“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.

The only ‘weaponized femininity’ I will accept is the taking off of high heels to wreak complete and utter havoc with them. Fuck’s sake.

Maggie Q did 90% of all her stunts, so yeah, she definitely had a say in ditching the heels. She used to LOVE telling them “No” all the time with the heels and ridiculous outfits.

When are we going to stop pretending girls don’t have hair on their boobs, between their boobs, around their nips, on their ass, on their upper lip, between their brows, on their cheeks, etc?

On their belly, on their toes, on their back, literally everywhere men grow hair

humans grow hair everywhere except on the palms of their hands and soles of their feet. this hair can rank from light blond and soft to dark and wiry, regardless of sex or gender of the person. shaving all of it is a mess and plucking it hurts like hell. humans are just animals with less thick fur. you wouldn’t shame a female animal for having as much fur as a male one, so stop doing that with humans.

reminder to my fellow trans girls freaking out about having hair there

ho paura di rimanere così, triste, con pochi amici, e niente da raccontare

Pensavo di aver già conosciuto la solitudine quando ero piccola, quando ogni giorno non avevo nessuno con cui parlare, ma mi andava bene così. Pensavo che sarà mai, se capiterà di nuovo posso sempre tornare al mio stato primario delle cose, a me nella mia camera che occupo la mente per non pensare a niente. Nessuno mi ha mai detto che una volta conosciuto l'affetto vero poi tornare soli fa così tanto male

I have a baby face and a bitch face all in one

shout out to my friends who still love me even though I take 3-4 business days to respond to a text

Now I look back and laugh at what I thought I wanted
