the thing about some men is that they want you to remember, at all times, that you are underneath them. that with one word or look or "joke", you will stay beneath them. that even "exceptions" to the rule are not true exceptions - the commonly cited statistic that one in eight men believe they could win against serena williams.

women's gymnastics is often not seen as real gymnastics. whatever the fuck non-euclidian horrors rhythmic gymnasts are capable of, it's often tamped down as being not a sport. some of the most dominant athletes in the world are women. nobody watches women's soccer. despite years of dancing and being built like a fucking brick, men always assume they're faster and stronger than i am. you wouldn't like what happens when they are incorrect. once while drunk at a guy's house i won a held-plank challenge by a solid minute. the party was over after that - he became exceedingly violent.

what i mean is that you can be perfect, and they still think you're ... lacking, somehow. i hope you understand i'm trying to express a neutral statement when i say: taylor swift was the possibly the most patriarchy-palatable, straight-down-the-line woman we could churn out. she is white, conventionally attractive, usually pretty mild in personality. say what you will about her (and you should, she's a billionaire, she can handle it), but a few things seem to be true about her: 1. she can write a damn catchy song, and 2. the eras tour truly was a massive commercial success and was also genuinely an impressive feat of human athleticism and performance.

i don't know if she deserves the title of "woman of the year," i'm not debating that in this post. what i am saying is that she was named Woman of The Year, and then an untalented man got onstage at the golden globes and made fun of her for attending her boyfriend's football games. what i am saying is that this woman altered local economies - and her dating life is still being made into a "harmless" punchline. the camera panned, greedy, over to her downing a full glass of champagne. congratulations taylor! you are woman of the year! but you are a woman. even her.

fuck, man. write better material.

a guy gets onstage at a college graduation and despite the fact like half the crowd is made up of women, he spends a significant proportion of it warning these people - who spent possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars on their education - that they were lied to. that the "real" meaning of femininity is motherhood. that they shouldn't rest on the laurels of that education-they-paid-for but instead throw it away to kneel at a man's heel. imagine that. sweating in your godawful polyester gown (that you also had to pay for!), fresh out of 4 years of pushing yourself ever-harder: and some guy you've never met - who knows nothing about you - he reminds you this "win" is a pyrrhic one at best. you really shouldn't consider yourself that extraordinary. you're still a woman, even after years of study.

god forbid you are not a pretty woman, but if you are pretty, you must be dumb. god forbid you are not ablebodied or white or cis or straight or good at swallowing. you must be beneath a man, or else they are not a man. the equation for masculinity seems to just be: that which is not a woman or womanly (god forbid). anything "feminine" is thereby anathema. to engage in "feminine" things such as therapy, getting a hug from a friend, or crying - it is giving up ones manhood. therefore women need to be put in their place to ensure that masculinity is protected.

this is something i have struggled to explain to terfs - they are not doing the work of feminism, but rather the patriarchy. by asserting that women and men must be (on some secret level) oppositional and in conflict, they also assume that being a woman is akin to being another species. but bigotry does not stem from observational truths or clarity - that is what makes it bigotry. there was nothing in my childhood that made me fundamentally different from my brother. we are treated differently nonetheless. to assert there is some biological drive that enforces my gender role is to assert that women have a gendered role. men do not see women as equal to them not because of biological reality - but instead because the core tenant of the patriarchy is that women aren't full, realized people.

we are told from a very young age to excuse misbehavior as a single man's choice - not all men. it is not all men, just that one guy. all women are gold-digging bitches who belong in the kitchen - but if a man is mean, bigoted, or violent to you, it's just that particular guy, and that means nothing about men-as-a-whole. it is only one guy who got mad when you gently rejected him. it is only one guy who warns her this trophy is heavy, are you sure you can hold it? it is only one guy who smashes her face into the cake. it is only one guy talking into a mic about hating our bodily autonomy.

i have just found that they often wait until the moment we actually seem to be upstaging them. you sit in a meeting where you're presenting your own findings and he says get me a coffee? or you run to the end of the marathon and are about to finish first and he pushes your kids out in front of you. you win the chess game and they make some comment akin to well, you're ugly away. we can be the billionaire and get the dream life and finally fucking do it and yet! still! they have this strange, visceral urge to say well actually, if you think you're so great -

it's not one just one guy. it's one in eight.

starting to feel like part of the reason that Sam and Celia's romance thing feels a little off rn is cuz like. what do you mean they're actually dating. he asked her on a date and she said yes. and it's working out so far. it's chill and fine. what do you mean they're not pining for 4 seasons, not communicating, and then getting together only after one of them walked through hell to drag the other out and make sure they know they're loved and wanted. they haven't even patched each other's wounds yet hello. aren't y'all moving a little fast.

if i had a nickel for every time people attempted to cancel or deplatform will wood over stuff blown out of proportion just before a big ww event i would have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice

Do you think Falin ever saw Marcille in her little elven loungewear or would it be a bit of a surprise for her? In "a little creature" it might be a bit of a (pleasant) surprise, depending on whether Marcille hasn't used the clothes up to that point. Though it might make things a bit more awkward

so this doodle from Ryoko Kui implies that Falin has seen it, but the fact that they're on an ipad and a phone means this isn't really supposed to be canon... still, I figure an informal image in the creator's mind is still closer to canon than anything else.

I'm imagining that Marcille prooobably started wearing this type of stuff closer to her later years at the academy? Maybe she finished the graduate track program and went on to the post-graduate whatever the fuck they have. That would probably mean getting a dormitory upgrade to something a little bigger and more private, too.

As for Falin's reaction seeing it for the first time... going by how casual they are in this image, I get the feeling she didn't have much of a reaction beyond the usual "oh Marcille is wearing something new and nice" ?? I do lowkey believe she just kind of Didn't Think About Herself hard enough that her horny teenager phase was incredibly muddled and mild. That, and she got so good at "I'm not allowed to think about Marcille like that" that it just didn't happen until the dragon came along and was like. HEY. WE'RE HOT FOR ELF. CAN YOU PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT

And my thing STILL is that as carmen gets a stronger sense of her past and better connections with her friends and allies the need/desire for Gray in her life doesn't decrease and dissapate, it INCREASES and is refined. All while constantly being more sincerely layered in romantic tones as the show goes on.

While I'm thinking about Matt's cubito and being able to watch parts of his subathon this weekend:

Q!Bagi refers to the thing that follows her around as the god of the obscure since all/most of the cc's irl partners are represented as gods in the qsmp (most notably Kristen and Mine) but Matt's persona is a demon and I would find that so much more interesting.

People have mentioned the fact that she seems to have some affinity for attracting demons - dating q!Tina, bbfs with q!BBH, friends and co-mothers with q!Mouse, having q!Scottonauta on her purgatory team - so I'd find it very interesting if her 'deity' was also a demon.

Like at this point it's mentioned so much by fans that they have to do something with it and just canonising that the biggest voice in q!Bagi's head is a demon would add more layers of questions (and possibly answers) of why every demon likes her. And it's so fun to theorise about demons.

I've only read a few Discworld books so far but I'm obsessed with the way Terry Pratchett writes love interests. He will create the most insane protagonist and then introduce a woman who immediately has them Daffy duck explosion beak spinning around

[stelladess]

Aging during pandemic time be like

She just like me fr fr

EDIT: Just occured to me depending on when her birthday is and how chapter 4 is early in the year while CCoWoV is near the end of the year this can still add up actually.... altough she´d only be 22 then or would need to be 19 already in chapter 4

Do you think Vriska would wear chola/ruca fashion?

i mean based on the description given in this paper i had to read for a sociolinguistics class a few years back (mendoza denton 1996) she kinda . . . already does?

at least, it's not too far off from what she wears

I love the phrasing of "she can escape from her crib", like Dire Wolf has been trapped in an inhumane prison and has finally managed to dig out so she can wobble away on chubby toddler legs to mingle with all the wild animals near the house.

Vasso and Laursen are setting off to explore an ancient complex together in search of relics from their ideology.

These two are so frickin' cute, I can't deal with it. Y'all are supposed to be hacking ancient terminals, but this is obviously the more pressing matter.

It's only minor toxic buildup, he'll be fiiiiine...

Oh, hell yes, I'd fight hundreds of gorillas for the chance to have another t'au colonist!! For the Greater Good!

Get rekt gorillas

She's so cute dammit, I almost don't want to arrest her for conversion. Still, we can't have nonbelievers in this colony, so away to jail she goes! Hopefully she is easily swayed, I love her already and want her to stay.

And here we have the outlandus sapiens, shown here to be puffing their quite unremarkable bosom as a means of attracting a mate.

Any moment now, an Endralean will remind them that they are not welcome here. Extraordinary.

the thing about chilshi is that i see it as super one-sided on chilchuck's part and that's some shit he's bringing to the grave with him

[punkeropercyjackson]

Every chronically online cisgirl talks about how much they'd love a punk bf until we start talking about wanting to kill cops and not being cis or genderconforming😔

[bonivers]

the way pretty little liars had the girls more worried about hanna getting involved with caleb (all he does is jailbreak phones for money) than aria being involved with her teacher is sickkkkk😭😭
