I truly do apply the idea of "prioritizing women" in my daily life. I will stop to help women with things but not men. I do data entry for work and if I receive something to enter from a woman that has a typo or punctuation error I fix it for her, but if it's a man's work I just copy it exactly as is and send it through. I extend the benefit of the doubt to women but never to men. Even on the road if I can see a woman driver who needs to merge I let her in, but if I know it's a man, he's gotta wait till I pass. I treat women how men treat each other and give the same amount of grace to men as they spare for women (nearly none). It's the little things.

is it too early for thirst posts-*GUNSHOTS*

Was just diagnosed with “need to bite you” disorder. Yeah sorry it’s terminal. The only cure is biting you. C’mere.

Hey! This is ART:

This is not art

This is makeup and facetune.

Disclaimer: I am in no way trying to put down the women in the second photo set. They look great, they’re doing as they please, but I wanted to use their public photos in order to make a point.

Often times I hear the argument, “but makeup is an art form! How can women be harmed by the makeup industry if it’s a CHOICE and an art form?”

There is a gigantic difference between the two photo sets. The first are women who have applied makeup, face paint and other materials in order to create something on their faces that does not enhance their appearance or follow beauty standards. They are literally creating a painting/piece of art on their faces. The second photo set shows women who are using makeup in order to enhance their looks and quite honestly change the appearance of their natural facial features.

The makeup looks that are shown are what the beauty industry distributes their products for. These looks are what is deemed “beautiful” and “acceptable” in our society. It is what 10 year old girls are trying to achieve in order to feel pretty and gain attention and acceptance.

It isn’t an art form to put on eyeliner, eyebrows, matte lipstick, contour your entire face to the point in which you are unrecognizable from your bare face. It may be aesthetically pleasing, but it isn’t art. Women and girls are pushed to wear foundation, eye makeup, and whatever else every day. No one is pushed to look like a Rorschach test (see third photo in first photo set, lol). No one is pressured to wear makeup in the form in which we see at the top, but girls are pressured beyond belief to make their noses look smaller. Their eyes look bigger. Their eyebrows more shaped. Their eyelashes longer. Their cheeks higher. Their neck slimmer. Their eyes lighter. Their lips bigger… more seductive. And it goes on.

Know the difference between conventional makeup and artistic makeup. They are not the same, they are not to be conflated. We are not smashing the patriarchy with our winged eyeliner. We are not going against what men want by over lining our lips. Choice or not, we aren’t doing it for anything other than because we feel we have to.

Contour isn’t art.

I'm crying, you're crying, everyone is crying(You're My Best Friend by Queen plays softly in the background)

you’re an angel, i’m a dog

or you’re a dog and i’m your man

I can't read that legally blonde post one more goddamn time but I can read this book and encourage others to also read a fucking book

and if there was a country whom wasn't being bombarded with far right ideas to go... then what? nothing will change the fact next generation is in shambles.You can't ignore the absence of your anthem from your lips or don't feel guilty for not staying and trying, scrambling for a better way.We will always be cursed with the duty of our ancestry and what it entails

the americans going "i need to leave to europe" and especially the smug europeans saying "america needs to fix its racist, climate change denier voters" are operating on an advanced model of cognitive dissonance. sir starmer's landslide labour country was gripped by race riots a few months ago and handed out five years to climate protesters. nearly every far right party in europe is first or second with youth voters for both genders: RN secured about a third of both 18-24 and 25-34 age groups; young men across the continent said they would vote trump by massive margins. tusk barely beat back orban 2.0 in poland, and his immediate reaction was to double down on fortress europe—something all other parties are doing. EU politicians are so averse to public investment that this fear blew up the german government yesterday.

there is nowhere to run, there is no country "safe" from the global far right wave

TOTALLY BROS, DUDE

Inspired by @helpimstuckposting​​ blog + tags  Bonus: 

that's why adoption is always the answer. Don't want life long physical pain for having a child? Adoption. Do you believe we fucked up the Earth too much and the resources are running low? Adoption. Don't want to deal with people not treating you like an actual human being for 9 months? ADOPTION.

the thing is like. i get that it's scary and makes people who do desire to get pregnant uncomfortable when we talk about the brutality and violence of pregnancy and the damage that pregnancy can do to your body

but you deserve to give informed consent to that process.

the lies around pregnancy - that it's inherently safe, that it doesn't do you permanent damage, that it's only extremely rare for people to die of pregnancy complications, etc like

all of these are lies constructed so that more people will get pregnant w/o knowing all that

there needs to be more talk about the impact of miscarriages and how common they are, how different abortion processes are and how accessible they are

but also like. talking about how pregnancy fucks your body up should not be taboo

this is a process that permanently changes most people's bodies, and that's even if the pregnancy doesn't do them like. severe illness or injury

and i just think everybody should have a right to KNOW that

bc to live in a society that intentionally obscures and hides facts about a completely optional and dangerous process does so for a reason, and that reason is based in a very sinister ideology that does not value bodily autonomy or informed consent
