This thing was a challenge and a half, ‘cause she’s only a toy character.

I only had a Fluttershy re-color to reference so I winged it (buh dum tsst) and just made up my own design.

Also, most purples and blues show up the worst with this technique so that’s why it sucks.

Superb!

Woman Photographs Herself Receiving Strange Looks in Public

“I now reverse the gaze and record their reactions to me while I perform mundane tasks in public spaces. I seek out spaces that are visually interesting and geographically diverse. I try to place myself in compositions that contain feminine icons or advertisements. Otherwise, I position myself and the camera in a pool of people…and wait.

The images capture the gazer in a microsecond moment where they, for unknowable reasons, have a look on their face that questions my presence. Whether they are questioning my position in front of the lens or questioning my body size, the gazer appears to be visually troubled that I am in front of them.”

Photographer: Haley Morris-Cafiero

Project: Wait Watchers

Thought this was actually really cool and I’d share it with you guys! Takes a lot to get up there and do something like this. Love it!

This is exactly what I was referring to in this post. This is a powerful set of photos.

And people wonder why I’m so paranoid all the time

“It’s easy to be considered a misandrist when men are socialized to feel entitled to women and our time. So, if you ignore them, you’re a misandrist. If you insist they leave you alone, you’re a misandrist. If you focus on building healthy female-centered relationships over relationships with men, you’re a misandrist. Misandry is basically, prioritizing your agency, autonomy and fellow women, over men in a society that teaches you that being feminine relies on giving into men’s feelings of entitlement.”

just a reminder

if you think that “masculine things” can be “gender-neutral” but that “feminine things” cannot be “gender-neutral” you need to pause and think a bit harder.

“3 percent of the decision-making in media comes from women. That means 97 percent of how women are portrayed is decided on by men.”

- Independent Lens, PBS
“Wonder Women! The Untold Story of American Superheroines” (via ihopeyoucontinue4ever)

It also means that 97 percent of how men are portrayed in media are decided on by men. Something to remind MRAs and their ilk of when they complain about the stereotype of men as inept slobs, bad fathers, etc in media and advertising.

Men have the power. So when we men are shat on by the powers that be you don’t get to try and blame women for that.

Are we really living in 2013? The Lego ads from the 1980s seem more modern to me.

If you want to find out more about the advent of Lego’s sexist advertising, I’d suggest this video by Feminist Frequency.

Wow.

This makes me so sad. That blonde girl? That could’ve been me. I had that set. If you give kids the space to imagine, they will imagine big - no matter the gender. If you stuff them in a box with only the “right” things, the’ll imagine a lot smaller.
