I once was poison ivy

Well I don't like how it feels. I don't feel cleaner without body hair. I don't prefer not having body hair. But who will advocate for women like me, but me? For women who do like hair removal, they are advocated for every time they step out of the house and see 99% of the female population also conforming to that standard, or when they watch a movie and see all the shaved actresses, or view an advertisment, or open a magazine, or watch a music video, or scroll through social media, or walk down the streets without receiving insults and glares for having a completely normal bodily feature.

Be aware of your privilege and make sure to not use it against marginalised people…unless you’re a man who wants to identify as a woman or a heterosexual who wants to identify as homosexual. Then it’s totally fine to use your privilege to barge into the spaces of those less privileged than you, and to talk over them.

Oppression impacts the human psyche deeply, and sadly it makes many oppressed people hate the traits they’re oppressed for…but don’t you dare suggest we analyse why a woman might want to identify out of womanhood, or why a homosexual might want to identify as a straight trans person, or why a woman might hate her female features so much that she wants them surgically removed or medically altered. These are valid identities that can’t possibly be related to the desire to escape oppression.

Capitalism is bad and consumers are exploited…but anything sold with the label “gender affirming” is amazing actually, and the people selling it absolutely have your best interests at heart. Buy buy buy all the cosmetic surgery, medical treatments, and pride merch your little heart desires and never once stop to think about why it’s being sold to you!

Listen to the oppressed and prioritise and amplify their voices, and learn from them to confront your own privilege and biases even when doing so is uncomfortable…except for women and homosexuals. When they say things that make you uncomfortable, they’re just evil cis TERFs that must be silenced and condemned! When they talk about how you’re harming them, it’s you who is the victim.

for instance, bojack horseman, rick & morty, south park, the simpsons, big mouth, family guy, archer, etc.

men are portrayed as these deep, humorous, philosophical creatures, when this is literally just your average woman

countless women suffer from depression, loneliness, substance abuse, self-destruction, trauma, societal alienation - and absolutely find absurdist humour in it

yet we don’t even have one show centred on depicting the full depth of human experience in women - they are supporting characters to men at best in these shows

or when women exist, the humour and perception is still male gaze centric (i.e. disenchantment and big mouth)

meanwhile other shows with female protagonists, like tuca & bertie and inside job, are literally cancelled by netflix

reject male protagonists and pro-actively seek pro-female content in shows, movies, books, music, art, philosophy. everything
