you know what? normalize ruthlessly mocking men’s interests completely unprovoked the same way they’ve spent years mocking pumpkin spice lattes and pop music and animal crossing and the sims and every other completely harmless thing women often enjoy. I Love Revenge
I think the fact that as a society we are trying to deconstruct the idea that makeup is inherently feminine so that men can confidently wear makeup is becoming a bit misogynistic. For instance, if I were a man wearing makeup people would tell me that doesn't make me any less masculine and if anything it just shows I am confident in my masculinity. But in reality as a butch lesbian when I wear makeup it is immediately seen as feminine by the same people who say it isn't inherently feminine. I just find it to be a double standard and misogynistic for makeup to be allowed to be masculine on a man but suddenly if I wear makeup I'm obviously trying to be a femme lesbian.
I think some lesbians are worried about not looking queer enough and just looking like a boring guy and I'm sorry but there is nothing boring about female masculinity
Raphaël (Raffaello Sanzio) (Italian, 1483-1520)
The Miraculous Draught of Fishes for the Sistine Chapel, ca.1515-16
This Cartoon depicts one of the founding moments of Christianity – when the Jewish fisherman Simon, later renamed Peter, is called to be an apostle (or disciple) of Jesus Christ (Luke 5:1-11).
Simon, wearing a blue tunic, is kneeling before Christ. He has been fishing unsuccessfully on the Lake of Gennesaret in the Sea of Galilee. Jesus tells him to cast his nets into deep water, which produces such a large catch that the boat overflows with fish. Simon exclaims that he is unworthy of such a miracle. Jesus raises his hand in blessing and replies, "Fear not; from henceforth thou shalt catch men", announcing the role that Simon would now have in helping to spread the Christian faith.
As soon as you start feeling like an extension of another person that is when you know that you need to get out. If you only exist in someone's life to fulfill the parts of them they feel they cannot fill, they do not see you as a friend, they see you as an asset. Don't settle for friends who treat you like you're an investment.
