i need swifties to shut the fuck up about 'oh so kendrick's disses can be analyzed for hidden meanings but we can't do the same for taylor songs' yeah bc that's not isolated to kendrick. subliminals and entendres abound in rap. taylor swift songs are as deep as a puddle while youre wearing flip flops and your feet still arent wet

I think a lot of people on this website really need to understand and internalize the fact that many women can be, and often are, agents of the Patriarchy. Including otherwise marginalized women.
It also needs to be understood and internalized that this is not a novel or anti-Feminist idea. In fact, it is a long standing and well documented idea particularly in Black, Brown, and Indigenous Feminism. Especially in the Feminism of queer WoC.
You are not immune from this. No one is. Everyone participates in and can perpetuate Patriarchy. Everyone participates in and can perpetuate misogynist behavior. It came free with our Patriarchal, misogynist, society.
If that makes you uncomfortable, examine why. If you think you are impervious from participating in Patriarchy and misogyny, examine why. If you don't think you have internalized behaviors and ideas ingrained into you by virtue of living in a bigoted world just because you disagree with those ideas on a surface level - you are likely wrong. Examine that. Self reflect.
We're all forced into participating in and perpetuating systems we disagree with and without examining how we do so we will never achieve real liberation.

they're filming season two, but i'm thinking about the potential adaption of the mount tam scene in season three. you know, the one where annabeth could apologize for pushing percy out of the way and falling off the cliff in his place, and how she knows that sounds terrible but they didn't have time for another plan and she didn't want to lose him that way. but percy just engulfs her in a hug because he's so relieved that she's safe now and everything else be damned. and annabeth doesn't understand why he's snickering to himself after that last statement, but she melts into the hug anyway because she missed him. and thalia and grover stand in the background happy for their friends on the outside but internally mortified, because their friends are definitely falling for each other but fate may not allow them to see it through.
