'Makeup is an art form', yes. If you use it to create funky, vibrant eyeshadows, tradgoth makeup or add spirals and designs to your face, this is a form of 'self expression', as people like to refer to it. It's abnormal and indicates you're doing it for yourself rather than to adhere to the standards of beauty.
However, doing makeup which looks ‘natural’, trying to hide the fact you’re wearing it, using it to cover blemishes, hyperpigmentation etc that is not self expression if anything it’s self concealment. Hiding your natural self to appear more attractive to society is not an art form it’s a form of subordination which reinforces the idea that women must perform and that there’s something inherently flawed about our bodies. But libfems aren’t ready for that conversation.
It’s uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. They’re drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. We’re no longer part of WHO and there won’t be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. We’re being censored and the news can’t be trusted. Thousands of Americans didn’t know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaid’s Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to what’s going on right now.
According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.
I’m exhausted but I will never stop being angry.
You guys… writing smut is such an embarrassing experience.
The difference between reading and having to type “her dripping core pulsed at the feel of his nervous touch” is astounding. God… like???? ahhhh what do you mean I have to write descriptive lewd words?? I feel so silly.
Maybe this is just embarrassing because my beta reader are my friends. No matter how much they praise me, it’s still so embarrassing that they know I wrote that. They know I’m weird, yet they still embrace me. Thanks you guys (if ur seeing this) ur real ones.
found this on pinterest, thought you all might like it :3
Male: Women don't like playing games, women are soooo boring. Woman: I do play games. Male: "These games don't count!" or "Women can't play games, go back to the kitchen."
Male: You're a housewife so you're inferior. Woman: I have a career and work outside. Male: Oh so you're a slave of the government? i feel bad for you.
Male: Women's lives revolves around men, they only care about men. Woman: I'm working on myself and have no interest in romantic relationships. Male: You're so selfish! you will die sad and alone!!
Male: How am i supposed to know women suffer if they never say anything? Woman: Being a woman is difficult, i'm tired of misogyny. Male: Stop being dramatic feminist! Being a woman is paradise and i'm a better woman than you!!
When you realize males are below you, you start to care less and less about these phrases. Still, they can impact your mental health. Sometimes women hear these so often, they start believing and direct it to other women.
For men you will NEVER be enough, and you shouldn't try to be.
AND/OR they would do some sort of harm to you. emotionally, physically, mentally, etc
"I'm pretty with makeup"
"I'm pretty without makeup"
Radical feminism: "It doesn't matter if you're pretty at all. You don't exist to be pretty."
"Female body hair is okay"
"Female body hair is not okay"
Radical Feminism: "Female body hair simply exists and is completely neutral. Talking about whether its 'okay' doesn't even make sense."
"Presenting THIS way makes you a man"
"Presenting THIS way makes you a woman"
Radical feminism: "Nothing about the way you present makes you a man or woman. Gender isn't real."
I love that radical feminism just removes you from so many binaries of thought. It makes them completely nonsensical. Why would I analyze whether I'm pretty when it doesn't matter either way? Why is the acceptability of my body hair even a subject of discussion? It merely exists, just like the bark on a tree. Does society sit around and debate whether a tree ought to be able to keep its bark?
I've come to realize that I've been handed a ton of "either/or" choices about who I am all my life and told to make a decision on each one. And they were all illusions! I just exist. I never had to justify the way I am or even formulate an opinion on it.
as a bengali girl one of the biggest reasons i used to think i was "nonbinary" was bc i was told it was normal to have an incongruence w/ womanhood bc of my race... who fed me this lie
why is womanhood based on a woman's proximity to whiteness?? why are women of color deemed less female for the not fitting standards made against us? and why is the solution to that to push us into some third gender instead of just abolishing gender itself?????
has anyone else experienced something similar??
