For me Barbie was the first feminist icon in animation. Endless careers, no prince needed, just a girl showing other girls they could be anything. Thatโs why we were all obsessed
At Revolution on Ice, I went to approach Ashley Wagner (she had her back to me) and she'd just got a glass of wine and another skater (can't remember who!) saw me coming and took it off her so she could take a photo with me + she complimented my t-shirt ๐ฉต
guys since iโm a newbie here, i would actually love to hear your favourite memories from any fs comps like hit me with the craziest, funniest, touching, ridiculous, most random stories i wanna hear it all ๐๐ป
Football has banter. I get it. It is what it is, and if they didn't know the women's game was on, they probably thought I was trying to annoy them. But saying that is never okay
So look, I don't normally discuss this kind of thing. But I was walking back to King's Cross today after the W FA Cup final (Man C vs Brighton). I had on a City shirt and the flag they gave us at the game. I expected a bit of banter from the Arsenal fans, that's fine+
What I did not expect was one man saying he wanted to rape and kill me because of the football team I support. Also, this was near another City family, who had two young girls with them (below 10). I honestly got terrified and crossed the road as fast as I could
@yunamaoist +biases that the judges and audience have. I'd like to make it clear that I am not aiming to speak out over people of colour in any way shape or form, this is just my opinion on the situation, and I also don't agree with the stereotypes I've mentioned
@yunamaoist +not be perceived as gay. So they go for hyper masculine traits, including being more aggressive. Black people have been profiled as more aggressive in their music, style, everything, and so by using music styles associated with black culture, they are tapping into subconscious+
