7 Beauty Products that Make Me Feel Like a Better Feminist

This is the worst thing I’ve ever read and to compound the issue she’s into Andrea Dworkin.

Also I think this may be the straw that broke the camel’s back with me and the term feminist.  Like the word already is a problem for me in a lot of ways, considering educational background is the largest factor in determining whether a woman self-identifies as a feminist and working class women often feel alienated by the term and I just feel like instead of attempting to redefine terms that already exist and create confusion and make it so you have to go through the effort of getting people to not think of the original meaning of the term when you say it is kinda “eh” when you can just come up with a new term.

So In Women Without Class By Julie Bettie

It’s interesting how the fact that people often mistake working class girl’s class membership identity signifiers as signifiers of sexual availability and promiscuity.  When in fact they have very little to do with sexual signifying, like the working class girls’ tight clothes and heavy makeup were to indicate which group of girls (and thereby which class) they belonged to, and it had very little to do with performing desirability and availability to boys.  In fact the working class girls were often less interested in heterosexual relationships and more likely to consider boys more trouble than they were worth.

I think a lot of these dudes who keep putting me on their porn blogs are seeing the stereotype of working class appearing women as hypersexual, and also not understanding the class identity part.  I mean also who does sex work?  Prole women.

Also you know how before the internet

A young fella interested in girls would masturbate to Cheetara or Poison Ivy or whoever, when he was first developing an interest in that sort of thing, before graduating to porno mags and what not.

Being a girl is like being stuck with Cheetara forever (but there’s like 89% less Cheetara in the world) because there is no Penthouse and then people make fun of you for all the pent up Cheetara fanart you look at, and you’re like “BUT THIS IS ALL I HAVE” (regardless of who you’re attracted to because finding decent porn if you’re a girl who likes girls still sucks and if you dig non-binary people… well you’re shit out of luck, you don’t even get Cheetara)
