British culture needs to reckon with the problem it has with people who simply choose not to drink - it’s terrible behaviour to decide to disrespect somebody’s boundaries

@scaryposhspice
facts. why are you so pressed and over-explaining because someone simply decides not to drink? it’s bc someone opting out of the lifestyle makes some people feel like it’s harder to justify their drinking habits to themselves

just finished Nanny and it is such a brilliant film. the motif of water is so powerful visually. Also, the way folklore and myth was woven in to illustrate fear and psychological horror was really well done!

a man that is capable of treating one woman poorly will eventually reveal his disdain to any person he’s with - it just may manifest differently
i hate the idea of a man mistreating women then being the woman he perceives as worthy of good treatment; that he settles down with. like it really makes me nauseous

deep-rooted power dynamics mean that ‘scamming’ men or being ‘spoilt’ by them materially is rarely neutral, there is always going to be some sort of cost whether it’s dignity or the right to say no. I’m going to need the girlies to stand up…

the weight of misogyny on + offline is too much to bear, women can’t carry the burden of speaking up alone. but even though men can do the most to detoxify these issues they also benefit from keeping women down 💀 who will lift the burden from our shoulders?
