Hey Remember How Awhile Back I Mentioned That Tiktok Has A Whole Trend Where People Mix Cleaning Supplies

hey remember how awhile back i mentioned that tiktok has a whole trend where people mix cleaning supplies well i redownloaded tiktok so im finally able to show you what i mean

this is the only reason i get news notifications on my phone

okay okay hear me out: the reason we hear about toxic masculinity but not toxic femininity is because the former is profitable to talk about but the latter would actively damage multiple industries. like if we pointed out that trying to be ultra feminine and conform to what a woman “should” be actively hurts a lot of women then industries like makeup, diet, fashion, and skincare would likely see a significant dip in profits, meanwhile talking about toxic masculinity doesn’t really hurt any industries because like, the way we’ve approached it as a society is that you can still be “manly” and typically masculine, just so long as you allow yourself to open up and show emotions once in a while, so no industry that profits off the whole “manliness” thing has been significantly hurt. but like, we can’t approach “toxic femininity” the same way, because part of what makes femininity so toxic is that women are often coerced into buying products (like makeup and some clothes) to make themselves more feminine and conform.

this is also why the main topic we talk about when discussing internalized misogyny is girls (not women - girls) who say they’re “not like other girls” and reject femininity altogether. it’s more profitable to act like the main source of internalized misogyny for women is women who resent other women for performing femininity correctly, the way they’re expected to, and not the other way around. it hurts no industry to act like the main source of internalized misogyny for women is women who reject what they’re being told is expected of them!!

idk this is making me go insane.

terfs and radfems don’t interact with this post

idk can we stop…treating a.ce disc.ourse like it’s some haha funney cringe compilation or whatever the fuck because it fucking destroyed the entire ace and aro communities. there is no solid aspec community on tumblr anymore (which was by far the biggest number of aspec ppl). exclusionists took our community and fucking smashed it to pieces and y'all treat it as this fucking stupid joke when they traumatized, gaslit, and abused an entire group of queer people back into the closet. fuck every single person who doesn’t take that seriously.

homophobes are not allowed to use computers because the inventor of the computer was gay
