So I was thinking about the whole elves-being-naturally-prettier-than-humans thing because that was always sort of weird to me when I FINALLY think I figured it out.

Humans used to know about the elves, and there are some things they still remember—hence myths about Atlantis and such. Reality is, humans and elves resembled each other in a lot of ways, but elves put themselves on a pedestal as better than every other species (that’s, like, canon, and better be addressed more fully at some point?) and that’s probably a part of the reasons humans “betrayed” the elves—they got sick of hearing that elves were better.

But it was just sort of implanted in their minds, though they weren’t fans of the idea, and elves didn’t go to great lengths to erase that idea from their minds. So humans remember myths and some things about elves, and Atlantis being the underwater city………and beauty standards.

It’s not that elves are naturally prettier than humans. It’s that human beauty standards are shaped around the natural looks of elves.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk

#and human beauty standards change all the time obviously #height and weight and all. they come in and out of fashion every decade and that’s it’s whole own issue #but things like symmetry #clear skin #etc #those things are pretty much universal #there’s also a mathematical model for a ratio range of female attributes that is considered most beautiful across all times and cultures #even considering different heights and weights and such #so there’s definitely some consistency to beauty standards and THAT would be how elves are more naturally beautiful.#they look like their own species and they’ve ingrained it into the minds of other species that they are superior #so subconsciously the humans still believe it #>:(#kotlc #keeper of the lost cities #sophie foster #shannon messenger #kotlc fandom #kotlc theories

If you see a female body and think 'this needs to be fixed', that's not a natural thought. There's nothing that needs to be modified about bodies of living beings, especially not to fit some inane standards. If you believe there's something wrong with the way female body looks naturally, then you either are hateful of women, or your mind has been hijacked to believe it's normal to hate women's bodies. That's not normal. If we accepted how every animal in the world looks, if we accepted how half of the human population looks and are fine with it, why is the other half 'needing to be fixed'?

Why can't we look at women's bodies and go 'yeah, they're fine as they are', and move on, like we do with everything else? What gives anyone even the entitlement to be the one allowed to judge women's bodies? To imply something about them isn't 'good enough' is already a disrespect and implication that women don't exist as living, feeling, human beings, but just as something to be judged and put into place by someone else.

Women are taught to maintain beauty, humility, and purity. When she defies this, she has lost her mind. What if we held men to the same standards?

Long nails are proof that women's beauty standards have always focused on frailty, rejecting any physical prowess exuded by women. Defining feminity with fragility connotations dissuades women from gaining strength and fighting for themselves. Long hair, Long nails and underweight bodies are all physically uncomfortable- they prevent the wearer from fighting back. Even when women excercise, it is focused on maintaining an aesthetic instead of gaining strength. Men are afraid of what we are capable of so they try their very best to suppress us.

In March of 1916 [Charlotte Perkins] Gilman addressed the Working Women’s Protective Union in New York City with these words: “It was not the Lord who gave men short hair while women’s is long,” she told her audience. “It was the scissors. I am not asking you to go home and cut your hair, though I think we would all be much cleaner and happier and more comfortable with it short. You wouldn’t do it anyway. But I do ask you if this isn’t a joke: If a woman—who has no more natural reason for wearing her hair long than a man—goes and cuts it off, people say, ‘Oh, shame: she wants to be a man!’ But what do they say when the case is reversed? Whiskers are a man’s natural prerogative, but now when he shaves off his whiskers and goes with a smooth face, why don’t they say to him, ‘You want to look like a woman!’”

-Susan Brownmiller, Femininity

something that i wish thirteen's era had covered more fully are the sheer weirdnesses in this body she regenerated into. why did she regenerate with brown hair that was already half-dyed blonde? how did she have ear piercings as part of a fresh new body? in what world does it make sense for her newly regenerated body to have cleanly shaven legs? thirteen has all these little feminine things going the second she appears, and it's never noticed within the show. and while i guess the masculine-presenting doctors also had little weirdnesses (Ten freshly regenerated with hair gel already applied), it feels more noticeable when the alien doctor falls in so hard with the very specific beauty trends of twenty-first century earth, in every element.

idk i just think having a female doctor could have been room for such growth, but these unspoken little markers that require work and choice being shown as innate and present the minute the doctor appears female strikes me as...i dunno, like guys who think women only look right if they're wearing makeup? like the female-presentation shtick women go through is in any way natural. the thirteenth doctor often seems surprised to be labeled a woman, and yet she's wearing eyeliner. who put that on?

#i feel like i'm not discussing this as clearly as i like...and i don't want to offend anyone or imply that eyeliner is only a woman's thing #eyeliner/ear piercings/etc. but it stands out to me that the only time we see the doctor lean into them heavily is when she's suddenly in #a female body? i feel like chibs' assumptions show up a little hard there #im just. sad that my mad little alien suddenly subscribes to modern earth beauty standards the second she appears #which i guess the masc doctors did too! but because masculine beauty standards are more in line w being natural theyre less noticeable #someone help me. something something feminism #doctor who #thirteen #thirteenth doctor #dw analysis #(kind of. mostly just. uhh. wondering why the doctor has to be pretty)

This dude drew a female character in a sexy bunny bikini costume and was surprised at the backlash he got, and was like “why can’t a female character be badass AND SEXY??? 😭”

The thing is, the idea of a female character being sexy and badass isn’t a new or revolutionary concept. Show me a badass female character in mainstream media who is a masculine, linebacker built butch woman, and I’ll show you 50 sexy, badass heroines. I guess my answer to anyone is to like what you like, but when you ask “why can’t a character be badass AND sexy” the answer is that they already are, overwhelmingly, and some people are beginning to get tired of that trope. Not only is the idea not a new one, it’s actually harmful to women in general. I’d personally be more impressed by an ugly female character, or even an average one, or even one with normal human proportions.
