i can’t wait until i’m financially stable and have healthy coping strategies and live with someone that i love and care about and have lots of plants in our place and soft coloured walls
“support the troops” has become a really bizarre unquestioned thing in america where you can’t say ANYTHING about the military whether it be pointing out that they have no business in half the countries they’re stationed in to the fact that this particular breed of patriotism is used to sell everything from war to professional football
Like I can get it if it’s “respect the individuals who risk their lives for people in our country” (even if misguided/misinformed by nationalistic propaganda, cuz they’re trying to do something good, in their mind, most of the time).
But it’s not about that really. They use “support our troops” to really mean “support the US military as an institution” but defend the saying/the army as if it’s just about individuals.
Hypernationalism is pretty much never a good thing. Ever.
men need to learn that they are programmed to ignore women, and interrupt women ,and speak over women, and undermine and under appreciate them and then they need to spend a lot of time consciously trying to stop
All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
I want us to get to a point where girls with uneven proportions or very tall heavyset girls or girls who are short and chubby or girls who are skinny but not “model thin” or any girl who isn’t our societies projected ideal don’t have to go through rigorous spiritual journeys to accept and love their bodies how they are formed and just grow up seeing themselves represented in media and perceiving themselves as beautiful instead of spending so much time unlearning what our society has told us to think about our bodies

Of all the nerd sex symbol archetypes, “perpetually scowling girl whose only visible emotion is being vaguely annoyed at everything” perplexes me the most. Since when is grumpiness sexy?
Nothing says sexy like the person you’re interested in rolling their eyes at all of your advances!
Huh.
You’re proposing that the Grumpy Girl archetype is a geek sex icon because it provides a frame for socially maladjusted nerdboys to reinterpret women’s hostility and disinterest as an expression of affection?
