hello again! i am back but please follow my backup @jesus-was-a-woman
Thank you for saying this @scumbelina
i have to disagree because the examples chosen for the bottom right corner definitely look childlike, especially the two top ones seem to appear like that on purpose (hair, angle etc). i dont know why you are acting blind to the patterns behind the pictures that were chosen here to exemplify feminine faces; nobody is making fun of the women (or i would guess teenage girls actually) but of the choices of the creator of what they consider to be feminine.
consider also that femininity is often equated to beauty, and that many of our beauty ideals (clear skin, no cellulite, no fat, no body hair, big eyes, tiny nose, etc) are reminiscent of prepubescent girls. which is definitely reflected here even though the creator obviously only chose young women and models to show that even „masculine“ looking women can be pretty.
Girl do not "no true scotsman" me, "oh the only people making fun of these women must be teenage girls" as if people in this community won't take any opportunity to make fun of the appearances of other women, and act like they're better because they don't comply with feminized standards.
what 😭 i said that the women in the photos might be teenage girls. and nobody made fun of their appearances just the obvious pattern the creator showed here
Oh my bad! Sorry for the misunderstanding I must have read it wrong!
all good then!

to the simone de beauvoir obsessed anon, im gonna be blocking u because ur clearly committed to misconstruing me & im not interested in a back & forth with someone who refuses to actually listen to what is being said. & u absolutely ARE arguing for the sake of arguing
ok im starting to understand why some people block without ever having interacted with you because sometimes someone reblogs your post and suddenly your notes are full with annoying and deranged people and you didnt do anything wrong but im sorry your mutuals/followers suck
It's nothing about 'superiority', it's a women only chess match, one of the only ones. They're banned for being men. That's it
if we say "males are not allowed in women's spaces, including female chess tournaments" and you hear "men are obviously intellectually superior to women", i think all the misogyny is coming from you, actually
literally!! people seeing this headline immediately draw the comparison with physical sports like idk rugby (where the interests were weighed and the organisation ultimately landed on safety being the most important) when a more apt comparison here would be, like, women’s only programming competitions or e-sport initiatives. female spaces can exist for reasons other than biological advantage, who knew?
i’m really amused at all the threats men make to women like “you’d be dead without men” or “you’’d have nothing without men” because they’re so fucking dumb, without men who would kill me? who would deny me access to food and resources? who would deny me jobs and positions and freedom of movement? who would be this imaginary threat that would get me if men weren’t around? do men think they’re presenting themselves in good light if they’re pretending there’s something much worse out there that would kill us all if they weren’t, you know, around, killing us?
let me phrase it the other way tho, if there was no men around after the moment i was concieved, I wouldn’t have been beaten up as a child, I wouldn’t have been raped by the age of 7, I wouldn’t have been harassed in public dozens of times, I wouldn’t have to be scared of going outside, I wouldn’t have to worry about what the fuck is government going to do now because government would be filled with women who would actually represent my interests, I wouldn’t have been going thru severe domestic abuse because nuclear family wouldn’t have even been a thing and I’d be born into a healthier and safer community.
If there was no men around my mother and grandma wouldn’t have been telling me terrifying stories of their fathers and husbands beating them and forcing them to do things against their will, if there was no men around I wouldn’t have been told that everything about my appearance and personality was wrong because men wont like it, I wouldn’t have been discriminated during entire education and job search, I wouldn’t have to spend my entire life without having a female only community, without feeling like I belong, I wouldn’t have to fret for survival, I wouldn’t have to be on constant alert for harassment and assault. I wouldn’t have to see thousands of women violated and abused in various ways on screen, women being objectified, ignored, put down, humiliated, ridiculed and hated wouldn’t be a normalized part of my life experience.
They’re trying to convince us that we need them but we don’t. We need each other. It’s actually terrifying for them how much we don’t need them, that’s why all the aggressive threats and insisting they’re vital to our survival, they’re not, they’re only vital to our imprisonment. We’re vital to their survival, but it doesn’t go other way around. They can’t survive without us. We thrive without them.
