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 🩷🩷🩷

i resolve to rage like a girl. to raise my voice like a girl. to scream at the top of my lungs like a girl. to make them hear me like a girl. i won’t be ignored like a girl. i won’t be underestimated like a girl. i won’t be a second thought like a girl.
i resolve to fight like a girl. you can check underneath these girl nails for proof that i fought like a girl. that i drew blood like a girl. that i left a mark like a girl.
i resolve to write like a girl. to let the words flow like a girl — like this girl blood that flows through my girl veins. this girl blood will be the paint and the ink i use to tell this girl story. and i will make you hear me like a girl.
but what is a girl? what makes a girl? let it be known that i am a girl in the way that a hurricane is a girl. a ship is a girl. a galaxy is a girl. nature is a girl. a girl is not physical; a girl is so much more.

Feminist Recommendation: Moxie
Tumblr media
Rockport High has a sexism problem, and Vivian Carter is sick of it. When she finds her mother's old 'wasted youth' box filled with zines, photographs and concert tickets from the 90s Riot Grrrl Movement, Vivian finds herself inspired, and soon she creates her own zine: Moxie. Soon enough, alongside friends, old and new - who each have their own reasons for stepping up to the fight - Vivian finds herself anonymously leading a feminist revolution.

Women have been loved, but not respected. And without respect the love is nothing but lust.

I find the idea of a girls girl so comforting. A girl who respects whatever another girl chooses to do with her life no matter if they personally agree with it or not. Girls are constantly shamed for doing things we enjoy whether it be listening to a certain artist or dressing a certain way and it makes the issue even more severe when us girls put each other down for favour of a male audience. No more slut shaming , feminine shaming or body shaming other girls as let’s be honest ‘pick me girls’ are just self projecting <3

ow to journal when you have childhood trauma and you're on the edge of a breakdown: Make yourself feel safe. Put on some chill music, change into comfortable clothes, make some tea, ect. The more comfortable you are, the easier this will be. Write down the symptoms you are feeling. Divide them into emotional feelings (i feel afraid, i feel like there's too much to do) and physical feelings (my chest feels tight, my lower back hurts). Write down 3-4 big stressors that are making you feel this way right now. It might be something like: I'm afraid I might lose my job, I feel bad because my friend is mad at me, I'm scared to go to my doctor's appointment. Identify when this fear or stressor really started. For example, maybe you're afraid to go to your doctor's appointment because you had a bad experience at the doctor's when you were 8. Write an approximate age next to your stressors. Write a short letter to yourself from each age that you wrote down. Make sure your inner child feels safe and heard. Tell them that this time is different, and thank them for being so brave. This may not work for everyone, but it's a system I came up with that has been very beneficial for me. Remember to take your time and be gentle with yourself. I wish you the best on your healing journey 🤍🧿

oh darling, you are so powerful
and you don’t even realize it.
on the edges of your fingertips,
ripples a power within you
that is aching to be released.
you are creation -
creating all that lives and breathes in this world.
you are wild -
living on your own accord.
you are discomfort -
bringing men down to their knees.
you are the unknown -
yet to be discovered by those you let enter.
you are violence -
taking those that wish you pain, down into the dark depths of hell.
you are beauty -
a sight to behold.
you are chaos yet beautiful all the same.

“I am VENUS”
(spoiler alert)
What better way to close out my final blog for Afrofuturism, than with the fearless, extraordinary, ground-breaking, BAD ASS women of “Black Panther?” The 2018 movie "Black Panther" is a conventional Marvel action film with an uncommon cast. A significant portion of the action is carried out by the female primary characters, who are not only there to further the objectives of the male protagonist.  Each of them has a distinct plan and purpose. The film alters these modes of representational performance via the expressive qualities of Afrofuturism. Internalizing the multifaceted nature of Blackness via using the lens of Afrofuturism as a means of comprehending black experience gives a legacy of pride, as well as a sense of belonging that facilitates one's connection to a Pan-African culture.  The film has the capacity to provide a hopeful vision of Africa because it uses futuristic themes as its foundation. Beyond the cliches of civil society, an entirely novel image of Africa is emerging. Modern, technically passionate, skilled, powerful, and most importantly liberated women are shown in the new image.
Black Panther establishes early on that it is not your typical superhero film, whereby the women are docile and the male character must come to their rescue. On the contrary, the women of Wakanda are not only able to manage their own positions but are the true backbone of the nation because to their leadership and remarkable gifts. Not only does Black Panther feature Okoye, the bold and fierce general of the Dora Milaje, but also Nakia, a super spy and valiant fighter. Whenever T'Challa has doubts concerning his own capacity for leadership, his mother, Queen Ramonda, reassures him. Shuri, T'Challa's younger sister, is perhaps the most brilliant person in Wakanda and the genius behind the majority of the country's modern technological advancements, including his spectacular suit and the weaponry he equips.  T'Challa is defended by his all-female private armed force, the Dora Milaje.  Nevertheless, it is the women of Wakanda that support T'Challa when his strength is at his most vulnerable, allowing him to reclaim his throne. Rather of being stereotypes of marginalized Black women, the characters of Queen Ramonda, Shuri, Nakia, and Okoye are fully formed, pivotal players who elevate the film to great heights.
Black Panther transcends the medium of film. This Afrofuturist element transports us to a universe where the melanin of fierce women is the deep, beautiful shade seldom seen in mainstream Hollywood productions. It is revolutionary that intelligent, powerful, and stunning Black women of color are finally being represented in mainstream in a positive light. Black women in film need not play the damsel-in-distress archetype; this film demonstrated that strong, independent women may find love and be happy. As a daughter, and as a mother of two beautiful black daughters it overjoys me and transcends my soul that they have a clear vision of who and what they can be, and who and what they are, and the connection they will always have to their ancestors, like my mother and grandmother (RIP).

onlyfans is not empowering, i think people need to start to recognise that, men don’t want a woman who expose herself out there for money, and it’s not only about what men want, it’s also about what women want, we want respect, we want to be taken seriously, how can you do that if you have an onlyfans?
