“why can’t female heroes kick arse in heels” because it’s not practical and will literally snap your damn ankle you can scream weaponised femininity all you want but first off, you need to admit that they’re not an almighty symbol of empowerment, and secondly that if you do a job with a lot of physical activity in heels you’re risking your own safety. all these women fighting in heels on tv are going to end up seriously injuring themselves. 

weaponised femininity is a concept made up in an attempt to get us to embrace the industries created to hold us back/profit from our insecurities so that we can continue to fit into the male expectation of what a woman should be and not question why we are forced to spend thousands on our appearance every year

Men take “let’s see feminine women being badass” to mean “let’s see women impractically focused on their appearance in combat situations.“

That’s why I loved Black Panther even more Nakia took off her heels and used them as weapons and was running and driving around barefoot in that one scene

The only way I wanna see a women fight with heels is if she takes them off and fights with them a la Mulan/Nakia style.

They photoshopped the heels onto wonder woman. Not even Gal Gadot could fight in them, but it was so important to The Look™ that they frame by frame added them. Gal wore flats to the red carpet in protest.

My high school had a dress code that required skirts and pantyhose/tights for girls. Our male gym teacher insisted ten minutes was more than enough time to change after gym class. We asked him if he’d ever tried to put on pantyhose over sweaty/damp legs. He tried it. Took 45 minutes. Two things changed: all-male school board changed the dress code for girls to include dress pants, and our gym change time increased to 20 minutes. Men literally have no frame of reference for their privilege and misogyny and need to be schooled.

I like hearing “I want you to come” instead of “you can come if you want”

my nasty ass was confused bc i thought this was about busting a nut

It has recently come to my attention that I am in fact…needy.

My favorite part of Captain Marvel was the fact that Carol keeps getting told to control her emotions throughout the movie and yet she continues to be just as emotional as she damn well pleases…AND it turns out to be the key to unlocking her power in the end. because as women aren’t we always being told to “tone it down”, to sit down and shut up, that stoicism=strength and emotions=weakness? So to turn around and give us a powerful female character who cries and rages and laughs, and to have that emotional, human side of her be her strength… this is the female characterization we need.

^literally the most privileged and bougie caption I’ve ever read

I live close to Paris so I just jumped on a bus, it didn’t cost me more than 20€, plus when you know the city you can basically find millions of things to do for free. Paris old only bougie for tourists.

Breaking news: People live in France.

Doesn’t even have to be France lol - I once went to London with an ex-bf (ew I know, hahaha) for a few weeks, and since the trip overlapped with his birthday I surprised him with a trip to Paris for a weekend. We took a bus and a ferry overnight; altogether it cost 8 euros apiece. Lol.

pleeeeeaaaaase don’t make fun of people for being overenthusiastic about their interests. if you see someone getting really excited about something and you think it’s a good idea to ruin their fun (and don’t think people don’t notice your eye rolls and side glances) you’re an asshole

she literally tried to deal drugs to the cops I just.. fucken.. WHAT 

He didn’t arrest her he warned her it was illegal….. Warned !!!!!!! Wtfffffffffffffffffff

Don’t tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it’s because he has a crush on her. Don’t teach her that abuse is a sign of love.

*slow clap for excellent parenting*

This is the parent I want to be omg

Reblogging for awesome dads and kickass nuns.

Jesus said if guys hands were causing them sin-problems, they should cut them off.  Face-punching seems like a good pre-amputation steps, to prevent it getting that far.

those seem like Our kind of nuns.

remember being little and thinking dandelions were fun or a pretty color or something and every adult in an 80 mile radius wouldn’t let you say that without screaming ITS A WEED

Why ARE they considered a weed? They’re a good flower? Who decided they were bad? =(

lawn culture made the decision to consider dandelions weeds

Destroying lawn culture is the hill I will die on
