff for his bear men. After all, their big balls require a lot of protein and their big bellies a lot of calories to adequately please him. There are clear roles in every bro household to function well.

Pet peeve related to a post of mine that people have been tagging weirdly: I don’t get why you would call a dude who’s caring towards kids a mother. like "oooh he’s such a mom for this." No he’s not? You’re not breaking any gender norms, just drawing attention to the fact you believe so deeply that childcare is a woman’s job that you can’t conceive of a man filling that role.

Or if what you’re saying is actually: "he’s caring in the way mothers are caring," you’re still not making a revolutionary statement. You’re saying tenderness and gentleness are inherently feminine and unmanly. It’s like saying that a man doing the dishes or baking is "wife-coded" which I’ve seen some of you say btw. Which is insane to me

If you’d say of a nurturing guy that he’s a mother then I have to assume you’d call a tough gal who teaches kids to play rough a "father". (I know you wouldn’t and yet it’s the exact same thing.) And mulling that over for a minute should make it plain to you why that’s just a sexist view of parenthood.

#When you break gender categories so hard that you loop back around to saying ‘father’ and ‘mother’ are roles and not descriptors #You guys are so ‘gender non-conforming’ you’re weirder about gender roles than the conservatives #sexism

if you want future generations of human beings to live in a world that is at least a tiny bit less awful, one very small thing you can do is give a shit about animals (and other organisms) that dont directly benefit/appeal to you and accept the notion of living alongside them

like the world that most of us here are fighting for is going to mean you may get bitten by mosquitos because a healthy environment will support and control them (and no ones saying you cant swat them), and there may be more coyotes and other predators living alongside humans and theyll sometimes eat little dogs and thats just a fact of life (while helping control prey animal populations, reduce ticks, etc), and there will be Bugs around you filling innumerable vital roles supporting their environment (leading all the way up the food chain to you), and you may not be able to do every single thing you want to do bc some frog or fish 3.05 people have ever heard of is being protected in your area, and there may be animals that can go extinct without ever affecting humans or anything in our web for better or worse and are still of value to their environments and as living beings regardless, and lots of things like that

capitalism is the biggest barrier to conservation by far and no individual's 'human footprint' will ever even remotely compare to the damage caused by industry, but you have personal responsibility to the environment YOU live in and can make an individual difference on that small scale. part of that is accepting the worth of things that may not matter to you personally.

#like the role of capitalism cannot and should not ever be diminished but like #on small scales one of the bigger challenges to conservation is people just not giving a shit about #rhings that arent charismatic of pleasant or directly beneficial

In a hypothetical scenario where TotK Ganondorf had to go to Gerudo Town to do recon, he would not trundle up to the city gates in drag. We know he’s incredibly skilled at shapeshifting and illusions, and that he can very convincingly pass as a teenaged girl, even though he couldn’t truly fool close friends who knew that girl intimately. He grew up surrounded by women and is relatively shrewd at picking up on and mimicking social cues. He’s a very talented actor who probably would’ve been a massive primo uomo divo terrorizing directors everywhere in theatre if he hadn’t gotten into politics.

He would put effort into his womansona. He would do research on contemporary fashions. He’d give her a whole reasonably convincing backstory to work with, and he wouldn’t be held back by the pressure of having to do a perfect imitation of a real living celebrity. He could even get a pair of fake glasses to hide his vessel’s creepy dead puppet eyes. In fact, it’s extremely likely that he has prior experience in Being A Girl, because pretending to be a normal person instead of The One And Only Boy was probably the only way he could get the more manipulative regents who were in charge while he was still young, the various hangers-on trying to dig their claws into him, and the extremely pushy and annoying suitors who saw “no” as “playing hard to get” to leave him alone.

speaking of Pearl Davis--and speaking as someone who finds the current "fat positivity" movement morally repugnant--one thing that really irks me about the redpill space's view of women is this idea that whatever a man can achieve through exercise, a woman can also achieve the exact same way in the same time frame.

a healthy exercise regimen for a woman looks like daily walks and strength training 2-3x per week. she should not be doing HIIT often, and especially not on her period, but she probably won't be getting a period at all if she trains the same way a gym bro does.

a healthy and sustainable rate of weight loss for a woman looks like 2 lbs per week. when I hear a woman say she dropped 20 lbs in a month, I know she's either going to gain it all back or encounter chronic health issues (like my very own gallstone, which women develop at a rate nearly 3 times higher than men).

Women metabolize more lipids, and correspondingly less carbohydrates and proteins, than equally trained and nourished men. Females tend to have a greater proportion of body fat than men, which is stored in the gluteal-femoral region in women compared with the visceral area in men. Total cross-sectional muscle area is 60%–85% lower in women than in men, and greater muscle mass activation requires increased need to replenish stores and increased glycogen breakdown turnover. Males have greater skeletal muscle mass, and women have more body fat. There is also an overall increased left ventricular end-diastolic volume in males compared with that found in females.

also noted in the study is the decreased insulin sensitivity some people experience after a HIIT workout, and I would argue insulin resistance is women's greatest hurdle when it comes to losing weight

we were designed to store fat to sustain ovulation and pregnancy. it is not only easier for us to gain it and harder for us to shed it than it is for a man, the very strategies that work for a man may work against a woman.

#- HK #and just because something worked for one woman doesn't mean it will work for another #the woman with healthy hormone levels is already 70% of the way there #x #health #I am glad that conservatives writ large tho are finally leaning in to the drastic biological differences between men and women #and not just the social roles they generate #Allie's been talking more about hormone health and Jordan Peterson and Michael Knowles have also touched on it #warms my heart it really does

26. freebie question, a good while back (before the party split) you mentioned that a possibly interesting ship would be Imogen/FCG. Obviously canon has not gone that direction, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on Imogen and FCG's relationship :D

It is interesting because Imogen hasn't interacted with FCG a ton. I think that friendship sort of fizzled out once FCG started believing in their personhood and particularly after they began building a relationship with the Changebringer. Imogen was not terribly supportive of that (possibly jealous, or possibly just not sure how to engage with it) and so there really hasn't been much.

They are really interesting as parallels, actually, though actually pretty much everyone in the party except for Orym and Chetney fit in this to some degree. Like Imogen (and Fearne), FCG was given particular powers by a megalomaniacal entity, for the purpose of furthering those goals. I think Predathos grants somewhat more agency to loyal Ruidusborn than Aeor entrusted FCG with, though that is to be seen, but there's something very tragic, in my mind, from Imogen's perspective, about how FCG was the tool of a destroyed empire, and so while he still carries those scars and consequences, he actually does have the freedom to be his own person. FCG has to manage a serious chronic condition, essentially, but they don't have missions, and unless some of the wilder theories are right (and they could be, though I have my doubts) the ones who did this to them are long dead. Is this her future? Will she be left with dreams and telepathy even if they defeat Predathos? Will they be the upsides (controllable sorcery powers) or the downsides (nightmares, uncontrollable sorcery powers)? Why did FCG get to just sleep through the hard part and she has to fight her way out?

It really is a fascinating thing about the party: Fearne and FCG were designed to be who they are (though Fearne's upbringing at least was her own). Ashton was partially created in a cult ritual (though it remains unclear if they were the intended recipient or merely the one it happened to stick to). I don't think Imogen was planned a la Fearne, but I do wonder if Predathos or the Weave Mind did specifically target Liliana to ensure her daughter would also be Ruidusborn. While the nature of Laudna's sorcery abilities hasn't come up (and, to be fair, a lot of sorcery abilities in D&D are just like "well that happened to your baby, idk what to tell you") she was used by Delilah for that as well. So much of this party shares this with Imogen and FCG but I think they are the most extreme examples (Fearne is mostly unaffected physically/mentally though obviously learning of her origins is unsettling and upsetting, and Ashton and Laudna's situations mostly hurt them and not as often others, though Laudna's is increasingly a crapshoot) and I think as this became apparent and as they both grew more comfortable with who they were they sort of lost that connection.

They do still share a lot of powers though and I'd love to see them talk again - Laura and Sam always play off each other well, and those earlier interactions where they both tried to read each other's thoughts, or coordinate probing Ashton or Ollie's mind, or the first casting of Shared Dream were all delightful - but they have drifted apart since.

Sorry guys, rant incoming. I considered deleting this but I put too much effort in.

"girlboss" "girl dinner" "girl math" "boy math" "gen z are making fun of us for wearing x" "here's how to dress like gen z:" "girlies" "girl's night" "boy's night" "me and the boys" "90s kid"

"I don't feel like an adult" "I'm 34 and I can tell you, I still don't feel like an adult either." "My parents seemed like real adults when they were my age." "I still feel like a teenager."

Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you started calling yourself one. Maybe you'd feel more like an adult if you stopped trying to dress like a teenager. Maybe you should move your bed out from the wall and get a wallet. Maybe find a calendar app that works for you.

You are an adult. Even if you live with your parents. Even if you do part-time shift work at minimum wage. Even if you haven't graduated college. Even if you are single. These are adult things to do. Because you are doing them. And you are an adult. Start treating yourself like an adult. Fake it 'till you make it if you have to.

In other, writing-related, news:

That trend on TikTok of 20-40 something women authors (and writers yet to be published) promoting their books like,

"Omg! I can't believe I've sold X number of copies!! I never thought I would!" "Ahhhh imagine publishing your book and all your dreams come true and now you get to meet famous authors and work with big names in the industry!!" "Would you read a book where [proceeds to list a bunch of oversaturated tropes that tell me nothing about the actual plot]?"

It reeks of infantilization. If you didn't believe anyone would want to read your book, why should I? You made it on the NYT bestseller list! Stop acting like a mega-fan who got to meet a celebrity. You are their peer! "Would you read a book--" What if I wouldn't? Why does it matter to you what I think of your book? And for the love of god stop hiding behind tropes you know are already popular. "Here is my book: This is what it is about." Have some goddamn confidence.

It is fine to mention in passing "this idea was really far-fetched so I didn't know if it would appeal" or "I was struggling with self-esteem when I wrote this". It's fine to fan a little bit. It's fine to discuss the tropes in your book. But why are you building your brand as an author off of your inferiority complex? You are using your poor self-esteem as a marketing tactic to seem "humble" and "relatable" but it's coming across as unprofessional and desperate for reassurance. You are an adult. You are competent. The more you act like it the more you will believe it.

And of course, I haven't seen a man promote his book this way...

On another note, do any of the 20-40 something women writers who do "write with me" videos on TikTok actually enjoy writing or are they just doing it for the aesthetic?

They all have gorgeous minimalism writing spaces full of white and pink and a macbook beneath a window. Their makeup is done and they are conventionally pretty to start with. But their entire video is just them talking about how little progress they made, how many pages they deleted, how often they got distracted, how frustrated they are. And like, yeah. We all have those days. But what about the good lines you can't wait to share? The days when the words just flow? The cool stuff you learned while researching? Why don't you ever make videos about that?

Is this some other attempt to seem "relatable" by only talking about the "bad" side of writing? Because again, it's coming across as lacking confidence at best and, at worst, that you don't actually know how to write. And that is not the brand you want as an author.

Again, its always women. Why must women market their self-esteem issues in order to sell their art? Why must we be perpetually awestruck children (girlies, book girls) in over our heads?

#also why do I get the sense these women are selling a lifestyle more than they are actually promoting their own books? #I feel like someone more qualified than me could link this to modelling good christian gender roles #and cultural conformity or something #it isn't lost on me how much of this is about trying to seem humble #and how much validation is tied to protestant success and hard work ideas #is this where the indoctrination starts? #give us 'role models' as influencers #also Alex Aster of Lightlark fame is the WORST for this #her content makes me physically sick to watch #and again interesting that it is pretty widely agreed on at this point that she is an industry plant #interesting that the industry plant is leaning so heavy on the humility and infantilization of women tactics #as though appealing to protestant christians is a major concern of the industry #what's that about? is it just sales? or is it related to those evangelical groups trying get books banned? #how much influence does conservative christian america have within the trad pub industry? #maybe I am really reaching here idk #I don't have any sources #it's just speculation I am open to be proven wrong

your rabbit comic makes me think of radfems who, by allying with conservatives, enabled said conservatives to remove federal protections for abortion rights in the USA. literally helped destroy bodily autonomy for MILLIONS. like. perpetuating misogyny for all women, destroying bodily autonomy for everyone, just so that the perpetrators might spare you? even though they won't, and you know deep down they won't? your comic struck me deep in many ways, but this interpretation is the one that lives in my brain tonight

theres a definite overlap between radfems/terfs and tradwife type conservative women, its the hatred of trans people and the way they define women by their bodies and appearance and ability to give birth

#i dont think theyre doing it to be spared they just see trans people as a bigger threat to them than the ppl they ally themselves with #the overlap is sometimes them just working together but sometimes its the same person #idk how you do feminism in a way that loops back around to traditional conservative gender roles #impressive really #i think its that once tеrf ideology entered the mainstream it morphed into regular conservative transphobia #but now under the guise of 'protecting women' #kinda like how conservatives rail against feminism by claiming actually its harmful to women and WERE the ones that are pro-woman #co-opting progressive language

the riots in Dublin Ireland are ironic considering the man that stopped the attack on that woman & the children was a brown immigrant.

sex work is not “empowering”. porn is not “helpful” or good. you are a disgusting degenerate who feeds off of the pain of women.

and if you’re a woman who advocates for sex work, you’re even worse. your ability to look at the mistreatment of your own people and go along with it is horrific, and you should be ashamed of yourself because you are hurting your own community.

"Feminism failed me because now I have to work a nine to five job and I'd rather be a stay at home wife."

Or maybe we've fostered toxic work cultures that have created a "grass is greener on the other side" situation, or maybe we push our children so fast and hard into a career path without slowing it down to ensure our kids know of all their options instead of diving headfirst into a path they might not care about and thus leading to resentment of their work, or maybe we're getting lazier and lazier generations who feel like they shouldn't have to put in a standard amount of work and being a stay at home wife sounds like a dodge of responsibility, an easier route . . . .

. . . and on top of that, maybe we've romanticized the 1950s and the "traditional household" that we've decided to ignore that the culture was forced in order to get women back into domestic labor after running America while the men were at war so that men could get their jobs back, and have forgotten the commonality of domestic abuse and how ads would brazenly joke about it while victims felt like they had to keep quiet in order to maintain the image of a happy family as well as the alarming rate at which women were taking "mommy's little helpers" to help them with their lifestyles, and we've disconnected the fact that the 50s was followed by the wildness of the 60s and 70s as well as feminist movement wave which maybe indicates that the 50s was not the happy little decade in which men and women were in their "correct gender roles" and trying to replicate that era could possibly be a big mistake . . . .

Maybe the issue we have with feminism gaining women the right to work wasn't that it got us the right to work, but rather that it played into the idea that men and their traits are the standard of being human, and in order for a woman to be successful she has to display those traits instead of taking traits of women and standing on those as women's strengths and arguing for how work can be better when women and men use their feminine and masculine traits together because we're both human, and masculine traits are not better than feminine ones, and vice versa.

Maybe the problem faced by those who actually want to work stay at home lives are not hindered by feminism, but rather a failing economy caused by a government for a multitude of reasons, and not because the government created feminism to get women working to tax them too.

Maybe the problem here isn't people going against gender roles, but rather a multitude of many other factors, and it's a lot simpler to fight and blame the other gender.

I have many criticisms of feminism, particularly modern feminism. But feminism in general won women many victories over the decades, and there are a lot of things we women can do now that our female ancestors would have died to have. History might not be as sexist as we remember it, but sometimes I think we forget how unkind it was to women. Wishing feminism didn't come about or make the advances it did might be a little ignorant of the problems it saw women face and sought to correct.

Maybe it's not our "biology" to follow traditional gender roles, and we must return to that.

Maybe there's something we keep hopping over that recognizes men and women as individual humans first, with different skills, strengths, ambitions, and goals.

#I used to like listening to conservative speakers #but every time they brought up conversation about gender #it seem to revolve around men being the leading providers and women the following homemaker #and they keep pulling examples of women being unhappy with their work #and stay at home moms echoing their sentiment #I don't have an issue with stay at home moms #I have an issue when it's pushed as what women were really made for #and things like men were made to lead #no #women were made with varying strengths and talents (including strength in leadership) just as men were #which lends them to be able to pursue different things and not just homemaking #I don't think we really have anyone who has a balanced take on genders anymore because we have to have one extreme or the other #matriarchy or patriarchy #and the fighting of the two for a hierarchy creates a confused jumble of a mess #incorrectly called egalitarian #As someone who considers herself conservative in more ways than one #I'm done with the conservative take on gender roles #there's no balance #there's no consideration for other factors

‘Person who thinks the whole thing is a hoax’ is a vastly under-explored urban fantasy plot line.

Imagine if you turned on the news today and the headline was ‘fairies/vampires/werewolves exist.’ The social media civil war in the lefty skeptic science fan crowd would be incredible. People making deepfakes to prove the proof of life footage were themselves deepfakes which split the ‘deepfakes are unethical’ and ‘AI will destroy humanity crowd’ over whether this is a greater good/ends justify the means issue. YouTubers doing three hour long takedowns of each other after a notable YouTuber comes out as 1/32 fae on his mother’s side and another comes out as 1/2 fae and calls the first a cultural appropriator whose only fae-related issue is that he can’t use a steel shell laptop without getting a mild rash. Environmentalist groups schisming over whether it’s okay to be a vegetarian now we know trees have sentient souls. The fans of last week’s headline going ‘this is all a distraction from the disaster that is drone strikes!’ Long time LARPers vs neo cultural enthusiasts vs people arguing that that’s Vampface now, bigots, vs the vampires who were larping as vampires this whole time because it’s a great way to get an easy meal. Someone would go ‘isn’t this just the lizard people hollow earth antisemite QANON crowd in a new shirt?’ and be immediately attacked from every side.

It would be delicious.

#i mean every single political position would be outraged #but 90% of ‘humans reacting badly to the supernatural’ is about conservative Americans finding a new thing to be upset about #as I lefty myself I would like to see the Deranged Leftist angle explored #it’s fresh ground #and yes I know the history of the Supernatural Other as a metaphor for the Mundane Other #but please it would be so funny #this may be inspired by my reading a fic which is almost painful in its shoehorning of a set of Very Contemporary Leftist Issues into #the narrative in the role of Uncomplicated Good Guy extras
