Drag me if you want but I feel like a major problem with liberal/Western gender ideology is that it’s so focused on aesthetics. Like “Look at me, I’m defying gender norms by wearing a dress/suit/makeup/whatever.” Like okay but what about defying gender norms via the breakdown of behaviour? What about acknowledging things like male entitlement, aggression, perceived weakness and submissiveness, the expectation of women to perform emotional labour etc. If we don’t actively work to break down oppressive and dangerous gender stereotypes, what is the point? Defying gender norms and identities can’t just be limited to clothing, hair, and makeup
No matter what a post on tumblr tries to tell you, your moral and ethical stances will never be determined by what you reblog and what you scroll past. Don’t let manipulation tactics force you into doing anything you don’t want to do.
