White Cis Fat Queer Woman
I enjoy Doctor Who and people with privilege not being fucking awful. My blog will be full of both these things, as well as pictures of cats. I also run a fat-positive health blog.
Feel free to come to my askbox! Just know I keep anonymous off because nothing makes trolls more angry than not being able to hide behind greyface. But if I fuck up, you can absolutely call me on it. I will apologize and strive not to do it again.

The Wretched of the Earth: I'm so sick of people ignoring power relations between women and men
If you ignore power relations, you will end up with totally shallow, inaccurate analysis.
Like calling women ugly vs. men ugly. Calling men ugly can obviously be hurtful to men’s self-esteem and can be a bullying tactic. However, the difference is that men are never reduced to their appearances. Men know that they don’t need to be attractive. It might result in self-esteem problems, but it generally won’t affect your life chances and how you are treated if you are a man. It tends to have far-reaching consequences for women since women are “supposed” to be beautiful.
Men know this. It’s mirrored and reproduced in real life and in the media. Men earn more money on average (at least in comparison to women who are of the same race as them) and can trade (economic, social, cultural) capital for women who are beautiful. Even men who have absolutely nothing to offer end up with gorgeous, amazing women who are out of their league (particularly in the media).
Women, on the other hand, are reduced to objects all the time. Objects to be put on display, objects to be acquired, objects to dispose of. There are entire industries built upon preying on women’s low self-esteem. There are entire industries that rely upon objectifying and commodifying images of women that normalize, elevate, and perpetuate unrealistic standards. If women are fat, they’re not worth dating and if they do, are a “risk” to bet on. If an award-winning, successful actress gets a double mastectomy due to her astronomical odds of developing breast cancer - well, she’s “trading a three pedal 911 for a prius”. There are plenty of studies that show that you earn more as a woman for being conventionally attractive - for wearing makeup, for having blonde hair, for being thin, and so forth (and these penalties rarely extend to men).
Men constantly reduce women to their looks. Women are not deemed to be worth a damn unless they fit within conventional beauty standards. Women are constantly denied humanity by men for not following into their preferences and personal standards of beauty see, “real women have curves”, “I like all natural girls”, etc.
