Feminerdity

yeah wtf? #metoo is for men as well. Men are also victims, men have been a vocal part of this movement too.

Terry Crews did not tell his story to be disrespected and erased like this.

having a personal sense of style is gay culture and the reason why gay men are seen as fashionable and lesbians as tacky is because the standards are so low for men and so high for women send post

and FURTHERMORE the standards set for women are centered around how appealing they are to men and not actually about style at all a lot of the time. Lesbian style doesn’t care what men find attractive and is therefore considered “wrong”

I wonder when exactly it was that Star Trek stopped being perceived as light, fluffy, not-really-legitimate sci fi that ~housewives~ liked and started being seen as serious nerd business that girls had to keep their gross cooties off. 

Also when did the Beatles start to be remembered as rock legends rather than a silly boy band teenaged girls liked?

When men decided they liked them.

this is seriously exactly how it happened. Women were actually the first rock and roll ‘critics’ because they would write in to women’s papers and magazines to share and discuss what their kids were listening to when men still thought it was trashy teeny bopper music. once it became a lucrative, mainstream genre men shoved women out of the space. Men also tend to be gatekeepers once they move into formerly female spaces - early trek fandom was incredibly open and inclusive; women would set up fan get togethers in their own houses to discuss the show or invite the actors to visit before conventions became a thing, and then were huge in organizing the first conventions - but now the stereotype of a trekkie is a nerdy white dude who scoffs derisively at casual fans and newbies with his encyclopedic and pedantic knowledge of trek

I propose we call this “mentrification”

YES

MENTRIFICATION that’s genius

only the true king could remove the sword from the stone…. no one else could…… they didn’t have…. arthurization

I’m laughing because this sums up the fandom reaction almost perfectly.

*Deadbeat dad voice* Can you believe I’m forced to financially support the child I helped put on this earth? Woe is me.

*Deadbeat Dad voice when the child grows up* Can you believe this child wants nothing to do with me after I helped putting them on this earth? How ungrateful!

*Deadbeat dad voice* Can you believe the mother of my child who lives with, take cares of, and spends 99.5% of the time with my child has the gall… THE AUDACITY to demand I help pay for the upbringing of my child. I CANNOT believe every month I have to give her money to buy food, medicine, and clothing for the wellbeing of my child. I rarely see my child, but still….. THE AUDACITY. #HateGoldDiggers

*Deadbeat Dad voice* Can you believe the child I blatantly wanted absolutely nothing to do with all of their life, won’t accept my bare minimum apologies about abandoning them ?!!  Of course their mother turned them against me !!!

*deadbeat dad voice* I can’t believe my kids are angry at me for not raising them but I take care of my girlfriend’s child!
