Fucked up how women are expected to preform femininity to such an unreasonable, expensive and time consuming degree right now. Obviously that’s been an aspect of patriarchy forever but theres a late capitalist spin on it in our current period that’s just so extreme and unrealistic.. I feel like this is something people don’t see as getting worse but in, say, the 70s it was totally normal for women to go outside without foundation on. The degree to which women are expected to compete with other women in the amount of money and unpaid time they spend on their appearance every day has accelerated along with the acceleration and of global capitalism in general

There’s a massive feminist movement erupting in South Korea right now where women are posting pictures of their destroyed makeup collections in protest of the massive amounts of sacrifice they’re expected to make towards conventional beauty just to be employed or viewed as normal. I know liberals like to talk about this stuff being a choice but when thousands of people are saying that it ISN’T a choice for them, and is in fact something they feel cornered into that’s actively harming them, that’s something worth listening to

the way americans are obsessed with the fuckin military is terrifying. I work as a cashier so I occasionally have to ask for donations for whatever the cause of the moment is. people will donate all the fuckin time to the troops but not only will they ignore homeless children, but they joke about it. they’re over here like “haha I have my own hungry children to feed” or “they should be donating to me I’m hungry” or other just straight up stupid unnecessary shit and it’s cruel, joking about homeless fuckin children. yet the mere mention of troops and they’re throwing all their money at me. these people are glorified murderers and americans eat that shit up and worship the ground they walk on. the brainwashing is un-fuckin-real
