i learned that in 2008 a bear was sued for stealing honey by a Macedonian beekeeper. The bear was found guilty, and the beekeeper received 1,700 euro from the state for the damages (x)

why do people legitimately think jennifer’s body was a feminist masterpiece

megan fox actually had a mental breakdown after jennifer’s body because she was so hypersexualized in that movie and in the marketing for it, going as far as saying she didn’t want to leave the house because she couldn’t stand the idea of people even looking at her

hi people think that it’s a feminist masterpiece because art is subjective but im here to link to the full interview where she talks with Diablo Cody (the film’s writer) about the film, including how she thinks it was an excellent film (“it’s my favorite thing I’ve ever done”) that she’s very proud of (“I don’t think anyone could have played the role as well as I did at that time”), how she was hurt by the paparazzi and specifically how what hurt about the movie was not the film (“it was the perfect project”), but the male-centered marketing of the woman-written, woman-directed, women-starring film about an oversexualized woman using said oversexualization to get revenge on her male tormentors. Please don’t blame women’s art about womanhood for how it was seen by men.

the marketing team was comprised of men who refused to cooperate with karyn kusama and diablo cody, refused to see and understand the movie’s themes and message, and insisted on a sexualized marketing strategy with men as the target audience despite the movie being made by women and for young girls. in response to an email from kusama and cody concerned about the marketing strategy, a member of the marketing team said just said “jennifer sexy, she steal your boyfriend”. understand that jennifer’s body is first and foremost a piece of women’s media, and then decide how you want to go about criticizing it.
