Make up tutorials are not part of gender critical or feminist activism? So what? No one said they were. Our lives aren't just our activism. They contain a myriad of experiences and activities.
Jeez, some people need to lighten up. Without some fun in our lives we'd end up crotchety, miserable and friendless. The horrors of the trans movement are deeply upsetting, so we NEED some time away from thinking about it so we can re-enter the fray refreshed.
Maybe it's too late for whoever wrote that. They seem to have forgotten there's an off switch if they need to live in interminable misery.
I'm happy to hear you speak on any topic whatsoever. Regardless of the topic, you always give me food for thought. Now I'm thinking I should step up my self care. You talk a lot of sense.
Please don't let the moaning Minnie's affect you. 💜🤍💚
confession time: I didn't watch your makeup tutorial, because I'm not really that interested in makeup. equally, I'm not even slightly tempted to find out who this person is, because I'm already bored of her. hope you're sleeping the sleep of the innocent.
Starting to wear makeup for me was about accepting being a woman, my "femininity". Before that I didn't want to do things that was associated with womanness in the patriarchy because I didn't want to be associated with it, it was embarrassing. Fuck that. Being a woman is cool, now I walk around displaying what the patriarchy associates the most with feminineness, and I do it with complete assurance. There's nothing anti-feminist about wanting to be pretty. If that's what my culture has taught me a woman is, then rejecting it and going with the short hair plan clothes look to me says "I'd rather not be a woman". We can't destroy the patriarchy by trying to pretend it doesn't exist. Your feminine outside says "THIS IS A WOMAN", and it's your atittude and your strength and your determination that will show an example of what that really means. And... we're also sexual animals, and lesbian radical feminists need to try to understand that :) lol
I don't disagree with the point that it's labor, time and money doing things that men don't have to do. But really the point of femininism should NOT be going after other women's appearance choices, which as you say can never be divorced from the expectations of patriarchy ie. the culture we live in.
Any movement that has a litmus test is shallow and controlling. As a 58 year old woman, my feminism has gone through many stages and manifestations. Working, birthing, sex, relationships, makeup, hair dye…the list is endless and personal. The difference from past generations is that we are making our own choices…and sometimes you can make different kinds of change by being IN the system. I personally love makeup and jewelry-it’s fun! Why can’t we all experiment and not be judged?! No one with half a brain would say you’re not a strong feminist!💖
"we can come undone together.. and get ready for bed" Oh, i wish! ha! ha! girl crushes are the best.
I always thought you were mocking him.
