patriarchy punishes women for being sexual beings who actively want sex and enjoy it themselves and are open about that, but it also punishes women who don’t make themselves sexually available at all times to whichever men their specific culture or belief system views them as the property of. that doesn’t feel like rocket science to me. it’s also why presenting yourself as a sexual object to men and putting a substantial amount of effort and energy into fuckability to men is not fighting patriarchy but feeding right into its hands

Back when i worked i spent 8 hours packaging chicken skewers and the first day i was so exhausted that i couldn't stop shaking and whenever i closed my eyes to sleep i kept seeing chicken skewers and i couldn't get the smell out of my clothes so i did my best to picture images of The Beatles instesd but they kept fading & turned into chicken skewers like in some horrible nightmare and i was miserable

throwback to when I worked in catering and would have nightmares about peeling boiled eggs for eternity
