they should make steroids but mclennon STILL GOT IT!!
I want whatever you're on
femininity being defined by the patriarchy isn't something I'm denying. I'm saying that with the changing roles (it's spelled roles, by the way) of women and the perception of women in society, we have the power more than ever to reclaim our agency and our definition of modern femininity without it being bastardized by misogyny.
One of those ways is our style and dress.
I've never said that a full face of makeup is empowering. I'm saying that women who do wear makeup and heels are often belittled because of how femininity is perceived, and instead of treating them like brainwashed handmaidens, we should be accepting of all styles of expression against our (mutual) oppressorsthe freedom of dress and style is just the tip of the iceberg for greater bodily autonomy over women. Girls can wear make up as well as be taken seriously. Girls can be unshaven, bare faced, and wear more masculine clothing and also be taken seriously (because butches aren't taken seriously).
I'm just saying that we don't have to other-ize women the way TERF ideology so often does.
beatles vs beetles who winning
Are we talking prime beatles or current beatles? Cause half of them are currently dead, the beetles would win.
But prime beatles would have the crowd stomp the beetles so they would win.
Teenage boys and grown men have equal capacity to be abusive. In fact, it's grown men who are known abusers, especially- say it with me now- those who date 18-year- olds at 40.
As a teenage girl, I think this is disgusting. You're entitled to any fics you want, but romanticising **this** in particular and the arguments you present for it is very, very harmful.
Did I disturb you by pointing out that youre engaging in a grooming fantasy that does, in fact, affect the young girls that will potentially read your novel? If you really want an age gap, why not have the character be a fucking ADULT (Not in legal terms, because being called "legal" is fucking gross) instead of some waif.
This is harmful to young girls, and I suggest you seriously evaluate what happened to you at 17-18. It's *not* okay for a grown ass man to be interested in a TEENAGER.
I'm sorry I, a *teenager*, would point out that 40 year old men cannot be in relationships with teenagers. I'm so sorry I told you to not perpetuate a harmful storytelling trope.
Side note: You looked all fancy throwing out those big literary names at my friend, but you conviniently forgot Nabokov. Perhaps you felt discomfort at mentioning his name in this pursuit....?
My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.
I once lived a peaceful life with simple dreams, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war tore through Gaza. I had to flee my home, leaving behind everything I knew, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.
The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.
I live in constant fear of judgment and violence. On top of this, I face extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.
Life has become a daily fight for survival.
Dear LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters around the world, I turn to you in my time of desperate need. I have no one else to ask for help. The world around me looks at me with disgust, and I can no longer bear this life. I am exhausted, broken, and alone. Please, I beg you, help me leave this place and find safety, dignity, and a chance to live as myself. I cannot survive here any longer. Your support is my only hope.
Every day, I fear for my life. But I refuse to give up. I want to live. Please, your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter how small, gives me hope for a better tomorrow.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

THIS IS SO REAL THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Just remembered another thing that I find irksome about the comic outside of the obvious, so apologies for this second rant!
There are so many actually interesting plot points that Rusty has written within Leasebound, and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing with. And that really bothers me. I think what makes it so bothersome in that Rusty has gone on record to say that her story is meant to be about "interesting female characters" and like-
They aren't. Because you don't actually write about them outside of making them deal with the horrors of women who have more body hair than outside of their legs.
It generally prickles my pruddles the amount of times that Rusty has actually written parts of the lore that have substance, and then cooked them into nothing burgers.
Jaden having immense guilt over her fathers death, both because there was nothing she could do about it, and because she eventually dropped and gave up on her objective of going to medical school and becoming a doctor in his memory?
Nothing burger. I don't think we've literally ever come back to this plot point since it was introduced
Riley and her turbulant relationship with her family, specifically hinting to the idea that they flat out disowned her/don't associate with her anymore?
Nothing burger. I don't believe we've ever circled back to this plot point either. It was hinted at in the first few chapters and in behind the scenes of the original story, but I haven't seen it mentioned outside of that
The turbulent relationship with Karrisa and how she feels unwelcomed with her relationship with her boyfriend, because of her family's past traumas and distrust of men due to said trauma?
I'm taking a wild shot in the dark that they're likely never going to come back to this. And if they do, it's not gonna come back in a particularly satisfying or good way.
Nothing burger. And that sucks! Because this should be the shit that should actually be expanded upon! These are good avenues in a story to explore, and she just does nothing with them!
The saddest part about Leasebound as a concept and comic is that it actually has so much potential to get really interesting, but Rusty does nothing with what ACTUALLY makes it interesting in favor of acting like she's stuck in the 2016 anti-SJW era.
what are your thoughts on controversial figure, greg heffley
