@annabelrosee — the bimbo aesthetic, and that includes the women in the community that may wear revealing clothing or showcase their sex appeal as well as the other elements, that fall under the “bimbo” and “highfem” aesthetic.
@annabelrosee I agree that the women in the photo cater to the male gaze. Im saying that there are multiple ways to show the super fem aesthetic while it not being automatically being minimized for the male gaze when these are lesbians im mainly talking about. And yes there are variations of
@PLAYYBOIBARBIE This is not right when there are lesbians that are hyperfem, have sex appeal, etc. When I say this im not referring to the straight women in the picture but the look that women of different sexualities have, lesbians aren’t excluded from this

@Anar_Majoris Yeah I just wanted to make it clear that I would never use a term that was used negatively, or in its misogynistic context, in reference to women, which is why I specifically said “bimbo aesthetic” instead of “bimbo”. Thank you for understanding, I appreciate that. <3
@Anar_Majoris Since it has been used as such im not using it in its misogynistic or negative connotation, but in the reclaimation of it used by women who use the term instead. Though I wouldve used a different word to explain the specific aesthetic/look and avoid confusion
@autumn_jon32442@raspberry23234 Yes and some women have reclaimed it since they enjoy that aesthetic, just free FROM misogyny and the negativity surrounding the term. Whether ppl want to argue the validity of it? They can save that for a tiktok debate panel, but im talking about women who use the term
@prncsdove Like as if I didnt specifically highlight it and said OR even then. They just inferred I was using the term in its negative and misogynistic connotation (though I wouldve used a different term), instead of for women who have reclaimed it. I wasnt conflating fem/hyperfm with bimbo
@Oopydoopie See how I said sexy, then hyperfem women, and then said bimbo lastly to highlight women who SPECIFICALLY see themselves as falling under that aesthetic and have reclaimed the term separate from its negative connotation usually used by men? Maybe get diagnosed slow bitch
“male gaze” from a woman embracing her own sexuality and finding her body sexy. And anything that a woman finds sexy for herself being reduced to her catering to men and what they think
There are several lesbian, and bisexual women that either fall into the pool of women that either aesthetically look like this in the community and/or are attracted to women that look like this inside/outside of the community. But I agree that the intention is what separates
@Oopydoopie Are you intentionally slow? When tf did I infer this? Im talking about women that fall udner the aesthetic of “bimbo” that are usually hyper feminine, have exaggerated glamour, and sometimes sex appeal. You’re the one that inferred that when that wasn’t my point at all
its fine for ppl to be attracted to masc presenting women. i think the actual issue is how so many ppl, including the queer community, treat lesbians like liars for being attracted to this or call it “male gaze” attraction esp if u’r fem urself. when this is peak homosexualtivity
