i always have the same problem with City Chic clothes (i bought something on sale yesterday to treat myself) but it’s always the same 

like, the dresses are almost always low cut (and if they’re not the whole thing manages to slip and slide so it’s low cut anyway) so everyone can see my luscious breasts but they’re always so long so no one can see my just as luscious knees

knees are just as cute as boobs. c’mon now say it with me.

Tumbling over the past year and a half has made me see the problems of gender roles that exist in media, but sometimes it gets to the point where I over analyze every single piece of television or film that I come across. (However this in no way means that I think feminist media criticism is wrong, or should be avoided!) Mostly I just over think everything.

I've thought about this a lot and I think the answer is MORE, and MORE DIVERSE female characters.

We're used to having one or two female characters in a cast of mostly men, and hold them to a higher standard because of that. So all of feminism is resting on the shoulders of one female character - and that DOESN'T WORK. Because there isn't one right way to be a woman.

If casts had more diversity of gender, we could have warrior women and non-warrior women, sexual women and non-sexual women, feminine and non-feminine, and mixtures of all of the above…all are completely legitimate ways to be a woman.

We're used to seeing a lot of hypersexualized, scantily clad, one-dimensional stereotypes of women without stories or motives of their own. We respond by asking for characters that AREN'T THAT, but we may end up pushing too far in the opposite direction, and demonize traits like sexuality, conventional attractiveness, and traditional femininity as "sexist." That's why the most popular female characters are the ones that are most similar to male heroes - the Arya Starks - emotionally distant, unattached, solve their problems with violence, not remotely sexual. That's fine too of course. I love Arya. It's just not…the only way to be.

look it got better

Ku Klux Klan on a ferris wheel, April 1928
Members of Cañon City Ku Klux Klan No. 21 pose on and around the ferris wheel at the site of a carnival at 8th and Greenwood in Cañon City, Colorado. Klan members were invited by W. H. Forsythe, owner of the outfit and a klansman from Fort Collins, to don their gowns and pose for a group portrait. Houses and trees can be seen in the background. At left are a flying swings amusement ride and a ticket booth.
