Gender reveal parties in general are stupid to me lol. Like what does everyone talk about? Its private bits? Why not just share it at the baby shower? Kill two birds with one stone?

The person who invented gender reveal parties regrets inventing them.

When people announce “I’m unfollowing” in the comments or complain about someone’s content: “too many nature photos”, etc.

Like…it’s not YOUR page. You can just leave and not say anything. When OPI nail polish announced their Pride collection on Instagram, a bunch of Karens were commenting stuff like, “Now you’ll NEVER see a dime from me!” Umm…OPI must have thought, Oooh, I’m sooooo scared some random lady stopped buying my nail polish because we support LGBT rights.

Also, some older conservative ladies who follow famous gay male celebrities act all shocked when the guys have liberal views. What did you expect, Nancy from Ohio? Some of these guys are famous drag queens, they get called “groomers” by other conservatives…did you really think they would be MAGA? The lack of awareness is appalling.

I hate being left on read if we're at the point of the conversation where I expect a reply from you (e.g., I ask you a question).

Photoshopping a person to sexualize them is so creepy.

I see it with celebrities on social media. People edit photos of famous women and give them exaggerated cartoonish looking body parts.

I hate objectification in general.

One of my favorite YouTubers just defended the tradwife movement. For those who don’t know, you might have come across their videos online— they’re young, mostly white ladies in retro clothing, baking bread and meal prepping. But it’s not like how most women are homemakers; they are usually very religious and claim that women should submit to their husbands, enforcing traditional gender roles. They believe this is a woman’s ultimate goal in life, rather than working or getting an education. (Although people can do what they want, this type of life has no plan B.)

Some TEA. ️ So she usually posts a new video on Saturdays. This new video randomly pops up on my subscriptions so I listened to it while working.
As I said, she defends the tradwife movement. I am a bit confused about this— she calls it “self-care” and it’s good these ladies are using as a “business.” Maybe she doesn’t get that this came from the far-right religious fundie world since she’s Canadian? Then she says if women want to stay home or work it’s fine— all while criticizing modern feminists. (Ironically, the freedom to choose your lifestyle is a feminist idea in itself.)

Also a lot of these tradwife pages think ALL women should be religious and submit to their husbands. They won’t “live and let live.” It’s also hypocritical that the tradwives say women shouldn’t work and then make a bunch of money off their videos.

One of the pages she posted in there had a Trump 2024 thing in the profile so is this her way of hinting she’s conservatve? Even though she’s Canadian and can’t vote for him— and right after the election.

Yikes, girl. Can’t wait to read the comments.

Okay. Some of the comments were agreeing, but most were expressing my similar concerns. She is doing some backpedaling in the replies.

Anyway, I checked who she follows on Instagram and she is definitely conservative. I am disappointed but not surprised. I love her channel for the vintage fashion and Old Hollywood stuff, but this?? I’m torn.
