just venting about personal stuff <3 <3
i want to cry. i asked for very simple things from the grocery store to make dinner tonight because our neighbor very kindly gave us a bag of bone-in lamb chunks and i made my roux and then went to get the things i asked for and nothing. and like, it's my fault that i didn't check first i guess but i just assumed my partner would get what i needed. and this stupid pot their parents bought me is still a learning curve because it's a very good pot but it heats up so fast and i'm not used to that. i'm used to my old pot i had for literally 15 years. so now the roux is ruined, the lamb is ruined, i don't even have the stuff i need to maybe salvage it, i can't go to the store because our car is wrecked after the accident and i don't even know if i'd have the money to buy the stuff i need in the first place.

i’m all for genderfuckery in fandom. want to cis-swap a cis man into a cis woman? go for it. want to trans that character’s gender? love it. but i HATE the fics where a character—usually a cis male character—is ~magically transformed~ into a cis woman’s body (and they’re FULLY AWARE that they were transformed, it’s literally part of the plot), and then having them suddenly identify as women. it’s actually so infuriating.
like it’s 100% the trans person in me reacting to this, but it’s literally maddening. if you were a cis man and suddenly had a cis woman’s body—you would almost certainly experience gender dysphoria, esp when the change proves itself permanent and they’re suddenly going through the world being misgendered 24/7. your BODY does not dictate your GENDER IDENTITY. and these writers never do anything interesting, like have the character slowly realize they were actually a trans woman all along, or have them grapple with suddenly having to move through the world as a trans man and the implications of being a trans man despite growing up a cis boy, or hell, have them realize they never identified as any gender at all! like, if you want to write a cis swap fic, just write a cis swap fic. have them be cis women from the get go. this ~magical transformation where because i no longer have a dick i ID as a woman~ bullshit is stupid, bad, and gross.

( it’s incredibly telling when someone only cares about you if you constantly churn out replies or are a thread-writing machine, because as soon as you complain about a lack of engagement ooc or ic, they softblock. and the real kicker is that they’ll state they’ll unfollow if you also complain about having more than 80 drafts as well, which i… don’t do. if anything, i honestly complain more about lacking drafts, and if you have been following me for a while now, you know i don’t post excessive ooc unless you count headcanon posts and things still related to my muse.
but at this point, i’m very tired, because i simply just can’t win with people in the rpc… )

for the record, mk’s favorite march sister is amy
(yes im elaborating on a silly doodle i did days ago, yes this is the most unnecessary post ever, move along)
to clarify: im looking at this through the lens of greta gerwig’s little women because in spite of having seen the 1994 version my fair share of times i could tell you almost nothing about it for some reason
i don’t think this is something he’d openly admit because of her more childish scenes. she can be loud and cruel and she burns jo’s writing and so it’s easy to dislike watching her
but she also steps up. “learns her place”. ignores what she feels because she believes she has to become something. although not thoroughly explored in the movie, i gotta imagine how absolutely lonely she must feel.
see where im going with this? i think that would really resonate with him and so her character would grow on him. he’s jealous that she can express her “worst” emotions. he’s annoyed with her pettiness because it’s unreasonable to him. these are the same things he could never allow himself to do or think or feel because he has to be something.
so seeing her change hits. because he did that too. don’t get me wrong im not saying they’re the same character or anything lol but in her he sees the heart of the child he once was and the desperate, lonely person he became.
oh also dedede likes beth because he cries every time a parent or child dies in a movie

i feel like some people, even some kind of feminists, imagine misogyny as something almost hypothetical or purely emotional. like a system that just makes women sad or something.
misogyny is dangerous. misogyny kills women. medical misogyny, femicide, rape, sexual assault, FGM, domestic violence, prostitution, etc are so often overlooked in favour of conversations about shaving & makeup (which are obviously still very real misogynistic issues) and i feel like this is why misogyny is often seen as a social issue less important or less dangerous than others.
copying and pasting my reblog:
if anyone has misunderstood, my post wasn’t trying to say “we as feminists need to talk about male violence more instead of the beauty industry” or “people don’t take misogyny seriously because we talk about makeup&shaving” or even “the beauty industry is less of a feminist issue than male violence” -but rather that our oppressors deliberately try to make misogyny seem a tame and unimportant version of social injustice so that people can ignore female suffering more than other suffering.
this is not to say that the beauty industry is tame or unimportant. the beauty industry (makeup, shaving, body modification, plastic surgery, etc) is a form of male violence and not a triviality. we do need to have conversations about the beauty industry because it is a significant aspect of misogyny which affects literally billions of women daily. the only people who this suffering is unimportant to are the oppressors which enforce it, men.
feminism does have conversations about male violence and have done so for centuries. men & the commodified mainstream version of ‘feminism’ do not and have not had these conversations. it is the work of the patriarchy and of female oppression which will have people believe that male violence is a nearly fictional extreme of misogyny, which is why men’s conversations of feminism often ignore these issues.
