Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.
The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.
I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.
How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.
I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.
I will not call a male "she"; thirty-two years of suffering in this androcentric society, and of surviving, have earned me the title "Woman"; one walk down the street by a male transvestite, five minutes of his being hassled (which he may enjoy), and then he dares, he dares to think he understands our pain? No, in our mother's names and in our own, we must not call him sister.

pet peeve: when a male, a group of men or a male-dominated government/regime commit an act of incomprehensible violence and people lament the nature of “humans” or “people”.
“Who are you to tell a trans person what is and isn’t transphobic?’ Idk who are you to tell women what is and isn’t misogyny?
Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.
I'm really really really really really tired of watching TRAs (especially the male ones, trans identifying or otherwise) misuse terms like "terf" and "radfem" to anything they don't like. No, Trump is not a "terf", Elon is not a "terf", read a fucking book istg
you could say something as simple as "women shouldn't be slaves" and there would definitely be man in your comments telling you that you deserve to be raped
bitch is a slur cunt is a slur and I think men should face the same level of scrutiny for saying those words as any other slur
Meanwhile a society without women: no men
every woman thinks she's evil and irredeemable for making a few avoidable mistakes while every man goes about his day thinking he's normal after having emotionally tortured at least 5 different women
feminists: this terrible act is so damaging to ones self that it has the highest rate of ptsd of any event, women kill themselves in wartime to avoid rape, every womans worst fear is rape,
rape apologists: its consensual why are you mad. its totally neutral and fine to fantasize about acting out the most heinous act on a woman if its actually “pretend”.
One thing that rarely comes up in online radfem spaces, and one which shows the real generational disconnect of women, is health information about menopause and how understudied it is.
Did you know:
-Menopause can cause drastic suicidality and increases in mental health crises?
-Menopause can cause your skin to thin and tear?
-When menopause happens and what to do if it comes early to protect your bone health? (HRT, which can be prohibitively expensive and is controversial)
-Menopause can change the pH of your vulva and vagina and require medical washes?
-Brain fog is often a symptom, and so are memory lapses?
-Women in menopause are gaslit about the severity of their symptoms?
-Perimenopause often lasts several years?
-Hot flashes can be debilitating and painful?
-Your hair often thins?
-Post-menopausal bleeding is a typical sign of cancer that women are not educated on and is often missed?
-Migraines and UTIs can increase in severity and frequency?
-You may experience a burning mouth?
-Painful cystic acne often appears?
-Decreased estrogen means less lubricated joints and often is the beginning of arthritis?
-Your body may not produce enough keratin for your nails to not crack and break painfully?
-Some women can experience panic attacks?
-It can cause tinnitus?
-Lupron can chemically induce menopause?
-Almost all studies on aging do not account for menopause?
I know part of this is about the general age on this website, but I also think it says something about our culture that women’s bodies go through two extremely significant changes and our society is only really interested in the one that it perceives as preparing our bodies for sex and pregnancy.
I’m so sick of how hating rich women is disguised as just hating capitalism.
Yes Katy Perry went to space for no reason. Hey why is Jeff Bezos selling rich people trips to space on his penis rocket? Doesn’t matter, Katy Perry was doing pretend feminism. Yes Taylor Swift having a private jet is ridiculous. Did anyone else complain about literally any other private jets? No? Just Taylor Swifts. Huh.
omg i am so over pop stars dressing in degrading sexualized outfits or like chappell roan dressing as a sex doll for drag race and then people are like "these people are just subverting misogyny" "it's a statement" i'm sorry i would have believed that awhile ago i guess if any of these people made any meaningful statements about how women are objectified and mistreated along these lines but at this point in my most extremist moments i truly start to believe that entertainment media is just like a massive apparatus of like priming women to accept and celebrate our own oppression. "this outfit is so cunty" and it's just a woman pandering to the male gaze shamelessly. you can be just as cool and glamorous as these people if you let men treat you like a sex toy. yeah fucking right
when people say that women in the entertainment industry who are sexualised are expressing their own sexuality, i often think of these youtube videos that came out when i was a teenager from the buzzfeed try guys of all people
in the first one, they get styled and photoshopped the way male celebrities do, and in the second they are styled, posed and photoshopped like female celebrities
their comments are surprisingly insightful
"there was nothing human about that, i was just an object"
"in an effort to photoshop you more to female standards, your look has gone from 'i will either murder or fuck you' to 'wont you please come fuck me?'"
when women are styled this way, they aren't expressing their own desire, they're embodying cultural stereotypes that say women don't have their own sexuality, they are objects for men to project their own sexuality onto. and when male sexuality is caught up in ideas of dominance and conquest, performing for the male gaze becomes consistently degrading
some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:
addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting
phys disabled people who deny medical treatment
neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)
trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)
and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase
I tried to read the comments and felt my brain shrink

great job keeping your priorities straight, bro
https://www.instagram.com/fluence.co/: They say 87% of non-human characters on children’s shows are male, so we looked at our favorite films as children and counted. In our estimates at Fluence, less than 9% of non-human characters from our favorite childhood shows were female. But does that really matter? It turns out it does. In many Disney princess movies these side characters have a lot more speaking time than the main princess. Mushu speaks more than Mulan. Iago speaks more than Jasmine, etc.
And yes, Raja from Aladdin is a boy. The word raja literally means “prince”. Sorry to be the one to tell you. We’re working on an IGTV episode all about Disney’s focus on male characters in Princess movies, but here are some sources if you want to get a jump on the reading for extra credit. See more characters on our IG https://www.instagram.com/p/COdiQOBBsCR/ !
anti-detrans ppl will be like "if you, as a teenager, got involved with a community constantly telling you that you'll kill yourself by the age of 30 unless you medically transition, you're a gullible fucking moron for letting that convince you to transition. also we CANNOT allow detransitioners to share their stories because they might influence some people not to transition" and not see any contradiction between those two sentiments

hate living here but kentucky did a good thing recently by making it so porn sites require an id to enter (wish they just banned porn all together but baby steps ig). funny thing is, instead of porn sites making it so people need an id to access, the just removed their service from kentucky. like the whole state.
i'm glad the trash took itself out but it's fucking creepy that instead of insuring minors won't see or access porn as easily, they just removed themself entirely. let me repeat that, instead of insuring that children won't access porn as easily, porn websites would rather remove themselves entirely.
did anyone else see the edward snowden interview in the guardian about two days ago where he said that most of the NSA agents doing checks through people’s data are men aged 18-22 and that when they access photographs of attractive women naked they all send them to each other for reasons that are 100% not professional
like, if you have naked selfies on your phone, even if you have never sent them to anyone or moved them anywhere, these fucking mouthbreathers could be downloading them and sending them to all their friends

straight woman whose mtf partner is insisting she should identify as a lesbian & she spares no words describing the situation
Today in episode #72 985 of "men are men no matter what they identify as".
Where's that statistic again which shows that most men dgaf about their wives when they get sick?
Clue doesn’t protect your data anyway. I use Euki.

Guys, intent isn’t magic. This matters when we talk about males in female spaces regardless of what they are for. I’ve talked about it before, but when I was in my dv survivors group, I had male cofacilitators that led or helped lead the group. I’m sure these men believed they had good intentions. But their actions and their presence had the same result as any other male in female space. It stunted discussions, stunted growth and stunted solidarity. I lost count of how many of us would talk more before and after group than during. So I’m sorry, but I don’t care what a males intentions are or what their thought process is. This is actually still entitlement and males don’t belong in female spaces
i found my new motto “i am your future boss, not your future wife.”
lorde and mitski: stop using make up, dress up more masculine, don't shave
conservatives: they want to be men 🤢👎
queers: they want to be men ❤🏳️⚧️
If you identify as female, why are you taking the perspective of a male?
