I love that Hozier didn't do a music video for Too Sweet, which could have been pretty and fun, but instead does a music video for the political song that is closer to his heart. I love that he dropped all subtlety with symbols and visuals so everyone can understand his message clearly. I love that he is anti-war and anti-captalist and that he made a song and video that can not be misinterpreted as cottage core bogman. Go Hozier!

tomboyism is so funny to me. gender non-conformity for girls is acceptable for like two minutes between the ages of 8 and 10. beyond that it’s appalling and you’re a freak but for those two years…… they could’ve had it all
a relationship should be fifty-fifty. She lays me gently in the cold dark earth and I crawl home to her.
The only thing that can fix me is attending university at Takshashila in the 6th century BCE. Nothing else will suffice.
I would not change it each time
Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I

Throughout our entire adolescence women will be adultified. Told that we are ‘more mature’ than our male peers. More responsible, more reliable. We’ll be given tasks and responsibilities that are not expected of our brothers and barely expected of our fathers. The oldest daughter will start to clean and cook and take on child care duties for siblings. We listen to mother’s emotional outbursts of pain because ‘we just get it.’
And when a sixteen year old starts dating a man who’s been out of high-school as long or longer than she’s been there, this rhetoric can be used as justification. “Well she’s actually more mature than he is” her mother titters with a laugh. “He’s the only boy on her level” her father says sagely.
And I ask; how is the sixteen year old girl ‘more mature’ than the adult man who has years worth of life experience, the right to vote, drive a car and purchase liquor? What experiences, privileges, rights or understandings does the high schooler have on this man?
The answer is nothing she is simply more mature by virtue of being female. And isn’t that just so convenient for predatory men.
Why do girls mature faster than boys?
We don’t
Men just need a reason to justify expecting and extracting more from us earlier on in our lives.
