ironfoxe:thejesusandmarxchain:korra-sensation-domination:swedens:I love this image so much.I’ve seen some women who are offended by this and say it’s ridiculous that her cleavage is showing and things of that sort.Personally, I think it’s great.Why should we have an image of a women with her hair tied up and flexing her muscles like she’s a man? (not that that isn’t great too!) In a way it suggests that when our hair is down, our breasts are visible and we wear (GASP) lipstick, we’re somehow lesser than men? We can do it! We can be feminine and successful.You see what I’m saying here, ladies?You don’t have to lose your femininity. Being feminine is great. Being masculine is great. Strength is not limited to one way of being.THE COMMENTARY IS MAKING MY HEART SINGoh my god this is from an article called THE END OF FEMINISM and it’s for a MEN’S MAGAZINEJesus fucking Christ DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH ON SHIT BEFORE YOU HAIL IT FUCKING GOD DAMNThis post was my peaklibfem. The fact that someone could blindly put up an image from an anti-feminist article that encouraged women to stop trying to “be men” and start putting on a little makeup and letting their hair down, add inane commentary about how this portrays the ~empowerment~ of femininity (gag), and have it widely circulated around tumblr as beacon of hope without any criticism at all…it just blew me away. It was the point at which I could no longer ignore how empty and senseless and meaningless mainstream feminism has become.Lol at libfems telling me they hope I see the light of this kind of nonsense. Been there, done that, decided I wanted actual feminism with substance instead of my oppression repackaged as my supposed salvation. -- source link
