Yeah you and almost every other girl. Do you want a cookie or….?
Yes, Megan Fox Syndrome is super, super annoying; I agree. But you are also just perpetuating the girlhate by posting shit about how much you hate girls who hate other girls. You are doing exactly what you hate them for doing. Not classy folks. Don’t be shitty.
And on a related note, everyone who reads this should be reading this:
What If I Love Being The Only Girl In The Boys Club? Megan Fox Syndrome, aka Wendy from Peter Pan. It is the delusion that you can become an official part of the boys’ club if you are its strictest enforcer, its most useful prole. That if you follow the rules exactly you can become the Official Woman. If you refuse other women admission you are denying that other women are talented, which makes you just as bad as any boys’ club for thinking there would only be one talented girl at a time.

“Gah! A Muslim with a knife! Terror!”
After (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner with friends from my graduate studies program (whom I used to think of as my family away from home, until this sort of thing kept happening). Made me feel like I’ll never escape the harm of so-called well-meaning privileged people who fail to recognize that being ironic about racism can still reproduce it.

“Sexuality serves as an especially dense transfer point for relations of inmanent power precisely because it crystallizes around the distraction of a natural individual personal mystery all the material economic and political strands which tie the individual to both state and market, and it is through such material distractions that capitalism clearly demonstrates yet again its ability to confuse us.” - David T. Evans, Sexual Citizenship
I HOPE THIS STATEMENT IS PURPOSELY IRONIC.
Hey jackass,
i don’t give a fuck if your girlfriend, your ladyfriend, your girl friends, your sister don’t care when you say “these women are only here for their titties,” because guess what, I give a fucking fuck when you say that shit. when you talk about women that way, you’re talking about me that way HOW DOES THAT NOT OCCUR TO YOU? “women” is not some sort of “abstract they’re-a-social-construct-you-said-it-yourself concept” you’re talking about me. you are literally talking about me when you say “women.” when you use words like cunt and pussy to devalue someone, guess what you’re doing. guess guess guess. when you say shit that LITERALLY MEANS “we are only valuing them for their sexualized bodyparts,” THAT’S A SHITTY THING TO SAY.
and this is not me being self-absorbed or self-involved or taking away your fun or taking shit too seriously. it’s not self-involved for me to stand up for myself. it’s not taking something too seriously when i feel really uncomfortable and gross and am suddenly very aware of parts of my body in ways that make me feel really self-conscious.
so stop it. because you’re being a jerk.
…is what i wish i could say, because for all my inability to censor myself sometimes, i still bite my tongue the other eleven out of a dozen times shit like this goes on, because i am still that stupid shy little asian girl who wants people to like me because a part of me still feels like i am only valuable when i am being validated by shitfaces like you.
