Someday I'll go outside

(some guy on the internet voice) it's so unrealistic and forced when women win fights against men in stories. of course, when a young boy defeats a huge man I'm cheering and screaming because it is so badass, and when a frail old man defeats a cocky young warrior I feel nothing but satisfaction. I love these power fantasies about easily dispatching people who underestimate you, a thing I desire despite the fact that I will likely never have the skill to achieve it in real life, but I'm pretty sure women don't have that same desire, and even if they do, they shouldn't get to see it in media. because it's so unrealistic, you see. I mean I'm smart enough to know I can't take down a big man in a fight but the women, you know, they'll get ideas. I could probably do it if I trained hard enough, but the women??? for some reason I can't see it happening, and who can say why that is.

i hate that when you try and look up shit for writing purposes it starts linking suicide hotlines and addiction advice articles like bro i just wanna know the information im not killing myself i promise. now tell me what i wanna know

crying my eyes out watching a league of their own i love women

I'm rewatching utena and I noticed one thing in episode 9. While Utena and Saionji are arguing towards the beginning of the episode, Saionji saying that next time they duel he will beat her and win Anthy back, Chu-chu is seen fighting with a frog. Now, Chu-chu is supposed to be a monkey I believe, though due to his size one could argue he looks a tiny bit like a mouse. And this is important because of an epic that was written, supposedly, as a parody of the Iliad during the classical period. This parody, the Batrachomyomachia, is the tale of a one-day war between mice and frogs, and the term is used nowadays to refer to "a useless, trivial fight". And what's more trivial, useless, hopeless, than fighting for the Rose Bride? What fight is more devoid of consequence and meaning, than one that exists within a cycle of abuse in which everyone, whether loser or winner, is harmed?

Been checking the mpgis tag and I'm glad we can all agree that Mackenzie and Shay were lesbians
