There Is A Huge Difference Between Criticizing An Institution And Criticizing Individual Behavior. I

there is a huge difference between criticizing an institution and criticizing individual behavior. i can criticize the makeup industry without criticizing the 14 year old girl who uses concealer because she’s self-conscious about her acne; i can criticize the plastic surgery industry without vilifying the woman who decided to get a nose job after two decades of pointed comments and bullying. it is intellectually dishonest to respond to an institutional criticism as if it were a personal attack; on the flip side, it is cruel and unnecessary to leverage personal attacks in the name of institutional criticism

if i see one (1) more person respond to a perfectly reasonable beauty-industry-critical sentiment with “but i personally enjoy eyeshadow. why are you attacking people who like eyeshadow :(” or “exactly, all women who wear makeup are miserable and brainwashed” i am going to climb a tree and bite the top of it

Honestly, yeah. Maybe I’m more interested in them because I always go for the side ships, but I just think they’re just way more interesting (btw, that doesn’t mean I hate Wangxian or anything)

Xiyao is a more interesting and compelling ship than Wangxian

Barbie made me cry, Part idk what

So, there are so many reasons why I cried during the Barbie movie, but the one scene that really made me tear up was the scene where Barbie meets the old woman at the bus stop (?) and tells her that she’s beautiful and she just answers with “I know it.” To me, this scene made me cry, because there are so many women in my life that I look up to and regard as INCREDIBLY beautiful, but by the societies norms, they aren’t beautiful at all. Because they are “too old” or “not slim enough” or don’t have a face that would be titled “pretty” or “beautiful” and some of the women that I’m talking about in this post even think of themselves like that. So every time I hear them say such things about themselves and every time I hear some stupid person on the internet talking about how some celebrity isn’t slim enough or young enough anymore, I just want to tell all the women in the world just how beautiful they are. How inspiring they are to me, how I love their grey or white hair, their wrinkles and their larger bodies, how I love their unique faces and their beautiful smiles and how I would like to punch everyone who ever told them that they aren’t beautiful or pretty or any of that.

That’s why his scene made me so emotional. Because Barbie told that beautiful old woman, exactly what I want to tell so many women in my life and because that old woman KNEW that she’s beautiful and that she doesn’t need to be young or thin to be just that.

Yeah, I know this post is long and not a lot of people are going to read all of it, but if you did read it, please just tell the women around you just how beautiful and important they are, because our society just loves to diminish anything that isn’t traditionally beautiful and that is simply a crime.
