mainstream media does not allow women the full spectrum of emotion. it does not allow women to wear practical clothing. it does not allow women to be muscular/tough/brooding/bitter/protective/fierce in the way men are allowed.
and it doesn’t allow men the full spectrum of emotion, either. it doesn’t allow men to take pride in personal ornamentation. it doesn’t allow men to be gentle/kind/supportive/affectionate/in need of rescuing.
no one is allowed to be truly human.
and I think we need to really acknowledge the way in which that fucks us all up.
this is getting a lot of notes really fast, woah!
