Feminism... I Think? - Tumblr Posts

Huh, reading that (which was fantastic, btw) my mind keep substituting performative liberalism for performative peace. And, like, it’s not wrong?  If we’re already woke it’s awfully hard to wake up.

not to be all “tw*light did nothing wrong” but misogyny honest to god killed the hunger games

Everyone likes talking about how poorly treated girls are about puberty, but at this point can we just talk about how fucking horrible boys are often depicted in puberty nowadays?:

Girls' puberty - A emotional roller coaster full of physical, mental, and setting changes for a woman's body and societal status.

Boys' puberty - Sex-obsessed child grows hair and beats meat.

This isn't to say to stop talking about Girls' puberty. I think we just need to stop making those for Boys' seem dastardly simple yet explicitly more vulgar because well, first of all this simplification is describing 10-17 year old boys. Literal children.

But another thing is that this depiction makes boys seem like they never have emotional changes like girls do bc "Girls are the ones with emotions, not boys! Boys are obsessed with sex all the time! They only ever think about sex and punching through drywall!".

This need to make boys look "stoic" and "strong" only ends us with a disgusting and problematic depiction of puberty in boys (Who I remind you again, are mostly underage and thereby children). Everyone goes through massive emotional changes in puberty. EVERYONE. Girls may just so happen to be treated worse (Bc society), but we need to stop making boys seem like they don't have emotional changes as well just to make them sound 'cooler'.
