Drag me if you want but I feel like a major problem with liberal/Western gender ideology is that it’s so focused on aesthetics. Like “Look at me, I’m defying gender norms by wearing a dress/suit/makeup/whatever.” Like okay but what about defying gender norms via the breakdown of behaviour? What about acknowledging things like male entitlement, aggression, perceived weakness and submissiveness, the expectation of women to perform emotional labour etc. If we don’t actively work to break down oppressive and dangerous gender stereotypes, what is the point? Defying gender norms and identities can’t just be limited to clothing, hair, and makeup

destroy men by making them do dishes for once

Learn Yo Shit

1. Vaginal discharge is normal 2. Wearing panty liners 24/7 is not necessary 3. Vaginas are acidic enough to BLEACH fabric, hence the discoloration of underwear 4. Longer labias are more normal than smaller ones (but both are fine) 5. It is not safe for vaginas to smell like sunshine and flowers so quit expecting it to 6. Having sex has no correlation of how “tight” your vagina is 7. Yeast infections are COMMON

RIP to everyones Black panties because of your acidic vaginas

I've been doom-mongering about the consequences of Brexit for ages, but I didn't even dream of this one...

No more Marmite, Ben and Jerry’s, or Solero in Tesco. The fuck. Context: The £ is absolutely tanking atm, it dips literally every time Davis speaks ( that’s not even a joke, it literally rose after he sat down. It’d now at parity with the euro, at $1.22 the last I checked), so Unilever got into a pricing argument with Tesco . Tesco refused to raise prices, so no more Unilever products supplied. The shit, ofc, will hit the fan when this starts happening to all other supermarkets, and loads more goods that rely of global markets. Well done, Brexiters. Pack of drooling idiots. Special mention, too, goes to the leftwing (lexiter, I think they call themselves) twats who even now whine “the vote wasn’t just about immigration, people were concerned about living standards and insecurity!” That went well.

NO MORE MAGNUMS?!!?

Clearly I need to start hoarding like the economic apocalyptic clusterfuck is nigh (which it apparently is).

When you find yourself drowning in self-hate, you have to remind yourself that you weren’t born feeling this way. That at some point in your journey, some person or experience sent you the message that there was something wrong with who you are, and you internalized those messages and took them on as your truth. But that hate isn’t yours to carry, and those judgments aren’t about you. And in the same way that you learned to think badly of yourself, you can learn to think new, self-loving and accepting thoughts. You can learn to challenge those beliefs, take away their power, and reclaim your own. It won’t be easy, and it won’t happen over night. But it is possible. And it starts when you decide that there has to be more to life than this pain you feel. It starts when you decide that you deserve to discover it.
