People hate Sansa because of her unapologetic femininity. Even the tools and weapons she wields are inherently feminine, using her needlework and social graces to create alliances and prove her worth. They indulge Arya’s arc because she rejects the rules of being a noblewoman, is rough and tumble and physically aggressive. But they could never forgive Sansa because she gravitates to girlhood.
Nothing but respect from my lips for the Lady of Winterfell and Queen in the North.
I still can't get over how there are things that are considered perfectly acceptable to do to children that, if you did to another adult, would be considered domestic abuse
This is what people mean when they say that children are an oppressed class
this moment made the credits very bittersweet for me. mido and king zora are the only ones not celebrating because saria and ruto aren’t there anymore, but i wanna think of the little sparkles as their way of saying goodbye to them…
I can't fathom why "natural birth" is something to aspire to. Why are so many women obsessed with the idea of not having pain management during a major medical event like what does that accomplish
It’s not child marriages but girl child marriages. Women aren’t marrying little boys. It’s men all over the world chasing or marrying literal girl children
@ohmygodwhatwhy I think it’s similar to when animals being kept in captivity stop eating. Its a form of “zoocosis” in people. 21 century is very unnatural to how people were supposed to live. Even animals in perfect artificial habitats with everything “handed” to them will stop eating.
Having a female body is all about how well you can make your body not seem human at all. Have no smell, no hair, none of your natural color, don't be at your natural weight. We're expected to smell and taste like gardnens, or worse, concepts. Frangances, lotions, washes with scents called "falling in love" or "on a date". Women are not supposed to be human. We're supposed to be ideas, concepts.
One of the hardest things about my ADHD is that I get trapped in the mental gymnastics of the “order” of tasks. Like I can’t shower until I work out and I can’t eat until I shower, but I can’t work out because I have chores that I should really do first cuz after I eat, I won’t feel like doing anything, and then I avoid doing the chores because I really don’t want to do them and then before I know it
it’s actually fascinating to have a mind that requires you to self talk like “hey. instead of ruminating on the thoughts and feelings of other people for another 40 minutes it would be great if you ate a sandwich”
I respect you so much for waking up this conversation. A lot of friendships are hostile and competitive because there is this need for a friend with a little bit more experience to look down and consistently lecture their other friend just for existing and experiencing life in-
