I dont know anything about actresses tho, i never had any crush on celebrities like they look so,,,, far away, you see? and so perfect, and im too busy with actual women hahaha

BOOKS. books are my WHOLE life and the single thing that kept me together for years omg this is too hard

I just realized that the specific reason the 80s and 90s anti-racism preaching in the media failed is because it was entirely focused on emotions and bullying and self esteem, and now everyone thinks the only thing that racism affects is people’s feelings.

but in reality, personal emotions about one’s self are the FINAL, smallest, most individual, personal step in what racism does. it ALSO does so much astronomically more than that, and anyone who’s experienced it knows that on some level. it’s institutional; it’s woven inextricably into the fabric of not only our country, but our global system, too. and people are utterly blind to that.

popular culture still suggests that racism is wrong JUST because saying racist stuff hurts people’s feelings, and not because it’s a cultural attitude that informs every level of how our society operates; there is little awareness that racism is about ACTIONS, actions with no conscious intent behind them, not beliefs, which are intangible.

and now that the alt-right has popularized the idea that feelings are objectively stupid, there’s no longer ANY reason not to say racist things. because who cares about hurting other people’s FEELINGS? that’s the very last, smallest, most individual, personal thing you can possibly care about! 🙄

that’s why people are convinced nowadays that a public figure with wide-reaching influence can say racist things unapologetically without “being” racist. because to them, “being racist” isn’t the same as ACTING RACIST. It’s some internal belief—some character flaw—that only crazy people have, and if you’re ironic enough about it, there’s suddenly no harm in being openly racist for laughs.

when the truth is, ACTIONS MEAN MORE THAN BELIEFS. virulent racists are created and enabled by an almost unfathomably massive system of laws and conventions and tradition and lies that people tell themselves and each other. on a global scale.

people think racism is a thing people believe but somehow NOT a thing people DO.

if you think men should be admired for crying, showing affection, wearing make up or fulfilling the BARE MINIMUM of being a proper s.o dont look at me

gonna add some shit before someone accuses me of hating gays and gnc men for the 2nd point lol

first of all its not gnc bc its such a western perspective from which youre looking at it. in my (west/southeast asian) family the men DO cry and they DO show affection towards each other like hugging and kissing on the cheeks is entirely common and accepted behavior and guess what? they still hate women. they still treat their wives and daughters like shit and show just as much ‘toxic masculinity’ as every other man

and honestly even if wearing make up is gnc why should we celebrate men for that? women get called fake, superficial and dumb for putting so much effort into their appearance (remember the “take her swimming on the first date” meme) but when a man does it it’s suddenly admirable? literally no one is stopping men from crying anymore or judging them for it (ive witnessed a fair share of grown adult men crying btw) but women are still seen as overreacting hysterical bitches when they show any negative emotion? i see.

tldr; women getting thrown under the bus to uplift men when both are doing the same thing is nothing new, its just repackaged misogyny under the guise of being ~open-minded~
