Anything you can do, I can do bleeding.

Resting while I am on my period does not make me less competent.

I've learned through activism and my educational background in Women's Studies that power is power. It can corrupt anyone in spite of themselves. Women are not immune to such corruption. Women's movements can be just as destructive as they are constructive especially when used to disguise bigotry and pure hate. This concept is not new and it was the foundation for the third wave of feminism. It is troubling to me at how shocked and appalled the reactions by the general public continue to be whenever women are exposed as central to hate speech and bigotry. Accountability should always be the standard in any movement. Women continue to oppress other women by weaponizing feminism.

"While the organization is new, its politics are anything but. The mobilization of right-wing women, particularly mothers on a mission to protect children by battling educators and school boards, has been central to conservative politics in the US for much of the past century. And while schools might be the focal point of their activism, groups like Moms for Liberty aren’t composed primarily of education activists concerned with “parental rights.” They also have to be understood as a core part of a broader and longstanding reactionary movement centered on restoring traditional hierarchies of race, gender and sexuality — a movement in which conservative mothers have always played a particularly powerful role."

[Image ID: A tweet and its reply, both by user brynismyname. The initial tweet reads, “Transphobic women often claim they were tomboys growing up, as evidence they are GNC, ignoring the fact that it’s a common trope in movies and literature for tomboys to “find their femininity” when they find the right man and get married, a narrative they are echoing.” The reply reads, “The patriarchy permitting gender rebellion in young (predominantly white cishet) women, so long as they give it up when they make the patriarchal bargain isn’t feminism, far from it.” End of description.]

working out a character design for Billy's crush, the mean clerk from the video store in TOMORROW'S JUST ANOTHER DAY

Drawing any human character next to Billy is hazardous because you can't NOT draw attention to how weird his proportions are. (I even made his head smaller than normal and he still looks like an alien)

That grrrl's got Kim Gordon's shirt from the Sonic Youth video for Bull in the Heather.

I said I wouldn't draw her because I'd rather the reader make up what she looks like in their mind, but... it's been a year, let's give her a face.

First outfit looks too Ruth Bader Ginsburg (she's joins the court in '93 but wasn't famous as "Notorious RGB" yet), maybe if it wasn't black velvet I could use the lace. Other ones are... whatever. The last one is how I dressed in high school (and college, and ten years after and now... shit.) but I'm trying really hard not to make the grrrl into a self-insert or a Mary Sue.

I need to make sure she belongs in their world. Kind of a dick, kind of a failure (in so much you can fail at 18). Representin' that Garafaloid '90s deadpan snark-girl character that was everywhere in the decade. Your Daria. Your Enid Coleslaw. Very hip, crap pop-culture obsessed but also "over it."

The "kinderwhore" (yeah, that's what the style was/is called) style is associated most with Courtney Love (p'too), but you see it in other women fronting rock bands like Kat Bjelland (Babes in Toyland) and Kim Shattuck (The Muffs).

↑ Kim Shattuck and Kat Bjelland (right): Style Icons

The signature look: a "little girl" type of dress (usually thrifted, often an actual child's dress) in velvet with a lace collar and cuffs or a girly floral worn extremely short over ripped tights and big-ass combat boots. Platforms not heels. No make-up or garish "crazy" make up -- blurred red lipstick, smudgy eyes, "bitch" written on your face or your arm with a sharpie.

This is meant to be threatening not sexy. Associate "weak" little girl things (floral dresses, Hello Kitty, pigtails, baby barrettes) with power/aggression. You're calling back to childhood where girls do whatever they want (in an ideal world) not caring what boys think. You're not dressing for men; you stand up for yourself to say "fuck you" to men who want to belittle you.

The sexualization came with the commercialization of the look. You can't have models with smeary make-up and "cunt" written on their tits in marker in the pages of Seventeen magazine. The last gasp further devolves in the 2000s into "punk fetish" shit like Suicide Girls.

Bringing it back to the character design...my character is not in a band. She is not an activist. She's a bored suburban teenager reading about what slightly older girls and women are doing in New York and Portland in zines and thinks it's cool.

She internalizes a lot of the "fuck you" attitude (or has it already and feels validated to express it). She's also a cult movie dork with an obsessive interest that isn't the alt-rock scene, but is similarly niche/all-consuming.

This is one of the earliest memes that really hit for me.

And you know what? Years further on, I think that this is a key fracture that has to be properly discussed.

Women hate. In general, women hate, women are capable of hate.

Women commit hate crimes, war crimes, women commit murder, rape, genocide, police murders, start wars, abuse children, whole nine yards. I could link even one of those phrases, but why bother, the "the sun shines out of vaginas" crowed could be actively being attacked by a woman and they'd say that either it was somehow a man's fault, or they'd victim-blame themselves.

And women hate women, specifically. There is very very little gender solidarity, and most of what you do see is actually manipulation attempts to get women to act against their own interests and help another woman who will screw her over once she's got what she wants.

Black Feminism is the most realistic branch of Feminism because it can't and doesn't pretend that l women in general don't prioritize racial and class alliances over gender, and that men of one's own race and class aren't more likely to be allies than "fellow" women of other races and classes.

Any belief in an inherent sisterhood is going to bite you on the ass, because it's disconnected from reality, be that personal social reality, national politics, or somewhere in between.

Also, a lot of people are just fucking stupid, and that includes a lot of women. Lack of malice will not save you.

It’s interesting to watch the girlification of everything as, well, not really a girl. I round up to thirty. The sticker on my car is expired and I just got annihilated by taxes. As a Gen Z woman, I take up the liminal space of girl-dinner and the Barbie premier but also Nicu bills and breast pumps. What they don’t tell you is becoming a mother doesn’t really change who you are. You mature. But it’s really not that different from becoming a father or any kind of parent. You’re you, but with additional responsibilities are relationships. It’s increasingly harder not to over-identify with reproduction and nurture, because it’s my whole day. It’s ever-more exhausting to see anyone push the dichotomy between mothers and child-free women. I wrote a poem about it, as an exercise in experiencing my female identity internally and personally, images that aren’t so glued to function and body.

I barely know you, but @artemis-potnia-theron please accept my dedication.

[Image ID: A tweet by user @SupportDetrans. It reads: “top surgery is only "tragic mutilation" if you think afab people are less valuable without breasts because you consider themselves less conventionally attractive or you see them as less capable of being mothers. both of which are extremely sexist concepts.” End of description.]
