i cannot get mad at myself for not being good at answering texts and dms n emails n returning phone calls when i know in my heart that human beings were never meant to receive this much correspondence. even half as much would make you a busy person. like its ridiculous what we’re all doing to each other. smash your phones
bc ours did nd I never thought much of it as a kid but know I’m thinking about it and it feels kinda gross? so pls tell me if this experience was universal or not it will haunt me forever otherwise
the pros that come with being thinner now and shaving my legs are that it’s rly easy to do the back of my leg but the cons are with my knees and ankles being bony its so much easier to Scrampe Them
okay but do you understand that liz wallace made the bechdel-WALLACE test because she was a dyke who wanted to go to movies and pretend the characters were dykes and her friend alison bechdel happened to put her silly little litmus assessment into a comic strip and then the rest of everyone else decided it was a bona fide way of means testing media for Feminist Content? do you know that? it doesn’t sound like you know that
some of you are the dumbest motherfuckers alive
i am going to explain the bechdel test for people such as those in the tags
here is the original comic strip:
what the bechdel-wallace test is not:
an academic analysis of media
a bar that determines whether or not a movie is “bad” or “good” (by which i mean if a movie doesn’t pass the bechdel-wallace test that doesn’t make it bad, and if a movie passes the test the movie is not automatically good)
supposed to be taken seriously
what the bechdel-wallace test is:
a personal litmus test created by a lesbian who was, presumably, frustrated with the fact that women could not exist in the movie without a relationship to a man
it is not a way to “police what women speak about” because it does not apply to real people. it applies to fictional characters. also, the bechdel-wallace test does not stipulate that there can be no conversation about a male love interest. the women just have to talk about something other than a male love interest.
the reason the male love interest stipulation is there is because like… this test was created by a butch lesbian woman to determine whether or not she wanted to watch a movie. removing that part of the test violates the spirit of the test. it’s silly because it’s not supposed to be serious.
tl;dr stop misinterpreting the bechdel-wallace test you losers. op is right. goodbye
