it’s so wild cause i feel like a main theme in barbie was men doing the bare minimum and getting celebrated for it and it literally created a real world example-
@illuminiah patriarchy has rewarded the dismissal of emotion & we all play a part in upholding it.
this sounds like a defense mechanism at best. your emotions should inform your logic & vice versa why would they need to be "overcome"?
boundaries & empathy can co-exist?
this makes me really sad to see. especially as i make amends with my body and start to understand it’s consciousness and the way it speaks to me.
the body loves you so much, it really is doing it’s best for you and every time your heart pumps it’s a love letter from the consciousness of your body, who has decided to do everything it can to keep you alive so that you may have a vehicle to experience life.
the body is also YOU. a part of you. it is not the mind so it doesn’t have language to convey what it needs, it has a childlike innocence and understanding that is quite elegant but very simple. when it hears you and sees you preferring other bodies and wishing parts of it away or hurting it because you don’t like the way it looks or functions, the body is pained and bewildered and it holds on to that.
you cannot dream of another body. you are all your body dreams of.
