You can be talking to someone and she'll be like, "Oh I made a silly mistake. Women don't deserve voting rights teehee." And you'll be like, "What." And she'll be like, "Oh I'm sorry! That must sound so bad out of context. No it's this Tiktok meme where, if you're a girl and you do something dumb, you say 'Women don't deserve voting rights teehee.'"

And you'll be like, "That sounds bad." And she'll be like, "No no. It's totally not that bad. It's just a meme. Men say it too. Like if a man does something silly he'll be like, 'I am like those women who do not deserve to vote.'" And you'll be like, "Does that make it better?" And she'll be like, "Well there was one guy who tried to make 'Men shouldn't vote' a popular meme. But it never caught on and also he got yelled at a lot."

And then you drop it there because like, you're harshing the vibe.

God this makes me think of this screenshot:

"it minimizes you as a person" really wraps up my entire discomfort with the whole "oh but i'm just a girl" thing when used in most situations.

Can't even boycott the last of us, can't even boycott captain america, SOME OF YOU CAN'T EVEN QUIT HARRY POTTER. And then you refuse to read some classic from a guy who's not even around to do any harm because "all the classics were written by white heterosexual men" WHICH IS NOT EVEN TRUE

some of you couldn’t even boycott the minecraft movie

[ID: A meme of a comic with someone pointing at a panda saying “What’s the point of this animal?

The panda roars back, “What’s the point of you?!?

Below the frame of the comic, the person is dead. Text above them says “By ascribing inherent purpose or worth to animals, we deprive ourselves the ability to appreciate the beauty of the natural world for what it is. Organisms don't exist for a reason, they simply adapt to fill ecological niches in order to survive. There is no such thing as good or bad, better or worse, more evolved or less evolved in nature. YOU, SIR, ARE ALSO A POINTLESS ANIMAL.” /End ID.]

(content warning for misgendering and general early nineties transphobia. they all hold their own beautifully despite this)

my dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.
