Heyo guys-it's been a while hasn't it??? btw-it's Queenie.
\how're ya'll doin? good i hope. i've gotten damn tired of seeing this commission journal every time i come on here so-here it goes. haha
anyway-i have a problem:
Why must I be "man enough" to fight someone? Why is strength equated to masculinity? If I choose to remain "female enough," does that keep me from being strong? Why can't I be female enough to fight someone?
"Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short, wear shirts and boots because it is okay to be a boy; but for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, because you think being a girl is degrading."
Picture for a moment a society where there is but one gender, one sex; where everyone is neutral and equal to one another. What do you picture these people to look like? Do you picture them predominantly male or female; either? Does it matter whether the gender is a male or female? Should gender even matter? Do we need gender categories to base our social status quo upon in order to create a functional society? Unfortunately, in our society there exists, not one, but two binarily recognized sexes, and a large array of associations with both. People are forced to associate with one or the other. As a cis-female cohabiting in this so called "modern" civilization, a cis female with an "admirable" body, I am accustomed to repression and male superiority. I often find myself saying, endlessly demanding from my surroundings:
Don't objectify me.Yes, you heard me correctly. Do not objectify me; don't materialize me. Look into me, not at me. See me for my mind, my opinions, my words and ideas. See me for my
charming personality, my lax in organization, my mind rebelling at stagnation.
As a member of the female sex, I speak on the behalf of many when I say that female objectification is not flattering in any situation. Nor is male objectification!!!
The sale rate of cosmetic supplies increased
eight percent in 2011; this increase in makeup and the slow rise in frequent cosmetic surgeries has resulted in the socially accepted equation that aesthetic beauty equals confidence. Women shouldn't have to feel that they are any less important when not wearing makeup. Just because some women wear makeup does not make them any more significant, but because beauty is over sexualized in our modern media, true beauty (inner beauty) isn't recognized.
Basing "facts" of female insecurity on the flippant knowledge of average cosmetic sales every year doesn't give one the right to categorize a woman by their appearance. Our media has sexualized the female body so dominantly in our society that the only way for a female to be acknowledged and appreciated is to appear appealing; any woman that doesn't hold much to any sex appeal or aesthetic appeal is-excuse me for saying-shit out of luck. People wonder and complain about why females worry so much over their size? It's because all everyone else does is worry over their size!
Women shouldn't need aesthetic inclination to have their opinions, ideas and dreams validated. I do not need my opinion corrected by superfluous male superiority in order to recognize myself.
I do not need to be agreed with, I'd just appreciate being acknowledged-not as a female opinion, but as
a opinion.
Stop treating females as if their worth depends on their looks. So many teenage girls hate themselves because they feel they're not good enough. Compliment them as ladies-not as objects. We do not belong in the kitchen, we're not made to raise kids, we're not always dainty and helpless GOD DAMNIT. We're strong individuals who can hold our own. And if one more person goes "hey wassup tits-" i just might have to deck em. with estrogene.
AND LADIES-let's not treat men as eye-candy, mkay? They're human too. Despite how fine their asses may look.
Sorry for my random rant guys. I've just experienced a lot of female bias and i'm not feeling too good about it.
I shall end this journal with-
DAT ASS-
Over and Out-
