Sweeping: meditative, satisfying, overall pleasant enough that i would classify it as more of a hobby than a household chore

Vacuuming: physically/psychically painful, seems like a weird 1950s fad, murdering mother gaia

basing your self love on skincare is a horrible ass thing to do

like tbh imo your self love shouldn’t be rooted in anything capitalistic…yes we use certain things and buy certain things (like bath bombs etc etc) to wind down or look better (etc skincare shit) and that is not my point bc that’s okay, literally no one can separate themselves from capitalism and the shit helps sometimes. but when you base your self love on it? that’s when it becomes an issue.

self love is about the SELF and loving yourself no matter what you look like or what you have, self love is about loving who you are at your core. and skincare companies don’t want you to do that bc then you’d stop buying their products. they’ll always create something new to pique your interest and find another problem area for you to be upset with. there is no finding peace in capitalism and trying to make it seem that way is harmful to yourself.

so, Gigi Hadid gets ASSAULTED??? by some horrible dude, he picks her up (in public!) and manhandles her and touches her without permission (and you can see if you slow down the vid that he also touched her private places so!! he didn’t just pick her up without permission, he also did that which makes it even worse) and she elbows him in the face DESERVEDLY while her useless bodyguards stand around and then hold her back after she tries to go after him (because the coward ran away after she fought back) and WHAT???? the media attacks her??? they call him a ‘fan’ and a prankster and say she lashed out at him…WOW
i’m so glad she defended herself, i’m so proud of her, i’m so glad the moment was filmed because you can see everything that has happened and hopefully they will catch him!!! and i’m so glad people are jumping to her defense because the tabloids painted her out to be some angry girl that can’t take a joke while the literal video shows what actually happened and that her actions were completely justified

The point at which men feel compelled to make a separate, masculine fandom name for themselves, the better to differentiate themselves from other, presumably female fans inhabiting the same space, is the point at which they feel their gender to be not only relevant to their expression of fandom, but so important that it needs its own word, lest we confuse them with women.

The fact that men seem only to be interested in doing this on entering traditionally or predominantly female fandoms says a lot about the logic behind it. Where fans are presumed to be male, there’s no need to assert their maleness with a masculine name; where fans are presumed to be female, however, they strive to differentiate themselves, not only to void the risk of being mistaken for women, but to rebrand the actual property as being for men. 

If such men were genuinely interested in disproving gender binaries and the sort of sexist logic that tries to steer their tastes in other directions, as is sometimes claimed, they wouldn’t feel the need to establish that the thing they like has masculine properties, as though they couldn’t or wouldn’t like it otherwise. This isn’t like the oft-ignored female fans of comics and videogames asserting, rightly, that such things are for everyone, which category happens to include them; it’s men expressly stating that an originally or traditionally feminine property isn’t really feminine, the better to make it for men.   

Following this logic, female-dominated fandoms are only worth joining if men can make absolutely sure that their support isn’t confused with female support, or their interests with female interests, the better to assert their more selective ownership of the property. Crucially, this move also has the effect of forcing women to either accept the gendering of the fandom and adopt their own, feminine nomenclature – possibly one the men themselves have created, heedless of the fact that it was irrelevant prior to their insistence that it wasn’t, as per the term pegasister – or to refuse the binary and so have the male term become synonymous with the fandom as a whole, as though male interest is the only kind that matters.

tl;dr: If you’re a guy and your first thought on approaching a new fandom is “how do I make a name that describes my interest in this thing while letting everyone know that I’m a dude”, then do us all a favour and stay the fuck out of it.
