  1. Let's admit it: the social stereotype of females being able to give community and belonging has lost its meaning totally and completely.
    When you are tired and lonely, look at your life and not for women to give you comfort!!!!!!!

  3. “The animosity towards #transgender women in society is rooted in the perception of #masculinity as "strong and natural" and #femininity as "weak and artificial" (Serano, 2019, as cited in Brogaard, 2020, p. 94).
    Internalized #misogyny can be experienced by cisgender and transgender women alike due
    to the fact that all women are survivors under the #patriarchy, as they have faced specific
    challenges as a result of being women in a society that devalues everything related to their
    gender.”

  5. Young Girl Standing Against a Background of Wheat, Vincent Van Gogh

    Really love the colors used here, it blows my mind when I try to analyze or imagine how I could have come up with that on my own. I would like to understand his process or his system.

    I'm sort of tired from work so maybe tomorrow I won't think that this girl carries all that is good and true about humanity under her little sun hat. All the flowers probably appeared when she did, like she has that kind of effect on the natural world. 😁

  7. I feel them resting in the space between my boobs.
    My three gold chains.
    They sit lightly, rising and falling with each breath. Not fancy, but fine. Feminine. Their only purpose to bind me more securely to myself.

  9. Short hair raises suspicion.
    Athletic bodies invite scrutiny.
    Neutral clothing becomes a signal of doubt.
    Height, voice, posture — all become clues in a spontaneous investigation.

  10. No, you’re not a “bad bitch”. You wear fake nails and high heels. You gave up the ability to punch people and run away to follow fashion trends designed to make the expression of #femininity synonymous with the sacrifice of agency and practicality. Bad bitches are ready to get their hands dirty, you look like a TikTok #tradwife trying to signal she’s leisure class.

  11. New paper out in #ScientificReports on how humans perceive sex-specific #BodyOdours [i.e., #MSH and #HMHA]. It confirms the existence of #gender and #age differences in odour #perception, as well as a pre-existing bias associating #pleasantness with #femininity. However, the effects of the compounds themselves are very small, indicating a minimal role of MSH and/or HMHA in mate preferences.

  12. This isn’t just a trans issue. It affects every woman who doesn’t present in a stereotypically feminine way. Every gym-going, short-haired, no-makeup, hoodie-wearing woman becomes a potential target.
    This is policing based on vibes. And if you stand still long enough, the wrong vibes will get you thrown out.

  13. CW: femininity & erotica

    this's been on my mind for a while; months back I casually asked my wife if she knew who Anaïs Nin was & her reaction was really interesting. she said she did but in a tone that was almost shocked or mildly offended that the name had come out of my mouth. it was a fascinating interaction. my only exposure to her was through film, I'm madly in love with Maria de Medeiros & she played Nin in the fantastic biopic Henry & June.

  14. I’m not saying you’re #queer. But that feeling of otherness and outside-ness, simultaneously isolating and liberating, is at least adjacent to the queer experience.

  15. "as a pink lover. The ""universal""" hatred of the color #pink by young girls is due to the heavy expectation of #femininity forced on them. It is an expression of frustration at #gender roles. It is not internalized #misogyny. No you will not inevitably start liking pink as an #adult and if you do that is not #healing your inner divine #feminine or whatever we're saying now. Its a color. 😁👍"

  16. "Femininity" and "masculinity" change so much across time and place that every rule has been broken and rewritten before.

    The only way to learn how to incorporate such things into yourself as a nonbinary person is to look inside.

    Ask yourself what you need.

  17. ""#trans men transition because they hate women and femininity" I've literally never seen a group of #men who felt so guilty and ashamed of their #masculinity and being #male or who loved and supported #women and #femininity as much as trans men in my #life but ok. just throw away their #support it's whatever"

  18. I am tired of conforming to society’s idea of what a woman is or should be. Buying razor blades and shaving cream is expensive. As I age, bending to reach every nook and cranny, especially behind my knees, is becoming more and more difficult. It hurts when I cut my toes.

  19. There’s a quiet expectation that tomboys will eventually “grow out of it.” That girlhood, if done right, leads to womanhood, and womanhood means softness, polish, desirability. When girls resist that path — when we climb trees instead of wearing dresses, when we speak too loud or take up too much space — it’s tolerated as a phase. But phases are meant to pass.

  20. So, I am going through a bit of a questioning phase now, after I broke up with my ex-bf.

    If you asked me at any point in my life up until recently, I would have said I was primarily sexually into men. As far as I was aware, I craved men and male sexual attention.

    I occasionally had fantasies about women and sometimes found women sexy, but I saw it as an exception, not like the intense craving and lust I felt for men.

    I would have identified as "definitely bi, but in practice mostly straight".

    Well, well, well… it seems like that has changed?

    This #Pride was really the experience that brought those feelings front and center. My. God. Women. Are. Beautiful.

    Also, spending time around lesbians is really giving me new levels of appreciation for #women and #femininity in all its diverse forms. When I see women loving women, it is an inspiration unlike anything I've experienced before. The joy of shared femininity is enthralling.
