NOTHING IS RIGHT
Questions that have been bugging the crap out of me recently:
-If I drool over a photo of a woman in a mainstream magazine, is that a healthy expression of my sexuality and pro-woman or participation in the enforcement of unhealthy beauty standards that harm women? (Mostly hypothetical, because aside from women I actually know enough about to like for themselves/their work as well as their appearances, I tend to be attracted to moderately to quite chubby women who don't have bleached or straightened hair/too much makeup/obviously photomanipped everything, so the only magazine photos likely to affect me are ones of women with really cool eyes, which are a minority.)
-Where are the women I actually want to drool over, aside from in real life where they can break my heart? I can't even tell these freaking bottle blonds apart half the time, and the brunettes get iffier all the time, and the black women with suspiciously pale skin and obviously fake hair make my soul cry because nobody should have to do that much to be accepted as attractive. Culture, stop fetishizing fakeness and start catering to my tastes!
