One day when i have time to deal with inevitable backlash I will write a post about how actually Taylor Kelly is one of the most compelling minor characters on 911 with a heartbreaking backstory that fully explains (but doesn’t excuse) why she does the things she does and ALSO that i think she & Lucy Donato should be in lesbians together

#classic case of leaving the guy who cheated on you for the girl he cheated with tbh #i have so many thoughts but most of them revolve around how buck betrays her first #& even though we know why he does it (hello abandonment issues)#Taylor’s betrayal /also/ stems from her abandonment issues and the fact that she’ll never know the truth of what happened to her mother #so she feels obligated to share every other truth she can find (even though it will never be enough)#something something i support women’s wrongs #taylor kelly #lucy donato #911 abc

Just a reminder that trans people, you aren't betraying anybody by transitioning. You aren't disappointing women, or men, or whomever because you have decided to transition. This is a personal decision, and if somebody put so much stake into your gender that they feel betrayed by you when they were wrong, that is (frankly) not your problem.

You aren't betraying anybody.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #saw a post and this trans guy felt as though he was betraying women by continuing to be a woman in STEM and like...#...why do we owe people that? why do *you* owe them that?#i get why i totally get why. it's just frustrating to see because it isn't their fault but also they don't deserve to feel like they're...#...BETRAYING a whole gender. like does anybody else see how ridiculous that sounds?#how is gender that fragile that we can BETRAY it by transitioning???? like that's wacky to me #so besties... you are betrating nobody by transitioning. you never have. you just *weren't* that gender #if people started seeing transition as embracing who we are rather than BETRAYAL that would do wonders

wait i think actually madeline miller's circe is the heir to margaret atwood's penelopiad, unintentionally, in the way it thematizes the impossibility of real solidarity among women.

bc it's such a major part of the penelopiad how penelope creates what she thinks is a real community, a sort of family, with these young women in her household only be to reminded and continue to reinforce that they are slaves over whom she (among others) holds the power of life and death. and penelope ultimately does not or cannot hold a lasting grudge against odysseus on their behalf. she aligns herself, or circumstances force her to align herself, with odysseus instead of with other women whose positions are even more dangerous than hers. the world they live in does not allow solidarity between women across lines of class and enslavement, and penelope is also complicit in maintaining that world and her place in it.

and then the thing i found so frustrating about circe was that at every turn miller forecloses the possibility of real connections between women-- but the thing in this world that prevents that is just, like, jealousy over men. and totally needlessly. the other nymphs are prettier. glaucus loves scylla and not circe. her mom never liked her. hermes doesn't really think she's hot. athena is a rival for odysseus' attention. and the book doesn't do anything with this, it's not due to structural power imbalances or a society built on enslavement or even how patriarchy pits women against each other (circe lives alone on an island outside of society that could be another writer's lesbian separatist utopia!), it's just that circe doesn't like other women and they don't like her. end of story.

much as i don't love what atwood does with helen, it does make sense in the context of the penelopiad! thematically and in terms of characterization. atwood's penelope has internalized this idea of what it means to be a good woman and, willingly or not, she's staked everything on being seen by men as a good woman. it makes sense that she's desperately trying to pull herself up or even just cling to what little she has by dragging other women down. she does to helen what she ultimately does to the maids. she's with and for odysseus, always, not helen, and not the maids. that's the kind of world she lives in, and while she likes to think that she's resisting it with a sort of radical female community, in the end she is its agent. even if she feels bad about it. she's here to tell a story about odysseus, not about the girls he killed.

#makes me think of how emily wilson translates φιλη Ευρυκλεια as 'the slave who loved her master' or something similiar #which is the same sort of characterization atwood gives eurycleia. an enslaved woman who puts her master above other slaves and other women #and on the one hand of course she does! that's how she survives! can you blame her?#she lives in a society that pushes her at every turn to betray her fellow enslaved women!#but on the other hand it's still sad and somehow you can blame her #mine #reception #retellings #i think i finally get the penelopiad now. after reading the novel twice and seeing the play three times.#long post

Rewatching succession it really is wild to see Kendall and Shiv convince themselves over and over again that they can "fix ATN/Waystar from the inside" only to completely abandon their morals the minute it gives them a strategic advantage.

When they're on the outside it's an endless diatribe about how evil and rotten the company is to its core, but the second they get the slightest whiff of power they suddenly decide the problems are actually really manageable and that with the right leadership it could be a force for good, and like...the saddest part is that they genuinely seem to believe that.

#where's that crime and punishment quote about how the worst thing is that you've betrayed yourself for nothing...#and they really seem to think its true! they genuinely believe that they can turn it around and make it good! it's not an act!#kendall really thinks he's a feminist and 'one of the good ones' and shiv really does think she stands with/for women and liberal #ideals and the truth is that no matter how much they might care about those things they will always love power more and they #are infinitely more invested in the power structures that keep injustice alive than they are in actually trying to stop injustice #roman is the only one who's actually aware and honest about how fucked it all is but he thinks that means everything's bullshit and #therefore nothing matters. which can be just as dangerous as convincing yourself you're the good guy (see: america decides)#that's one of the things i like so much about the ending for shiv and kendall bc they're finally forced to confront the lies they've been #telling themselves. and like. maybe that'll go nowhere. maybe they won't change. but they might. and the only hope they have #of actually growing as people and maybe doing something good is if that illusion gets shattered #idk man i just have so many thoughts about succession #succession #shiv roy #kendall roy

I think Slay the Princess is so popular partially because the *gets stabbed* "I'm in love" reaction is both intentional on the part of the developers and then they completely follow through on it.

#slay the princess #me @ the Razor: I love you so much and you're so hot and funny and– *gets stabbed again*#and then! the little Voices agree that they're kinda into it too! fantastic game! A+! kill me again beautiful woman!#they managed to make even the Princess's most terrifying grotesque forms the most beautiful fictional women I've ever seen #while never sacrificing the horror elements. if anything the horror and gore and monstrosity makes her even more attractive #like they get it. the inherent eroticism of being trapped in a time loop made with the sole purpose of getting one of us to kill the other #and then killing and hurting and dying and struggling together over and over and over until finally breaking free #she hurts us and we are but a receptacle for the pain. she hunts us like prey and swallows us whole. we beat each other to #death for the thrill of it and keep on going long past when we should've died. she torments us until our heart stops from terror.#we see her as a dominating goddess and she becomes one. she knows what our organs look like. her bloated corpse once drowned us.#we lie at the foot of the stairs to freedom with broken backs because we betrayed her so badly she could only betray us in turn #and don't even get me started on the amazing intimacy/violation of the Spectre/Wraith possession stuff #and we (both the player and the Long Quiet) love her for it and through it

This chapter hits harder when I realized what the assault attempt of the brides to Jonathan meant if we take his expressed love, safety, and comfort for the feminine.

Jonathan has been expressing how the mere idea of being in a room in which a lady was writing letters gives him a sense of calm. He looks up to the fictional heroines of his novels to give him strenght, and ideas in order to survive Dracula's façade. Jonathan comforts himself in the memory of Mina, and his love for her. He even goes out of his way to disobey the Count, and sleep in the unlocked room, why?

Because Jonathan feels safe in the ladies' chamber. He has the themes of a gothic heroine, so Jonathan is comforted when he is sure that he is surrounded by the soft, and protective femininity, instead of being within the grasp of Dracula's aggresive masculinity.

"I determined not to return to-night to the gloom-haunted rooms, but to sleep here, where, of old, ladies had sat and sung and lived sweet lives whilst their gentle breasts were sad for their menfolk away in the midst of remorseless wars."

"I want to get away from the Count, and this ladies' room is unlocked. It's old yet beautiful because women have lived and loved here. So, if I stay here, hidden, with the memories, and ghosts of these ladies as company I feel safe, and away from that man."

And then, the brides appear in front of him. Jonathan recalls the incident on his journal with fear, and rage, yet there is a point of his writing prose in which he stops his fear, and instead feels... Sad.

The brides appear, and the first thing that Jonathan calls them is ladies. The strong adjectives that he used with Dracula are gone to give room to a softer tone to describe their appearances. How Jonathan admits that he felt attracted to them, with shame since he feels he is betraying Mina. The way Jonathan immediately starts to use words like "repulsive" and "animal" when he realizes that the brides are going to do what Dracula has been implying for a long time.

How Jonathan passed out of horror when he realized that the brides were going to kill a child.

The femininity that Jonathan loved, and felt comfort in is now tainted by the monsterhood of the brides. He realized that not all women are going to be soft, and give protection to the unprotected, how these vampire ladies would have killed him if not for the Count arriving. If Jonathan can't go to the brides, and their femininity for safety, then the Count and his masculinity is the only thing that is keeping him safe.

"As I look round this room, although it has been to me so full of fear, it is now a sort of sanctuary, for nothing can be more dreadful than those awful women, who were—who are—waiting to suck my blood."

Jonathan is now alone, without anything to comfort him, and the Count has him exactly where he wanted him to be.

#Jonathan realizing that the brides are monsters just like Dracula must have hit him like a truck #He has the assumptions that women are protectors and kind and give warmth #But these women do not care #The want to treat him the same way the Count treats him #I wonder if he feels weirdly betrayed by the brides in the sense of ''I am in the same situation as you were why are you attacking me?''#dracula daily #dracula #jonathan harker #brides of dracula

How dare feminists center women’s struggles and define male oppression from the root lol. Feminists too smol brained to understand dialectical materialism. Feminism is a device of division that should be stopped. Feminism is . . . uh . . . racist. Feminists don’t understand women’s liberation or class struggle. Even the Marxist feminists are just uh . . . revisionists because Marx and Engels were already pure and perfect feminists with pure and perfect analysis

Women whining about their oppression is dividing the proletariat. Women don’t deserve their own political party that centers them lmao? There’s uh, working class struggles we all have to fix first! Then women will be free! If we were all just commies and marxists and people just understood that capitalism and imperialism (male-created) were abolished, men would be nicer and normal to women and women’s issues would evaporate! Because that’s worked so well before! Obvi!

feminists women are so stupid and don’t understand anything

feminism has done nothing for actual people men

#radblr #feminism #marxfem #how are we feeling marxfems?#radical feminism #every man ever going “trust me bro we’re different I promise it will be different if you just gave us systemic power not all men bro”#“let me hold that feminism for you bro you’re not doing it right”#“fight for our cause first and then we’ll fight for yours you need us bro trust me bro we’ll definitely make women liberated”#“your fight is our fight bro just focus on us and you’ll see our win is your win”#“it’s not patriarchy that created the bourgeois it’s the bourgeois that created patriarchy I promise”#“women organizing themselves to ally specifically with women after being betrayed by men in every political movement is stupid bro”#“men are historically fair and just”#“men are not a political party lol what a crazy concept bro”
