Things typically made for women (ex. high heels, bikinis, mini skirts) are designed to be impractical and humiliating btw. I don't think most people realize how demeaning they look, because we are so used to seeing them on women. We are so used to seeing women in the tiny micro thongs at the beach, having to be careful not to move around too much so that they don't accidentally flash everyone. All while men get to wear the comfortable, covering shorts, that allow them to move as much as they want, climb up rocks, and run without having to double-check whether their fucking balls are hanging out. The comparison looks ridiculous. Just another example of women having to perform in every aspect of their life, even when doing activities as innocent as swimming.

Misogyny is still misogyny even if it's against a 'basic' 'cishet' white woman and I'm sick of people who act like it's any less bad

they’ll call radical feminism ”white feminism“, while not realizing that liberal feminism is a western concept.

most women in developing countries are radical feminists, since they experience sex based oppression every day.

the talibans are not banning "whoever identifies as a woman“ from going to school, the clergy in iran is not oppressing women because of their gender identity, girls in africa are not getting their genitals mutilated because they identify as women.

wherever you’re the oppressor or the opressed one in a patriarchal society is not assigned at birth it is observed.

Men criticize Barbie (2023) because Barbie is an astronaut, a lawyer, a president, and a million other things, but Ken is the stay-at-home spouse rather than her and he's happy to be just Barbie's malewife, he would do anything for her and he is totally fine with that, and somehow these men just want the roles reversed.

I want to wear an outfit that doesn't even fit. To let myself be groped and manhandled. 🤤

I want him to spread my pussy so the panties are right in between my pussy lips. Praise me by telling me I'm a good slut girl and giving my pussy a couple slaps too. 😈 Spank my ass until a hand print appears 🍑 then move on to rip off the small panties I have and stick a finger in my wet pussy, put a finger in my ass, see how easy it was to slide in and have me stay open and available all weekend 💕

Have me stand by pulling me by my hair and leading me to the kitchen. At the table you sit down and pull me down so I'm on my knees ready to suck dick. Tell me big girls don't use their hands to make a man cum. I can only use my mouth 🥰 I must keep my hands behind my back.

Slap me, if I slow down or just for fun. Make me feel like a dumb little slut for you. Tell me to sit there, don't move and wait with my tongue out while you get up and walk awake for a few minutes. Coming back telling me "Such an obedient slut. You will do everything I say. You're such a good pet for me." -- While you take a seat back in your chair ready to use my mouth for your pleasure.

Panting like a dog in heat, I start licking away like a good pet would do 😇👅💦

How many times does a writer have to poorly write a female character before you have to just consider the idea the writer hates women.

Every single female to female interaction in Helluva Boss exists on a sliding scale of hostility, ramping up from Harvest Moon onward. In Harvest Moon, Millie has the most meaningful interactions for her character between her mother and Sister Sally May.

Millie and her Mother do not have a great relationship. Millie's mom is constantly scrutinizing and criticizing everything Millie does. Millie is given a blatant double standard compared to her other siblings. Anything Millie does has consequences while MtF transgender sister Sally May is spoiled by both the family and the writers.

Sally May condescends her older sister constantly. Being given a position of superiority by just her attitude while the way she is allowed to get away with the same things Millie does but can't be excused for shows a clear golden child and scapegoat child. However, none of this ever gets addressed. We are meant to believe that this is what healthy and good female to female familial relationships are supposed to look like when it hinges on unfair family dynamics.

This could have been the plot to the episode. Millie is seeking a constantly critical mother's approval while watching a younger sister get preferred treatment. It would allow a ton of character for Millie. Constant scrutiny and unequal treatment have a psychological effect on children.

Madrano insists there is a sibling rivalry between Sally May and Millie, but doesn't seem to realize where rivalries come from in family dynamics. If it was a competitive outlet like a sport, that would be one thing. However, the only comparison we see throughout the episode is that mom lets Sally May do whatever she wants while Millie is left out. That kind of sibling rivalry is not healthy on a fundamental level. Kids in healthy families get treated fairly. That means that kids should be held to the same expectations in broad strokes while making room for their individuality. Punishing one kid for doing the exact thing the other one is doing without consequence is not a loving, healthy family dynamic, and it says a lot that the criticism is leveled solely on Millie. The only cis female child.

Then there is Truth Seekers. The pilot was the only point where any suggestion of tension between Millie and Loona was expressed before the two had basically no interaction with each other in the series proper. However, it is written like we should just assume they have a not-great relationship as they make little jabs at one another. Like, there is this presumption that women just naturally don't get along that colors their entire interaction. We are supposed to get this idea that they are growing closer throughout the mission but have no foundation of where they are growing from, and every "bond" made is generously coated with backhanded compliments.

Even when being kind, the characters can't help but hiss at each other with insults towards female sensitive issues like aging. It's up there with making fun of someone's weight. It's an issue unfairly targeted towards women that is a genuine source of distress in Western society. Madrano, being a woman, especially one who has openly struggled with aesthetic concerns of her own body, finding nothing wrong with characters attacking female characters for their looks says a lot.

There are additional quips of just blatant misogyny throughout season 2. The character assassination of Stella from being a potentially abusive, cold, and selfish partner to being hyper emotional and screeching all the time with no ability to have a complex throught beyond the level of a toddler. The repeated insults of "bag of holes", "pussy face" and "tit haver" by Blitz as female side characters are boiled down to nothing but the sexual qualities which are then used to demean and belittle them.

The true zeitgeist of Madrano's attitude towards female relationships is seen best in Episode 8. The early interaction of Loona and the poodle hound is vapid, which makes the hostility feel less personal between the characters and more a continuation of this female misogyny. The reasoning for Loona to become so upset is weak throughout the episode but is simultaneously felt to be justified while being a character flaw.

The poodle shows an embarrassing picture of Loona with the same vapid reasoning as Stella: I hurt you because it's my enjoyment. Seeing how this is the second appearance of this characterization, this is where I begin to believe that Vivienne had a hard time making friends with other girls in school. Instead of any level of self-awareness towards maybe herself being an unagreeable person, she assumes this was just how women are. The way she frames Loona in a lot of these scenes feels too personal. It almost feels she assumed we all had this kind of experience growing up as young women, and that is why it never gets fleshed out more.

The scene could have been used so much better with being specifically targeted towards Loona and her character. Have the poodle say something like, "Loona? Lunatic Loona? Is that really you? We thought you, like, died or something!"

Have Loona feel awkward and out of place, unsure if it's an insult or a legitimate concern, and have her toe that line of neutrality as she tries to assess the atmosphere. It shows a desire to be accepted, a very raw inner self that is quick to be triggered, as well as her lacking in interpersonal skills. She can simply pull in with a defensive, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Then, have the poodle respond with something like, "I dunno. You got adopted one day and then totally disappeared. When they didn't return you, we all just assumed you died or some shit."

It is a cruel joke that says way more about Loona than anything we have been given. It can get a laugh as well as open the door to so much unspoken lore that fans could actively explore. It actually establishes Loona's fear of abandonment that never gets set up at all throughout the series. Even Seeing Stars doesn't establish that fear, yet still tries to act like it is present in the story.

This sort of cold disinterest in Loona better fuels the level of insecurity needed to have Loona lash out the way she does. Instead of being so thin-skinned that embarrassment alone triggers her to blow up, have it be the utter loneliness that people she knows don't care whether she is alive or dead and that she lacks fundamental worth to others.

But this isn't the only massive train wreck of escalation seen in the episode. Beelzebub is a genuinely sweet character throughout the episode who does nothing to even hint at selfishness or malice. She graciously accepts an embarrassing defeat in front of everyone while Loona can't so much as laugh at herself. Loona uses Blitz's win to then elevate herself socially in the party, not actually spending any time with her adopted father.

I am genuinely confused by people claiming that Loona was defending Blitz as Beelzebub is simply telling her that her dad is not doing well and that she should check on him. Telling someone their friend or family member is self-destructing is not something anyone needs defending from. That goes into the fanbase more than the writing however.

Back to the actual episode, the line that causes Beelzebub to snap at Loona isn't when Loona accuses her of being jealous or petty, but when Loona merely states that everyone loves Bee. For some reason, that comment is what triggers a fight. It shows a fundamental lack of understanding basic human interaction. That women are too emotional that they blow up for no reason. It almost feels more at home in a JustPearlyThings fever dream than an actual serious exploration of human emotion. Add to it the deescalation doesn't come from communication or finding common ground, but by elevating the comfort of a man.

I'm not sure how many times it needs to appear in action and be so forced to the point that it doesn't even bother to justify itself, by acting like this is just everyone's experience with women, before we can call a spade a spade.

You know, I’m firmly in the camp of “don’t trust celebrities in general” because so many of them are shitty people (either openly or not-so-secretly), but I really hate when yet another celebrity is outed. Because it SO QUICKLY goes from genuine fans being sad and actual commentary on the situation - or even just “yeah I kinda always had a feeling about them”- to racism, misogyny, fatphobia, etc.

I 100% think that we need to hold people like Doja Cat and Taylor Swift and Lizzo and Ariana Grande accountable for their actions, but I am so fucking sick of seeing all the brainrot incels come out of the woodwork thinking it’s their time to shine, and just shitting all over these women for being women, for being fat, and/or for being black.

Just because I don’t like or support someone doesn’t mean I want to sit and listen to you spout vile hateful bigoted shit about them. Because guess what, all that stuff you’re saying applies to billions of good people. And if you think it’s okay to be racist and misogynistic and fatphobic to bad people, it is ONLY EVER because you are a racist, a misogynist, and a fatphobe.

It’s like when people think it’s okay to misgender or deadname a trans person just because said trans person turned out to be an asshole. That is not okay. And it’s not about “respect” for the person, it’s not about consideration. It’s because misgendering someone (intentionally) is wrong.

Right now the only celebrity I have even a shred of hope left for is Daniel Radcliffe
