a review from the cispontine end of london bridge, 8th of april 2023

I wish it were more acceptable for girls and women to just call feminine beauty rituals degrading.

like i cant believe how much i used to jump around that word growing up. No, I'm not gonna wear a swimsuit that's designed to show my entire ass, only looks good when im completely bald down there or otherwise forces me to constantly monitor my behavior or my literal gentials will spill out of it because it's "just not my style". I find it literally degrading. I feel like an animal.

This is so important! Women's clothes are so often wildly undignified, but if we complain or chose more practical options we're accused of being "prudish" or assumed to be "modest". As if the only reason we'd want clothes that actually function as clothing is because we're conservative and ashamed of our bodies.

Yet men don't get called "modest" for not showing their crotches and ass-cheeks at the beach or for wearing clothes that allow movement and aren't basically shrink-wrapped on. They don't get called "prudish" for attending formal events in suits that cover them from ankle to wrist to neck instead of in basically lingerie. Their clothes aren't referred to as "dad jeans" or "grandpa undies" for covering their butts and coming up to their waists.

People know a lot of women's clothes are degrading, they just don't want to admit out loud that degradation is the price women are expected to pay in order to exist in public.

I think about this tweet all the time because they would've been SO powerful...

Like Brendan IS the lovable "oaf" superhero, and Sandra IS the no-nonsense, competitive journalist. The VISION:

There was never a period of time in which women did not work

The idea that, in older ways of life or more traditional forms of community, women did not work is a malicious myth

Women have always worked and contributed to the development of our communities

Domestic work is still work

In more agrarian-dependent areas, working on the family farm, in whatever capacity they can, is implicitly expected of women

Child care is still work

The work women have done over the centuries is important even if they didn’t make money off of it

normalize housewife as a dream job

But have you thanked yourself for carrying you this far in life yet?

There’s a huge mistake we make when debating prostitution. It should always be talked about as a class issue. Prostitution is humiliation, exploitation and abuse for women as a class of people. It doesn’t matter if some girl claims she enjoys selling her nudes on OnlyFans, for example - what matters is how it affects females as a whole. I’m sick of anecdotal arguments being used for an issue that destroys so many lives.

hate what tiktok has done to coquette. Coquette was supposed to be about being messy and imperfect and embracing your childlike self and reliving your girlhood and they turned it into a classist, racist, and misogynistic shit pile with a pink aesthetic filter and bow on top
