the intensity of the rage men direct at harmless girls doing harmless things would be hysterical if it wasn’t so terrifying
seriously, search “VSCO girl” on any search engine or social media site. at best, it’s cruel mockery. it rapidly devolves into threats of violence against teenage girls for… wearing scrunchies and putting stickers on their water bottles.
i have a theory that “VSCO girls” are hated in particular because there’s nothing sexy about it. it’s almost deliberately unsexy, with the crocs and the oversized t-shirts and no makeup. it’s childlike without appealing to a pedophilic gaze. it prioritizes female friendship.
it’s also cute as heck. you go girls. drink your water. be environmentally conscious. have strong, close friendships with other women. wear comfy clothes. take care of your skin and hair. make your life beautiful, celebrate (nonsexual) beauty.
u ever wear fingerless gloves and hold a hot drink and immediately feel like a 1900s victorian urchin taking a break from pickpocketing to gratefully accept a meal from the soup kitchen
i love people who remodel generated villages in minecraft cause like, imagine some random dude flies into your town one day, replaces your roof and gives you a flower pot then just… flies away without saying anything
me, crouched down in front of my tomato plants, examining a pattern of insect bites on their lower leaves: i’m going to fucking kill whoever did this. i’m going to kill them for you. don’t worry, babies. I’m going to murder every single son of a bitch who ever got a mouthful of you. they’ll die screaming
my neighbor, who i did not realize was also outside, standing behind the fence: oh! okay. you’re talking to the plants. okay.
