Whenever I see breast cancer awareness campaigns that sexualize breasts/place the importance of breasts over the person suffering from breast cancer I remember this story I read on a cancer forum of a woman who had a double mastectomy and how a little after she got dropped off by her husband at the clinic for a checkup and he never came to pick her up, and how she eventually took a cab home and he had taken all his things and just LEFT
and multiple stories from other women who had mastectomies and how their husbands either left them, cheated on them, or were no longer attracted to them because they didn’t have a breast/breasts anymore. And that shit makes me so mad. You can argue all you want that they’re isolated cases but this is what happens when you put the importance on the sexualization of breasts over the well being of the survivor. The person suffering from cancer is ALWAYS, ALWAYS going to be more important. Treatment for cancer is so fucking difficult, it’s both physically and psychologically torturous and the fact that these people survived these ordeals only to deal with this misogynistic dehumanizing shit makes me want to fucking fight everyone. It makes me so goddamn mad.
It’s breast cancer awareness month so I’m bringing this back. Fuck your “save the tata’s” shirt; save, support, and love the people fighting this awful disease. They are so beautiful and so, so important and deserving with or without breasts.
i know resting bitch face is like a joke thing but um has anyone ever talked about how profoundly soul-destroying it is to be told you look sad or angry or like you hate everyone when you uhhh actually are…genuinely trying to be nice or gregarious or even were in quite a good mood and had literally no idea you were even coming across as aloof or unpleasant
someone said it
yeah pls don’t tell me that i always look angry or something like it’s just gonna make me more self conscious and i will prolly cry about it later
someone help me find that image of 4 cats being held up in front of a brightly coloured background. the cats look calm being held but each have their own personality
can we talk about how amazing cartoon network is and how amazing they feature diversity (race, lgbtq+, and body positivity) in their new shows
Don’t credit Cartoon Network, credit the creators of the shows.
No, do credit CN, they’re the ones allowing it. Plenty of creators have tried to get stuff like this through, only to be met with “can we make it more… white? and less gay?”
The Gravity Falls team tried to sneak in little old lady lesbians, no kissing, not even talking, on-screen for two seconds, but Disney didn’t allow it. It’s absolutely amazing that a network aimed at children is giving its creators elbow room to make their shows inclusive.
Do credit CN. They’re doing what all the other networks should’ve been doing a long time ago.
This girl became the youngest designer in history represented at New York fashion week!
Our schools are so hateful, racist and cruel! It is too hard for girls like Egypt “Ify” Ufele to ignore these bullies! She overcomed all these troubles and showed what she can! And I’m very proud of her!
