I’m like the luckiest girl in the world. I’ve gotten to be a princess, I’ve gotten to work with the Muppets. A lot of my childhood dreams about who I wanted to be when I was a grown-up, I at least get to play them in movies.
listen remember that one clone wars ep, and this scene happened? at first i thought he was talking about himself and this just came to mind okay dON’T EVEN LOOK IN MY DIRECTION
So we’re teaching girls to be anxious wrecks and boys to disregard the possibility of consequences for incautious behavior.
This explains a lot of things. Like… why women are anxious wrecks and men are frequently surprised when it turns out their actions do in fact have consequences.
And why men don’t bother asking for help even when they really need it, and thus more frequently die from treatable health conditions (including depression), while women end up getting a broad stereotype of being hypochondriacs (and then having a hard time getting treatment for legitimate health concerns).
you can enjoy something and still recognize that, objectively, there are severe problems and predatory practices going on by the company that sold you that something. you can enjoy it and still recognize that those problems are inexcusable.
these things do not have to be mutually exclusive, and I truly don’t understand why people act like they are.
