New Tin Foil Hat Theory: The Rise And Propagation Of Minimalist Home Decor Is Meant To Manage Expectations

“the most confident women i know are women with short natural nails”

reminds me of that one video that went viral recently where the woman was saying something along the lines of “i only take advice from women who have a full bush” and it’s crazy that most of the comments tend to agree but only a few are pinpointing why that might be. like hmm… i wonder what it is about a woman who doesn’t adhere to unnecessary beauty standards and simply lives in her life in natural body without wasting the mental/physical/emotional energy it takes to endlessly spend money on hair removal nails makeup etc and WHY it makes her more confident in her body as a dignified human being

i wonder what it is!

My mum; I don’t think she’s ever identified herself as a radical feminist, but intentionally or not she lives so many of the core tenets. She’s the one that taught me about financial independence and the importance of an education and critical thinking. She’s also a firm believer in comfy shoes and in the almost 30 years I’ve been her daughter I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen her wear makeup.

It sounds silly but seeing her without makeup makes it easier for me to let go of wearing it now. I have my dad’s colouring, but my face is so much like my mother, I’ve seen pictures of her at my age and if you changed my hair a little we could be twins. I hope it stays that way. I hope I develop laugh lines the way she did.

I want to take a break from discourse for a moment. Reblog or reply with a way a woman in your life is awesome.

I’ll go first. My mom is the most determined person I know. I’ve never seen her give up on anything and she always keeps a cool head when solving problems. She knows when to take a break and has impeccable work/life balance, but when she is working on something she is completely focused and always the most useful person in the room.

For me it’s about having the freedom to touch my own skin.

I stopped regularly using makeup earlier this year, it wasn’t really a conscious decision, just the way things turned out. Anyway after I’d been makeup-free for a couple of months I ended up wearing some makeup for an event, and it wasn’t even a lot of makeup compared to what I’d worn previously. But almost immediately I became so conscious of my face, I didn’t want to rub my eye for fear of smearing my eye makeup, or to eat too quickly for fear of ruining my lipstick.

I only wore the makeup for a few hours, and it was honestly so mentally draining having to constantly monitor myself.

So anyway, I’m hoping to keep up my makeup free journey into 2025! Wish me luck!

Reblog this and add a reason you dont wear make up

I’ll start 😊

There are no ingredients listed nor do make up companies answer to any type of health standards

Whats your unpopular radfem opinion?

Mine is that I do not get mad when radfems still wear makeup, especially if they’re cutting back on it heavily.

“Of all the female sins, hunger is the least forgivable; hunger for anything, for food, sex, power, education, even love. If we have desires, we are expected to conceal them, to control them, to keep ourselves in check. We are supposed to be objects of desire, not desiring beings. We do not need food: in many ways, we are food, trainable meat, lambs queueing up to buy mint sauce. We consume only what we are told to, from lipstick to life insurance, and only what will make us more consumable ourselves, the better to be chewed up and swallowed by a machine that wants our work, our money, our sexuality broken down into bite-sized chunks.”
