something about white women swarming to mock Nara Smith doesn't sit right with me. "Tradwife" content is nothing new but the second a black woman gets a lot of attention for it, suddenly everyone has an opinion.
This isn't to say that "Tradwife" content isn't extremely problematic and that the cases of DV within Mormonism aren't a very pervasive problem but, again, it has been a consistent issue for years on many social media apps - even during 2020 TikTok, by predominantly white women.
But the second a black woman has started doing it, all the videos I see are attempts of satirical mockery of Nara Smith from white women and pushed onto a lot of tags such as "#feminism".
When has mocking a woc ever been feminist?

I've never really fully understood the meaning of a femcel. So many people have given it different meanings. Like I've heard it being "unattractive" women bringing down other women or being misandrists bc they've been rejected before. I've heard it being that they're like appeasing to incels and trying to be pick mes. The whole concept is confusing but I just know that the Pinterest version of it that's being heavily marketed towards adolescent girls is like based on white beauty standards and self victimization that's heavily associated with white womanhood. I feel like this is going to be an internet subculture that people are going to look back at a year from now, and wonder wtf were these girls really doing when this was created?
I do think the term has a different meaning to everyone that uses it. I feel like it centres around how undesirable someone is (to men), whether intentionally or not. but either way any meaningful discussion that could be made about female beauty standards, dating practices, how desire intersects with race, gender, sexuality, disability etc has just been lost to (skinny) white women using it as another aesthetic practice. I think it's telling that the only people ive seen use the term are t/rfs and and women that fit western beauty standards that want to, as you said, feel victimised in some way. dating isn't easy for anybody but once again white women have managed to make themselves the centre of the discussion, already crowded by their male counterparts who've spent the better half of a decade radicalising men to 'the black pill'. Incels are infinitely worse than any of these women ever could be which baffles me even more as to why they'd want to co-opt this term for themselves (already stolen from an East asian woman talking about how undesired she feels due to her race)

I drew a cute fairy with a little mushroom bonnet! I have to wear bonnets for my curls, and I always thought they looked like mushrooms which I think is really cute. Im selling them in my shop if anyone likes cottagecore fairies! 🥹
