My characters shall have, after a little trouble, all that they desire.
I still haven’t got to the bottom of why she has a monkey dæmon.
many have said it before me and probably better than me but i just feel the need to shout into the void:
my problem with liberal feminism is that it tries to solve the branches of the problem instead of addressing the root of the problem.
problem: gender is constrictive and enforces oppressive societal roles
libfem solution: make more genders so that people feel more comfortable when gendered stereotypes don’t fit them
radfem solution: understand that gender doesn’t define who you are and how you can express yourself /and/ eliminate the concept of gender completely (keeping in mind the importance of biological sex because women and men are medically different and need different treatment or present different symptoms for the same conditions, etc.)
problem: sex industry is harmful to society and more importantly it’s abusive to women in the industry
libfem solution: “ethical” porn
radfem solution: get rid of porn and ban prostitution NOT to criminalize workers but to protect them (and put in place other safety nets so that they can still make money and live) /and/ understand the social harm that comes from filming and making money of off rape. (we can all agree that consent through coercion is not consent, right? begging or guilting someone into saying yes is not consent so why is ‘paying’ (bribing) someone with money any different?)
problem: beauty standards are damaging and make us insecure
libfem solution: expand beauty standards to be more inclusive
radfem solution: understand that beauty isn’t a measure of your value /and/ accept that physical appearrance doesn’t matter. no matter how inclusive beauty ideals are there will always be someone that doesn’t meet the criteria (i’m not trying to downplay insecurity, it hurts believe me i know. but if you consistently strive to be 'beautiful’ there will always be something to nitpick and find wrong with yourself. 'you don’t need to be beautiful’ is my new mantra to try and fight that)
all of this is an oversimplification of a lot of difficult and complicated issues but i hope if you’re reading this you consider a radfem’s perspective. also i do NOT speak for everyone lol. feel free to discuss politely in the notes
- Britney for making fun of her when she had her breakdown
- Monica Lewinski for judging her when she was a 22year old temp sexually assaulted by the most powerful man in the world
- Ke$ha for ever thinking she was trashy when all she wanted to do was make party music
- Kristen Stewart for ever thinking she was dumb when she’s actually one of the coolest people ever
- Megan Fox for ever thinking she was just a slut when actually she was an actress being harassed by her employer.
- Hating all the women who made a career out of having a hot body. Being is shape is hard, beauty is a weapon and auto promotion is hard work.
- All the Mary-Sues, who exist because young girls everywhere want to be part of a story they love so much
- All the female characters I ever snobbed because they got in the way of my ship.
- Hating the color pink during my teenage years, when it’s actually a lovely color and what I resented was society’s pressure to perform femininity.

Food is not here to entertain me. I have books, friends, nature, adventures and my own life to entertain me.
Food is not here to sooth me when I am sad. I have journals, friends, pets, prayer, hot tea, music and showers for that.
Food is not here to pick me up after a hard day. I have tomorrow, and the promise of a new day is enough for me.
Food is not here to celebrate my great days. I will share my joy with others. I will celebrate and appreciate what I have.
Food is not here to fill me to the brim. I do not need to feel full to be nourished. Food is here to satiate me.
Food is nourishment. It’s job is to give me energy to get through the day. It’s job is to give me nutrients, help me get stronger, and fuel my brain. It is not a replacement for real life. It is not about pleasing my brain, it is about pleasing my body. True change starts at the very foundation. Change your relationship.
This idea is highly inspired by Yehuda Devir’s perfect and clever piece and my own personal experiences with my husband. XD Them both are wearing traditional male and female fundoshi.
