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.
Why isn't radblr talking about Adriana Kuch
this is unbelievably cruel.. n the attackers gloating n still talking badly of her after she died.. repulsive. the school should face consequences bc they’ve dealt with this horribly. they advised the parents to keep the girl home so her bullies don’t mock her instead of… holding the bullies accountable??? what kind of logic
I'm trying to understand why feminism is hated by other women. Most of them say "I'm not feminist because I want equality and not women above men". They care more about men than us.
They care more about the same people who harass, rape and kill women just because they (we) exist.

"radical feminism helps patriarchy stay in power" yeah.. you're right being pro abortion, anti porn, anti sw, anti beauty standards helping patriarchy very well.
and sticking to gender stereotypes which patriarchy loves, denying same sex attraction and sending women death and rape threats is probably very anti patriarchy
one thing that i think mainstream feminism does not address nearly enough is the impact of patriarchal religion. in the US, for example, many girls grow up being EXPLICITLY TAUGHT that women were created to be subservient to men and that their destiny in life is to be submissive to their husband as if he were god. this is not a rare experience.
you guys have no idea how bad America's influence is in a lot of eastern European countries when it comes to leftist discourse like most of the men here are so insanely homophobic they will literally spit on me when they just see me existing by myself on the tram but then you go to an lgbt event and you have people ask for your pronouns and then call you a terf when you say you're actually not that much into dick really when you think about it and stuff...... it's wild bro like?? who actually has my back now?? nobody... you fucking freaks are the same as conservatives to me
I just noticed one thing about the reasons men and women are getting canceled. My main point (aka TLDR): a woman is criticized for what she said, and a man for what he did. Here's an example.
There's a female content creator named Omocat. She made a game called Omori, which has been pretty successful. But there's been a controversy going around her since 2014. So, you may find proof on the internet, I'm just telling you real quick. So, she joked about shotacon back in 2012-2013 and also made a shirt merch design with the word 'shota' on it. She apologized, two years later, and stopped selling that shirt. After that, she said nothing controversial, but people came at her in 2020, just before she was about to release her game. The controversy was always going somewhere in the background, but literally yesterday she wrote that this shit was going anew, and she again explained herself.
Her actions were problematic, but a lot changed in ten years, right?
Now, here's the controversy surrounding another part of the Omocat's team, the main game composer, Pedro Silva. It's on the screenshot because I'm too lazy to write that down, and If you wish you can find out more on the internet.
As we see, Pedro Silva got canceled because he (they, whatever) literally ABUSED his partners, and If I had to believe this Redditor, it was not so long ago before the game was launched. Interestingly enough, as you see the thing I underlined, fandom somehow came to blame Omocat, as If she was responsible for his actions.
I can't give much more examples, but If you do, you can reblog this, whatever. I'm not really following any internet drama surrounding celebrities and media people, but since I love her game, I had to check it out.
Tho I remember the controversy around Jenna Marbles in 2019-2020, for the 'blackface' in her 2012 video. Can you see the pattern I'm talking about?
Or even JK Rowling! Did she kill, rape, or abuse any trans person? No, but it was enough for TRAs to cancel her. For her words. For what she said, not did.
While women are criticized for everything they say/do, If it's fair or not, men get canceled for doing atrocious, wicked things. And sometimes they even don't! Yes, Depp sympathizers, I'm looking at you. Can you imagine how many men could have gotten canceled for being racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, ableist... Don't even get me started on misogynistic.
Gyns, do you feel this was too? I'm just curious If it's a big, big pattern or if I'm just basing this off a few situations. Anyways, share you opinion or something, I would be glad to hear it!
Men who feel this victimized by a woman’s “no” are monsters.
