See the thing is that performing femininity DOES empower women. Most women are very aware that they are treated better when they wear makeup and dress femininely. But no man is afraid of eyeliner “sharp enough to kill a man”. No woman ever got a job over a man because she was wearing heels and he wasn’t. But women have lost opportunities and been treated like shit for not doing those things.
Female empowerment through performing femininity does not give women power over men. It gives women power over other women. That fucking sucks.
The father’s artistic talent is clearly on display here, but I’m actually really impressed with this kid’s wild imagination. Many of his drawings are both conceptually unique and coherent.
(white) people on my aou post: aou isn’t that bad, what about ragnarok???
me: i don’t? understand? what the fuck? you mean?
oh we’re still doing this “ragnarok made thor and loki look stupid” thing
things ragnarok did:
- reinvent thor as being a more relatable and fun character with a far more extensive power set as well as making him the star of his own goddamn movie for once without worry about some other character overshadowing him and established that his arcs from the first two movies were realized in the form of him assuming control of his powers on odin’s level – asserting his ultimate worthiness
- introduce valkyrie
- give heimdall more than two minutes of screentime
- destroy asgard
- reintroduce hulk with the ability to speak and show emotion beyond smashing things
- fuck colonialist lives! korg is skinny!
- contain good and funny jokes
- was directed by the mcu’s first director of color
- fix loki’s sad broody boy problem
- make fun of thor: the dark world
ragnarok is one of the best marvel movies for the “prisoners with jobs” joke alone, fuck y’all, unclench
its appropriating DD/LG culture and making fun of it, which invalidates our experiences! we didnt choose to have this kink and haha just kidding but could you fucking imagine.
god every time this meme comes up it gives me so much fucking whiplash
