Snarky female goth. Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway. I like comics, cute animals, computers, books, art, collecting action figures, sunsets, long walks on the beach (so long as the beach has wifi), & coffee with way too much sugar in it.

Only blogging because this is my favorite tumblr post and i can never find it when I need to.
If you’re in the UK & haven’t yet done so, please register to vote, especially if you’re under 25. You only have a little time left. This is your future & not registering means it’ll be decided by others. It only takes a few minutes.
Alternatively, at least make sure you have an account on Kickstarter, because if the Tories get in again & finish their work on privatising the NHS, what’ll be how you’ll be paying for healthcare.
There’s this new TV show, Jamestown, about women who were shipped to America to marry the new colonists in 1619. Guardian critic Mark Lawson complained it was somehow ~unrealistic to depict 17th century women having “modern” thoughts like… objecting to rape? And making jokes?
This is so stupid, sexist, and shortsighted, FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS:
I think men like the Mythical Misogynistic Past for a couple of reasons. First, it lets them off the hook for present-day misogyny, because nothing in the present is ever quite as bad as the Mythical Misogynistic Past and so stop your complaining, woman (some tack on racism and Islamophobia and use the Mythical Misogynistic Middle East as their scapegoat instead: notice the use of terms like “backwards” or “medieval").
Second, it gives them a sort of fantasy land where they’re important and powerful, and never have to compromise with or respect women, and can do whatever they want, whenever they want. Or, if they don’t take advantage of this unbridled power, then they’re a very special person who’s much nicer than everyone else, instead of someone practicing basic decency. Because in the Mythical Misogynistic Past it’s not basic decency, that’s going above and beyond!
And third, I find in a lot of male supremacist circles there’s this idea that feminism is an unnatural modern invention, imposed artificially on society (usually by some sort of shadowy female cabal). And even men who are just run-of-the-mill sexist might have inklings of that: that feminism this new thing that no one ever thought of before, and the natural state of humanity is men having absolute power over women. That’s why they’re so insistent on “historical accuracy,” not just in this but in stuff like not having any black people in period dramas - it’s not just how they think it was (it wasn’t), but how they think it’s supposed to be.
“My name is Mark Lawson and I don’t think women are people, so women can’t have ever thought they were people, either.”
Don’t forget gay people too - I’m 99% sure that the dig at Downton Abbey is referring to the household being relatively OK with Thomas’s sexuality for the time period, even though ‘relatively OK’ amounted to ‘eh he’s good at his job & we’re used to having him around so whatever’, & not everyone was approving.
