argumentative antithetical dreamgirl

  fundamentally people have been trying to push taylor swift into some kind of britney-esque public meltdown for over a decade and they're angry it hasn't worked. everything she does publicly is evidence that it didn't work. they hate her writing songs about her relationships with the press and the public because they hate that she's expressing those feelings in a work of art that she chooses to release and profit from instead of by breaking down sobbing in a parking lot for the benefit of paparazzi. they hate that she never had to check herself into a psychiatric facility. they hate that she was cold and collected and snarky during her SA trial instead of breaking down crying on the stand. i wanna be clear, here; i'm not blaming britney for what the press (and her family, for that matter) did to her. i'm not saying that taylor is a better person or stronger or smarter for not breaking down in a grocery store, for not breaking down on the stand, for expressing h...

  i'm sure there are many men that aren't counted in abuse and rape statistics bc they don't see what happened to them as abuse or rape. where you lose me is when you imply that the same is not true for many women. the idea of not realizing you've been abused or raped, or being too ashamed to admit it to yourself/others, is not some kind of male-exclusive experience that no woman could ever hope to understand. "men can't be abused/raped" is just one tool out of many in the abuse apologist toolbox, and if it's not applicable to one victim, then another will be used--and yes, many of those tools are exclusive to women.

probably the first proto-humans who were like "hey what if we all lived in a cave together" there was probably some guy who was like "we should hang meat in the cave to spite the bears" and everyone was like "if we do that the bear will come in the cave" and he was like "nuh uh" and then he hung up meat in the cave and kept doing it when nobody was looking so the rest of the proto-humans had to kill him to stop him from putting everyone at risk. a society where we use the law instead of having to kill people to prevent them from ruining society is better tbh.

lowkey it kind of makes no sense that all the black widows in the comics as russian and white? seems more likely that they would find women from countries the soviet union occupied, and/or ethnic minorities. there should be ukrainian widows, there should be jewish widows, there should be romani widows, tatar widows, etc. i don't mean this in a like "the human trafficking organization should be more diverse <3 / more trans suicide bombers" way. i mean that a racist empire, when putting together a program that dehumanizes women, brainwashes them, and turns them into objects for political/military purposes, wouldn't be out here picking exclusively women from the preferred national/ethnic group. they would be drawing primarily from national and ethnic groups that they see as disposable.

  how many more? how many more children, babies, have to be killed to make up for all the "other side's" children who are killed? how long do we do this? how many more generations? how much more blood? when does the scale even out. when does the scale even out, when do we reach a point when we can look at the bloodshed and the lives destroyed and decide the suffering has been appropriately distributed so this can finally STOP? so people can finally go home. so more babies can stop dying. as if blood will go into the cogs, and dry into something so hard that it stops the machine. as if that will happen, when blood is continually spilled. who wins? who wins, in this contest of who can kill the most and who can lose the most and who can suffer the most? who wins? hind rajab didn't win. kfir and ariel bibas did not win. do you know that hind rajab was only a year older than ariel? they could have been friends. they should be playing in the dirt. children. safe. i am tired...

 when Herbie put himself btwn Galactus and Franklin i cried

 they don't know that my scene was actually mattel's second attempt to compete with bratz and their first attempt was the Flavas, a line of dolls so controversial it managed to piss off people across the entire political spectrum. 

 i started reading before bed every night and on a whim i started reading aloud to elsa and i found that it really calms her down before bed, i have to fight with her a lot less to go to sleep. then i realized i am reading bedtime stories to my cat. like she is a toddler. also i do different voices for the characters, i'm basically teaching myself acting.  the other day my niece was over and i was like "i got a book from the library about acting so i can do better voices when i read bedtime stories to my cat" and she was like "that's the most iconic thing you've said in like, years."

  read an f1 romance novel that was pretty good but was also very obviously (to me) reskinned mcu pietro maximoff x tony's daughter fanfic. i don't think your average person would pick up on it but unfortunately for the author my marvel brainrot is so deeply embedded that i can recognize this shit like one of those police dogs sniffing out cocaine.

re: iron dome discourse. im not even gonna bother with the "israelis are human beings and its bad when human beings die" argument cause i know thats in one ear and out the other to you demons, so instead i will simply point out the obvious: what part of the entire history of i/p has led you to believe that MORE dead israelis will make israel LESS violent towards palestine and palestinians? do you not remember what preceded this most recent slaughter in gaza? do you not have a memory, a reference point here. sorry but people are right when they say the left just fully memory holed 10/7 cause that is the ONLY way "defunding the iron dome will make israel come to the negotiating table" has even a single shred of logic to it. ("so you think the genocide is justified?" no i don't think it is at all!!! when i said i don't believe in collective punishment and that every death esp civilian deaths is a tragedy, i actually meant it, unlike most of u.)

i havent watched the Uglies movie so maybe it IS bad (and i read the books in middle school so maybe they WERE bad and i just didn't realize it at the time) but the premise absolutely slaps and idk why people are pretending not to understand it. it's straightforward. this is not difficult commentary to discern. i understood it fine at 13 but full grown youtubers and other internet commentariat are acting as if it's gone over their heads somehow. like what i mean is, for example: people keep saying "but the uglies aren't even ugly!" and like, yes, you're correct. that is the point. the Ugly characters see themselves as hideous deformed monsters because of the society they live in but the audience isn't supposed to agree with them. you're SUPPOSED to see the discrepancy btwn how the characters see themselves vs how they objectively look. they put that there intentionally! but people keep pointing it out as if it's a like, a flaw in...

 i love libraries soooooo much 

ykw is funny is how misogynistic homophobes in the 2010s were always like "haha justin bieber is gay" in part bc they thought it would be funny to like teach those horny teenage girls a lesson, if bieber turned out gay, then they would know not to have crushes anymore anyways only for one direction to arrive a couple years later and just blow that theory out of the water. harry wasn't even not labeling his sexuality yet and fangirls were fabricating gayness for them. the only reason this didnt happen with the jonas brothers (as much) is bc they were brothers, if they weren't related (or being realistic even if they were just like cousins) joe/nick would've been on. if justin bieber had come out as gay the fangirls would not have been devastated into never having crushes again. they would've celebrated like nobody's ever celebrated. a whole generation of fujoshi would've been unlocked. i dont fault justin bieber for being straight, its ...

as a woman, there's always a tiny bit of anxiety when getting into an uber with a male driver, except for this one time, where the guy had pink acrylic nails fit for a drag queen and i instantly felt safe. favorite uber driver ive ever had btw

how is alicent hightower not like, the ur example of "she should've been at the club." like her picture should be in the urban dictionary. 

new genre of guy (gn) discovered: a doomsday prepper blog who thinks the government is going to destroy society but will respect their dni. literally like "dni: racists, sexists, homophobes, government agents, FBI, CIA." dnis are always stupid but this one is so dumb it's actually kind of charming. Like an FBI agent was gonna spy on them but was like "ohhhhhh they have us in the dni....ohhh no....they--they didn't train me for this...." 

Stop Teaming Up with Misogynists. Every misogynistic thing you ever heard someone say about Amber Heard--every "bitch," "cunt," "slut," "homewrecker," "liaress," "whore," every body-shaming comment, every objectifying comment, every disgusting comment about her genitals and her sex life--for every one of those comments, there is another woman the speaker wanted to say it about but knew they couldn't get away with. 

 premenstrual dysphoric disorder is actually crazy i feel like those sexist doctors in victorian england would've had a field day w me...they would be like "your uterus is haunted and its trying to get you to kill yourself" and i would be like "shit, maybe"

"OMG Elon Musk's Nazi salute is so evil check in on your Jewish friends!" bestie you've been calling Jewish women too ugly to be raped for over a year. You don't have Jewish friends. You have Jewish acquaintances whose trust you've lost so thoroughly that they don't even feel safe telling you about it. They are talking shit about you on discord right now and rightfully so.  Fuck Elon Musk too ofc but fuck everyone pretending to give a shit too. If you really hated that salute so bad you would've kicked the people doing them out of your rallies. 

I'm sorry but Blake Lively could've had like a speeding ticket from fifteen years ago and it would somehow get used as character evidence by people to prove she's a lying b*tch but Justin Baldoni has three lawsuits in four years and nobody is willing to put it together that maybe he's the problem.
