the conservative understanding of sex and gender is that the sex determines your role in society, personality, preferences etc. so girl = likes pink
the queer understanding of sex and gender is that your personality and preferences determine what gender you are. so likes pink = girl
the radical understanding of sex and gender is that gender is made up and forced upon you from birth based on sex, but tells nothing of who you are. so likes pink = human
Normal people: On average women are smaller and physically weaker than men. This means nothing beyond that, its just how the human species evolved like most other mammalian and ape species. Physical size and strength aren’t the only important things in life, or the only scale to compare the sexes. Women perform higher on other scales, such as flexibility, multitasking, academics, pain tolerance, endurance, length of life. Nature is innocent and objective, concepts such as “superior” and “inferior” are humanistic concepts that only we apply/only exist in the human mind and is a very simplistic, reductive conclusion to make, its black and white thinking.
Sexists: On average women are smaller and physically weaker than men. This means women are inferior beings to men.
Genderists: On average women are smaller and physically weaker than men. This means women are inferior beings to men. So we must deny that women are smaller at any cost.
Getting slowly back into asoiaf fandom, and remembering how annoying and ignorant Targaryen haters are 🙈 Apparently they even got worse.
Will never see eye-to-eye with anyone less than the people who treat their pets like wandering ronin instead of valued family members. Like oh there goes Bronson our uncollared, chipless chocolate lab out of the permanently open back door again. If he comes home in three days after subsisting on garbage we’ll be mildly thrilled to see him again but if he succumbs to his natural predator, the 2006 Toyota Camry, that’s just the circle of life
A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE
George R.R. Martin to Al Jazeera: the two outlying ones, the things that are going on north of the Wall and Daenerys Targaryen on the other continent with her dragons are of course the Ice and Fire of the title A Song of Ice and Fire.
George R. R. Martin to Adriaâs News: I meanâŚÂ Fire is love, fire is passion, fire is sexual ardor and all of these things. Ice is betrayal, ice is revenge, ice is⌠you know, that kind of cold inhumanity and all that stuff is being played out in the books.
âNo one ever looked for a girl. [âŚ] The language misled us all for a thousand years. Daenerys is the one, born amidst salt and smoke. The dragons prove it.â (AFFC, Samwell IV)
âShe [Daenerys] isAzor Ahai returned [aka the Warrior of Light, the Son of Fire, the one who shall âwake dragons out of stoneâ] ⌠and her triumph over darkness will bring a summer that will never end ⌠death itself will bend its knee, and all those who die fighting in her cause shall be reborn âŚâ (ADWD, Tyrion VI)
trends keep women in a continuous humiliated state and not exactly in the way you might think. do current extreme beauty rituals look humiliating and degrading from an outside point of view? yes, but for the people that wear them at the moment, they donât. however, what iâm noticing is a pattern of women making self-deprecating comments about their past choices in fashion and makeup techniques. they look at old photos of themselves and instead of feeling love and nostalgia for their younger self, they feel embarrassment. âoh wow i looked like a clown with the 2016 brows and contour, i looked like an idiot dressing like an egirl at the start of the pandemic, i looked weird with my 2000s overplucked browsâ. men donât have that, they might look back at a time when they had a questionable haircut or a time they gained some weight but thatâs about it. women, though, are always in a humiliated and embarrassed state. we are conditioned to not only hate our present selves but to constantly hate our past selves as well.
iâve seen this term âeyebrow blindnessâ used to refer to how when women look back on pictures of them from c. 2016 they think their eyebrows look ridiculous but at the time they thought they looked fine.
and i just want to scream itâs not âblindness!â you were following the trends that existed at the time! if you continue to follow beauty trends, youâre always gonna look back in 5 or 10 years and think âgod how did i go around looking like that.â thatâs because makeup doesnât actually look âgood,â we just get used to seeing other women wear certain styles of makeup
