Yes though it usually doesn't take this long! If you compare to my early tiktoks you'll see why. If i weren't using the retin-A I wouldn't need to double moisturize and unless I'm filming a video I think might go viral (like the jazz reactions) rarely wear makeup.
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. 💜🤍💚
😁 It's hard sometimes not to mock them or stoop to their level, I don't always manage it. But when I do I feel pleased that they haven't controlled me by making me react angrily. Sometimes they just want to belittle you and start a fight. It's good not to give them what they want. I try to choose my own moods and not let petty people control me.
I only heard a little bit about yogurt gate so I asked her why didn’t you tell anyone about this and she said “I did and everyone made fun of me for it” so I told her a story about why I’m considering never dealing with another man again it wasn’t really relevant but I did feel bad she tried to talk about something that made her uncomfortable and she was made fun of for it and I ramble, even in text when I’m nervous/flustered with other’s emotions and don’t know what to say.
I got virtually 'yelled at' on Ovarit for doing burlesque classes - for my own enjoyment, with other women of all ages and sizes, for a bit of a fun change after wearing mostly black hoodies and working in the SW industry for decades. Apparently it is serving the male gaze and therefore disqualifies me as a feminist. Never listen to the buzzkills I say. Burlap sacks aren't required to be a good feminist.
I can understand the surprise from others as many women do that to please men, but there's no issue with anyone who is genuinely doing things for themselves, eg make up, burlesque etc. It's still feminist because you are empowering yourself and not being defined by stereotypes or what others think of it.
If I could walk in them I'd choose to wear heels, not to please men, but for myself so I can reach high shelves 😄
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.
When I resent men for not having to put the time in to do these rituals, I just remind myself they don't have as much time and that kind of sucks for them.
Yes! Had to go on the same journey. Took me until my 30s to wear pink and enjoy 'feminine' stuff because I had allowed myself to think that girl coded things were inherently dumb and inferior. I just deprived myself of little splotches of colour and enjoyment and companionship. My husband married my hoodie wearing self long before I had that realization. If that's serving the patriarchy, so be it.
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.

Yeah, what you said! Every last word. Perfectly said.
I had to stop myself from commenting on her post "is taking a shit part of gender critical activism or do I have to give that up for sex lent too?"

I'm sorry for your loss. Hope you have a restful and restorative sleep, after your rough day.
(and thank you for the last 5 minutes. loved the music, so relaxing and pretty.)
So sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss please be extra kind to you
You look gorgeous but gorgeouser with a little makeup on.
