the white suit tho
Great thought, but for those unaware, Kate Mulgrewâs gorgeous tux from The Killing Game was 100% a reference to Dietrichâs suit in Blonde Venus (1932) with Cary Grant, a pre-Code film directed by Josef von Sternberg. Itâs hard to tell in Killing Game, but Mulgrewâs lapels are also sequined. So is the stripe in the trousers. It is basically a replica of Dietrichâs suit, no question.
Okay, so I have a PhD in queer fashion and media. So this is something I happen to know a lot about. So let me explain a few things.
For starters, You cannot get a more explicitly queer-coded woman than Marlene Dietrich.
Cary Grant (another closeted Queer in Hollywood) is also in Blonde Venus, and although their chemistry is great, their romance is unbelievable because itâs very clear that they are both absolutely queer. Hattie McDaniel appears in this film, another Queer in Hollywood (and the first Black person ever to win an Oscar). In both Blonde Venus and Morocco (1930), Dietrich flirts with both men and women. Dietrich was considered a Drag King in her day. She famously proclaimed, âI am a gentleman at heart.â
Dietrich often refused to wear anything but trousers, and openly declared that she had plenty of women lovers. She is an iconic staple for queer sexuality even today. She famously kissed a woman in Morocco whilst wearing a tuxedo- with an audience watching and cheering. She then kisses a man, the audience applauds, and she exits. This scene (below) was added at Dietrichâs own behest. The scene was extremely controversial, and they had to defend it against the censors for months.
A short segment featuring Quentin Crisp and Susie Bright talking about the significance of women wearing male attire in film. Features clip
This very scene is one of the many reasons The Hays Code was enacted (rules from a super-Catholic man who bribed his way into Hollywood and forced the religious ideologies onto the screen), and this scene was one that The Hays Code often pointed to as 'immoralâ and 'pervertedâ and 'sexually explicit.â You can thank the Hays Code for the split beds Lucy and Ricky had, for rules that a kiss must not last longer than a certain amount of time, that, absolutely, NO queer ANYTHING could be acknowledged to exist. Everything had to be subtext, and thatâs why so many old black and white films feel really queer.
But Dietrich openly proclaimed herself queer, dressed in menâs clothing, kissed women on screen- and became a Queer icon not just in fashion, but in sexuality, decadence, and identity. The so-called famous âDietrichâs Sewing Circleâ (of which Hattie McDaniel was a member) was essentially every Queer woman in Hollywood who all had affairs with each other. Books have been written on this. Hereâs a brief article about one of those books that goes through some of the basics.
Okay, Queer Fashion Film Academic, whatâs your point?
The point is that by wearing a duplicate of a Dietrich suit- one where she openly flirted with women, no lessâJaneway is 100% coded as queer in The Killing Game.
Especially with that tuxedo scene and the way sheâs talking to Seven. In fact, most of the scenes in those episodes where she is talking to Seven, you will notice that Mulgrew plays Janeway with a bite- her eyes linger on Seven just a bit longer, her body language is just a bit more open and fierce than usual.
Even in Paris, for a woman to wear what Mulgrew/Janeway is clearly coding herself as a Queer person through that specific outfit. She is wearing a giant billboard that says I AM QUEER.
By putting Kate Mulgrew in a replica of a Dietrich 1940s tuxedo, Janeway is visually coded as queer through replication and imitation of one of the most Queer icons in cinematic history. That suit is too famous, too iconic, too specifically loaded with subtext and text of queerness through Dietrich.
I am convinced that the costume department 100% knew what they were doing, and part of me wonders if Kate Mulgrew herself had pushed for that suit. Why? Because Kate Mulgrew herself was the one who pushed for Janeway to have a same-sex relationship. According to Screenrant, anyway):
Above quote from this article.
(Anyway, regardless of whether Screenrant is correct or not, the point still stands without that.)
Watch Blonde Venus. Watch Morocco. Then, watch Kate Mulgrew in The Killing Game. She imitates Dietrichâs body-language, her mannerisms, the smirk, in that opening scene. There is no question- Janeway has been possessed by Dietrichâs characters.
Funnily enough, for the rest of those two episodes, Kate Mulgrew is also very clearly imitating another Queer woman through her voice intonation and mannerisms, general fashion and hairstyles: Katharine Hepburn.
Because of her absurd visual and voice similarity to Katharine Hepburn (another Queer in Dietrichâs sewing circle), Mulgrew once played Hepburn in Tea at Five.
Like Dietrich (bisexual), Hepburn was very clearly Queer coded. Evidence suggests that she was a lesbian and that her relationship with Tracy was set up by the studios, but it is possible that she was bisexual as well. Like Dietrich, she was also famous in Hollywood for her male-coded attire, though she preferred regular suits to Dietrichâs tuxedos.
She, like Dietrich, had the same problem whenever they teamed up with Cary Grant- watch Philadelphia Story and tell me that the real ending of that movie is not Hepburnâs character, Grantâs character and Stewartâs character all ending up in a thruple together. The movie makes no sense if thatâs not the real ending.
Hepburn wore trousers on film sets and this upset the studio so much they literally stole her trousers, trying to force her into a skirt. Hepburn just walked around in her knickers, refusing to wear the skirt. Eventually, the studio gave her back the trousers.
Okay, Iâm going off tangent. Hereâs your takeaway:
Kate Mulgrew, (because sheâs an absurdly amazing talent), is very heavily is influenced in mannerism, voice, accent and appearance by two of the most Queer-Coded women in cinematic history in The Killing Game. Through fashion and performance, she embodies Dietrichâs Blonde Venus and Morocco characters, and through appearance, voice and body language, she gives that image an additional layer of of Hepburnâs fierce, Queer persona.
Conclusion: Arguably throughout all of Voyager, but specifically In The Killing Game, Kathryn Janeway is visibly Queered.
By the way, although she never got credit for it, the person who wrote Blonde Venus was Dietrich herself. Both she and von Sternberg were suspended for several months because the movie was considered too salacious by the Hays code, and it caused production problems for over a year.
The BFI has a great write-up on Dietrichâs queerness and fashion, you can read it here: https://www.bfi.org.uk/features/my-best-girlfriend-queer-dietrich-screen
That white suit means so much more than you thought.

this looks like red has just this moment decided to murder greyâs husband
Iâd just like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that âlight hair+dark hairâ and âone woman upright/on a higher visual level+one woman reclining/on a lower visual levelâ were tropes used in pulp fiction covers to signify that the book was about lesbians.
So what youâre saying is that Red DEFINITELY just at this moment decided to murder Greyâs husband.
as soon as i read that addition this popped into my head
Hey I did a project on lesbian pulp fiction, here are some more covers!

Recently, someone I know tried to argue that Wonder Woman would destroy Xena in a fight. Honey, no. It would be a stale mate, both would acknowledge how strong the other was, there would probably be a little bit of sexual tension if weâre being real, and they would go their separate ways.

Dear Men Writers
Lesser known facts when writing women:
High heeled shoes donât become flats if you break the heels off.
The posts of earrings arenât sharp.
Nail polish takes a long time to dry and smudges when wet.
You canât hold in a period like pee.
Inserting a tampon is not arousing or sexual in any way, ever.
Feel free to add your own.
- Bras leave red marks on the skin under and around boobs and it is a magical experience when taken off.
- Make up can take anywhere from 5 to 25 minutes depending on how skilled you are.
- Taking hair out of a ponytail after wearing it for hours does not make it perfectly straight when it comes down.
- Hair when wet sticks to the skin it no longer flows, idiot.
-When women with long hair kiss, turn around, do anything, their hair falls in the way.
- Stockings are itchy and tear like wet paper bags.
- Pantyhose, tights, leggings, and stockings are each different. - Waxing hurts and leaves red skin for a while afterwards while shaving leaves stubble - Most canât run in heels unless they have been VERY worn - Insecurity in appearance doesnât mean âbuy me a drinkâ - EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT TASTES IN EVERYTHING
-Having large breasts sucks. It sucks beyond belief. Â If a garment happens to fit your large chest, odds are it wonât fit the rest of you. Underboob sweat is real and terrible. Bending over for extended periods of time will tweak your back out. Running can be painful due to boob turbulence. Bras are hella expensive. Big breasts are not fun.
Putting a tampon in isnt a quick bend-poke-done kinda deal. It involves cubicle yoga, messy hands, numerous curse words as you realise it isnt in correctly and have to take it out and start again with a new one.
Yes to all of this. Â But also:
If her hair is in an updo, one does not simply remove a hairpin to send her hair cascading down her back. Â No. Â If her hair is an updo, it will take at least an hour and an extra set of hands to remove the 137 bobby pins that are holding her hair in place. Â Furthermore, thereâs probably a canâs worth of hairspray in there, intended to withstand category 2 hurricane winds. Â Thereâs no cascading happening here - the best you can hope for is a misshapen nest of hair to clump and poof unattractively in the back while it still remains flat against her scalp.
This is one of the funniest posts Iâve seen in a while (especially if you read all the comments), but also really depressing because at 42 I still judge myself as having failed for not matching up to all these mythical stereotypes despite knowing theyâre impossible
^^^This though
The odds of a woman having smoothly shaved legs and armpits are directly proportional to the amount of skin her clothing bares and/or the amount of fucks she gives at that particular moment.
GLASSES ARE NOT COSMETIC. Â If we whip them off, we do not become gorgeous fashion models. Â We become squinty.
-most women wear bras. Yes, even when they are trying to dress sexy. Because bras make boobs look perkier and rounder, which is something men apparently find sexy, so being a seductress or femme fatale is not an automatic reason for a female character to not be wearing a bra.
-a good bra will hide headlights, or at the very least drastically reduce their noticeability. A women with enough pointy nipple issues will opt for a padded or molded bra to hide them.
-womenâs nipples do not automatically become hard pyramids visible through any and all layers of clothing the second they become even slightly aroused. They are not the female equivalent of boners. And even if their nipples do get hard, the bras they are almost certainly wearing (because even a goddamn succubus with big, honkinâ knockers for seducing men is gonna have those painful puppies in some kind of boob sling) should keep those pointy nipples from being visible to every other character in the scene, JIM BUTCHER. YES, EVEN LARA RAITH WOULD WEAR A BRA ONCE IN A GODDAMN WHILE.
if youâre being tied up and tortured in a freezing underground dungeon, then you probably have more important things to pay attention to than how hard somebodyâs nipples are, jim butcher
- Wearing a bra that doesnât fit HURTS. Itâs not sexy to wear a bra thatâs âtwo sizes too smallâ, itâd make your clothes hang oddly and youâd have a weird, uncomfortable âquad-boobâ effect and your back would hurt, BEN AARONOVITCH.
Also, after removing a too small bra, thereâs gonne be angry red lines on the boobs and ribs and the lady is not going to want them to be touched by anyone for a good long while
-Not all women wear heels. Those things hurt and are hard to balance in. They can also mess up your feet and back pretty bad.
-Lips arenât just naturally red âas if sheâd been drinking wine but they were just like that without makeup cause sheâs so perfect,â my dear little Kvothe from âName of the Windâ. Also, girls do not naturally smell like fruit or flowers, itâs either perfume or something sheâd been eating recently.
Iâve been appreciating this post but now itâs back very specifically calling out my problematic faves and I donât think those male authors realize how much it totally takes me out of the story for a moment when they commit these errors. It does nothing useful for the plot and is annoying for half of the audience
Is it weird that Iâm female and wasnât aware of a solid third of these?
I mean, all writes take note. I basically live in man land when it comes to protagonists so I donât know half these things despite being a woman
(Most) Women do not look at themselves in the mirror and compare their breasts to fruit. Any sort of fruit. Especially melons. Please save us from the melons.
Also we are not aware of our breasts at all times. I do not walk down a flight of stairs and think âoh golly my breasts are bouncing so much right nowâ. They are as much as natural part of our bodies as arms. Do you constantly think about how your arms are moving? Sure you may be aware of them, but paying full attention? Doubtful.
Also: women working out are almost never sexy. Theyâre not glowing or glistening or (kill me) *sparkling*. They are red and sweaty and gross just like all the dudebros doing their time with the dumbbells. Stop ogling fictional women at the gym, TOM WOLFE.
I love this post.
I never understood why men feel the need to address all this telltale âfeminineâ awareness when writing women. Like once in grad school one of my male colleagues wrote from a female characterâs POV and was like sure to notice how her feet felt in high heels and all the womenâs lifestyle magazines on the coffee table and also that like, her breasts were âheavyâ or some shit. I write male characters all the time. Not once have I ever stopped to make sure they notice the weight of their own balls or been hyper aware of their chest hair or some bullshit like that. ????? why????????
Love this. Iâve been cackling to myself for good 20 mins reading all the comments as well but the last reblog had me dying like can you imagine!!
âChad was late. He had an important meeting to get to and was mad at himself for oversleeping.
He quickly washed and brushed his teeth and then ran downstairs, his balls bouncing playfully in his pants.
Do I have time to make a coffee? he thought. He decided he did so went into the kitchen and switched the kettle on. As he was waiting, he noticed his thick, curly chest hair was poking through the button gaps of his shirt. He giggled to himself and tucked his manly fuzz back in, hoping it wouldnât happen during the meeting.â
Men, do you see how jarring and stupid this is!?
I am screaming lmao also this reminds me of @rosewater1997
