I hate how much traditionally feminine skills are demonized.
For example, the other day I saw an article about a father who changed the art in books about Disney princesses so they weren’t “sexist”. One of the images was of Ariel decorating a cake which he changed to her eating a slice of pizza. Because I guess eating pizza is a more impressive than a skill that takes people years and years to master.
The only reason you would view a woman decorating a cake as demeaning is because you view feminine skills as lesser than.
Thinking about when I was younger, in a lot of the tween to teen movies I watched: usually the cool girl is the tomboy, and the feminine girl is portrayed as prissy and bratty. And don’t get me wrong, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with a girl being a tomboy. I just don’t think young girls really get a good media role model of strong femininity.
Based off my observations, if a girl wants to be respected she can’t just enjoy being a woman and doing feminine things, she has to be a “badass” as well. I don’t want to be a badass, I don’t want to be CEO of a company: I want to bake cookies and raise babies and garden and raise animals and look pretty for my husband.
All those things take skills and effort and some take a lifetime of mastery so why can’t they be respected as such?
"You eat cows, pigs, and chickens but you wouldn't eat a dog or cat! Cognitive dissonance!"
Sure I would, if they were affordable and tasted good (most carnivores don't make particularly good meat). I had a pet rabbit for six years that I loved but that didn't stop me from eating rabbit meat when presented the opportunity.
The only difference between pets and any other animals is that our use for them is primarily emotional instead of labor or food. That's not hypocrisy, it's just recognizing different purposes.
version of spn where dean is openly bisexual the entire time and definitely fucks a priest during a job and sam is does his judgmental little "dude" and dean is like "i already went to hell once man,, what's the worst that could happen" and everytime there's a new bad guy or apocalypse sam is like "this is bc you fucked a priest" and eventually he says it in front of Cas who does his little squint and head tilt and just
"You what?"
