Thatgurlpersephonee - Just Nonsense

i have more of this

wow i love twitter sm.

on a serious note - i think it's funny to portray women not wearing make-up as silly and childish when you're the one apparently caring so much about what other people are doing to their faces.

ask yourself: why do you find bare faces not appropriate for formal events? why does it bother you to see a woman without makeup? how does it effect you? why do you think it effects you?

you're so insistent that there are no societal pressures at play, that women are doing this exclusively for themselves and for the joy of it - then where does this urge to force it on women who don't find joy in it come from? why does it annoy you to see women in their natural way of being? it's a choice, but also there's a right choice, apparently, and anyone stepping out of line shoud be promptly shamed into submission. right?

"a little (whatever) never hurt anybody" okay and neither does a bare face. grow up.

I've noticed that men usually only see what things are on a very superficial level, and women are able to see not just what they are but what they 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯. We see the larger picture, the symbolism that men either can't see or choose to ignore.

For example, when a woman tells her fiance 4,897 times that when they feed each other cake at the wedding, to please not smash the cake all over her face. She couldn't be clearer that this is immensely important to her. He says, "Okay" - and when the time comes he smashes the cake all over her face, guffawing.

Or when a marriage is on the rocks because a wife feels consistently disrespected and unappreciated, and she gives her husband one last chance to demonstrate that he loves her - and she comes home to a trail of rose petals that lead to a sink full of his dirty dishes. And he calls it a joke.

Men in the comments of these videos say things like, "Gosh, if she gets that mad over a little frosting/a joke, he's better off without her!" But women can understand in a flash that of COURSE its not about frosting or a poor joke - because what buffoon would think that? Its about the total disregard for her feelings; the way that all these things say, "You can plead with me about something that's important to you a million times, and I'll deliberately disregard it and laugh in your face about it. Why? 𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦."

And you can't get men to understand any of this. Try it. They'll just say things like, "you obviously can't take a joke just like the other woman here" and eventually trot out some misogynistic slurs. They're literally just not at a level of evolution to understand these things that are so easily grasped by women. As someone once said, "You can't speak butterfly language to caterpillar people."

i'm on vacation so i have more time to do more of mlb social media :DD

exactly

Also like Lukanette and Adrigami could have been so good but they threw it away immediately. Same thing with the inverse of the love square, like we finally got some absolutely adorable Marichat and it was ripped from our hands

The saddest part about miraculous ladybug is the POTENTIAL it had, layers upon layers of interesting story:

- the love square dynamic

- a hero son and a villain father but neither of them know it

- marinette’s lowkey stalker energy (I wish it was portrayed better I think that could be so cool)

- Adrien not understanding how to express love in a healthy way

- Adrian being a SENTIMONSTER literally incapable of disobeying his father

- the whole concept of Chat Noir giving Adrian freedom and Ladybug taking Marinette’s freedom away

- Marinettes “smart girl, just crazy” compared to Adrian’s “dumb blonde, but pretty sweet” dynamic that we get every once in a while

All of it thrown away by trashy writing 😭

95% of women in prostitution want to leave, but can't because they don't have things such as financial means, healthcare, housing, treatment for addiction, or job training.

this is not a 'choice', and it is not 'empowering'.

there is no consent when a woman is fearing for her life.

Ladynoir July 2024, Day 31: Partners

(this is how they are to me)

Text below cut:

CN: M’Lady, would you like a mentos?

LB: You dropped it didn’t you.

CN: I resent the accusation ! I thought that this relationship was built on TRUST!

LB: Trusting you with my life and trusting you to not feed me floor candy are two very different things.

CN: And yet, when I rip this mentos from my heart and offer it to you, I am met with HOSTILITY and SUSPICION. Can Paris survive such discord between its protectors?

LB: OH MY TIKKI - Fine, just hand it over.

CN: No

LB: What - Why?

CN: You’re not being sincere…

LB: Dear Chat Noir, please forgive me for my distrust of you and your mentos - it will be my greatest honor to accept your generous gift. I hope that this will be enough to repair the profound damage my words have dealt to our partnership.

CN: Oh Bugaboo! I furtive mew! Our partnership has been saved!

LB: So, the mentos…?

CN: I ate it.

LB: Why are you like this?

Happy Friday!

Friday is Aphrodite’s day every week and I like to honor Her by writing a little prayer. Today’s topic is self-care when it’s hard. I chose this because as someone with depression who is also a major people pleaser, it’s very hard for me to put myself first or care about myself at all, and I know I’m mot the only one who struggles with that.

Note: I do not write prayers often but am practicing, so this may not be good. Sorry!

Loving Goddess Aphrodite

Of the sea (Pontia)

Of the sky (Ourania)

Of the dark (Melainis)

I ask you to please help me with this request.

She who rules over love of all forms,

Assist me in caring for myself.

Help me to see me the way you do

Beautiful, Loving, and Human

And help me to treat myself like I deserve

with patience, kindness, and care.

For when the waves of my emotions

crash against my heart,

and when the skies are filled with sorrow

When all I can see is darkness,

You are the light.

I thank you for all that you have already done

for I now know how you see me.

I ask you to help me to take care of my mind and body

For I know that I am full of beauty.

Radical feminism is not about a woman’s happiness...

It is about dismantling the social constructs forced upon women. It is not a neatly wrapped gift tied with a bow, presented to every woman so she may open it with joy and satisfaction. We are trapped in a consumerist mindset, where everything is viewed as a product meant for our pleasure and consumption.

Many women have harsh and abrupt encounters with radical feminism because it disrupts their “individualistic choice-making” mindset. It forces accountability and rejects female infantilization. It demands that we question the systems we participate in, rather than simply indulging in personal comfort.

So, of course the average woman wouldn't care about radical feminism... It doesn’t offer instant gratification. It doesn’t promise happiness or comfort. That’s the reality. Unlike neoliberalism which promises that regardless of choice or context, as long as YOU are making the choice, then it is empowering. Radical feminism is about fighting—about refusing to accept the conditions we’ve been given. Yet, under patriarchal social constructs, women have been conditioned to do the opposite: to lay down and take it.

Radical feminism aims to break this cycle, but it isn’t easy, and it isn’t supposed to be. It is a call to action, not a balm to satisfy your individual wounds.
