No-i-can-not-shut-up - Support Women’s Rights And Women’s Wrongs

hate how women being gnc is just her being normal and natural and human like not shaving hair, no makeup etc. but when a man is “gnc” he actually chooses to conform to another societal standard (wearing makeup, painting nails, etc)

Sometimes I feel like aggressively propagating naturalness.

Because what do you mean women go through vaginoplasty? 😭

What do you mean men convinced women that their vaginas can be too ‘big’ and therefore too ugly? The literal organ that helps to bring children into this world.

I want to cry when I think about this.

The desperation that those women must face, to go through such a surgery. All to be ‘normal’, ‘desirable’ to men and not picked on by them.

If I could I would hug them.

A reminder: There is nothing wrong with the body that you are born with, as long as it is not creating an existential threat to you. You are you. You don’t need to enhance yourself, because there is nothing wrong with you in the first place. Your nose is not to big. Your breasts are not too small. Your vagina is not ugly.

Your body is your temple. Please, love it. Accept it.

For yourself. Everyone else can go and get lost.

You can’t change your gender because gender is the social expectations placed on you by virtue of your sex e.g. femininity is the gender assigned to females.

You can’t change your sex because sex is an immutable part of your biology that extends down to the cellular level e.g. female is the term for a member of the sex that produces large gametes.

What you *can* do is wear whatever you want and act however you want and like whoever you want regardless of what anybody says and regardless of your gender and sex. That is truly radical.

HIYA.

So a lot has gone on in the last little bit. NASA recently was ordered to scrub their site of women's contributions to astronomy and astrophysics, even took down their page celebrating women's history month and all the contributions they've made to NASA. So I did a thing and crawled through the wayback machine to find some articles, and decided to put this right here because fuck the government, fuck the orange in charge who told them to scrub their site, and fuck NASA for throwing their people under the bus and bowing to this authoritarian nonsense. This version of the site still has articles on some important figures like Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a space shuttle, and ISS chief scientist Jennifer Buchli and chief deputy scientist Meghan Everett, who, in their words, "-provide the science strategy and make science recommendations for the International Space Station program, and help make sure all of the science on the International Space Station goes smoothly, from preparing for launch to conducting research on the space station with the scientists and astronauts and returning the science to Earth."

Unpopular opinion(s) concerning Rogue under the cut for spoilers:

(Feel free to ask if you want clarification on any of my opinions or have your own point of view, I’m always open to hearing multiple perspectives!)

1) It should have been a two parter.

It just felt to me like the relationship between the Doctor and Rogue was rushed? Maybe I just don’t like the Doctor being allo after years of being heavily Aroace + romance/sex repulsed coded, but they met for like a few hours tops and the Doctor is looking a wedding-adjacent ring and sighing?

Also, the bird monsters needed more time onscreen. They were cool and needed more background on their motivations/world/personalities. They don’t even have names! It should have been like the Slitheen, where they all have their own distinct identities despite having the same motivations. What we got was…bratty whiny bird woman 1, bratty whiny bird woman 2, bad boy bird man, the other bird man, and Emily. Though to be fair I liked the Emily twist.

2) I don’t understand Doctor/Rogue

Rogue is a bounty hunter. He kills people for a living. The Doctor despises unnecessary violence, and is even shown in the episode to disagree with Rogue’s methods, so why would they have him fall for Rogue? Why did he fall for Rogue anyways? Because they treat it like a serious emotional commitment for the Doctor rather than physical attraction (which is what it came across as for me.)

The Doctor doesn’t even approve of River’s overly violent behavior (Doctor/River is a whole other dislike of mine but that’s a different tangent) and she’s his wife. Maybe this is just me being salty about rushed romances that are treated as far more important than friendships (*cough* The Doctor wasting time flirting with Rogue when he knows full well that he’s just left Ruby in a space with murderous aliens *cough*)

Overall:

It was a meh episode to me. None of the episodes have really stood out to me other than the Devil’s Chord. Villains had no individual identities, weren’t super memorable. Bridgerton name drops got really annoying (Like hello?? The Doctor is canonically a Jane Austen fan and not one P&P reference??). Rogue was kind of interesting, but the rushed romance and the sudden heel face turn of him becoming self sacrificing and selfless really came out of nowhere ngl.

5/10 imo
