when stylists say “youll look bad with your hair short” they dont mean youll look bad they mean you wont look traditionally feminine and therefore youll look bad. its irrelevant how bad or good you actually look.
think about this: most men in western society have short hair. do people ever say to these men, “no your face shape won’t work with this haircut.” no; because every face shape works with short hair.
Can we please be the generation that stops putting up with the family child molester? The grown uncle who dates teenage girls, the husband who makes uncomfortable comments about young women’s clothing, or the cousin who raises red flags with their behavior towards children but no one wants to talk about all need to go. Children, especially young women, are expected to “keep the family together” by not making a fuss over incredibly traumatic behavior. Children don’t deserve to suffer trauma for adults’ feelings of togetherness. They’re more worthy of protection than predators. A healthy family is not built on the backs of abuse survivors expected to live their lives in silence without justice, support, or protection.
hm you know what, the fact that there’s makeup designed to be extra extra long lasting and marketed as gym makeup is like…a searing indictment of the misogynist capitalist hell in which we live and not a cool innovation
and before anyone comes at me with “What if they want to! stop policing girls!!” please rub your last two brain cells together and think about why a woman feels compelled to wear makeup to do something as simple work out and sweat.
