On the topic of hormones, the people who say that women, notably, are inherently weaker or less competent/competitive than men (especially physically) because of their estrogen are the same types of people to have said that women shouldn't run or ride trains because their uteruses would fly out of their bodies.

#feminism #in mythologizing hormones misogyny is not reinvented but reinforced #misogyny especially has been defended 'based on natural and inherent biology' since the dawn of time #and especially with a trans lense this is exasperated #you have people who simultaneously say that hormones are useless to pursue... #...but hormones are also SO powerful and potent that we shouldn't have the ability to consent to using them #i had a huge long talk about this with my dad and i think he's much more a feminist than he wants to admit #i love talking about hormones and bodies but holy shit there's no inherent holiness/mythos about it #my testosterone is wayyy higher than serana williams but she would kick my ASS in tennis all day every day #because (get this) hormones aren't this mythologized superpower. they're hormones. and they're found in all of us in different levels

I'm so bored of feminist retellings that are, "it's basically the same but now she kicks butt cuz she's a warrior!"

yes, women kicking butt is hot. but also "kicking butt" doesn't actually make a thing feminist.

#good job your feminist retelling could come straight out of the 90s #i always feel terribly alienated by these retelling #also the cliche of kickass woman being an archer #people have theorised it goes back to katniss/hunger games or merida/brave but i blame legolas and the lotr movies #the girls loving legolas phenomenon was massive - i know it was credited with a revival of interest in people learning archery #and i don't doubt it impacted on other media in a similar way - the girlies love leggy so the girlies will love a heroine who uses a bow #and i think it's cool and hot actually! but why is the shorthand for kickass woman always 'and she's the archer!' #or maybe i should blame artemis hmm #text posts #this post brought to you by reading the description of the new feminist retelling of the psyche and eros myth #good job! you've combined the soulless sanitised retelling of greek mythology #with the soulless dated trope of 'womens are only worthwhile as characters if they can kick butt while falling in lurveeeee with a man'

on god if its my happy marriage please keep watching if only to get to the fucking shonen anime super power reveal. the way my jaw DROPPED. I did not enjoy the anime but it did have my full attention by that point.

I'm sorry the what???? She has the powers of a shonen anime or does he have the powers of a shonen anime?? please I don't think I can continue watching this show don't tempt me with stupid anime nonsense

#ask #anon #dammit do i continue watching #but shes so bland #its so hard #especially since i just finished both lessons in chemistry and the apothecary diaries #im on a feminist high rn #a female mc being interesting weird kick #honestly this is my own fault #what a horrible time to start this anime #i was looking for a wee bit of romance #but not this type of “we want every member of our audience to be able to project onto our mc so she's basically a nothing character” type #anyone know what im looking for

maybe it's just how I deal with cognitive dissonance but I do think "media thing has a lot that can be enjoyed and picked apart and analyzed and you can really see what the artists involved put into that and you can acknowledge what the artists put into it and that some of the messages are things that need to be said and heard and encouraged"

and "corporations will always find a way to use those artists to sanitize the artists message and it's impossible to have a successful Content and you can't project a good piece of content as meaning that the big corporation is Good, because the big corporation will use art to get your money and doesn't believe in anything"

Are ideas that can be held at the same time and both deserve discussion to figure out this shitty part of our culture.

I don't think "ugh X isn't good and people who like it are annoying and falling for the con" is a productive argument but I also don't think "um people can enjoy things and any criticism means you don't think they should enjoy things and everything about this IS good actually" is productive. I'm not smart enough to know how to fix how our capitalist culture has turned art and culture into a commodity, but I don't think the individual people getting shaped by culture is where the ire needs to go, and I also think it's important to on some level be aware that corporations will always find a way to make money off of artists and sell it to you.

#yes this was kick started by barbie #mostly because i finally found a criticism of the corporate feminism of it that didnt act like the individual artists making the movie #were insincere in their work #but still did a great job showing how Mattel loved the feminist veneer for thr money it makes #'i saw a lot of cool jumping points for discussions on gender in society in the barbie movie' #and 'the most accessible message of the movie was pretty in offensive and shallow' #are both true i think #and i say that as someone who put the movie in my top 5 faves

I think terfs are a really good example of the whole "far right people can believe seemingly contradictory things without a shred of self-awareness" given that they simultaneously believe women are inherently better than men AND that it's absolutely 100% impossible for a woman to beat a man in any competition at all bcs apparently we just naturally suck at everything.

#I've met actual proud misogynists who hate women less than terfs do #fun reminder that the reason “women's” sports even exist at all #is bcs men hated that they kept LOSING to women #and so they shoved us off in a corner so they didn't have to deal with their poor delicate egos being bruised #by a teenage girl kicking their asses at baseball or a woman destroying them at swimming #gender segregated sports are a product of systemic sexism and misogyny #and like less than 10 years ago the actual feminist take was that women should be allowed to play against men #bcs WE KNEW WE'D BEAT THEM and we knew the only reason they wouldn't let us is bcs they're fucking scared #this is what we mean when we say terfs are NOT feminists #they pretend to be but they aren't

sick of the radblr discourse like why is it half of my dash omg

#in case ur wondering i do think there’s something to be said about identifying as a radfem and not being one in practice #but i also know that idk what it’s like to be an osa woman and i’m also not a fan of kicking someone while they’re down and all women #deserve access to support and resources regardless #i’m not a perfect person either but i also have said that i’m not a radfem i just stick around bc i’m a gender crit feminist #idk. shrugs. #tldr none of this matters to me

Not to post Grease on main but when the Rise of the Pink Ladies series had Buddy, a privileged guy with good intentions, repeatedly have the opportunity to give up his own advantages and dismantle the system he claims to oppose, only to chicken out every single time because at the end of the day he prioritizes his own comfort and ease over justice, slowly sending him down a path of becoming more and more of a dipshit..

idk I just can't think of another time I've seen those kinds of characters called out for being assholes. Like every sexist character is cold, unfeeling, and clearly the villain. But here's a guy who believes he's progressive, and manages to convince others as well as himself that he respects women, and when he discovers his own privilege knows that it's wrong, but when it really matters still keeps his mouth shut. Feels like vindication, seeing this type of antagonist I encounter so much in real life portrayed as the creepy coward he is. So glad the series put their foot down and said no matter your virtue signaling, if you won't give up your unfair advantages for the sake of the minority then you don't actually want justice. get fucked lol

#i've found some recent 'feminist' shows lacking (both mainstream and obscure) also kinda t*rf-y #but this show doesn't fuck with that half assed bs. rotpl kicks ass I love musicals #only gripe is how since the entire cast is conventionally attractive they denote who's meant to be unattractive by giving them glasses #grease #grease: rise of the pink ladies #rise of the pink ladies #rotpl #g:rotpl

I think the most accurate gender descriptors for the doctor and the master is agender and genderfluid respectfully

I think the doctor doesn't really care about gender, just doesn't think about it much at all. Even when theyre a man they dont necessarily see themselves as a man, even if they know others do. They were excited about being a woman purely because it was something new, although I think they became somewhat less excited when they realise the way people's perception of them changes because of it lol

The master on the other hand loves gender. It's another disguise, another performance and they throw everything into it. I think they really enjoyed being Missy and playing into womanhood, but I think part of what she loved about being a woman was making people not perceive her differently. She was just as terrifying and evil as any man. Where the doctor sort of "plays along" to keep the peace, missy would just straight up murder anyone who thought less of her

#doctor who #gender #theyre both so gender either way #fun fact did u know that after regenerating the master likes to go to some 18th century exclusive club to rest after regenerating #but after she regenerated into a woman they kicked her out so she responded by murdering them all. shes such a feminist 🤭 #edit: the club i think started in the 18th century?? but the kicking out part happens in the 21st

I did not think that I would spend this weekend binge watching Warrior Nun with my 80 year old catholic Grandmother, yet here we are.

#she is so into it #she loves the ass kicking nuns as much as I do #and look my Grams is catholic and goes to church and stuff #but she's very liberal #she supoorts gay rights and the right to abortions and she's a feminist who married a Jewish man #Warrior Nun #also she loves Ava and Beatrice and she likes them together #Avatrice
