i’m torn about this image. on the one hand, it feels true. but i also used a text translator to figure out what it says:
вот так и встретились
деградация и ванять
That’s how we met - degradation and vanity
so this got me thinking … is it really a degradation? i’m torn about this, because i tend to think that women are the best creatures in existence, so it’s more of an improvement than a degradation. on the other hand, does this view maybe fall short of the universal approach that i try to have about all my ideas? what if it is not universally true that women are better, but only my personal view? what if somebody else can have a legitimately different viewpoint? and what if “vanity” is indeed the ulterior motive? is vanity an acceptable quality in this fast-moving world?
what’s your thoughts about this?
Patriarchy systematically defines men as default humans and women as lesser ones. Doing X like a girl is always an insult. In a patriarchal society, a man which embraces his femininity degrades his status. A feminine man is tainted. The patriarchal concepts of men and women carry specific characteristics. Men are confident, dominant, strong, dangerous. Women are caring, calm, forgiving, vain. I attach much more value towards characteristics traditionally understood as feminine so I could say women are better… but I don’t because fuck patriarchy, fuck gender norms & fuck sexism. Be queer, do crimes~
