If you’re a woman that’s really sexy of you

…..men always quiz me when i claim to like something they like too. cause in their minds i’m either a.) lying to appeal to them/gain their approval or b.) only capable of having a superficial understanding of the subject and they need to “expose” me

Young girls really are pressured now more than ever to be seen as beautiful and sexy and perfect like IG models and whatever the fuck…..like that’s why you see “me at 14 vs 14 year old girls today” posts……….we didn’t have this constant stream of content like they do…..content telling us to be perfect and to have perfect clothes and sharp eyeliner wings that look photoshopped and shit like that….I mean it’s always been there but not like this…and while I think girls should be able to dress however they want and do whatever they want…..you have to take into consideration the fact that this all stems from a toxic culture where women have to be perfect and beautiful…now at younger and younger ages….and it’s really gross…and the media continues to sexualize and like…make young girls seem older and more appealing than they actually are idk the whole thing makes me so uncomfortable and it’s only going to get worse :/

And the wildest thing is, people will still try and justify it with the “there’s always been girls that dress older than they are!” argument. Which is true. But it was never the norm. Pre social media, most young girls were allowed be young girls. Here’s Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Lindsay Lohan at 14/15 in 2001-2007. They were arguably the biggest young stars of the time but this is how they presented

They aren’t being styled to look leagues older than they are. They’re allowed to just be their own age and look their own age. Now, here’s Millie Bobbie Brown at 13 in 2018, Veronika Bonell at 15/16 in 2017, Skai Jackson at 13 in 2015, and Caitlin Carmichael at 13 in 2017.

There is a deep problem in our society that this is what people are styling children to look like. They don’t look like children, they look like young adults. They could wear these exact same looks in 10 years and they wouldn’t be questioned because they’re dressed and made up to present as adults. This is what is presented as normal for young girls, this is the image they’re told is the “right” one, the one they should aspire to.

There’s nothing wrong with girls - or boys - wanting to be pretty. But there is a problem with young girls being constantly told that pretty for them means looking over 21 at 13.

This such pure ™ content

u know what im just gunna say it. sometimes the people you perceive to have superiority complexes don’t even have that. it is you who have put yourself in that position of feeling inferior to them because they are on a different level that you really aren’t at yet. they are at a place that you have not gotten to yet, and that makes you feel inferior to them. and you need to work on yourself instead of criticizing everyone around you for doing right by themselves. You need to do right by you, it is not them that is the problem. the problem solely lies with you. 

Arghhhhhhhh this is what my therapist has been trying to tell me!

ur therapist is a wise person. coming to accept this will relieve you of many stresses. it will also get rid of a lot of strains in friendships and potential friendships as well as with acquaintances. 

Rape is the only crime on the books for which arguing that the temptation to commit it was too clear and obvious to resist is treated as a defence. For every other crime, we call that a confession.

I’ve gotten more angry asks about this post than I have actual reblogs.
