you know whats going to happen is that 10 years from now there are going to be leaks, re-election talking points, journalists making a quick buck by telling you "what really happened in palestine", ex soldiers telling you how they feel so bad for doing something so abhorrent that they were just following orders and every shit actor on that hollywood list taking back their solidarity lamenting in that "they just didnt know! they followed trusted news sources!", average people saying they had NO CLUE that america of all nations would take part in something so awful, that they had NO CLUE that america of all nations would fabricate propaganda and i just want you to know if Palestinians end up forgiving them i will not and neither will the world

we saw this all happen in real time and we saw your response and we have receipts

I would literally be unstoppable if I didn’t have that persistent pit in my stomach that everyone in a room is just a little bit annoyed by my presence

male gaze is not 'when person look sexy' or 'when misogynist make film'

death of the author is not 'miku wrote this'

I don't think you have to read either essay to grasp the basic concepts

death of the author means that once a work is complete, what the author believes it to mean is irrelevant to critical analysis of what's in the text. it means when analysing the meaning of a text you prioritise reader interpretation above author intention, and that an interpretation can hold valid meaning even if it's utterly unintentional on the part of the person who created the thing. it doesn't mean 'i can ignore that the person who made this is a bigot' - it may in fact often mean 'this piece of art holds a lot of bigoted meanings that the author probably wasn't intentionally trying to convey but did anyway, and it's worth addressing that on its own terms regardless of whether the author recognises it's there.' it's important to understand because most artists are not consciously and vocally aware of all the possible meanings of their art, and because art is communal and interpretive. and because what somebody thinks they mean, what you think somebody means, and what a text is saying to you are three entirely different things and it's important to be able to tell the difference.

male gaze is a cinematographic theory on how films construct subjectivity (ie who you identify with and who you look at). it argues that film language assumes that the watcher is a (cis straight white hegemonically normative) man, and treats men as relatable subjects and women as unknowable objects - men as people with interior lives and women as things to be looked at or interacted with but not related to. this includes sexual objectification and voyeurism, but it doesn't mean 'finding a lady sexy' or 'looking with a sexual lens', it means the ways in which visual languages strip women of interiority and encourage us to understand only men as relatable people. it's important to understand this because not all related gaze theories are sexual in nature and if you can't get a grip on male gaze beyond 'sexual imagery', you're really going to struggle with concepts of white or abled or cis subjectivities.

You know what? Fuck you. I am a "men's rights activist."

I'm for trans men having gender-affirming marks on identification and paperwork and still being able to access OBGYN and pregnancy care, and contraceptives.

I'm for all men's restrooms including baby changing stations, because fathers exist and need to change their babies.

I'm for black men having a voice and being seen and heard, and not assumed to be predators for being both black and men.

I'm for fathers gaining custody of their children in the face of a court system which favors the mother, stating that a child should "never be without their mother," granting custody to even the abusive mothers while taking it away from their fathers.

I'm for boys receiving both 'boy' sex education and 'girl' sex education, so they know how periods and pregnancy actually work.

I'm for boys and men giving and receiving emotional checkups, hugs, and everything soft because boys and men both deserve softness. Boys and men deserve to express their emotions healthily. To know how to express emotions healthily.

Men deserve access to care, patience, love and kindness.

ken is literally the character of all time. he' got no money, no job, no car, no house. he stands on a beach all day waiting for barbie to notice him. he's jealous of every other ken and wants to sleep over at barbie's for reasons he doesn't even know himself. he will follow his girlfriend anywhere even when she hasn't asked him to. he's so so insecure. he reads a few books about men stuff and horses and decides to reinvent patriarchy to get barbie to notice him. he wears a fur coat and two pairs of sunglasses. he's a horse girl. he has a musical number about being 'just ken'. barbie breaks up with him and he has to learn to be a person. he has a fluffy sweater that says 'you are kenough'. im obsessed with him.
