use the force

Sometimes I still think about that post I saw going around a while ago that was a story about a woman in ancient Greece who was supposed to be sentenced to death, but during her trial she showed her boobs to the court and they decided to let her live because her boobs were so perfect, and then it was 400,000+ notes of people ranting and going on essays about how that was the most feminist and female empowering thing they’d ever heard and how this is proof of how powerful and empowered women are, and I still get really pissed off about that. Like, the idea that deciding a woman’s life is only worthwhile because she was conventionally attractive according to the beauty standards of the time and because she appealed to male sexuality was what made her life worth keeping, and if she wasn’t conventionally attractive and if she didn’t appeal to male sexuality (because of course the court deciding her fate was all male so it was all men who decided she was only allowed to live because she had nice boobs) like, she would have died if she didn’t perfectly fit society’s beauty and body image standards, but her life was only considered worth saving because of how appealing she was and how well she fit beauty standards, yet there were 400,000+ notes of people ranting about how incredibly feminist and empowering that was, and honestly that’s such a perfect summary of what’s wrong with modern feminism

female awesome meme; 3/10 ladies in movies: amy dunne (gone girl) “nick dunne took my pride and my dignity and my hope and my money. he took and took from me until i no longer existed. that’s murder. let the punishment fit the crime.”

“godspeed” is such a great phrase for a combination of words that makes absolutely no contextual sense

it’s okay to have clumsy and awkward sex and it’s actually really common

the ability to laugh while you’re lying tangled and naked together bc you realize just how silly something is is really really intimate and trusting, and it’s the best feeling to be like that with someone and to be relaxed

it happens with long-term partners, it happens on hookups, and it’s rarely as bad as it’s always made out to be, except we usually think it’s bad we're told that’s not how sex is supposed to go. but that’s not true. 

it can still be passionate and intimate while being messy and clumsy, absolutely. you don’t need to “perform well.” sex isn’t a show: it’s about feeling good. sometimes it takes experimenting to figure out what feels good, and fumbles and awkward moments and laughter is all just part of it. sometimes that’s a huge part of the fun.
