the other night i mentioned wanting to start a riot grrrl band called “Manic Pixie Dream Girls”
and someone actually acted like the idea is offensive.
um, listen to punk rock sometime.
Distraction #74: The usual
dowdyinsweatshirts:
Guys, really, reblogging a bunch of skinny bitches doesn’t help with preexisting self esteem issues for yourself or your readers. Why is tumblr so fucking devoid of normal sized men and women? Sorry I’m a bit angry after seeing that pages and pages of my dashboard were filled with all these skinny…
ok here’s what’s eating me up today:
IF YOU BASH GIRLS FOR THEIR SIZE YOU ARE NOT A RIOT GRRRL. sorry, you can’t be considered part of a feminist movement if you perpetuate the white heteronormative masculine-dictated myth of “beauty”. period. and sorry to break it to ya, but it makes you a girl-on-girl bully. so go listen to nicki minaj and start calling yourself a black panther, because that’s about what you’re doing with your life at this point anyway.
<3
[that’s my last rant like this for a while, i know i tend to dwell on subjects like this too often.]
edit: this rant was not meant to criticize dowdy. i know her well, understood what she meant, and agree with what she was saying. i was piggy backing off of her rant because she, as usual, said something that makes profound amounts of sense.
