Untitled: The Abortion Pastels (1998), Paula Rego

In 1998, Portuguese artist Paula Rego made the series titled Untitled: The Abortion Pastels in response to a proposed referendum that would legalize abortion in Portugal that was narrowly shot down. Each piece in the series depicts a woman undergoing an unsafe abortion.

Meant to be uncomfortable, the series went against the trends of depicted womanhood in art at the time and previously. Rego brought to light the things that were swept under the rug, exhibiting in capital of the country, Lisbon.

Her work is stated to be imperative to the changing of public opinion in favor of pro-choice legislation.

Sorry but this is so fucking funny. This is supernatural levels of funny. You take one of the shows that showed every other 2010s media how queerbaiting is done and revive it six years later just to kill one half of the ship while the other character isn’t even there, but still can’t resist adding a not so subtle reference to how ACTUALLY the fans were right and the ship was true (possibly, hilariously one sided) all along. Incredible. Truly one of the masters of the game

I always encourage women to stop wearing makeup. Or at least have a good relationship with it, being able to not depend on it forever.

After months without it I feel real. I can't picture myself anymore with make-up because it makes me feel different, a fake version of myself and I don't like to lie to myself on who and how I am.

It may be difficult for some women, because its rooted in our society to be always pretty and clean. And I hate it because I like to show everyone my real features, my real face, and how it can be totally normale to have flaws. Because we're human and we have flaws. And I love it.

That reminds of me of someone saying Aerith was trans and someone responding

“The only thing trans about her is how early she died”

I remember lmao, that was hilarious.

That Reminds Of Me Of Someone Saying Aerith Was Trans And Someone Responding

More seriously: Does OP realize that women can also be sarcastic, crack jokes, like food and wear chokers? It's such a dumb reason to think she's trans.

I love how feminism changed my perspective about everything in life. This is why women are taught that feminism isn't good for them; it opens our eyes and shows us the world's true colours. "If you want to get married or you don't want trouble in life, avoid feminism", they say, but it's for them. They know how strong the power women could hold against men and their sick rules.

I love how we are supposed to think that men have a monopoly on logic and rationality when one of their favorite problem-solving strategies is “kill my entire family and then myself”

People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.

If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.

Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.

The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.
