  • Pretty much. But i have a nitpick with the “death of the author” critique in relation to boycotts and moral positions.

    I disconnect the author from their work in a judgment and appreciation sense: I’d never say Harry Potter isn’t bad because Rowling wrote it. But promoting or purchasing their work provides tangible support to a shithead, so that’s where I draw the line. If Ben-Gvir opened a kickass breakfast joint with the best waffles in the world, I could agree it has good food, but I’d hope people would understand as to why I’d refuse to eat there and shame anyone who did.



  • I’ve met hairy cis girls. I’ve met cis girls that were balding, cis girls that had flat chests, cis girls with chiseled jawlines, with a square torso, narrow hips, thin lips, a clit that rivalled micropenises.

    None of these things define what a woman is; artifacts of beauty standards and skewed sense of averages. There’s certainly ‘typically feminine’ traits many aspire to, but too many people conflate their ideal body & looks with gender identity IMO.

    It started out as a pejorative (like a cheap car with cheap mods) but has become a positive term associated with customization and a respect for effort involved regardless of financial resources (sometimes cheaper being more impressive).

    So uh… Nah I’m gonna keep saying that. You do you.
