I Always Think About That Study Where They Had Adults Hold A Baby, And When They Were Told The Baby Was

It's so upsetting to see post after post about girls and women being unhappy with their appearances, mostly after facing judgement.

I'd like to remind you that your physical beauty, your appearance, is the least interesting, most boring thing about you.

How is your appearance going to help you get good grades? It won't, your knowledge will.

How is your appearance going to save the life of the victim of drowning? It won't, your knowledge will.

How is your appearance going to keep the conversation going? It won't. Your knowledge, interests, and personality will.

Saying you don't like yourself because your ugly is like saying you hate your birthday present because it got wrapped in ugly wrapping paper. It's on the inside that counts, that actually matters.

It's more than okay to be "ugly" or what society deems unattractive. Beauty is subjective anyway. You'll never win if you tried.

This really makes one think... Any articles, essays or book suggestions on this subject are welcome please.

tumblr leftists being surprised to see middle aged white women with signs or hats saying "deny defend depose" really reinforces for me that tumblr leftists don't actually talk to people lmao. like I did a lot of canvassing as a teenager and you know who the best most reliable political organizers are? middle aged women. you know who's bloodthirsty after watching rachel maddow every night and sharing HuffPo articles on facebook? middle aged women. maybe sheryl from iowa who's been voting religiously for democrats for the past thirty years IS more hardcore than you, tumblr user who did a write-in "protest vote." what are you going to do about that.

Misogyny on the Harry Potter sub is crazy. Everyone bending over backwards to villainize Hermione while defending Ron, James, Snape, Sirius, Draco, and every other dickhead in the series, ten bajillion “Umbridge is worse than Voldemort” posts and comments…this is why I stay away from fandoms.

And then a braindead post about Hermione being an insufferable, close-minded know it all today…yeah, I think you tend to seem like a “bossy know it all” when you’re the most intelligent, capable witch of your age and no one listens to you. Also calling her sadistic and cruel when she:

1: Manages to shut up a journalist whose entire career centered around discrediting, bullying, and lying about a teenage boy, half-humans who never harmed anyone, and an elderly man. Rita Skeeta stalked children for tabloid stories, ruined careers, and spread disinformation that massively delayed any widespread action against fucking wizard hitler.

2: Jinxes another student who sold out dozens of her peers, including her friends, to Dolores Umbridge, an actual sadistic freak who routinely tortures children. It’s fucking acne, Marietta will get over it.

3: Is jealous because the boy she likes is going out with someone else and being an insensitive asshole to her…? I think pretty much any teenager would conjure birds to peck at their longtime friend turned crush in this situation. It’s not like she fucking castrated him Jesus Christ 😭

And then people saying she’s unempathetic and mean spirited…the girl who wanted to help everyone, to her own detriment…

Hermione, they’ll never make me hate you.

coquette tumblr girls love to compare themswlves to prey animals. uhm no. deer will literally shred you with their kicking hooves and they are beautiful and strong. you are something else that rolls over and dies.

every woman thinks she's evil and irredeemable for making a few avoidable mistakes while every man goes about his day thinking he's normal after having emotionally tortured at least 5 different women

You want engagement so bad.

Sex is why women are opressed

Gender is how

“women used to marry young and have a lot of children” VS “men used to marry women when they were still little girls and force them to be pregnant and give birth their whole life”.

“in the past women didn’t get education” VS “in the past, men stopped women from getting education and excluded them from all cultural spheres”.

“muslim women must wear hijab” VS “muslim men force muslim women wear hijab”.

“in this country, abortion is illegal” VS “men in this country made women getting abortion illegal”.

women’s oppression doesn’t happen by itself. women’s oppression isn’t passive. there is an oppressor class that actively chooses to oppress women, and the oppressor class is MEN.
