ok so i just watched barbie and i absolutely loved it, however my parents were not impressed
my dad is misogynistic and my mom said the message wasn’t anything new and while that is true, i feel like barbie is a beautiful and creative retelling of an old message
also the reason why barbie has to convey this message is because of the issues that are still heavily prevalent in our society today
i’m so sick and tired of people still invalidating the experience of almost every woman in the world and it angers me when i see how people can watch this entire movie and still miss the main point
and for all the women who say that no one has ever said shit to them and that the scene where gloria talks about how it’s impossible to be a woman is bs, here’s a quick psa: just because something is not your reality, does not mean that it can’t be other people’s reality
anyways go watch barbie it is an amazing movie and i think we as a society have a lot that we can take away from it 🩷🩷🩷

When I call two people friends and people say shit like, “They’re not FRIENDS, they’re in LOVE!!!” Like people aren’t in love with their friends... like romantic relationships aren’t based in friendship... Absolute morons

Unless you had another faith q I'm guessing they meant mine. Sorry for spamming your asks! Hope it's ok.
I think it's the punishing herself bit that really gets me. I do see what you're both saying about religion being a comfort and finding peace in it, finding community in it in a way that she hasn't in her targ 'family'. And to be fair coming from Oldtown it makes sense that it's intrinsic to her identity, but you can identify and even practice a religion that doesn't love you back. I think that's what I wonder about, that the way she practices her religion as an adult is so much more overt it's practically performative. The wearing it on the walls, the wearing it on her dress. Is she weaponising it? Is she making it something that she can use even as it's been justification for others using her.
I guess I'm also thinking about rhaenicent and the fact that her religion has no space for the kind of relationship she'd like to have. So I'm looking at it as, she's closeted, how much can she really buy this. I think the way the religion treats her gender comes into this. As much as it gives her comfort, it also fuels her self hatred.
Does that make sense? There's a sort of emptiness I see in the way she practices or speaks of religion that is born of despair.
Ok
Interesting way to look at it

You know one of the weirdest things was being told all my life that being fat is unattractive, but then I got a chubby girlfriend and it was like.
So hot.
Like we’d be making out and she was so soft and I just.
It’s hot. And I think it’s a shame that society teaches us not to think that. Because society is wrong.

I'm starting to get so sick and tired of the weird "weak/sensitive/snowflake" mindset privileged/abled people tend to have.
Any time someone points out a flaw in the system, or brings attention to something that needs to be changed, or talk about what happened to them, these idiots come riding in on horses to blurt out "SeNSiTiVe", "WhOmp WhOmP", "L + RaTio", "SUcK iT uP", "tHiS GEnErAtiOn Is sO seNsiTive", i could go on for a while honestly.
It seems to always manifest in this kind of Perfection/Superiority complex?? For some reason?? Like, they view any display of humanity as "weakness", if that makes sense, and anyone who shows anything other than "perfection" is labeled as weak or sensitive.
They seem to think that bad things never happen to actually good people, and if something bad happens to you, you must be at fault 100%. (So basically, in their mind, victims don't exist; if you do everything right, nothing bad will ever happen to you.)
They also view any mention of something negative as "complaining/whining", regardless on whether it really is or not. (They could literally just be talking about their experience calmly, and someone just has to say "qUiT wHnIniNg". At this point, it's guaranteed you'll see a comment like that most if not all of the time.) Pretty sure this is a silencing tactic.
I 100% understand real criticism; but that isn't real. It isn't constructive, and it isn't helpful, and it isn't meant with any good intentions.
At first, it was just annoying. Now it's kinda pissing me off.

Q: Do you think it's acceptable for men to have multiple sexual partners, but not for women?
Male Answer: Absolutely! Men are often praised and admired for their sexual conquests. It's seen as a sign of masculinity and prowess. Society tends to view men who have multiple partners as "players" or "studs." There's an unfair double standard that allows men to explore their sexuality without judgment.
Female Answer: Unfortunately, society tends to judge women more harshly when it comes to their sexual behavior. Women are often labeled as promiscuous or derogatory terms for having multiple partners. It's unfair and reinforces harmful stereotypes. Women should have the same freedom as men to explore their sexuality without fear of judgment.
Q: What are your thoughts on women being assertive in the workplace compared to men?
Male Answer: I think it's great when women are assertive in the workplace! It shows confidence and leadership skills. However, sometimes assertive women are labeled as "bossy" or "aggressive," while assertive men are seen as decisive and assertive. It's a frustrating double standard that needs to be addressed.
Female Answer: It's unfortunate that women are often discouraged from being assertive in the workplace. Women are expected to be nurturing and accommodating, while men are praised for being assertive and confident. This double standard undermines women's ability to succeed and be taken seriously. Women should be encouraged to be assertive and confident in their professional lives.
Q: How do you feel about the expectation for women to prioritize their appearance compared to men?
Male Answer: It's unfair that women are expected to prioritize their appearance more than men. Society places a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way, whether it's societal beauty standards or professional expectations. Men, on the other hand, are often judged more on their accomplishments and skills rather than their appearance. This double standard perpetuates unrealistic beauty standards and puts unnecessary pressure on women.
Female Answer: The expectation for women to prioritize their appearance is frustrating and exhausting. Society values women based on their physical attractiveness, while men are judged more on their abilities and achievements. This double standard places an unfair burden on women to meet unrealistic beauty standards, which can have negative impacts on their self-esteem and overall well-being.
Q: How do you perceive the different reactions to men and women expressing emotions?
Male Answer: It's disappointing that men are often discouraged from expressing their emotions. Society expects men to be tough and stoic, which can be harmful to their mental health. On the other hand, women are allowed to be more emotional without facing the same judgment. This double standard prevents men from fully expressing themselves and seeking support when needed.
Female Answer: There's a societal expectation for women to be more emotional and expressive, while men are expected to be stoic and unemotional. This double standard can be damaging to both genders. Men should feel comfortable expressing their emotions without fear of being judged, just as women should be respected for their emotional expression. It's important to create a safe space for everyone to share their feelings openly.
One Q and A, two completely different answers and POVs. Women are expected to be better than they are, and Men are barely expected to do anything that wouldn't be classified as "manly". The unrealistic expectations aren't set by society itself. It's set by us. As a whole, we need to decide whether we want to continue that process, or if we're going to do something to change the way society is today. It's 2023. Why the hell can't the world just grow up already!?

Society always puts down real people by calling them crazy, rude, problematic, etc. etc. and rewards fake people with fitting in.

Funny how when I was in primary school I thought autism was kids who didn't like wearing school uniform and how today I suddenly found out the common convention going to a jobs fair is to wear your Smart Formal outfit and I had a shutdown for 20 mins. I don't wanna wear The Shirt. It makes me wanna barf

You know what, I didn't have to work my ass off during all of 2020 while everyone else got weeks of enforced downtime. I have covid, I'm taking some days to my damn self. I forgot about all the people playing up being bored out of their minds during the lockdown. Fuck all y'all. I'm getting 4 days off, fuck off. Fuck work.

"What I’d like to say back to my high school peers, whom I refused to converse with at football games and parties, is that I wasn’t shy; I just didn’t like talking to them."
"Just because they’d rather be alone, doesn’t mean they are problematic; sometimes it just means they don’t like you."
I love this article!!! I didn't write it or the above quotes; I just relate and wanted to share it.
