why do people always pull hip-hop and rap as a misogynist area of music? yes, many rappers are misogynistic, but it’s not the only genre. let’s talk about country music, about the preacher’s daughter trope, the cutoff jeans, the get-her-drunk mentality; let’s talk about pop music, about the drugs and the clubs and the possessive “love songs”; let’s talk about alternative music, about “she’s not like other girls” and the manic pixie dream girl; let’s talk about classical music, about the exclusion of women now and in history.
let’s talk about how everyone’s first reaction is to villainize a primarily black genre before criticizing literally anyone else.
better lion king plot: nala murders scar herself, becomes the most respected and powerful queen in lion history, no one ever finds simba
you think this might be sad for simba but listen: he was perfectly happy in his tiny tropical paradise with his gay dads. nala is clearly the superior leader. shed probably lead the lion/hyena democracy. everyone is happy in this situation
and of course, nala has like 9 girlfriends. all is well
People need to stop glorifying stretch marks and fat rolls. You can tell people their beautiful all you want, but you know what's beautiful? VS models. Tell your followers to get some coco butter or lazor surgery to look like them. Stop romantisizing imperfections.
photos not mine - found on google images under “vs models untouched”
Guess what kiddos? Skin isn’t plastic/rubber! When you move it will stretch, or bunch, or pull, or roll. It’s what skin does!! And marks happen -to everyone-
There is nothing wrong with those who want to get cosmetic surgery, because it’s what will make them happy.
But that “Stop romanticizing imperfections“ bullshit isn’t applicable. It’s not romanticizing imperfections, it’s accepting the body for how it is naturally, and realizing that it’s okay to exist and to love yourself as you are, without having to live up to other people’s ideals of ‘perfect’ photoshopped beauty.
