Milla Jovovich As Joan Of Arc In The Messenger

I began making this for #InternationalWomensDay / #HerStoryOurStory but I celebrate women every day! I LOVE 💗 WOMEN!!!!!!!

unshaved female legs are a sign of freedom

Enough of the thin, conventionally attractive sex goddesses. Enough. Stop reducing multifaceted goddesses to sex alone. Stop reducing them to beauty. To homemaking. To some appeal to the pathetic, predatory tastes of men.

I want to see sex goddesses who are powerful and brawny, strong of arm and broad of shoulder. I want to see goddesses of beauty who are round like the moon, goddesses of beauty with short hair and a square jaw and scars. If she is a goddess of war, why do you depict her as frail and thin, unable to defend herself? She may have power beyond the physical, but why do you assume she would stoop so low as to allow herself to wither away to the skeletal thinness men find so attractive? (Hint: it's only attractive to them because it makes her helpless, easier to control.) Why do you dress her in lace and lingerie? If she is a goddess of beauty, of desire, she has no need to strip herself of her clothing to draw the eye. Put clothes on her, treat her with respect, don't degrade her to some sex object for the male gaze. Why put her in heels? Why cake her glorious countenance in filthy makeup? She has no need of such contraptions, and neither do you.

I want to see goddesses that do not appeal to the eyes of men, goddesses who do not bow to their whims and desires, goddesses who are strong like an oak and tall and powerful, goddesses who are dressed practically.

If you choose only to depict these goddesses as weak and delicate things, you choose to invite her wrath, for you are denigrating her.

It’s been hard for me to be in my body lately. It keeps feeling like I don’t know what I’m capable of, which makes me feel strange and alien and displaced.

Today my love told me to do some flexing, and she took these photos. She told me that she wanted me to see myself the way she sees me. I’ve never felt so loved and cared for and understood in my whole life.

No porque no exprese la feminidad (hegemónica) significa que soy menos mujer.

Girls with muscles is so attractive and anyone who says less don’t know shit

An Ode to the flesh that houses me!

My mom sent me photos of my great-great grandmother. I asked “wasn’t this when women were only allowed to wear dresses?” And my mom said “she did whatever she wanted to do. She was wild”

This is what the Earth looks like from the surface of our red neighbour, Mars!

Happy Earth day everyone 🌎🌍🌏 Hope you’re all staying safe!!
