Obsessed with her

[can-of-w0rmz]

Oh boy, pop culture is especially regressive right now.

Mini essay from tt below cut (elaborated on slightly from there bc word limit and censorship is crazy over there) —>

Art reflects culture, and while yes, powerful people posing suggestively in controversial ways is NOT the height of our problems right now, it is a product of them and societal acceptance of this kind of art with no repercussion is submission to a nation-wide societal collapse, or worse. A singer romanticising Lolita, an already poor movie adaptation of a novel that a man wrote to cope with his own childhood trauma, isn’t cool. Posing like a dog under a misogynistic man for your album cover, softly calling yourself “man’s best friend” (basically, ‘BITCH’, but that sounds a little harsher, yeah?) isn’t cool. An actress putting her own filth in a bar of soap and selling it to porn addicted men, not only on its own, but as a rich and powerful woman who doesn’t NEED to partake in sex work, (an industry fundamentally created for and marketed towards perverted, misogynistic, pedophile men) isn’t fucking cool.

Yes, men uphold their patriarchal systems of oppression through misogyny first and foremost, and women who act in accordance to these structures are victims of them and therefore taking the blame OFF of misogynistic men is a step in the wrong direction, however women can be misogynists too, and those women are holding these structures with their arms shaking, INSISTING that the women who have freed themselves are weak for abandoning their chains. Little things like being anti-shaving, anti-modesty, anti-‘traditional’-femininity (which really doesn’t mean ‘traditional’ at all, just quiet, docile, pseudo-Christian femininity), may seem unimportant in the scheme of things, but in the face of a culture where men’s approval is seen as ‘power’, every small act of rebellion is a good one. The adult women upholding misogynistic beliefs are adult women — they are capable of thinking for themselves and are entirely responsible for their actions and able to be blamed for them. No matter how many men are well-adjusted, good men who see us as people, we’ll never be free from an oppressive culture if we don’t WANT to be. Millions of girls all over the world are trapped in their homes, forcefully covered in fabric by pedophilic men and lusted after anyway, sold to pedophiles as their ‘wives’, severely abused, tortured, raped and killed, fleeing to what they think is ‘safety’ on your lands only to be tortured more. Little girls in YOUR ‘great country’ are being abused and groomed every day, hitting puberty and instantly an object for the gratification of men. You, an adult woman, if in the west then likely with FAR more privilege to FIGHT for freedom, can accomplish infinite things in this life or die trying, your dreams are up to test, you are never aware the extent of what you can do, and yet you degrade yourself, inciting cruelty to yourself and other women worse than how you’d treat an animal. Yes, control of your sexuality is power, but if you only conform to male-centred ideas of sexual appeal and make it your only brand of feminism, you are not IN control. It’s misogyny with a coat of glitter paint.

We’re all in a bad place right now — not just for feminism, but for society as a whole. We’re going through a major economic collapse, powerful rapists are burning the world down and people are fighting eachother instead of THEM. America, the most powerful country in the west, is on fire. We can pull through this, and come out of it stronger, build a future for our children — will you die barely human? Or will you make something of yourself? Man or woman, will you wallow in your sorrows and submit to hedonism? Or will you overcome this darkness and stand strong against injustice? History has its eyes on you. Make your choice.

Donna Murphy just shared your artwork of her on her insta stories!

Oh I know. I know. She also liked one of my very shitty Passion edits. I’m being very nonchalant about it right now trust (no)

Finding out that people only really care about Patti Lupone’s Fosca as a diehard Donna Murphy fan is a painful stab in the gut

[can-of-w0rmz]

I don’t know how to convince people that Passion is one of the best Sondheim musicals or like. Existing plays in general. but the girls who get it get it and I can’t force you to understand smh

“Why is it that the daisies and violets blossom now?” “They mistake Autumn’s warmth for April” (metaphor for unrequited love) GET OUTTTTTT
