existential female despair

lowkey being anti-pretentious abt Media is actually quite a bit pretentious. i find people who do this kind of holier than thou "i only consume popular media because I'm not a pretentious performative prick like you and unlike you i am in touch with The People" quite worse than being an uptight cinephile or whatever

Why have underwear & swimwear companies decided vaginas should be no wider than 1” maybe 1.5” if they’re feeling generous… stop trying to make narrow pussy happen it’s not going to happen

does anyone remember when people on here got really mad at the term porn addict because porn supposedly can’t be addictive and even if it was then it’s okay to be addicted to it because it feels good . what was up with that

unpopular opinion but i like it when tv shows have women in them

what annoys the shit out of me about this post is how many times i've had to read "and i like it when they're actually well-written" because i've never had to read about a male character being badly written. ever. even when they're inconsistent or made up of one-liners or only there to be shipped with another male character. but yeah sure your critical skills suddenly flare up when it comes to women tumblr user. sure

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

The one good feature of American individualism is its utility in countering tyrannical government and people use it instead to defend being pedophiles and sexual mutants

in a male-centric media, you can literally go the entire story seeing maybe one single background woman and it's never questioned, interrogated, or even just lightly pointed out that this society seems to consist entirely of men. in a 'female-centric' media, you are still expected to have an 'acceptable' amount of men -- they still often take up most of the background cast and likely the secondary cast of characters. if you were to make a cast that was compromised ONLY of women -- including secondary and background characters -- it suddenly becomes a purposeful choice that makes the audience distinctly uncomfortable.

the thing about words like 'bitch' and 'cunt' is that they are, by definition, slurs against women. just because they're used in the common vernacular casually and lightheartedly doesn't change that fact. if anything it's demonstrative of how little people care about everyday misogyny.

I’ve heard/read people “But in some places it’s just a fun word, not a real insult!” As if that makes it better
