Finally watched 'Barbie'.
I understand its success with people (read cis-women) who are not necessarily active or educated when it comes to feminist issues. It's a good conversation starter but nothing more.

I'm not the only one pointing out the problems: 'Barbieland' version of feminism excluding men, men enjoying patriarchy as if toxic masculinity didn't exist (blink & you won't get the 1 line when Allan complains about it), to defeat patriarchy you have to manipulate men bc they're incapable of empathy for women's struggle...
It's a very binary movie & pretty 'corporate' in its vision of feminism. It's a Mattel production, they clearly avoided anything related to actual sexuality, periods, gender...

As for Gosling's Best Actor nomination it's a fucking joke.
Not his fault, Kens' characters are awfully written: 'Be good looking & mentally limited because that's what men are ha ha ha'.
Even Will Ferrel's character has more emotional range and depth, not to mention Robbie's.

I never did an #introduction and I keep hitting the character limit on my profile blurb, so:

I'm Michele Ann Jenkins aka Maj.
I was federated before it was cool and have just been biding my time on FB and Reddit until a critical mass happened somewhere better and now here we are!

I am equally interested in anachronisms, futurism, and current events. In all timelines, looking to listen & learn from a diversity of voice and lived experiences.

Ever evolving tag cloud because I keep being reminded of other interests:

A thing I realized pretty recently is that all the attributes of femininity (the looks, the postures, the clothes) have to be learned. "What (heterosexual) men like" is a complete fiction that women have to decide to buy into at great cost (time and money) or else face intense social shame.

This is why I'm equally respectful of the women who buy into the femme aesthetics, moves and fashion, than the ones who do not. Both these stances have an associated hefty cost, there's no default/inherent/neutral/passive femininity that can be a non-choice.

And if Biden wasn't unpopular enough, he invited a Troon to the White House to help celebrate "Lesbian Invisibility Day"

Biden's idea of a "Lesbian" is biological male and lunatic Charlotte Clymer, Transgender Activist, Military Veteran, and Board Member and Richard "Rachel" Levine Assistant Secretary for Health.

The first time ever the majority of individual present at a "Lesbian" event had penises. Way to go Joe. Just as
"Any Blue will Do" any dick will do to represent Lesbians.
