‘Bill thinks everything is equally “in”—he’s not interested in deciding what is fashionable; he wants to reflect what is genuinely a trend on the street. Magazines are constantly telling us what we find fashionable. I feel like I am always seeing a headline like, “The pencil skirt is everywhere!” What they mean is, “Buy this pencil skirt from our advertisers to prove this headline right.” I sometimes feel exasperated by the amount of cover stories proclaiming whichever celebrity has a movie coming out to be “The Next Great Style Icon.” What they mean is, “Famous White Woman Leaves House in Well-Fitting Clothes, Please Do Not Steal Her Latest Movie From The Internet.”’

you know whats gross

that people w penises are generally v v educated about their bodies as kids like they know exactly whats gonna happen

but like for me i had no idea what vaginal discharge was and when i started getting it in 5th grade i was fucking petrified and i hear so many stories about little girls thinking that theyre dying because no one told them what a period was

idk thats just really fucking shitty that female anatomy is so taboo that we cant even properly educate kids

i hate when people say that women should dress more modestly in order to “leave something to the imagination”. leave what to the imagination? what do people think is under my clothes? a mass of algae? memes? shinji ikari?

maybe the last one idk
