What Sailor Moon Taught Me About Femininity and it's Importance to Feminism

Since I did one of Elita-One, I decided to also do one of another influential female heroine who helped me get through high school and revisiting her in university helped me find myself again. The queen of all magical girls in my opinion: Sailor Moon. Specifically, the 80s anime version which is the best one.

As stated in my last post, in my very late teenage years, I went through a dark period where I began to resent my own womanhood, convinced myself that pink was dumb and gave in to the propaganda that it was all Barbie's fault that I had a weight problem and that she was problematic. Elita-One broke the trance I was in and gave me the kick in the pants (or skirt rather) to learn to love myself again as a woman, but revisiting Sailor Moon helped me decide what kind of woman I wanted to be.

For context, Sailor Moon and the other four Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Venus are and at the same time not what you would expect in a team full of girls. Sure they are diverse in that one is the awkward girl, one is the dreamer, one is the strong yet gentle one, one is the forward one and one was the nerd, but here's the thing... ALL of them are feminine, dress cute and are open to meeting a great guy. On top of that, Sailor Moon herself is the main character and SHE is the awkward girl, she is very flawed, had growing up to do and makes bad decisions yet she is STILL a good role model for girls.

Sailor Moon the characters shows girls that you don't need to be perfect to be a good person or even a successful person. It's ok to have flaws, to have feelings, to be afraid in dangerous in situations and even ask for help as long as you keep going, improve and learn from your mistakes. And I have to give credit where credit is due, Sailor Moon does mature over the course of the series, she tries new things and even becomes good at cooking which is something that meant a lot to her. Moreover, the series Sailor Moon showed that all of the cast had flaws they needed to work on and quirks. Like Elita-One, these girls were not man haters and even called out the toxicity in that mentality, they were deep, had backstories and most importantly, they were happy and loved themselves as they were and loved each other as sisters. There were no misery chicks, no cattiness and no frenemies. Sure, at times Moon and Mars would bicker, but that was just more out of friendly rivalry.

In short, Sailor Moon taught me that femininity is nuanced and expresses itself in different ways. It's not a hive mind where everyone is the same. You can be girly, happy, fun and cute, AND do you. Moreover, femininity has a way of bringing women together and uniting them as a team rather than pitting them against each other. And that is one of the core values of feminism which is that women should support other women even when they are different from each other.

In today's day and age especially, we need to recall the wisdom of Sailor Moon in how none of the girls expect each other to be the same or even have the same goals, and unconditionally support each other. And a lot of it is due to their femininity and the common ground they have thanks to it.

Bottom line is that Sailor Moon taught me that femininity is love which extends to the sense of sisterhood we take for granted in our fellow woman. She stands as a reminder that we are a team and while each of us can do it on our own, we can do it even better together. After all, working together is how we got equal pay, two income homes and the right to vote. Imagine what else we can do if we put aside our differences and worked together?

Also, you don't have to be perfect to be great. In fact, you don't have to be the best at everything. You don't have to be the smartest, prettiest or the most popular girl in the room just as long as you are doing your best, you're getting better and most importantly, you love yourself the way you are.

We girls can make it together, be great together and be beautiful together.

Some sweet little notes I saw in the elevator at my university! Thought everyone should see them

[recoveryregression]

I want to give a huge shout out to age regressors with hallucinations, paranoia, schizo-spec disorders, trauma, religious beleifs, or anything that can make Halloween a scary time of year.

You aren't a 'bad' regressor for not enjoying Halloween, you aren't a 'bad' regressor for wanting to avoid it- Regardless of the reason.

I hope you have a good day, remember to stay safe and take care.
